Nature of Requirements

The following is a summary of the statement of work for this requirement.

Objectives To install 12 individual isolation valves into the Y unit lower I range cells’ fire protection system. These individual valves/sprinkler shut offs must be connected to the site fire alarm system. The valves will be monitored by the site fire alarm system to inform staff if they are closed or open. The electronic valves once installed must be wired into the current system. Once wired, the contractor must notify Siemens for installation into their fire detection system. Contractor must perform all work in compliance with CSC technical Standards.

Background When offenders break cell sprinkler heads, the only way to isolate the cells in question is to shut off the main sprinkler system in I range. The system can be shut off for hours until staff or a contractor arrives to fix the sprinkler head. During this time our staff, offenders and our assets in Y unit are at risk of potential fires with no sprinkler system. These individual isolation valves would ensure the safety of all.

Scope of work • To install 12, 1“ isolation sprinkler valves that can be individually electronically monitored to determine if they are open or closed. • The contractor must wire all valves into the pre-existing empty conduit and connect them to the existing fire detection system for 24 hour monitoring. • The contractor must ensure all connections to the fire suppression system are completed and operational within all cells. • The contractor must ensure the building automation system for the fire detection system is compatible with the new 12 isolation valves and are viewable within Y control and MCCP control. • The contractor must have Siemens (as proprietary rights to the monitoring system) verify the new connections to the system. • The contractor must ensure all CSC technical criteria are followed.
