6. ESTIMATING
Submit a construction cost estimate in compliance with the Manual for Preparation
of Estimates. Incorporate review comments from the previous review into the estimate.
Include at least the following:
a. Level "B" Summary Sheets: For each building and sitework in detain. Separate
estimates for new construction and alteration work;
b. Building gross area computations for new construction and alteration work;
c. Project Data Sheet 1; and
d. Local Market Survey
7. EQUIPMENT
No submission is required.
8. FIRE PROTECTION
a. Use VA standard symbols, indicate sprinkler, fire alarm, and smoke zones at a
legible scale that will show an entire floor per drawing, if possible. Also indicate
existing areas that are completely sprinklered, location of building water supply,
interior sprinkler supply lines, standpipes, fire extinguisher cabinets, exit paths from
each zone, distances to the stair, and the occupancy of each area. Show fire
proofing of structural members where applicable. Submit exit calculations for each
floor which justify the number of exits provided.
b. Survey the existing fire alarm system in the building to be modernized and/or the
base loop system to which the new construction will interface. Determine type,
features, age, reliability, compliance with present day codes, capacity, zoning,
supervision, control panel and power supplies, initiating devices and circuits, and
auxiliary functions for existing fire alarm system. Indicate manufacturer, model
number, voltage, and wiring style of existing alarm systems and devices. Provide
recommendations for the proposed fire alarm work.
c. Provide narrative for building construction, building fire and smoke separation,
fire sprinkler/standpipe systems, size of fire pumps (if required), water supply
available/maximum demand, water flow testing results, fire alarm systems, and
kitchen extinguishing systems. Include calculations where required. Indicate NFPA
220 and UBC fire resistive rating of the building, NFPA 101 occupancy type, and
fire protection code analysis to access compliance with NFPA 101.
