2024-063M23 Replace Fire Detection Fire Suppression Systems

The project involves replacing fire detection and fire suppression systems at various buildings. The contractor will need to verify existing conditions, remove devices and equipment no longer required, and provide new components and accessories as needed. The fire alarm system must be loop-connected via fiber optic cable, and communication between fire alarm control panels must be maintained even if a single fiber optic cable is damaged. The contractor must also coordinate with the local jurisdiction and fire alarm supplier. Some key points to consider: • The contractor must provide a building-wide duct cleaning before installation. • All fire alarm detection devices must be covered during the cleaning service, and the fire alarm system must be taken off-line. • The system must remain off-line for at least 3 hours after cleaning before being put back into service. • The contractor must provide an anti-ligature, correctional grade protective cover for devices indicated with a "WG". • The air sampling system tubing must be routed concealed and in secure locations. • The contractor must provide an access door at sample port locations. • Smoke detectors must be located per NFPA 72 and manufacturer's requirements, and not within 3 feet of any ceiling-mounted air supply device.
