Building 450 Fire Suppression System Installation

The United States Air Force is seeking qualified firms to design, furnish, and install a complete wet‑pipe automatic fire‑suppression system for Building 450 at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Indiana.

All design work must be stamped by a certified fire‑protection engineer, and contractors must coordinate base access, background checks, and waste‑disposal requirements. • Install a wet‑pipe automatic sprinkler system (NFPA 13) limited to the new office enclosure in Building 450. • Provide water‑service infrastructure: tap existing 6‑in. DI main, install fire‑hydrant, post‑indicator valve, fire‑department connection, and back‑flow preventer, all housed in a fire‑rated mechanical room. • Construct a fire‑rated enclosure (1‑hour ceiling, Type X gypsum walls) and perform all necessary civil, mechanical, electrical, and fire‑alarm integration work, complying with UFC 3‑600‑01, base standards, and NAFI regulations.
