- TELEPHONE CALLS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTEDDESCRIPTION Repair Fire Protection Systems, Various Locations at the John F. Kennedy Space Center,Florida 32899. INTRODUCTION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is soliciting information aboutpotential sources for the Repair of Fire Protection Systems, Installation of FireSuppression Systems at Various Locations at the John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida32899. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the statedrequirements are invited to submit a capabilities statement, appropriate documentationand references. SCOPE OF WORK This project is to install fire protection at various locations to include a 200,000square foot portion of a historical facility which houses many laboratories, datacenters, astronaut quarters/training/testing areas, etc., where the work will have to beperformed with minimal impact to each of these work areas, while at the same time,maintaining the remaining facility fully operational. It is anticipated that work inthis facility will require off-shift work, with the work area returned to acceptableconditions by the end of the work shift. Also, these are older facilities which pre-datemany of the environmental and health friendly materials requirements of today.Due tothis, there are required abatement activities that will be necessary to insure worker andoccupant safety. The remaining facilities are smaller in size but similar in complexity.Specifically, this project will consist of: 1. Providing water-based fire suppression systems at various facilities, or parts offacilities, at Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Types of systems for this project include wetpipe and single-interlocked pre-action fire sprinkler systems. A new fire pump isrequired to be installed at one facility. Additional aspects of this work include thefollowing:Working above suspended acoustic tile ceilings, including responsibility for any damageto/replacement of the ceiling tiles.Working around other equipment installed above suspended ceilings, including temporarilyand/or permanently moving and/or suspending this equipment from structural elements asnecessary to perform the work.Patching/replacing sections of hard ceiling removed or, where required, replacing dropceiling in those areas with suspended acoustic tile ceilings.Routing piping around sensitive electrical equipment per NFPA requirements.Providing multiple layers (elevations) of sprinklers and/or sprinkling under obstructionsin some facilities/parts of facilities.Working in occupied, operating (critical) facilities with minimal impact on operationsand occupants.Providing underground piping associated with fire suppression system installation (seepart 2. below).Providing fire alarm modifications associated with fire suppression system installation(see part 3. below).Use of products that are UL Listed or FM Approved as required by design.A Certified Automatic Sprinkler Specialist must be on site to supervise and/or performinstallation. A Sprinkler System Specialist is considered certified when the specialistholds a valid Sprinkler System Layout, Level III Certification from the NationalInstitute for Certification in Engineering Technologies NICET 1014-7 or is licensed bythe State of Florida as a Contractor Class I in accordance with Florida State Statute,Chapter 633, Section 633.521 and holds a current Certificate of Competency.2. Providing underground piping from the existing water distribution system nearest thefacility to supply the fire suppression systems for particular buildings. Work includesthe following:Concrete demolition and replacement.Trenching and compaction.Wet-tapping existing water distribution lines for fire suppression piping.Providing backflow prevention assemblies.Providing yard Siamese fire department connections with wafer-check valves in most cases.Providing additional valves with curb boxes as necessary.Working and routing around existing underground utilities and piping.Dig/excavation permits are required.3. Providing modifications to existing fire alarm systems at the facilities where newsuppression systems are installed to include the following:Demolition of fire alarm devices (primarily heat detectors) no longer required due toinstallation of fire sprinkler systems.Modifications to fire alarm circuits to account for lack of demolished devices (i.e.conduit and wiring removing and/or modification with terminal blocks where existingcircuits need to be retained).Connection of water flow alarm, tamper switch supervisory, and other new devices to theexisting fire alarm system.Installation of air sampling detection systems requiring installers to be certified inthe design and installation of these systems by the particular manufacturer selected.Installation of fire alarm radio transceiver for modification to existing reportingmethodology in some facilities.Installing a new, addressable fire alarm control panel that is UL Listed for releasing inone facility.Working with Simplex proprietary software/programming in fire alarm control panels and onthe KSC Central Fire Monitoring System (i.e. Simplex will be required to perform some ofthe work as a sub-contractor).Testing fire alarm systems per KSC requirements, which include development of preliminaryand final test procedures that will be reviewed and approved by the Government, prior tostart of system testing.Use of products that are UL listed or FM approved as required by design.Certified Fire Alarm Specialist must be on site to supervise and/or perform installation.A Fire Alarm specialist is considered certified when the specialist holds a valid FireAlarm System, Level III Certification from the National Institute for Certification inEngineering Technologies NICET 1016-2, or a valid Level III Fire Alarm EngineeringTechnician Certification from the International Municipal Signal Association (IMSA); oris licensed by the State of Florida as a Fire Alarm Contractor I in accordance withFlorida State Statute, Chapter 489, Part II.4. Environmental and safety work including worker protection, asbestos/lead abatement(where required), waste segregation, and waste disposal.5. Providing shop drawings (including, but not limited to, sprinkler layouts, hydrauliccalculations (signed and sealed by a fire protection professional engineer, licensed inthe state of Florida), fire alarm wiring diagrams, and battery calculations), productdata, and other construction transmittals as required by the contract documents. Thesedocuments will be reviewed and approved by the Government, prior to start of work.Systems shall be designed per NFPA codes (available by NFPA subscription or individualpurchase), NASA-STD-8719.11 (publicly available), and KSC-STD-F-0004 (publiclyavailable), latest revisions. The Government provided design and specifications areperformance based, outlining areas to be addressed and required densities. Contractorwill be required to develop a specific detailed design for each affected facility andshall submit for Government approval prior to beginning any construction.
