The contractor--a licensed C-10 and UL-certified firm--will handle all submittals, permits, inspections, and coordination with the Owner (Renaissance Entrepreneurial Center) and SFFD. The system will undergo pre-testing, owner acceptance, and final SFFD approval. 10% ratings bonus shall be applied to SBE/LBE firms submitting as a prime. Direct inquires to Steve Gallagher M 415 940 4778 or sgallagher@gdsadvise.com. Provide all materials and labor for the complete removal of the existing dedicated function fire alarm system, and for the complete design, installation and commissioning of a new addressable fire alarm system for the existing 3-story commercial office building located at 275 5th Street in San Francisco, CA. The existing building has an obsolete Silent Knight IFP-50 dedicated function fire alarm control panel/unit, and it performs Elevator Recall Control and Supervisory Control of the partial coverage sprinkler system. The building is not fully protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system but includes partial coverage in the garage and exterior windows on the alley side of the building. The main Elevator Recall Control and Supervisory Control Unit is located on the ground floor in a room in the circulation space (corridor) connected to the building entrance space. The base bid fire alarm replacement scope includes the replacement of the existing Silent Knight IFP-50 and all signaling line circuit (SLC) devices and initiating device circuit (IDC) devices (field devices), and any notification appliances or circuits (NAC) [if necessary for compatibility purposes] based on the like-for-like provisions of the CA State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and as permitted by SFFD. The contractors shall field verify any as-builts with installed conditions. The intent of this project is to replace the obsolete dedicated function FACP with one new dedicated function FACP and all SLC and IDC circuits and devices throughout the building with new, addressable technology. As an alternate bid, a new, voluntary code compliant manual fire alarm system (CFC 907.2) and complete occupant notification (CFC 907.5) will be provided. The dedicated function fire alarm system functionality will be replicated in the new fire alarm system if the bid alternate is accepted. All new and retained fire alarm equipment must be compatible and listed with the new FACP as required by the CA State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and SFFD. The new FACP must have the capability for expansion to accommodate future improvement projects.
