3 <br />installation of sprinkler system modifications are to meet the requirements of NFPA 13 (2016) and the Washington <br />State Building Code (2018) as adopted by the City of Everett. <br />3.o General Fire Sprinkler System Project Requirements <br />The following notes are intended to provide minimum criteria for the fire sprinkler system modifications. <br />1. Design drawings shall be prepared by the contractor and shall demonstrate the configuration of major system <br />components including sprinkler piping and sprinkler locations. Drawings shall indicate the location of existing <br />sprinkler system equipment and where the existing system is to be connected with new sprinkler system <br />equipment. The sprinkler contractor shall field verify locations of all sprinklers and system piping shown on the <br />automatic sprinkler system record drawings provided separately as part of the project information (As -Built <br />drawings dated February 9, 1994, prepared by Smith Fire Systems, Inc). <br />2. The contractor shall prepare and submit shop drawings to the owner for approval prior to the start of any work. <br />If any changes are made to the location of sprinkler from those shown on the owner -approved shop drawings, <br />those changes shall be approved by the owner and identified in writing to the Everett Fire Department and <br />submitted for approval by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction. All changes shall be approved in writing prior <br />to installation. Any relocations or additional sprinklers required for compliance as a result of the changes shall <br />be furnished and installed at the expense of the contractor. <br />3. The contractor shall be responsible for verifying and installing a code compliant system regardless of whether <br />owner approval and/or Authority Having Jurisdiction approval is granted. <br />4. Refer to the Jensen Hughes hydraulic calculation memo and associated hydraulic calculations for water <br />supply information and conceptual design criteria based on the anticipated hazardous classification and use. <br />5. Accuracy of wall locations and dimensions shall be field verified by the contractor with regards to pipe routing <br />and proximity to obstructions. <br />6. The scope of work includes the modification of the existing sprinkler system to accommodate architectural, <br />temporary occupancy, and hazard classification changes due to the Connect UP project. The sprinkler <br />contractor shall be responsible for coordinating with new elements being added to the building as part of the <br />overall project such as new light fixtures, fixed elements, suspended ceilings, etc. <br />7. All sprinkler piping shall be secured using UL listed and FM approved (UL/FM) pipe hangers, anchors, seismic <br />bracing, and other approved means to properly secure the pipe. <br />8. All piping 1-inch through 2-inch shall be UL/FM ASTM A53, A135, or A795 or A795 schedule 40 with threaded <br />ends. <br />9. All wet -system piping 2%-inch and larger shall be UL/FM ASTM A53, A135, or A795 schedule 10 with rolled - <br />grooved ends. <br />10. The work includes all sprinklers, listed schedule 10 and 40 piping, hangers, seismic bracing, and other <br />associated components throughout the building related to the modification of the existing fire sprinkler system. <br />11. Where flexible sprinkler drops are used, the friction loss for the flexible sprinkler drop shall be provided by and <br />verified by the Contractor. <br />12. Sprinklers shall be installed in the symmetrical two foot by two foot center of ceiling tiles where applicable. <br />13. All additional materials, fittings, and other associated equipment required to provide a complete operational <br />system shall be shown on the contractor shop drawings. These fittings shall be incorporated into the finalized <br />hydraulic calculations. A 10 psi pressure cushion will be assumed in all hydraulic calculations, applied to the <br />static and residual pressure information provided by the City of Everett Public Works Department. <br />14. The work includes connection of water flow and valve supervisory switches to the fire alarm system. The <br />contractor shall be responsible to coordinate these wiring connections with a licensed fire alarm technician <br />and/or electrician. <br />15. The work includes coordination of all obstructions to new sprinkler piping. Obstructions include but are not <br />limited to emergency lighting, battery boxes, telecom equipment, and wiring. Sprinkler contractor is to <br />coordinate with the Architect and Owner, and the Connect UP architectural drawings prior to finalizing shop - <br />level sprinkler drawings. <br />16. The work includes related modifications of drain piping, inspector's test connections, drain valves, and piping <br />as necessary to complete the modification work. The drains shall be piped directly to the outside of the <br />building to an approved location by the Architect. <br />17. The work includes necessary modifications to the existing sprinkler zone control assemblies for each level of <br />the building(s). The control assemblies shall include an indicating control valve, riser check valve with trim, <br />Page 2 of 3 1 April 11, 2022 jensenhughes.com <br />
