NAVFAC Design-Build Model Request for Proposal - Magazine

D40 FIRE PROTECTION


NAVFAC                                               PTS-D40 (December 2018)
                                         --------------------------------
Preparing Activity: NAVFAC                SUPERSEDING PTS-D40 (February 2018)

PERFORMANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

SECTION D40

FIRE PROTECTION
12/18


NOTE:  This section is intended to be used as a guide and contains requirements that are common to Magazines; however, not all requirements and equipment items will be applicable to all projects.  In addition, there may be special requirements for a particular project that are not addressed at all.  The RFP preparer may have to incorporate additional information to address these special requirements in this PTS and corresponding Part 3 ESR.  If the RFP preparer chooses to delete building elements that are not required for the project, do not change the remaining Uniformat paragraph designations (example - A102001). Uniformat designations are unique to the products they are assigned to. However, the subparagraph numerical extensions (example – 1.2 or a,b,c) of the Uniformat designations may change if subparagraphs are deleted.

This guide specification is formatted utilizing Uniformat II, an industry recognized standard, ASTM E 1557.  When the RFP preparer chooses to add a paragraph that does not apply to an existing building element already included in the specification, refer to the Uniformat/WBS located on the NAVFAC Design-Build Website for a listing of Uniformat II designations and definitions.

NOTE:  The RFP preparer may view or hide the criteria notes in this PTS section by modifying the WORD preferences for "Hidden text".  To view the criteria notes, choose "File" then "Option".  Click "Display" then check the "Hidden text" box under "Always show these formatting marks on the screen".  In the same section, check the box for "Print hidden text" under "Printing options" to print the criteria notes.

D40 GENERAL

RFP Part 3 including the Engineering System Requirements (ESR) provide project specific requirements.  The RFP Part 4, Performance Technical Sections (PTS) provide generalized technical requirements that apply to multiple facility types and include more requirements than are applicable to any one project. Therefore, only the RFP Part 4 requirements that apply to the project and further define the RFP Part 3 project specific requirements are required.

D40 1.1 DESIGN GUIDANCE

Provide the design and installation of fire protection systems in accordance with the following references.  This Performance Technical Specification (PTS) adds clarification to the fundamental requirements contained in the following Government Standards.  The general requirements of this PTS section are located in PTS Section Z10, General Performance Technical Specification.

D40 1.1.1 Government Standards

UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC)

UFC 1-200-01 DoD Building Code (General Building Requirements)
(A reference in this PTS section to UFC 1-200-01 requires compliance with the Tri-Service Core UFCs that are listed therein, which includes the following significant UFC:
UFC 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities
UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements)

D40 1.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Materials and assemblies installed in the work must be inspected and found to be in compliance with industry standards and these specifications prior to acceptance of the work. Items found not to be in compliance must be removed, or corrective measures taken, to assure compliance with the referenced standard.

Submit Qualifications, Training Plans, and Test Plans and Procedures indicated herein 45 calendar days prior to the expected date of execution. Notify the Contracting Officer 14 calendar days prior to all testing. Submit test results within 7 calendar days of completion of testing.

D40 1.2.1 Qualified Workers

Use qualified workers who are certified as a minimum Level III Technician by National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET), thoroughly trained and experienced, and completely familiar with the specified requirements and the methods needed for proper performance of the work in this section.  Installers of systems in D4090 shall be certified at a minimum Level IV NICET.  Installers of Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride (CPVC) sprinkler systems shall be certified by the manufacturer and maintain a copy of their certification on hand at all times.


NOTE:  NAVFAC has made every effort to use commercial standards in the PTS sections.  This PTS section is designed to only use commercial standards.  If project requirements dictate the use of a UFGS sections as a standard, add a paragraph here listing the required UFGS section. State in the paragraph that the DOR must edit this UFGS section in accordance with PTS Z10 and submit it as a part of the design submittal.

D40 1.3 CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTALS

Submit construction submittals in accordance with PTS Section Z10, General Performance Technical Specifications.  In addition to the Z10 requirements, the Designer of Record (DOR) must approve the following construction submittals as a minimum:

All fire protection engineering submittals including:

  1. Shop Drawings.  Provide shop drawings for all systems.
  2. Product Data.  Provide product data for all equipment.

D4010 FIRE ALARM AND DETECTION SYSTEMS

D401001 FIRE ALARM DISTRIBUTION

D401001 1.1 REMOTE ANNUNCIATORS

Remote annunciators must have a minimum 80 character alphanumeric display with alarm acknowledge, alarm silence, and reset functions.
