The contractor is expected to follow the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, specifically NFPA 101, NFPA 80, and NFPA 105. Inspections will determine the compliance status of fire door assemblies, ensuring they meet safety criteria including operational efficacy, structural integrity, and absence of modifications that void their ratings. The contractor must submit a detailed report within 10 business days, including findings on compliant and non-compliant doors, quantified by building and floor. A multi-point inspection checklist will be utilized, covering various components of the door systems.
