II.2.4) Description of the procurement
A bidder may bid for one or both lots, however, each submission for each lot is standalone and a full separate response is required for each lot to be compliant.
The objective of the works is to address areas that present numerous fire safety deficiencies in the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead building. This includes fire doors that are no longer fit- for-purpose or substandard, lack of fire-stopping and breaches in compartmentation as well as to ensure there is a fully compliant fire alarm system. These works are to ensure there is a fully compliant fire compartmentation and fire alarm system. The works generally consist of the following:
• Design works as required;
• Fire compartmentation repairs and alterations;
• Fire door repairs and replacements;
• Fire damper repairs and replacements;
• Programming, commissioning and witness testing of installations progressively; and
• Provision of accurate record drawings, zone plans, component logs and asset register.
Fire Doors: All fire rated doors will be installed with 60-minute protection with associated ironmongery set out via door schedules
Fire Dampers: Repair or installation of Blue River compatible smoke dampers will be commissioned and interfaced with the fire alarm systems on all current fire break breaches. The project may also extend to the removal of those fire and smoke dampers which are not required. This includes the physical removal of the redundant dampers along with their power and controls.
Compartmentation: Fire compartment and sub compartment wall repairs will be as appropriate to the existing material which may be blockwork, stud and plasterboard or solid plaster panel construction. Fire rated lines will consist of 60 minutes to compartment line and 90 minutes to protected shafts and service risers.
Fire Alarm: The objective of the works is to ensure there is a fully compliant fire alarm system to L1 throughout all areas, including the installation of additional detection, re-zoning, new sounder bases and removal of old equipment including bells and bell circuits.
Central to these compliance objectives is the need for a design risk assessment, which should be undertaken as an integral design process, taking into account current use and occupancy of the areas concerned.
