#2 22.FA.002 - Ute Pass Cultural Center Fire Supression and HVAC Install

The City of Woodland Park is seeking competative bids for design and installation of a fire supression system, and installation of an HVAC system at the historic Ute Pass Cultural Center. The HVAC system has been designed and approved through Pikes Peak Regional Building department, and the fire suppression design needs to be designed around this approved design. The City is looking for a single, general contractor to design, install, take over and obtain all permits the complete install of this project in 2024.

Complete bid documents and plans are attached for the HVAC portion of the project.

Please see the following scope of work for the fire suppression portion of the project:

1) Provide an NFPA-13, most current Edition, NICET III design analysis, engineer review for an interior automatic fire sprinkler system design concept for the existing facility, local water flow test and site survey. Sprinkler system design will include protection of combustible concealed spaces as required by the most current edition of NFPA 13.

2) Include 100% AutoCAD and pdf drawings with riser diagram, pipe and head layout.

3) Provide support for preliminary and final design presentations.

4) Assumes water source by owner and must meet fire sprinkler system demands.

5) All civil utilities or fire line underground piping, excavation, cistern, fire hydrant main loop design will be designed by the City On Call Engineering firm and installed by City Contractor or City Crews. Coordination of the design will be required by selected firm.

6) Dept. of Public Works / Woodland Park is also looking to design an upgraded HVAC system in the same building/area. The selected fire suppression design firm will need to coordinate with the HVAC design team to develop plans in accordance with the HVAC design. 

7) The drawings indicate the facility has an existing fire alarm system throughout and a design analysis of the existing fire alarm system should be included in the fee. At a minimum this will include tying in new flow switches, tamper switches, and exterior horn/strobe to the existing fire alarm system. In addition, any new HVAC units over 2,000 CFM will have duct detectors that are required to be tied into the fire alarm system. All fire alarm work is to be performed per the latest edition of NFPA 72. Fire alarm contractor shall be licensed through PPRBD.

Access above exiting ceilings and within existing walls is going to be required for sprinkler and other MEP installations. Based on the age of the building cutting this access may involve abatement for lead or asbestos. The general contractor will need to carry a certain amount of money for cutting, patching, and re-painting these areas of access.
