Construction Documents <br />20033 <br />Orange County Europa Center <br />21 1000 - 2 WATER-BASED <br />FIRE-SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS <br />i.Total Combined Hose-Stream Demand Requirement: According to NFPA 13, unless <br />otherwise indicated: <br />1)Ordinary-Hazard Occupancies: 250 gpm for 60 to 90 minutes. <br />2)Light-Hazard Occupancies: 100 gpm for 30 minutes. <br />D.Seismic Performance: Fire-suppression piping shall be capable of withstanding the effects of <br />earthquake motions determined according to NFPA 13 and International Building Code and <br />Section 210548 - Vibration and seismic controls for fire-suppression piping and equipment. <br />E.Fire-suppression sprinkler system design shall comply with procedures outlined in NFPA 13. <br />The sprinkler contractor must submit “working plans” and hydraulic calculations to Progressive <br />Design Collaborative for review, prior to any fabrication or installation work. No fabrication and <br />or installation shall begin without approved submittals from Progressive Design Collaborative. <br />F.Allow 10% psi cushion between the water supply and demand. Calculations start at the water <br />main connection at the street and must include the backflow preventer and all valves and <br />fittings. Use proper hose stream allowance. Limit water velocity to 25fps, except use 18fps for <br />any segment with a vane type waterflow switch (to comply with UL listing). <br />1.06 SUBMITTALS <br />A.Product Data: Generic submittal not allowed. Provide data sheets from manufacturer of <br />material for the following: <br />1.Piping materials, including dielectric fittings, flexible connections, and sprinkler specialty <br />fittings. <br />2.Pipe hangers and supports, including seismic restraints. <br />3.Valves, including listed fire-protection valves, unlisted general-duty valves, and specialty <br />valves and trim. <br />4.Sprinklers, escutcheons, and guards. Include sprinkler flow characteristics, mounting, <br />finish, and other pertinent data. <br />5.Hose connections, including size, type, and finish. <br />6.Alarm devices, including electrical data. <br />B.Shop Drawings: Diagram power, signal, and control wiring. <br />C.Fire Protection Contractor to provide his/her own water flow test for use in their Hydraulic <br />Calculations <br />D.Approved Sprinkler Piping Drawings: Working plans, prepared according to NFPA 13 that have <br />been approved by authorities having jurisdiction, including hydraulic calculations, if applicable. <br />1.The sprinkler contractor must submit working shop drawings, hydraulic calculations and <br />product data to Engineer of record for review, prior to any fabrication or installation work. <br />Shop drawings shall include and be in accordance with working plan requirements of <br />Chapter 22 of NFPA 13. Product data shall include and clearly identify all material, <br />equipment, and accessory selections to be installed. The hydraulic calculations and shop <br />drawings shall be signed by the fire sprinkler designer and include the NC Fire Sprinkler <br />Contractor (FS) license number. <br />a.After their review and acceptance by the Engineer of record, the fire protection <br />contractor shall forward one (1) copy of the shop drawings, hydraulic calculations and <br />material submittals to the (NC State Construction Office or NCDOI and/or Local <br />Authority having Jurisdiction) for their review and comment. <br />b.Once all comments are resolved and approved by the reviewing agency, an approval <br />letter releasing this part of the project to enter into construction will be sent to the <br />Engineer of Record. No fabrication and or installation shall begin without approved <br />submittals from the Engineer of Record and the proper Reviewing Agency. <br />E.Field Test Reports and Certificates: Indicate and interpret test results for compliance with <br />performance requirements and as described in NFPA 13 and NFPA 14. Include "Contractor's <br />Material and Test Certificate for Above-ground Piping" and "Contractor's Material and Test <br />Certificate for Underground Piping." <br />F.Welding certificates. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: ECCAC5A0-6CC8-4B37-8AD3-89D69F0AE1AE
