Question:
Hi,

In SP 5 & 6 pricing tabs there are only an annual frequency listed for hydrants and Onslow -Multipurpose Centre & Paraburdoo Community Hub Carpark listed.

The Multi-Purpose Centre & Paraburdoo Community Hub have no Hydrants listed on the supplied Evac Plans, however there is a hydrant shown on the EVAC plans for the Onlsow administration building, Tom Price Civic Centre & Paraburdoo Courts & Clubhouse

Can you please confirm the frequency and sites for hydrant testing is correct?

FYI hydrant inspections are 6 monthly and annual under AS1851-2012.


Also within a number of the EVAC plans provided there are indications of Fire Hose Reels.

Within the separable portion pricing tables, it only list Fire extinguishers and Fire Blanket and Hydrants, are the Fire Hose Reel asset to be included within our pricing?

Thanks
