Document Description
The project includes replacing the existing building fire alarm systems at the residential complex at six building locations and the upgrade to the electrical closet near the utility room (headend). The building include "D" Roosevelt, "C" Wilson, "K" Johnson, "H" Kennedy, "F" Truman, and "E" Washington. The majority of the construction is in the central fire alarm reporting system, ship/firmware, and fiber optic connection and is in the interior of the buildings. The work includes replacement of the wires inside existing conduit, installation of concealed conduit and upgrades in the electrical closets. Some outdoor trenching will be done to install underground conduit to the central reporting dispatch center. No new materials or construction will be attached to the exterior of the buildings and all work will be done within the central portion of the Veterans Affairs Property. The project will renovate an existing State-owned facility and will not involve an expansion of existing use. The Yountville Veterans Home is a historical district and because the buildings are older than 50 years, consultation with a representative of the State Office of Historic Preservation was conducted pursuant to the Public Resources Code section 5024.5. It has been determined that the project would not represent an adverse effect on historic resources.
