| | REVIEW |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1)THE REVISIONS SUBMITTEDAPRIL 13/2007 WHICH |
| | INCLUDE MIAMI WALL SYSTEMS : |
| | 100 ALUMINIUM SLIDIG GLASS DOORS LARGE AND SMALL MISSLE |
| | IMPACT RESISTANT UNITS: |
| | MIAMI-DADE NOA: |
| | 04-0908.022001 FBC- LARGE & SMALL MISSLE 100 |
| | ALUMINUM SLIDING GLASS DOORS |
| | 01-1108.032001 FBC- SMALL MISSLE 100 ALUMINUM |
| | SLIDING GLASS DOORS |
| | 03-1008.032001 FBC- LARGE MISSLE 122 ALUMINUM |
| | SINGLE HUNG WINDOW |
| | 03-1008.042001 FBC- SMALL MISSLE 122 ALUMINUM |
| | SINGLE HUNG WINDOW |
| | |
| | THIS MORNINGS VISIT TO THE JOBSITE WITH HAROLD PISKURA |
| | WE WERE ABLE TO VERIFY THE GLASS THICKNESS USED IN EACH |
| | OF THE INSTALLATION SINGLE HUNG WINDOWS AS WELL AS THE |
| | SLIDING GLASS DOORS. THE CONCERNS ARE AS FOLLOWS IN |
| | THIS EXAMPLE: |
| | |
| | 1A) WHERE ON THE SLIDING GLASS DOORS WE ARE ABLE TO |
| | VERIFY THE GLASS THICKNESS OF 9/16" FOR THE SLIDING |
| | GLASS DOORS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO VERIFY AS TO WHICH |
| | LAMINATE |
| | WAS INSTALLED IN EACH OF THE UNITS. THE NOA 04-0908.02 |
| | TECHNICAL SHEET 1 OF 4 CLEARLY INDICATES ALL GLASS |
| | TYPES ARE 9/16" THICK ONLY GLASS TYPES A & B CAN MAKE |
| | THE WIND |
| | LOADS ABOVE +/- 70. THE FRAMES OF THIS UNIT INDICATE |
| | THEY HAVE THE HEAVY REINFORCEMENT FOUND INNOA |
| | 01-1108.03/ FTL# 1743. |
| | |
| | 1B)THE SECOND CONCERN IS THE FRAMES LISTED UNDER |
| | MIAMI WALL SYSTEMS, INC SGDSMALL MISSLE LAM GLASSNOA |
| | 01-1108.03TECHNICAL SHEETS 2-5 INDICATE THE SLIDING |
| | GLASS DOOR UNITS WITH NO REINFORCEMENT, LIGHT, MEDIUM |
| | AND HEAVY REINFORCEMENT AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESSURES. |
| | AGAIN WE HAVE NO WAY OF VISUALLY INSPECTING THE |
| | INSTALLED FRAMES AND |
| | VERIFYING WHAT TYPE OF REINFORCEMENT IS IN THE FRAME IF |
| | ANY, THUS HAVING LOW PRESSURES. NO APPROVAL LABELS ON |
| | DOORS OR WINDOWS. |
| | |
| | 1707.4.2.1 TESTING AND LABELING. EXTERIOR WINDOWS AND |
| | GLASS DOORS |
| | SHALL BE TESTED BY AN APPROVED INDEPENDENT TESTING |
| | LABORATORY, AND |
| | SHALL BE LABELED WITH AN APPROVED LABEL IDENTIFYING |
| | THE MANUFACTURER, |
| | PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AND APPROVED PRODUCT |
| | CERTIFICATION AGENCY, |
| | TESTING LABORATORY, EVALUATION ENTITY OR MIAMI-DADE |
| | NOTICE OF |
| | ACCEPTANCE TO INDICATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF ONE OF THE |
| | FOLLOWING SPECIFICATIONS: |
| | |
| | ANSI/AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2-97 OR TAS 202 |
| | (HVHZ SHALL COMPLY WITH TAS 202) |
| | |
| | 2) WITH VISITING THE JOBSITE TO VERIFY THE TYPE OF |
| | GLASS AND THICKNESS TWO MORE CONCERNS WERE NOTICED. 2A) |
| | ON THE FOURTH FLOOR WE NOTICED A MULLION BETWEEN TWO |
| | SEPERATE SLIDING GLASS DOORS. THERE IS NO PRODUCT |
| | APPROVALS SUBMITTED FOR STRUCTURAL MULLIONS. PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE PRODUCT APPROVALS FOR THE STRUCTURAL MULLION. |
| | |
| | 2B) WITH VISITING THE JOBSITE IN EACH UNITS VISITED, |
| | THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR TRACK WAS APPROXIMATELY 41/2" |
| | ABOVE THE CONCRETEFLOOR. IN RETURNING TO THE BUILDING |
| | DEPARTMENT |
| | I REVIEWED THE CITY SEET OF REVIEWED PLANS FOR |
| | THIS TYPE OF DETAIL, SHEET A440 DETAIL # 6 PROVIDED THE |
| | DETAIL THAT WS REVIEWED TO THE FAIR HOUSING STANDARDS. |
| | I ALSO DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH BO NEIL MELICK WHICH |
| | HE ALSO INDICATED ALL UNITS ARE TO COMPLY WITH THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING STANDARDS FOR SLIDING GLASS DOORS USED AS A |
| | SECONDARY ENTRANCE. |
| | A COPY OF THIS STANDARDIS ATTACHED. |
| | |
| | 3) THE SAME ISSUE AS (1A)IS THE TYPE OF LAMINATION |
| | USED FOR THE SINGLE HUNG WINDOWS, THERE IS NO WAY OF |
| | KNOWING WHAT TYPE OF LAMINATION WAS USED. |
| | THE ONE WAY THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY WHAT TYPE OF UNITS |
| | WERE SHIPPED IS BY PROVIDING A COPY OF THE BILL OF |
| | LADING, THIS MAY IDENTIFY THE AMOUNT OF WINDOWS AND |
| | DOORS |
| | THAT WERE SHIPPED TO THE JOB SITE? |
| | |
| | 4) NOTE: JOBSITE INSPECTION OF THE LOBBY ENTRY DOORS, |
| | YES THE PRODUCT APPROVAL FOR SIGNATURE DOORS DOES |
| | INCLUDE LARGE MISSLE TESTING NOA 04-0211.09 |
| | DOORS DO NOT HAVE ANY APPROVAL LABELS. |
| | 1707.4.2.1 TESTING AND LABELING. EXTERIOR WINDOWS AND |
| | GLASS DOORS |
| | SHALL BE TESTED BY AN APPROVED INDEPENDENT TESTING |
| | LABORATORY, AND |
| | SHALL BE LABELED WITH AN APPROVED LABEL IDENTIFYING |
| | THE MANUFACTURER, |
| | PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AND APPROVED PRODUCT |
| | CERTIFICATION AGENCY, |
| | TESTING LABORATORY, EVALUATION ENTITY OR MIAMI-DADE |
| | NOTICE OF |
| | ACCEPTANCE TO INDICATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF ONE OF THE |
| | FOLLOWING SPECIFICATIONS: |
