construction of items of special mechanical systems and equipment.
11.2.7.3 A description of the proposed control system.
11.2.7.4 Description, approximate capacity and location of any special mechanical equipment such as
11.2.8 Electronic Systems: Electronic Systems responsibilities include the following:
Fire Alarm System
Fire Suppression System Control
Public Address System
Telephone System
Cable Television System
Special Grounding Systems
Cathodic Protection
Intrusion Detection, Card Access System
Central Control and Monitoring System
11.2.8.1 The design analysis shall include all calculations required to support design decisions and
estimates at this stage of design. The analysis shall include specific criteria furnished, conference
minutes and cost analyses of all systems considered.
11.2.8.2 Design of the fire alarm system shall include layout drawings for all devices and a riser
other systems (HVAC, sprinkler, etc.).
11.2.8.3 Specify all components of the Fire Suppression (FS) System in the FS section of the
specifications. Provide a clear description of how the system will operate and interact with other
systems such as the fire alarm system. Include a riser diagram on the drawings showing principal
components and interconnections with other systems. Include FS system components on drawing
legend. All components shown of floor plans shall be designated as FS system components (as
opposed to Fire Alarm components). Show the location of FS control panels, HVAC control devices,
sensors, and 120V power panel connections on the floor plans. Indicate zoning of areas by numbers
(1, 2, 3) and detectors subzoned for cross zoning by letter designations (A and B). Differentiate
between ceiling mounted and underfloor detectors with distinct symbols and indicate subzone of each.
11.2.8.4 Show location of telephone outlets (including pay phones) on the plans. Include legend and
symbol definition to indicate height above finished floor. Show Telephone Conduit System Riser
Diagram. Size conduit on Riser Diagram. Do not show conduit runs between backboard and outlets
on the floor plans. Underground telephone distribution conduit shall be shown on either the electrical
or electronic site plan.
11.2.8.5 Grounding System. The specifications and drawings shall completely reflect all of the design
requirements. The specifications shall require field tests (in the construction phase), witnessed by the
Contracting Officer, to determine the effectiveness of the grounding system. The design shall include
drawings showing existing construction. Verification of the validity of any existing drawings and/or any
other data furnished by the Government shall be the responsibility of the engineering services firm.
11.2.8.6 Provide a statement describing the extent of any exterior work such as telephone lines, duct
banks, etc., outside of 5 feet from the building line.
11.2.8.7 Provide the name of the licensed corrosion engineer or NACE specialist. Provide the
following for cathodic protection systems:
Clearly define areas of structures or components in soil or water to be protected.
