Instructions To Consultants And Contractors 00200 - Page 1 of 1

INSTRUCTIONS TO CONSULTANTS AND CONTRACTORS SECTION 00200 DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA STANDARDS These criteria standards have been assembled to provide design consultants (Architect/Engineers) and construction and/or installation Contractors with certain requirements that are to be incorporated into the design and construction of capital projects for Broward Community College (College). The purpose of these criteria standards is threefold:

• To provide for uniformity in the College's building systems in order to facilitate stocking of repair parts and the timely response to maintenance problems

• To effect reliable, cost-effective building systems that will maintain maintenance costs at reasonable levels, and interruptions to the College's academic operations

• To reinforce compliance with applicable laws, Codes, and regulations With few exceptions, these criteria standards are not proprietary. Where criteria standards are proprietary, it is because the College's Board of Trustees has approved such limits on competition as being in the long-term best interest of the College as permitted under Florida Statutes. THE CRITERIA STANDARDS INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE MANDATORY AND SHALL BE INCLUDED IN ALL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS TO THE EXTENT THEY ARE APPLICABLE. The criteria standards, however, are not guide specifications and should not be used as such. The College has developed guide specifications for the following selected building systems:

• Finish Hardware • Exterior Painting • Elastomeric Coating System • Quality Control for Electrical Work • Transient Voltage Surge Suppression System • Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Lightning Protection • Security Alarm System • Fire Alarm System • Energy Management System • Centrifugal Chillers • Mechanical Systems Test & Balance • Urethane Pipe Insulation

Consultants can obtain copies of these documents by requesting them from the College's Project Manager.

Security Alarm System 13700 - Page 1 of 2

SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION SECTION 13000 SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM - 13710 A. System Overview: A wireless security alarm system (i.e. System) that provides a linkage to

the campus security Motorola UHF radio communications system for notification of alarms. The System shall communicate with battery powered wireless AID's (alarm initiating de-vices) without any hard wiring.

B. System Salient Features: The following features are a "must". Any deviations must be ap-

proved by the College's Project Manager prior to the commencement of construction docu-ments.

1. System Function: Upon alarm initiation the System will wait for an open frequency.

When the frequency opens, or if already open, the System will capture the frequency and transmit a predetermined message. The message will include the type of alarm (i.e., personal panic button, fixed panic button, break-glass, door open, etc.) and the lo-cation on the campus (i.e., Criminal Justice Institute Building 22, Bookstore Building 18, etc.). The System will send the message periodically at preset intervals that are adjust-able from one (1) second to 180 seconds. Upon completion of the transmission the Sys-tem will release the frequency to allow other transmissions on the frequency, and will again seek an open frequency. When the frequency opens, or if already open, the Sys-tem will capture the frequency again and transmit the above noted predetermined mes-sage.

2. System Supervision: The System will provide fully supervised radio links with the AID's. Each device transmitter will report its condition to the System control every 10, 30, and 60 seconds. If a transmission is not received from an AID, the control will initiate a trou-ble indication on the controller keypad or indicate a low battery on the alphanumeric dis-play. The System shall be provided with non-volatile memory on all transmitters to pre-vent memory loss upon battery depletion or removal.

3. System Control: Will communicate with the AID's using 900 MHz spread-spectrum technology to provide superior range.

MECHANICAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS SECTION 15000 GENERAL A. Design Approach: Incorporate life-cycle considerations and a holistic approach with re-

spect to energy conservation. Avoid over-designing of systems.

1. Energy Conservation: Refer to State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) concerning heat recovery and thermal storage. The College wishes to maximize of all feasible energy conservation measures. Consult with local electric utility and provide current program information to the College for consideration for each project.

B. Related Work: All Mechanical work to be performed shall be reflected in Division-15 specifi-

cations and/or on the Mechanical Drawings. Any required mechanical work related to other Divisions of the specifications shall be shown on the Mechanical Drawings and specified in Division-15.

C. Existing Drawings: Drawings of existing facilities and underground utilities or systems may

not be accurate and shall be considered as informational only. Architect/Engineer shall ver-ify field conditions applicable to the Project design to the extent existing conditions are not concealed.

DESIGN A. Drawings: Include plans, elevations, sections, and detail drawings to fully show the extent,

nature and requirements of mechanical work.

1. Plan notations identifying rooms and their usage, and locations for ducts and accesso-ries, piping and accessories, and equipment and accessories are required.

2. Descriptive Notations: Use on the Drawings in preference to symbols. 3. Floor Plans and Site Plans: Show all ducts, piping and equipment properly located and

drawn to scale. 4. Renovation Work: Determine where structural limitations will permit component installa-

tion and indicate those locations on the Drawings with accurate dimensions. 5. New Construction: Coordinate component installation and locations with other design

disciplines. 6. Maintenance Access: Show coil pull, filter pull and motor access areas for all air-

handling units. 7. Service Piping: Show all chilled water piping with insulation on a 3/8"=1'-0" scale plan
