Installation of an Engineered Fire Suppression System

The contract requires the installation of an engineered fire suppression system in the diesel generator rooms of three 60T portal cranes at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, to mitigate fire risks, protect personnel and government assets, and ensure uninterrupted crane operations critical to the shipyard’s mission. The system must comply with NFPA 12, NFPA 72, and NFPA 2001 standards, incorporating features such as automatic audible and visual alarms in the operator’s cab, a 20- to 30-second warning prior to agent discharge, shutdown of ventilation fans, manual actuation stations clearly labeled with protected compartment details, and bright red-painted piping marked “FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM” with flow direction and compartment identification. Extinguishing agent containers must display the normal weight or volume of the agent, and a means to deactivate or cancel the system must be provided to prevent unintended activation. All work must be performed in coordination with government representatives and adhere to strict site access protocols, including DBIDS badging, PPE guidelines, and compliance with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling and reporting requirements under DoD directives. Contractors must maintain a “clean-as-you-go” work methodology and immediately report any spills to the Fire Division at 757-396-3333, assuming full responsibility for cleanup of Contractor-generated discharges.
