- Description
- Current FCI 7200 fire alarm program HVAC package and split unit location and information Ceiling type and size locations for hospital 9-9-2014 1. Can old fire alarm reports be provide to confirm devices counts (fire &alarm & sprinkler reports). Response: Information given is accurate, more so than the fire alarm reports as they can be confusing since they are not done in sequence on every inspection. I can provide a print of the program listing showing all devises on the fire alarm system along with a verified device count from me. 2. Please confirm all door holder power is 24 vac or dc but mainly low voltage. Response: 24 VDC, low voltage. 3. Infection disease barrier was mention can we get copy of the procedures for proper requirements. It was mention use of tacky mats if required. Response: Infection prevention and safety controls will be determined before the start of the project after award. A form can be given and an example form filled out from a previous project can be provided but will vendor needs to be aware that the level of protection required for the project changes depending on the method of approach on installation and de-installation of the fire alarm system. 4. Who is the approval agency for finaling it was mention local Claremore but will they take independent have used J.C. Carroll of Fire Protection Consulting that works with State of Oklahoma. Is there a GSA agency? Response: As the local owner of the fire alarm system we can't be our own AHJ for a Federal facility. An independent fire alarm/safety consultant or other regulatory agency is preferred. Since this is a designed installation, the Facility Engineer/Project Officer needs to a general review/be explained the design and layout before the design is finalized to ensure all areas are addressed and to help discuss/clear up any confusion in codes pertaining to healthcare. 5. Is the Directive #7 - Visible notification devices in public areas and common areas. Response: Section 907.10.1.1 of 2006 the International Fire Code requires visible alarm notification appliances to be provided in all public areas and common areas. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines Section 4.28.3 which covers visual alarms in general, it is not sufficient to install visual signals only at audible alarm locations. Audible alarms installed in corridors and lobbies can be heard in adjacent rooms, but a visual signal can be observed only within the space it occupies. Visual alarms are required in hallways, lobbies, restrooms, and any other general usage and common use areas, such as meeting and conference rooms, classrooms, cafeterias, employee break rooms, dressing rooms, examination rooms and similar spaces. Whatever codes requires, needs to be addressed during design section of project. Visual alarms are not required in areas used solely as employee work areas or in mechanical, electrical, or telephone closets,janitor's closets, or similar non-occupiable spaces. (none currently) When a fire alarm is required by code, our office will require visual alarms in the areas listed above in any new construction, or additions to existing buildings, that takes place after January 1,2008. New construction only affects MRI building which was just installed this year. The NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and NFPA 99 Healthcare Codes have to be incorporated with other applicable codes since this is healthcare. The intent of the this project is to bring the fire alarm system up to code(s). If the codes for visual/audible notification in healthcare is required in these areas, then the new system needs to be designed and installed according to ALL applicable codes. Any confusion between codes needs to be addressed when designing the new system. 6. Please confirm ceiling tile model and number if required to replace any existing tiles. Response: See Attached Ceiling Type and Size Locations 7. Can we have a list of all AHU's and sizes to confirm duct detectors quantities for requires units. Response: See attachment "HVAC package and split unit location & information" for HVAC units on ground and above the ceiling and RTU units on roof. • AHU 1A = above 10 tons, unit has one supply and one return duct detector • AHU 1B = above 10 tons, unit has one supply and one return duct detector • AHU 2A = above 10 tons, unit has one supply and one return duct detector • AHU 2B = above 10 tons, unit has one supply and one return duct detector • AHU 3A = above 10 tons, unit has two supply (one for hot duct, one for cold duct) detectors and one return duct detector • AHU 3D = above 10 tons, unit has two supply (one for hot duct, one for cold duct) detectors and one return duct detector • AHU 3 = above 10 tons, unit has one supply and one return duct detector • AHU 4 = above 10 tons, unit has one supply and one return duct detector • West Administration HVAC package unit = 5 ton, unit already has one duct detector • Northwest Administration HVAC split unit = 5 ton, unit has NO duct detector • Northeast Administration HVAC split unit = 5 ton, unit has NO duct detector • MRI Control & Unit room HVAC package unit on roof = 4 ton, unit has one duct detector • MRI Equipment room HVAC package unit on roof = 4 ton, unit has one duct detector • Housekeeping HVAC package unit on roof = 5 ton, unit has one duct detector • In-Patient Pharmacy HVAC package unit, on roof = 4 ton, unit has NO duct detector • CT room HVAC package unit, on roof = 5 ton, unit has NO duct detector • IT Server room HVAC package unit, two 3-ton units (one lead, one lag), total = 6 tons for supply and return ducts. NO duct detectors. • ER AHU-6, above ceiling HVAC unit for ER department = 10 tons, unit has one supply duct detector, one return duct detector • Storage room 1208 HVAC unit, hanging from ceiling in open plan room = 5 ton, unit has NO duct detectors • HVAC unit above mailroom 1201 = 5 ton unit, unit has NO duct detectors • HVAC unit above Physical Therapy room 1205 = 5 ton unit, unit has NO detectors 8. Please confirm that owner to provide adequate electrical circuits for remote power supplies. Response: This is all dependent on the number of new 120 VAC circuits required per the design and if they are required to be dedicated circuits. Parts of the hospital have few available circuits and may require an additional panel. Hospital can provide some new circuits but again, if they are many new circuits required, vendor will be required to have an electrician install more circuits/panels as needed. May need to modify the purchase order after award if this is the case. 9. Please provide Cads files for estimating this project allowing to proper scaling of plans including roof plans for proper sizing of each mechanical room. Response: There is not a CAD file showing the penthouses that is accurate. I have provided an overview of the hospital with dimensions of each penthouse on the roof in Attachment C. 10. In job walk it was mentioned that we could get a marked up drawing show the different ceiling types such as hard lid, 2'x4' tiles and 18"x60" tiles areas. Response: Ceiling tiles are 2'x4' and 20"x60", with a few 2'x2' ceiling tiles. Attached is a scanned document showing the size locations, "Ceiling type and size locations for hospital 9-9-2014". 11. In this facility is there any requirement for Mass Notification Systems. Response: Not that we are aware of, should be addressed in code requirements for hospitals/healthcare. 12. In a Hospital 2 options for notification devices are available Chime/Strobes or Horn/Strobes below is brief description however horn/strobes are more widely used. Response: Horn/strobes preferred.
