We almost always exclude all electric and detection, but on occasion we have subcontracted electric work out (not for preaction though). Recently, we have had a few government projects where the building's electric department was responsible for all electric connections to the preaction cabinet. They also connected the new preaction system to their proprietary alarm system (that was a lot of fun trying to get the correct modules).
We to have found the electric/fire alarm contractors also exclude the devices for the preaction systems (usually knowing that they will get a change order later on). We are strictly a sprinkler company. We provide devices, flows and tampers, but no other fire alarm services. Not licensed as a fire alarm contractor.

We traditionally have excluded all electrical and alarm but find it very common that the fire alarm contractor was just smarts and parts and the electrician doesn't have it in his scope. Not very often have the ME and EE coordinated so that it is spelled out correctly. So my question is do most of you include this scope and have an electrical subcontractor that runs the conduit, provides and installs the heats or detectors and programs the releasing panel or do you exclude?
