Watervliet Arsenal Fire Suppression for Multiple Manufacturing Buildings

The proposed project is for the Watervliet Arsenal Fire Suppression for Multiple Manufacturing Buildings Description of project: Proposed project will include the following: This project will construct a Fire Suppression System for a total of five (5) manufacturing Buildings so that each is code compliant with respect to Fire Protection Standards. The buildings are located on the Watervliet Arsenal (WVA), New York in Watervliet, NY. The five buildings and their respective type of fire suppression system(s) to be constructed are listed as follows: Building 20- Wet Pipe Sprinkler System and Dry Pipe Sprinkler System Building 121- Wet Pipe Sprinkler System Building 122- Wet Pipe Sprinkler System Building 133-Dry Pipe Sprinkler System Building 136- Wet Pipe Sprinkler System and Dry Pipe Sprinkler System The elements of work that will be required for each Building are Earthwork, Water Utility Distribution Exterior and Interior Piping, Thermal and Moisture Protections, Finishes, Electrical Distribution and Lighting Interior and Exterior, Fire Detection and Alarm System, and existing hazardous building materials (asbestos, lead base paint, etc.) Remediation. Buildings 20, 133, and 136 will have additional elements of work to include the Mechanical and Electrical components for the operation of an Air Compressed Piping Assembly associated with a Dry Pipe Fire Suppression System. Building 20 will have a different elements of work as required for Acoustical Ceilings. The Buildings vary in area, height, and use as follows: Building 20- Approximately 106,632 SF, two story, Major Components Manufacturing Facility Building 121- Approximately 6,139 SF, single story, Research & Engineering Laboratory Building 122- Approximately 1,580 SF, single story, Research & Engineering Laboratory Building 133- Approximately 7,642 SF, single story, Non Hazardous Storage Building 136- Approximately 26,952 SF, single story with basement, Boiler Plant WVA Operations will take precedent over contract work at all times. Special provisions to construction schedule and contract work will need to be made on a case by case basis and coordinated on a daily and/or weekly basis with Building Owners and Operators as to keep WVA operations fully functional at all times. Special provisions will vary dependent on each Building and may include but not limited to second or third shift work, Indoor Personnel Operated Industrial Manufacturing Environments, Escort Requirements, working in close proximity to Moving Heavy Machinery, working in an changing environment with respect to location of equipment and or storage items ranging from large to small, frequent de-mobilization and mobilization prior to work completion, Outdoor Industrial Military Installation Environments, Fall Protection required areas, and Boiler Plant conditions to include working in High Temperatures. 100% Design Drawings and Specifications will include Plan Drawings and Documents describing the Phasing Requirements for each Building.
