queued in the order received and do not affect existing alarm conditions. Priority Two,

Supervisory and Trouble events have second-, third-, and fourth-level priority,

respectively. Signals of a higher-level priority take precedence over signals of lower

priority even though the lower-priority condition occurred first. Annunciate all events

regardless of priority or order received.

2. Non-interfering: An event on one zone does not prevent the receipt of signals from any

other zone. All zones are manually resettable from the FACP after the initiating device or

devices are restored to normal. The activation of an addressable device does not prevent

the receipt of signals from subsequent addressable device activations.

1.12 MIGRATION SEQUENCE AND PLAN

A. Pre-Migration

1. Since the DEN Complex must remain open to the public at all times (24/7/365), special

obligations are required of the installing contractor to keep a functional fire alarm system

operational throughout the migration process. Thus, it has been determined that a

priority of migration events are to be followed and certain migration elements shall be

done in very limited timeframes.

2. Prior to migration of any devices, the following items shall have occurred:

a. Simplex Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) nodes building-wide shall be installed,

operational, and connected/communicating with the Simplex Network.

b. DFD alarm notification via the AES Transceiver connected to the Concourse B

Simplex node shall be operational at all times. Disabling of the transmission of

alarm signals shall occur during each work shift where the system is impaired.





283100 - 17

08 JAN 2016

c. The primary means of emergency audible notification has been transferred to the

Emergency Communication System (ECS) via the Simplex System workstations

and the Simplex system is programmed with Pre-signal operation.

3. As allowed by DBC Section 907.1.6 Exception 2, the existing and new fire alarm control

panels are co-located in the Fire Command Center of the Concourse B and will require

two points of reset during migration.

4. As of Bid Date, all pre-migration steps have been completed.

B. Migration

1. After the pre-migration items are operational, the following migration sequence shall be

followed:

Phase Description Requirements

Phase 1

Install all major fire alarm risers

(i.e. new conduit) as indicated on

the drawings. Install Fire Alarm

Terminal Cabinets and Fire Alarm

Remote Transponder Panels where

indicated on the drawings.

Requires Contractor to install all new conduits for

vertical risers (including horizontal conduit

required to reach vertical riser locations) on all

floors as well as conduit required to reach all Phase

2 device locations.

Phase

2A

Migration of all fire sprinkler

water flow and valve tamper

switch monitoring building wide.

Requires Contractor to provide new conduit and

Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) wiring to all fire

sprinkler monitored devices first. Once SLC

wiring is located at each fire sprinkler device

location, the required fire alarm devices can be

installed, programmed, and pre-tested for correct

function. Then, all fire sprinkler monitored

devices can be migrated in a few work shifts

within a two week period for Concourse B.

Phase

2B

Migration of all major smoke

control fan control and monitor

points building wide for the large

public smoke control zone fans.

These large public area smoke

control zone fans are normally

roof mounted and are configured

to allow smoke control of the

primary public areas. Individual

tenant smoke control zone

equipment and basement zones

will be migrated as a part of the

later phase.

Requires Contractor to provide new conduit and

Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) wiring to all major

smoke control devices (specifically smoke zones

WHR3, WSC2, WHR2, WSC1, WHR1, CC,

EHR1, ESC1, EHR2, ESC2, EHR3, RJSB, RJSH).

Once SLC wiring is located at each smoke control

device location, the required fire alarm devices can

be installed, programmed, and pre-tested for

correct function. Then, all smoke control devices

can be migrated in a few work shifts within a two

week period for Concourse B. Please note that

while it is desirable to migrate both control and

monitor points simultaneously, existing wiring and

conduit configurations may prevent the migration

of status monitoring points at the same time as

control points are migrated. If status monitoring

points are not migrated during Phase 2B, such

points shall be prioritized for migration during

Phase 3.





283100 - 18

08 JAN 2016

Phase 3

Migrate by building

area/floor/node all fire alarm

initiating devices (manual pull

stations, smoke detectors, heat

detectors, etc.), control and

monitor devices, notification

appliances (strobes and horns),

and any third-party suppression

panels in the building. It is

suggested that the general

migration order proceed from

West to East and work be

completed within a Node prior to

moving on to the next Node,

unless Nodes can be completed

simultaneously.

Requires Contractor to proceed with a timely

migration of all initiating devices and notification

appliances by building floor/area. In general

compliance with DBC Section 907.1.6 Exception

3, migration within each building floor/area shall

be completed prior to commencement of work on

any other floor/area unless the contractor can

complete multiple floors/areas simultaneously.

Given the size of the floors in Concourse B, logical

sub-division of floors for migration purposes shall

be allowed; for example “Far West Hold Room”,

“West In-Board Sub-Core”, etc. To provide clear

limitations on migrated area, work areas at any

given time shall not exceed 52,000 square feet in

size in a given panel zone. Note that as multiple

crews may be working on multiple panels, more

than one area of Concourse B may be migrated at

the same time with proper coordination of events

with the system vendor and approved DEN shut-

down authorization.

2. In compliance with DBC Section 907.1.6 (Systems out of service) and Exception 6, no

fire sprinkler or smoke control device shall be unconnected to either the existing EST fire

alarm system or the new Simplex fire alarm system except for the actual time it takes to

migrate that device from one system to the other system. This rule prohibits a device

from being left unconnected/unmonitored at the end of a work shift. Exceptions to this

rule require special notification to DEN/DFD personnel and may require fire watch

procedures by the Contractor. See also Article 3.6.C.2.

3. Per DFD requirements, device migration is limited to a 10-hour shut-down period within

each 24-hour calendar day.

C. Contractor Migration Plan

1. The installing contractor shall be responsible for the creation of and submission the

Owner (DEN) of a detailed Migration Plan within 30 days of NTP. It shall capture the

intent of any applicable Administrative Modifications, DBC Section 907.1.6, the project

specifications, and the design drawings by showing the detailed milestones required by

the project including, but not limited to, the following:

a. Phase 1: Installation of vertical risers, remote transponder panels, and major new

conduit and wiring installation to be run prior to any device migration.

b. Phase 2A & 2B: Fire sprinkler device and major smoke control device migration.

c. Phase 3: Building area/zone/floor conduit, wire, and device installation/migration

by logical group.

2. The Migration Plan shall include a detailed construction schedule with all significant

milestones identified. The construction schedule shall detail the use of alternate shifts in

spaces where day shift installation/migration is not possible or would be significantly

hindered, including baggage tunnel ramps, train platforms, tenant spaces, airline clubs,





283100 - 19

08 JAN 2016

public elevators, and similar spaces. The installing Contractor in coordination with DEN

shall develop a detailed Migration Plan Checklist showing migration activity which will

occur during each 24 hour migration period. The Migration Plan Checklist shall be

submitted and reviewed in weekly construction meetings. All construction schedules

shall be in a format acceptable to DEN construction management.

3. The Migration Plan shall include testing milestones where appropriate. The following

testing milestones are to be provided at a minimum:

a. Pre-Test (wire and device installation by installing Contractor)

b. Migration Test (immediate post-migration device test by installing contractor and

vendor)

c. Sequence Test (programmed sequence of operation test conducted by Contractor

and vendor)

d. Demonstration Test (operation and sequence test conducted by Contractor and

vendor and witnessed by Engineer of Record)

e. DFD Proof Test (operation and sequence test conducted by Contractor and vendor

and witnessed by Owner)

4. In many cases, the migration of a device to the Simplex system will mean the former EST

system device will be de-commissioned. The installing Contractor is responsible for

coordinating a daily (per-shift) list with DEN regarding the devices that are migrated

(on-line) and de-commissioned (removed from service).
