SCOPE OF SERVICES
1.1
General Scope
1.1.1
Review the available design documents and any previous or historical code
studies to become familiar with the scope of the proposed project.
Visit the site to understand the condition of existing exit system and fire
protection / life safety systems, and document the findings in a letter report.
Perform research and prepare a fire protection and life safety concept analysis
that will document major fire protection and life safety criteria regarding the
items listed below related to the relevant codes:
a. Construction type
b. Requirement for automatic sprinklers
c. Requirement for standpipe system
d. Requirement for fire alarm/detection systems
e. Requirement for occupancy separation
f. Exit system criteria
g. Interior finish criteria
h. Emergency lighting requirements
i. Mechanical and electrical system features specifically related to fire
protection such as fire dampers, smoke control and elevator recall and
hoistway venting
j. Safety glazing criteria
The concept analysis should identify requirements which require clarification or
can be approached utilizing an equivalency concept which will achieve equal or
greater or superior life safety for the project as intended by the adopted codes
while obtaining greater flexibility or cost savings for the project.
Upon preparation of the concept analysis, meet with Westfield, LLC and the
design team to confirm that the proposed fire protection concepts are compatible
with the needs of the project.
Revise the concept analysis if necessary and prepare graphic material which aids
in illustrating the proposed fire protection concepts. The final presentation should
be suitable for reference by the design team in development of construction
documents and suitable for presentation to the authority having jurisdiction to
solicit approval of the proposed concepts.
Meet with representatives of the approving authority in conjunction with the
project team to present and solicit approval of the proposed fire protection
concepts.
