Article 26 - Fire Alarm Upgrades – �Middle School

  • The existing Middle School fire alarm system is not a Class A system in which each device has a separate wire to the electrical panel. This makes system troubleshooting very labor intensive.

  • In addition, the existing fire alarm system wiring is not the appropriate gauge for carrying information without causing ground faults. In May of 2014, we received funds to engineer & design a system upgrade, including construction cost estimate for replacing the system with wire upgrades.

  • The engineering phase of this project is in process and the designer is reviewing the existing conditions. The amount requested is $170,000.
