3.1. Consultation and review of fire protection and life safety requirements
as addressed in the VA Fire Protection Design Manual.
3.2 Preparation of fire protection and life safety design (narrative) analysis
report as required by VA Handbook PG-18-15 which addresses project
compliance with all applicable requirements.
3.3. Preparation of fire protection drawings when required by VA Handbook
PG-18-15.
3.4 Design of fire alarm and sprinkler systems.
3.5
Review of architectural, electrical, HVAC, plumbing drawings and
related documentation during schematics, design development, and
construction documents to ensure all fire protection requirements are
coordination between disciplines.
3.6. Attending meetings with the A/E, VA facility and VA Headquarters to
discuss the project during schematic, design development and
construction document preparation phases.
3.7. Performance of field tests and site visits during the design process to
verify the current capacity (flow and pressure) of water supply system
based on flow testing of hydrants proximate to the building(s) where
automatic sprinkler protection is to be installed, which include
allowances for seasonal or daily fluctuations, industrial use demands,
and future changes. Documentation shall include a flow curve on
hydraulic graph paper.
Note: Consult with public water supply authorities.
Flow tests are not necessary if credible tests
have been performed and documented within
the past 12 months, and it is verified that
neither VA facility or municipal demands will
change in the near future.
3.8. Review of fire protection system shop drawings, technical data
submitted by contractors and automatic sprinkler system hydraulic
calculations for compliance with contract documents.
3.9. Interim inspections of job site to verify adequacy of fire protection
system installation .
4.0. Witnessing final acceptance tests for newly installed fire protection
systems.
4.1 Review the Fire protection system As-Built drawings prepared by the
contractor. Review and approve fire protection maintenance manuals.
