4 Volume 2: RFP SECTION 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION A. An assessment of the Eastside Unified High School District s fire alarm systems and fire alarm monitoring systems for 13 high schools, two adult centers and the district offices was conducted in The fire alarm systems at the sites were found to have varying degrees of deficiencies as well as levels of obsolescence. Based on the assessments, improvements are being instituted to improve the fire alarm systems at the sites. This project is called the Districtwide Fire Alarm Modernization Project. B. The Districtwide Fire Alarm Modernization Project consists of partial and complete fire alarm system upgrades at the sites to support the demands of the modernization program, to comply with code requirements, and to minimize annual repair and maintenance costs. C. The improvement of the fire alarm systems and fire alarm monitoring systems will provide enhanced life safety for the building occupants as well as provide for a long term, sustainable plan for future modifications of the fire alarm systems. D. The project sites are as follows: 1. Andrew P. Hill High School Senter Road, San Jose, CA Calero High School Calero Ave., San Jose, CA Education Center (District Office) N. Capitol Avenue, San Jose, CA 4. Evergreen Valley High School Quimby Rd., San Jose, CA Foothill High School Pala Ave., San Jose, CA Independence Adult Education Center Educational Park Dr, San Jose, CA Independence High School Educational Park Drive, San Jose, CA James Lick High School - 57 North White Road, San Jose, CA Mt.

Overfelt High School Cunningham Ave., San Jose, CA Yerba Buena High School Lucretia Ave., San Jose, CA E. All High Schools, Alternative Education Schools, Charter Schools, and Adult Education Centers that are associated with the sites listed above are included within the scope of this Project. F. Currently, these sites primarily use the Gamewell FCI product line; although, some sites utilize other manufacturer s product lines as well. The age and condition of the systems vary from site to site, with some sites having newer panels, devices and appliances, whereas other sites have aged systems with components in fair to poor condition.

5 GENERAL DESIGN REQURIEMENTS DOCUMENT 01 Volume 2: RFP A. These Criteria Documents establish the scope, design intent and design criteria, minimum level of performance and quality, as well as functional and technical requirements for the fire alarm system improvements. The Design-Build Entity (DBE) shall utilize these requirements and the District Facilities Design Standards in development of the design and construction for this project. B. Scope of Work: The project consists of varying levels of fire alarm system modernizations for multiple sites. These improvements include, but are not limited to: 1. Providing the partial or complete replacement of the fire alarm systems based on the specific site scope of work and per the requirements of this RFP. 2. Designing the fire alarm systems for each site based on the site specific scope of work. 3. Obtaining all required approvals from the Authorities Having Jurisdiction including the California Division of the State Architect, the local fire authority, and the District. 4. Demolishing and salvaging the existing fire alarm control units that are not Gamewell-FCI E3 control units and providing new E3 fire alarm control units at all sites. Salvaged components will be returned to the district. Legally dispose of removed items. 5. Demolishing and salvaging the existing fire alarm notification appliances and associated power supplies and equipment in selected buildings and providing a new Emergency Voice Alarm Communication System (EVACS) in those buildings that complies with current code. The term Notification modernization is used for this work. For buildings undergoing notification modernizations, the new audible systems are required to be an EVACS. Salvaged components will be returned to the district. Legally dispose of removed items. 6. Demolishing and salvaging the existing fire alarm initiating and control devices in selected buildings and providing new initiating and control devices in compliance with current code and which are compatible with the new E3 control units being installed during this project.

Connecting existing fire alarm initiating and control devices and notification appliances to the new E3 control units in buildings where the devices and appliances are not being replaced. 8. Reducing the quantity of transmitters to one monitored account for each site. Many of the sites currently consist of multiple transmitters and associated monitoring accounts. Each transmitting system must transmit discrete point ID information. Zone or other generalized information is not acceptable. 9. Providing all associated infrastructure conduits, fiber, cabling, etc., to support the fire alarm and EVACS work as needed to insure a complete, operational fire alarm system. 10. Providing all miscellaneous work required to deliver a complete project including, but not limited to, power connections, drywall, masonry, patching, painting, ceilings, insulation, trenching, and concrete and pavement patching. 11. Correcting specific device and appliance installation deficiencies in selected buildings. 12. Providing training for District Staff. 13. Providing fire watch during the course of Work. 14.

The DBE contract shall include testing, inspection, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, and annual certification for all Sites, starting upon commencement of the contract and ending upon conclusion of the warranty period. 16. From the start of construction on each site until Final Completion of the project, providing service and maintenance as needed to maintain fire alarm systems, including required annual testing and certifications. C. The information and scope for each site is organized as follows: 1. Existing Fire Alarm System: This section includes a brief description of the existing system configuration and interconnection at each site as well as the current fire alarm monitoring system. 2. Fire Alarm Base Scope: This section identifies the required work to be completed at each site under the base pricing, excluding alternates. 3. Correction Items: This section identifies the scope of work for the buildings where deficiencies are to be corrected. These items are not part of the base scope and are to be priced as Solicited Alternate pricing. 4. Scoping Matrix: A Scoping Matrix is provided for each site identifying buildings which have scope of work for this project. This is located in Appendix A. a.

The modernization of these systems is required to meet current code. b. An X in the Control unit Location column identifies the existing, known fire alarm control unit locations, excluding power supplies. The existing locations are provided for information only and are not intended to dictate control unit locations for this project. The location of new control units is a design element to be performed by the contractor. c. An SA in the Correction Items column identifies buildings where minor correction items are required and are to be priced as a solicited alternate. The number adjacent to the SA indicates the alternate number. The scope of the correction items are identified in this document under the respective school. Where correction item descriptions do not identify the locations of the correction items within the building, perform field survives as needed to identify the correction item locations. Include this cost as part of the additive alternate associated with that site. d. An X in the Connect Existing column identifies buildings where the existing devices and appliances are to be retained and connected to the new E3 control units. e. An X in the No Scope column identifies buildings that no work is required for modernizing the fire alarm system or performing correction items. The building is identified because it is currently on the campus but is scheduled for demolition, concurrent modernization or there are no existing fire alarm devices and none is required. f. The approximate gross building area is provided in the Estimated Area column. This information is provided for information, only. The contractor is responsible for verifying building area, when needed for design or pricing. D. Aerial maps of the existing schools with the building names are provided to identify the buildings located on each site. These are for reference, only. See Appendix B. E.
