Tank and Pump system (TPS) IDIQ

FEMA assists survivors in moving from shelters to temporary housing as quickly as possible. One of the options that FEMA uses for temporary housing is manufactured homes. Manufactured homes are built to comply with 24 CFR 3280, and the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard (the Standard), however, the Standard is silent on the inclusion of residential fire sprinklers. FEMA has determined that the agency will equip Manufactured Housing Units (MHUs) with residential fire sprinkler systems. The sprinkler systems are in compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes - NFPA 13D. FEMA has determined that an internal or external Tank and Pump System (TPS) (depending on the size and type of MHU) will be provided with the MHUs to ensure a consistent and adequate water supply. The TPS will provide adequate water flow, pressure and quantity to meet the operational requirements set forth by FEMA and in NFPA 13D. FEMA has developed requirements for the TPS that will allow the MHU manufacturers to plan the NFPA 13D sprinkler system. The TPS requirements will have water pressure and flow requirements, an environmental envelop, water capacity minimums, maximum electrical power available, transportation requirements, and specific connections for electricity and water.
