| | COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS LIST, NOT ADDRESSED: |
| | |
| | ***PLEASE NOTE THAT CODE COMPLIANCE IS TO BE |
| | INCORPORATED INTO THE PLAN.THE RESPONSE LETTER IS TO |
| | ASSIST WITH PLAN REVIEW ONLY, AND WILL NOT BE A PART OF |
| | THE PERMIT PACKAGE.SEE FBC*106.1.1, ALL INFORMATION |
| | TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PLANS PROVIDED*** |
| | |
| | ***PLEASE NOTE THAT IF ALTERNATE MATERIALS AND METHODS |
| | ARE PROPOSED, THIS WILL REQUIRE APPROVAL BY THE |
| | BUILDING OFFICIAL*** |
| | |
| | 1.REVISE THE FLOOR PLAN TO SHOW THE LOCATION OF |
| | WORK. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW, DOCUMENTS PREPARED BY AN ARCHITECT AND |
| | SUBMITTED FOR PUBLIC RECORD ARE TO BE SIGNED, SEALED, |
| | DATED ORIGINALS FS481.YELLOW HIGHLIGHTER WAS USED TO |
| | SHOW WORK LOCATION; PLEASE REVISE TO USE INK GRAPHICS |
| | AS THE HIGHLIGHTER DOES NOT APPEAR WHEN SCANNED. |
| | |
| | ALSO INCLUDE DIMENSIONS ON THE FLOOR PLAN.AN OVERALL |
| | DIMENSION TO SHOW SCOPE OF WORK WAS NOT PROVIDED.SEE |
| | FBC*106.1.1, PLANS ARE TO SHOW EXTENT OF WORK. |
| | |
| | 2. SHOW REQUIRED FIRE RESISTANCE RATING FOR THE WALL |
| | AND HOW PROPOSED WORK WILL COMPLY.THIS APPEARS TO BE |
| | A 1 HOUR EXIT CORRIDOR REQUIRED BY FBC TABLE 1016.1. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW, THIS SHOULD BE NOTED ON THE FLOOR PLAN AND |
| | THE DETAIL IS TO INCLUDE REQUIRED FIRE RESISTANCE |
| | INFORMATION.THE FIRE RESISTANCE RATINGS SHALL BE |
| | DETERMINED BY ONE OF THE METHODS IN FBC703.2.THE FIRE |
| | RESISTANCE RATED CORRIDOR IS BEING ALTERED; THIS MUST |
| | BE INCLUDED IN EITHER A TESTED ASSEMBLY OR PRESCRIPTIVE |
| | METHOD. |
| | |
| | THE RESPONSE LETTER STATES THAT THE DETAIL SHOWS HOW |
| | FIRE RESISTANCE IS AFFECTED.PLEASE PROVIDE CODE |
| | SECTIONS SHOWING COMPLIANCE AS I WAS UNABLE TO FIND |
| | THIS APPLICATION IN THE PRESCRIPTIVE METHOD OF THE |
| | CODE, AND A TESTED ASSEMBLY NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | PLEASE CONFIRM THE FIRE RESISTIVE RATING REQUIREMENT. |
| | THE FLOOR PLAN IS DIFFICULT TO READ, BUT IT APPEARS |
| | THAT BOTH EXIT STAIRS LEAD TO THIS EXIT CORRIDOR, AND |
| | UNDER CURRENT CODE A 2 HOUR RATING WOULD BE REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 3.SEE FBC803.3, STABILITY.THE DATA SUBMITTED FOR |
| | THE LIQUID NAIL STATED THAT HIGH HEAT CONDITIONS ARE TO |
| | BE AVOIDED.IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO COMPLY WITH THE HEAT |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBC803.3. |
| | |
| | THE RESPONSE LETTER MAKES THE STATEMENT ?IN THE |
| | UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THE 1/4IN OVERLAY SHOULD COME OFF, |
| | THE REQUIRED PROTECTION WOULD STILL EXIST.?IT IS |
| | UNACCEPTABLE TO CONSIDER THAT THE ADHESIVE IN A RATED |
| | EXIT CORRIDOR WOULD FAIL IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, |
| | ESPECIALLY AS ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE BUILDING WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH THIS EXIT CORRIDOR AS THE STAIRS |
| | DO NOT LEAD TO THE OUTSIDE.THIS IS PROHIBITED IN |
| | OTHER CODE SECTIONS.PLEASE REVISE PLAN AND SUBMIT |
| | MATERIAL SPEC SHEETS WHICH SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | FBC803.3. |
| | |
| | 4.HOW HAS THE DETERIORATION OF THE EXISTING DRYWALL |
| | AFFECTED REQUIRED FIRE RESISTANCE? |
| | |
| | CONDITION OF EXISTING DRYWALL TO BE NOTED ON THE PLAN. |
| | IT IS NOT CLEAR; IF NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE EXISTING |
| | DRYWALL, WHY ARE YOU PROPOSING TO COVER IT?PLANS |
| | SHOULD BE CLEAR AS TO NATURE OF WORK AND EXISTING |
| | CONDITIONS, FBC*106.1.1. |
| | |
| | 5.GYPSUM BOARD TO BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC |
| | 2508.1.SEE GA 216, A TEST ON THE EXISTING DRYWALL IS |
| | REQUIRED, SECTION 12. |
| | |
| | THE RESPONSE LETTER STATES THAT THE WORK WILL BE IN |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH ASTM C 840 TABLE 5.8.3 ADHESIVES. |
| | PLEASE STATE UNDER WHICH TESTED OR PRESCRIPTIVE |
| | ASSEMBLY INCLUDES ADHESIVES, SEE OTHER COMMENTS.GA216 |
| | IS REQUIRED IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF ASTM C |
| | 840.THIS REFERENCE IS USED IN BOTH THE BUILDING CODE |
| | AND IS A REQUIRED REFERENCE FOR THE GC EXAM.PLEASE |
| | INCLUDE THE TEST REQUIREMENTS ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 6.PROVIDE A DETAIL FOR PROPOSED WORK.INCLUDE SIZE |
| | OF DRYWALL, HEIGHT, TYPE. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW, PLEASE INCLUDE ALL DETAILS INCLUDED IN THE |
| | ASSEMBLY OR PRESCRIPTIVE METHOD.FOR INSTANCE, SCREW |
| | SIZES AND PATTERN, INSULATION, SIZE OF FRAMING, ETC. |

| | PRESCRIPTIVE ASSEMBLY ARE TO BE INCLUDED. |
| | |
| | 7.SEE GA 216, WALLPAPER TO BE REMOVED PRIOR TO |
| | ADHESION OF NEW DRYWALL.PLEASE NOTE ON THE DETAIL. |
| | |
| | THE RESPONSE LETTER STATES THAT THE WALLPAPER WILL BE |
| | REMOVED, BUT THIS WAS NOT NOTED ON THE PLAN AS |
| | REQUIRED.THE FUNCTION OF PLAN REVIEW IS TO DETERMINE |
| | CODE REQUIREMENTS AND COMPLIANCE; REQUIRING THIS ON THE |
| | PLAN HELPS TO AVOID FIELD ISSUES. |
| | |
| | 8.WHO WILL CERTIFY THE TEST ON THE EXISTING DRYWALL |
| | AND FIRE RESISTANCE? |
| | |
| | THE RESPONSE LETTER STATES THAT ASTM C840 NO TEST IS |
| | REQUIRED.PLEASE ADDRESS THE QUESTION; WHO WILL |
| | CERTIFY THE TEST REQUIRED BY GA 216?THE CODE STATES |
| | THAT INSTALLATION OF GYPSUM IS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | BOTH ASTM C840 AND GA 216.THEREFORE, ALTHOUGH ASTM |
| | C840 DOES NOT REQUIRE A TEST, GA216 REQUIRES AN |
| | ADHESION TEST.THE TEST REQUIREMENT AND SPECIFICATIONS |
| | FOR THIS TEST SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN.WHO WILL |
| | CERTIFY THE TEST RESULTS? |
