Summary of Work: Edwards EST-4 Fire Alarm System Upgrade: The existing Edwards EST-3 fire alarm head-end system shall be replaced with a new complete Edwards EST-4 system including a main FACP (located in the Security office), zoned amplifiers/boosters, terminal cabinets and LCD touchscreen remote annunciator panel (located in main lobby). This will include reconnection of the building extension in adjacent ALOFT building (Presidents Club) to the new main panel located in DPAC. Firefighter Smoke Control Panel (FSCP): new code compliant Firefighter Smoke Control Panel (FSCP) to replace the existing outdated FSCP. FSCP will provide diagrammatic representation of the existing atrium smoke control system and will allow for the Fire Department and qualified staff to have complete control capability over the smoke-control system within the Security office. The new FSCP will include provisions for verification which include positive confirmation of actuation, testing, manual over-ride, the presence of power downstream of all disconnects, and disconnect switch positions. Smoke evacuation fans SEF-1, SEF-2 and SEF-3 shall be controlled by a "hand-off-auto" (HOA) switches located in the firefighter's smoke control panel. Loring will review the capability of the existing lobby entry door controllers which provide lobby make-up air and will provide control capability at FSCP via HOA switches and verification indications as required.
