I. Approved submittals shall remain on the site at all times MIGRATION SEQUENCE AND PLAN A. Pre-Migration 1. Since the DEN Complex must remain open to the public at all times (24/7/365), special obligations are required of the installing contractor to keep a functional fire alarm system operational throughout the migration process. Thus, it has been determined that a priority of migration events are to be followed and certain migration elements shall be done in very limited timeframes. 2. Prior to migration of any devices, the following items shall have occurred: a. Simplex Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) nodes building-wide shall be installed, operational, and connected/communicating with the Simplex Network. b. DFD alarm notification via the AES Transceiver connected to the Concourse B Simplex node shall be operational at all times. Disabling of the transmission of alarm signals shall occur during each work shift where the system is impaired

18 c. The primary means of emergency audible notification has been transferred to the Emergency Communication System (ECS) via the Simplex System workstations and the Simplex system is programmed with Pre-signal operation. 3. As allowed by DBC Section Exception 2, the existing and new fire alarm control panels are co-located in the Fire Command Center of the Concourse B and will require two points of reset during migration. 4. As of Bid Date, all pre-migration steps have been completed. B. Migration 1. After the pre-migration items are operational, the following migration sequence shall be followed: Phase Description Requirements Phase 1 Phase 2A Phase 2B Install all major fire alarm risers (i.e. new conduit) as indicated on the drawings. Install Fire Alarm Terminal Cabinets and Fire Alarm Remote Transponder Panels where indicated on the drawings. Migration of all fire sprinkler water flow and valve tamper switch monitoring building wide. Migration of all major smoke control fan control and monitor points building wide for the large public smoke control zone fans. These large public area smoke control zone fans are normally roof mounted and are configured to allow smoke control of the primary public areas. Individual tenant smoke control zone equipment and basement zones will be migrated as a part of the later phase. Requires Contractor to install all new conduits for vertical risers (including horizontal conduit required to reach vertical riser locations) on all floors as well as conduit required to reach all Phase 2 device locations. Requires Contractor to provide new conduit and Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) wiring to all fire sprinkler monitored devices first. Once SLC wiring is located at each fire sprinkler device location, the required fire alarm devices can be installed, programmed, and pre-tested for correct function. Then, all fire sprinkler monitored devices can be migrated in a few work shifts within a two week period for Concourse B. Requires Contractor to provide new conduit and Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) wiring to all major smoke control devices (specifically smoke zones WHR3, WSC2, WHR2, WSC1, WHR1, CC, EHR1, ESC1, EHR2, ESC2, EHR3, RJSB, RJSH). Once SLC wiring is located at each smoke control device location, the required fire alarm devices can be installed, programmed, and pre-tested for correct function. Then, all smoke control devices can be migrated in a few work shifts within a two week period for Concourse B. Please note that while it is desirable to migrate both control and monitor points simultaneously, existing wiring and conduit configurations may prevent the migration of status monitoring points at the same time as control points are migrated. If status monitoring points are not migrated during Phase 2B, such points shall be prioritized for migration during Phase

19 Phase 3 Migrate by building area/floor/node all fire alarm initiating devices (manual pull stations, smoke detectors, heat detectors, etc.), control and monitor devices, notification appliances (strobes and horns), and any third-party suppression panels in the building. It is suggested that the general migration order proceed from West to East and work be completed within a Node prior to moving on to the next Node, unless Nodes can be completed simultaneously. Requires Contractor to proceed with a timely migration of all initiating devices and notification appliances by building floor/area. In general compliance with DBC Section Exception 3, migration within each building floor/area shall be completed prior to commencement of work on any other floor/area unless the contractor can complete multiple floors/areas simultaneously. Given the size of the floors in Concourse B, logical sub-division of floors for migration purposes shall be allowed; for example Far West Hold Room, West In-Board Sub-Core, etc. To provide clear limitations on migrated area, work areas at any given time shall not exceed 52,000 square feet in size in a given panel zone. Note that as multiple crews may be working on multiple panels, more than one area of Concourse B may be migrated at the same time with proper coordination of events with the system vendor and approved DEN shutdown authorization. 2. In compliance with DBC Section (Systems out of service) and Exception 6, no fire sprinkler or smoke control device shall be unconnected to either the existing EST fire alarm system or the new Simplex fire alarm system except for the actual time it takes to migrate that device from one system to the other system. This rule prohibits a device from being left unconnected/unmonitored at the end of a work shift. Exceptions to this rule require special notification to DEN/DFD personnel and may require fire watch procedures by the Contractor. See also Article 3.6.C Per DFD requirements, device migration is limited to a 10-hour shut-down period within each 24-hour calendar day. C. Contractor Migration Plan 1. The installing contractor shall be responsible for the creation of and submission the Owner (DEN) of a detailed Migration Plan within 30 days of NTP. It shall capture the intent of any applicable Administrative Modifications, DBC Section , the project specifications, and the design drawings by showing the detailed milestones required by the project including, but not limited to, the following: a. Phase 1: Installation of vertical risers, remote transponder panels, and major new conduit and wiring installation to be run prior to any device migration. b. Phase 2A & 2B: Fire sprinkler device and major smoke control device migration. c. Phase 3: Building area/zone/floor conduit, wire, and device installation/migration by logical group. 2. The Migration Plan shall include a detailed construction schedule with all significant milestones identified. The construction schedule shall detail the use of alternate shifts in spaces where day shift installation/migration is not possible or would be significantly hindered, including baggage tunnel ramps, train platforms, tenant spaces, airline clubs,

20 public elevators, and similar spaces. The installing Contractor in coordination with DEN shall develop a detailed Migration Plan Checklist showing migration activity which will occur during each 24 hour migration period. The Migration Plan Checklist shall be submitted and reviewed in weekly construction meetings. All construction schedules shall be in a format acceptable to DEN construction management. 3. The Migration Plan shall include testing milestones where appropriate. The following testing milestones are to be provided at a minimum: a.

Sequence Test (programmed sequence of operation test conducted by Contractor and vendor) d. Demonstration Test (operation and sequence test conducted by Contractor and vendor and witnessed by Engineer of Record) e. DFD Proof Test (operation and sequence test conducted by Contractor and vendor and witnessed by Owner) 4. In many cases, the migration of a device to the Simplex system will mean the former EST system device will be de-commissioned. The installing Contractor is responsible for coordinating a daily (per-shift) list with DEN regarding the devices that are migrated (on-line) and de-commissioned (removed from service) ENGINEERED SHOP DRAWINGS A.

The wire installed shall not exceed 35 pf/ft. and shall have a minimum of 4 twists per foot. These wiring guidelines allow for a distance of 3600ft to the furthest device on a channel with a maximum of 250 devices, and an overall wire length of 10,000 ft. No SLC channel shall exceed.60 uf total capacitance and 35 Ohms resistance. Any conduit that is used for multiple circuit types along with 1 or more SLC channels shall conform to Table 19-1 shown below. O. Wiring requirements for mixed circuits in conduit or closely bundled: The below Table 19-1 shows when shielded wire must be used when mixed circuits are installed in conduit or are bundled closely together. To use the table, select the signal in the leftmost column and compare it to the cell that corresponds to the signal being mixed in the top row. STP = Shielded Twisted Pair; UTP = Unshielded Twisted Pair

45 1. Table 19-1 is from Tyco Fire Protection Products document Simplex ES Alarm Panels Wiring and Hook-Up Options Overview, document number , Revision N, Revision Date 7 April This document is subject to change and shall be obtained from SimplexGrinnell. To clarify Table 19-1, note 1, When STP shows as being required for two different circuits being evaluated and both circuits show STP needed, only one of the two needs to use STP. Multiple circuits of IDNAC or TAA or SmartSync or RP (DC) NACs may be grouped together and counted as one circuit. P. Circuits in the same conduit are limited as follows: 1. Unless approved in writing by the Engineer and Owner, wiring for conventional NAC (non-addressable) and SLC (IDNet) Circuits shall not be routed in the same conduit. 2. SLC circuits and 24 volt power from a fire alarm control panel may be routed in the same conduit. A maximum of 5 amps of 24 volt power shall be in the same conduit with SLC circuits. 3. No DC inductive loads greater than 5 amps 30VDC, or any AC voltage wiring, shall share the same conduit as an SLC circuit at any time. 4. RUI Communication shall always be shielded wiring if run in the same conduit (or closely bundled) with IDNet (SLC) or IDNac (addressable NAC) wiring
