June 99
Normal office equipment will be concentrated in the Operations Center
and also distributed throughout the General Office.
Tele communications/ADP
Each workstation requires two network cables and one voice line
terminators in a triplex phone jack. The computer system will have a hub
in each building and computers will be networked.
HVAC
The type and number of HVAC systems shall depend on the
configuration and size of the cemetery building. Evaluate a gas and/or oil
system for all facilities. If gas or oil is not available, evaluate a factory
fabricated self-contained, direct expansion (DX) cooling unit with electric
resistance heat or an air-to-air heat pump (for locations with a minimum
2C (35F) winter outdoor temperature. Depending upon the available
space and building layout, the unit shall be a single piece or a split system
configuration. For relatively larger facilities, evaluate the use of a hot water
heating system (with natural gas and/or No. 2 oil as the fuel) and a chilled
water cooling system (with air-cooled chillers).
Provide a dedicated heating and ventilating unit for the vehicle
maintenance section of the maintenance facility to supply at least 8 air
changes per hour. A corresponding exhaust system shall also be
provided for exhausting all air to the outdoors.
Design the smoke control for the HVAC systems in accordance with
NFPA 90A to effect system shutdown in the event of smoke detention.
Smoke detectors shall be mounted in the main supply ducts and upon
smoke detection shall stop the supply air fan and sound an alarm.
Drainage/Oil/Water Separator
The requirements for drainage/oil/water separator vary greatly from
state to state. Systems will be designed in accordance with the
authorities having jurisdiction.
Fuel Tanks and Pumps
NCA uses above ground fuel storage tanks and dispensing system. A
divided tank is required, one tank for unleaded and one for diesel fuel, with
mounting pad and electrical service for the pumps. These are available
on Federal Supply Schedule for purchase and installation by the
contractor.
