Although specific site details such as city, state, or zip code are not provided, the work scope implies execution across multiple locations under the agency’s jurisdiction where cabling installations are performed and fire barriers must be restored. All materials and methods used must meet UL listing requirements and uphold the fire-resistance ratings of the penetrated assemblies.
