Looking at bidding a dental clinic that has no city ordinance on fire alarm systems. Would a dental clinic be required to have a fire alarm system? There will be no sprinkler system in the building either

You will have to look at the occupancy and then how many people will be occupying the space. Here, the international building code can be your friend. If your local jurisdiction follows the IBC they don't need a separate ordinance for fire alarms. That said, it's amazing how little is required, even for an unsprinklered building.
