This procedure and the appropriate interim measures should beimplemented as soon as fire/life safety systems are out of service. Where the fire/lifesafety system outage is planned due to construction and maintenance, execution ofthe procedures identified should be planned and initiated prior to the outage.INCLUDED F/LS FEATURES AND SYSTEMSF/LS features and systems are those facility components provided to protect thebuilding occupants, facility, NAS operational continuity, and ultimately the missionof the FAA from the hazards of fire and explosion. A partial listing of F/LS systemsand features, addressed by this procedure are provided below:Fire Alarm & DetectionFire SprinklersFire Standpipes & ValvesFire Suppression ReleasingFire Pumps & ControllersFire ExtinguishersElevator RecallAir Handling Unit ShutdownEmergency Security InterfacesSmoke ManagementFire & Smoke BarriersFire & Smoke Opening ProtectionFire & Smoke DampersFire & Smoke DoorsFirestopping & Joint ProtectionProtected & Unobstructed EgressEmergency LightingEgress MarkingPage 40 of 190

Potential stakeholdersmay include facility management and occupants, safety management team, firedepartment, resident engineer, contractors, and the central fire alarm monitoringstation.Initial communications for unplanned outages should be accomplished as soon aspossible and include documentation by memorandum, email, letter or signagepostings within the facility, in accordance with FAA policy.INTERIM MEASURES (PARTIAL LIST)1. Inform all facility occupants of the outage or partially functional F/LS feature anddiscuss its effect on daily and emergency operations. The facility Emergency ActionPlan should be reviewed to identify necessary modifications. The informationshould highlight the purpose and importance of the F/LS feature, the impact oneveryday operations, and the increased responsibility of all personnel.2. Evaluate the level of risk posed by the non-functioning or partially functioningfeature and the hazards present in the facility. Identify any areas that may have aspecific risk and may require a fire watch in order to provide appropriate protectionto the occupants. Appoint a “fire warden” to oversee implementation and evaluatethe effectiveness of the interim procedures. The local safety manager should beconsulted for long term, broad reaching or high impact outages. Additionally, FAAsafety professionals should be consulted when the proper interim measures areunclear.3. Conduct daily inspections to ensure the means of egress is not obstructed orcompromised. Confirm the egress is free of combustibles or storage of any kind.4. Ensure all doors opening into the stairs are checked to ensure door hardware isfunctioning properly. This includes a visual inspection of all doors to ensure theconstruction has not been compromised and checking all door hardware includinglatching hardware and self-closing devices to verify proper operation. Magnetic doorholders should be disconnected and not be returned to use until the fire alarm systemis functioning normally.5. Ensure that fire and smoke doors in the facility are not propped open for any reason.Page 41 of 190

Strictly enforcing "hot work", (e.g., welding, cutting, etc.)safety approvals or banning all hot work during F/LSoutagesg. Maintaining the storage of construction combustibles orflammable and combustible liquids outside of the facilityh. Strictly enforcing the daily clean up of constructionmaterials and excess dust7. Conduct biweekly testing and inspections of:a. Exit signageb. Exits for improper storage or obstructionsc. Exit stairs including treads, landings, and handrailsd. Exit illuminatione. Emergency lightingf. Housekeeping and fire prevention measures are in effect8. Post signage throughout the facility to indicate interim measures are in effect.9.

Coordinate transmittal of different types of submittals for related elements of theWork so processing will not be delayed by the need to review submittalsconcurrently for coordination.a. The CONTRACTING OFFICER reserves the right to withhold action on asubmittal requiring coordination with other submittals until all relatedsubmittals are received.3. Processing: To avoid the need to delay installation as a result of the time requiredto process submittals, allow sufficient time for submittal review, including timefor resubmittals.a. Allow 20 working days for initial review. Allow additional time if theCONTRACTING OFFICER must delay processing to permit coordinationwith subsequent submittals.b. If an intermediate submittal is necessary, process the same as the initialsubmittal.c. Allow 20 working days for reprocessing each submittal.d. No extension of Contract Time shall be authorized because of failure totransmit submittals to the CONTRACTING OFFICER sufficiently in advanceof the Work to permit processing.e. All submittals on the Contractor’s critical path or for project materialidentified as long lead time times (delivery time greater than six weeks) aredue 45 calendar days after contract award.f. Any submittal that has to be re-submitted more than two (2) times forreview, due to omissions, errors or failure to comply with the specificationsby the contractor, shall subject the prime contractor to a fee of sixty dollars($60.00) per hour for further review by the FAA or its representatives. Suchre-submittal shall not entitle the contractor to an extension of contract time.B. Submittal Preparation: Place a permanent label or title block on each submittal foridentification. Indicate the name of the Contractor that prepared each submittal on thelabel or title block.1. Provide a space approximately 4 by 5 inches on the label or beside the title blockon Shop Drawings to record the Contractor's review and approval markings andthe action taken.2.

Avoid obstructing access or placing conductorswhere they may be subjected to strain, impact, or damage.D. Equipment Enclosure Grounding: Bare wire, wrapped around connectingscrews or mounting bolts and screws is not acceptable as a groundingconnection. All ground lugs must be of a noncorrosive material suitable for useas a grounding connection, and must be compatible with the type of metal beinggrounded. Ground lugs must be mounted on clean, bare metal surfaces that arefree of paint, rust, etc.E. Raceway Grounding: Surface metal raceways, wireways, or cable rack systemsmust be installed in a manner that ensures electrical continuity, or short barecopper bonding jumpers must be installed between adjacent raceway sections toensure proper bonding. Unless otherwise indicated, the minimum size for thesebonding jumpers must be No. 6 AWG.F.
