Fire Alarm System (Senior Citizen Plaza)

Current building fire alarm system operates corridor & exterior walkway notification devices only, initiated by manual pull stations. Scope of work is to install a new fire alarm system to provide fire alarm system smoke detectors w/ low frequency sounder base for notification in all units & provide notification devices in common areas. Building is not sprinklered. Fire pump serves standpipes only. Current sounder system including 398 emergency pull strings in 199 residential units (two in each unit) will be disabled under current scope of work as specified by KWHA representatives to allow existing conduits to be utilized for routing new FA wiring. All 398 pull strings, along with any related components or evidence of their installation, must be removed prior to de-energizing the old equipment. For bid purposes, all wiring shall be new. Where existing wiring is found to be in serviceable condition & compliant with current code, contractor may propose the potential cost savings to the KWHA for consideration
