| | REVISED SUBMITTAL TO ANSWER THE REVIEW NOTES. I HAVE |
| | ATTACHED THIS DOCUMENT FOR YOUR REVIEW. IF WE NEED TO |
| | RESUBMIT THIS FORMALLY AS A RESPONSE TO THE FIRST AND |
| | SECOND REVIEW PLEASE LET ME KNOW. |
| | |
| | IN REGARDS TO THE PLANS WITH CLOUDED AREAS AND DELTAS |
| | WE FELT THAT THERE WERE SO MANY CHANGES WE WOULD HAVE |
| | TO CLOUD EACH AND EVERY PAGE. AFTER RECEIPT OF THE 1ST |
| | REVIEW WE REVISITED THE OWNERS ORIGINAL ENGINEER OF |
| | RECORDS DESIGN AND DETERMINED WE NEEDED A MORE IN DEPTH |
| | LOOK AT THE SITE CONDITIONS AS IT RELATED TO THE DESIGN |
| | AND COMPLIANCE. DURING THIS PERIOD WE DISCOVERED |
| | SEVERAL AREAS THAT WERE NOT COVERED ON OUR PLANS AS IT |
| | RELATED TO THIS SYSTEM. BELOW I HAVE LISTED SOME OF THE |
| | CHANGES WE ADDED TO OUR PLANS AND RESUBMITTAL: |
| | |
| | MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WHERE FIRE SPRINKLER TIE INS WERE |
| | NOT INDICATED WERE ADDED (RISER, FLOW AND TAMPERS) |
| | INCORRECT ROOM NUMBERS ON THE PLANS THAT WOULD BECOME |
| | CONFUSING IN THE PROGRAMMING PHASE OF THE PROJECT HAVE |
| | BEEN CHANGED TO REFLECT THE CORRECT ROOM NUMBER |
| | FANS NOT INDICATED (3) |
| | MODULES TO PROVIDE TWO SEPARATE TWO SMOKE COMPARTMENTS |
| | PER FLOOR FOR THE SLEEPING AREAS HAVE BEEN ADDED? |
| | CHANGE OF OCCUPANT NOTIFICATION WITHIN EACH TENANT ROOM |
| | (NOW ALL SOUNDERS IN EACH ROOM ARE LOW FREQUENCY |
| | SOUNDER BASES) |
| | PLAN OF SEQUENCE CHANGE AND ADDED TO PLANS |
| | ADDITIONAL MODULES TO ALLOW FOR 'STAND AND DEFEND" THUS |
| | PROVIDING A MINIMUM OF TWO SMOKE COMPARTMENTS PER FLOOR |

| | 2ND REVIEW: |
| | NO RESPONSES TO ORIGINAL REVIEW COMMENTS SUBMITTED AND |
| | DRAWINGS DO NOT INDICATE ANY REVISION CLOUDS WITH |
| | DELTAS SHOWING WHAT HAS BEEN CHANGED. |
| | |
| | 1ST REVIEW: |
| | PLAN INDICATES EXISTING FIREFIGHTER PHONE JACKS ARE TO |
| | BE REMOVED. HOW WILL FIRE DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATIONS BE |
| | ACHIEVED? IS THE BUILDING BEING UPGRADED WITH A DAS/BDA |
| | RADIO SYSTEM? |
| | |
| | THE FIRST FLOOR ALF SLEEPING AREAS ARE NOT DIVIDED INTO |
| | TWO SMOKE COMPARTMENTS. |
| | |
| | DESIGN INDICATES THREE ENTIRE FLOORS WILL BE EVACUATED |
| | DURING GENERAL FIRE ALARM. THIS EVACUATION CONCEPT IS |
| | NOT SUPPORTED BY THE LIFE SAFETY CODE. THE CODE |
| | REQUIRES ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES TO BE PROVIDED WITH |
| | AT LEAST TWO SMOKE COMPARTMENTS PER FLOOR TO ALLOW |
| | "DEFEND IN PLACE" WHEREBY RESIDENTS ARE RELOCATED TO AN |
| | ADJACENT SMOKE COMPARTMENT ON THE SAME FLOOR DURING A |
| | FIRE ALARM. FIRE ALARM DEVICES SHOULD ONLY BE ACTIVATED |
| | IN THE COMPARTMENT OF INCIDENCE AND THE COMPARTMENT |
| | ABOVE THE FLOOR OF INCIDENCE. FIRE ALARM NOTIFICATION |
| | DEVICES IN THE COMPARTMENT OF RELOCATION SHOULD NOT BE |
| | ACTIVATED. |
| | |
| | 5TH FLOOR EAST WING CORRIDOR NOTIFICATION DEVICES ALL |
| | HAVE THE SAME ADDRESS. |
| | |
| | ALL DEVICES ON THE 6TH FLOOR HAVE THE SAME ADDRESSES AS |
| | THE 5TH FLOOR DEVICES. |
| | |
| | PLAN SEQUENCE OF OPERATION INDICATES ACTIVATION OF ANY |
| | SMOKE DETECTOR WILL RESULT IN A GENERAL BUILDING FIRE |
| | ALARM. SMOKE ALARMS/DETECTORS WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL |
| | DWELLING UNITS SHALL RESULT IN A LOCAL ALARM ONLY |
| | (SINGLE DWELLING UNIT). |
