| 2009-02-06 17:40:15 | ** DENIED REVIEW ** |
| | |
| | ** 6TH REVIEW FAILED. THIS IS THE THIRD REVIEW UNDER |
| | ACTUAL PERMIT APPLICATION. |
| | |
| | 1) NOTE: PLEASE SEE ALL PREVIOUS REVIEWS WITH RESPECT |
| | TO MINIMUM CODE COMPLIANCE REQUIRED FOR CHAPTER 13. |
| | PLEASE SEE THAT COMPLIANCE FOR FLORIDA BUILDING CODE |
| | CHAPTER 13 HAS NOT BEEN ACHIEVED. |
| | THE SUBMITTED METHOD *A* CALCULATIONS ARE FOR *WHOLE |
| | BUILDING COMPLIANCE*. WHEN SUBMITTING ENERGY |
| | CALCULATIONS FOR WHOLE BUILDING COMPLIANCE THAT IS JUST |
| | WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES. PLEASE SEE SECTION13-400.0.A, |
| | 13-400.2.A.2 WHICH IS JUST TWO SECTIONS WHICH STATES |
| | ONCE ALL BUILDING COMPONENTS ARE KNOWN THEN AND ONLY |
| | THEN IS METHOD *A* PERMITTED TO BE USED. |
| | ON PREVIOUS REVIEWS THIS REVIEW GAVE ITEMS ON PLANS |
| | WHICH WERE NOT IN THE ENERGY CALCULATIONS AND ITEMS ON |
| | THE PLANS WHICH WERE NOT IN THE INPUT DATA REPORT OF |
| | THE SUBMITTED CALCULATIONS. |
| | IT IS CLEAR ON THE PLANS THAT THE INFORMATION ON PLANS |
| | DOES NOT COORDINATE WITH PLANS. SOME EXAMPLES WILL BE |
| | GIVEN ONCE AGAIN AS A BENEFIT TO DESIGN TEAM IN AN |
| | EFFORT TO MEET ABSOLUTE *MINIMUM CODE COMPLIANCE*. |
| | |
| | FOR EXAMPLE: INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE IDR STATES A |
| | TOTAL OF 45-32WATT FIXTURES AND A TOTAL OF 30-32WATT |
| | FIXTURES. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WHEN THE FIXTURES ON THE |
| | FIXTURE LEGEND ARE NOT EVEN 32WATT FIXTURES. IN FACT |
| | ONE FIXTURE WHICH IS FIXTURE *A* STATES THERE ARE 4-40W |
| | BULBS AND THE OTHER STATES 2-40W BULBS. |
| | THE *A* FIXTURE WHICH STATES 4-40W BULBS CAN NOT |
| | POSSIBLY BE 32WATTS BASED ON THE INFORMATION STATED ON |
| | THE INPUT DATA REPORT OF THE SUBMITTED SIGNED AND |
| | SEALED ENERGY CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | FOR EXAMPLE: THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE IDR ONLY STATES |
| | 2-150W FIXTURES. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. THIS METHOD OF |
| | CALCULATION SUBMITTED IS METHOD *A* FOR WHOLE BUILDING |
| | COMPLIANCE AND THE LIGHTING SHOWN ON THE ELECTRICAL |
| | PLANS IS FAR GREATER THAN THAT SHOWN ON THE IDR. IN |
| | FACT THE FIXTURES ON THE PLANS ARE 100W, 320W AND 400W |
| | FIXTURES. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE IDR ONLY SHOWS |
| | TWO 150W FIXTURES? |
| | |
| | THE COMMENT FROM PREVIOUS REVIEW AS WELL AS THIS REVIEW |
| | IS ALSO FOR ALL INFORMATION ON PLANS TO COORDINATE WITH |
| | THE INPUT DATA REPORT. THIS COMMENT IS FOR ALL TRADES |
| | AND FOR ALL REVIEWS WHETHER OR NOT COMMENT IS MADE BY |
| | OTHER TRADES. |
| | PLEASE SEE FBC 13-101.1, 13-400.3.A, 13-400.3.B, |
| | 13-415.2, 13-415.2.ABC.1.1,.1.2 AND .1.3. THESE ARE |
| | ONLY A FEW SECTIONS NOTED FOR ELECTRICAL LIGHTING. |
| | PLEASE ALSO SEE 13-400 THROUGH 13-414 FOR COMPLIANCE OF |
| | ALL OTHER BUILDING COMPONENTS SUCH AS INSULATIONS, |
| | DOORS, WINDOWS, FLOOR, PIPING, WATER HEATING ETC. THESE |
| | ARE ONLY A FEW ITEMS NOTED. |
| | PLEASE SEE CHAPTER 13. |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE SEE PREVIOUS REVIEW WITH RESPECT TO THE |
| | REQUIRED TRANSFER SWITCH REQUIRED TO MEET HB 7121, |
| | 701.7, 110.3. THE PROPOSED *BOLT-ON* LOCKS NOT ONLY |
| | WOULD VOID LISTING OF EQUIPMENT IT ALSO DOES NOT MEET |
| | THE SECTIONS OF THE CODE GIVEN. |
| | ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO TRANSFER POWER SHALL BE LISTED |
| | FOR ITS USE. |
| | THE ITEM BEING SUBMITTED FOR USE IS NOT PERMITTED. |
| | ANYONE WHO HAS TWO KEYS COULD OPERATE BOTH BREAKERS AT |
| | THE SAME TIME WHICH WOULD PERMIT POWER FROM BOTH SIDES |
| | BEING ON AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS NOT ONLY A FIRE |
| | HAZARD BUT AS WELL AS A LIFE SAFETY HAZARD. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) NOTE: PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR SIX REVIEWS. ON |
| | THE LAST/PREVIOUS REVIEW A NOTICE WAS GIVEN WITH |
| | RESPECT TO REPEAT COMMENTS FOR CODE COMPLIANCE PER FS |
| | 553.80(2)(B). |
| | WHEN SPECIFIC CODE SECTIONS ARE REPEATED THREE OR MORE |
| | TIMES FOR THE SAME CODE SECTION VIOLATION THE STATE |
| | STATUTE REQUIRES A FEE ASSESSED. THIS FEE AS NOTED PER |
| | STATUTE SECTION GIVEN IS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF THE |
| | BASE PERMIT FEE ATTRIBUTED TO PLAN REVIEW TIMES FOUR. |
| | IN THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH THE PORTION OF THE BASE |
| | PERMIT FEE ATTRIBUTED TO PLANS REVIEW IS 30% (PERCENT) |
| | OF THE BASE PERMIT FEE. THE BASE PERMIT FEE ON THIS |
| | PROJECT IS $4,500.00. THIS IS NOT THE OTHER FEES FOR |
| | FIRE REVIEW ETC. |
| | THE 30% OF THE $4,500.00 IS $1,350.00. THIS IS THE |
| | AMOUNT TIMES FOUR. |
| | $1,350.00 TIMES FOUR IS $5,400.00. THIS IS THE AMOUNT |
| | REQUIRED BY FLORIDA STATUTES TO BE ASSESSED. THIS IS |
| | NOT A LOCAL FEE OR LOCALLY REQUIRED. THIS IS A REQUIRED |
| | FEE BY THE STATE. |
| | IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE FEE IS FOR EACH TIME |
| | AFTER THEREFORE IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR CORRECTIONS TO BE |
| | MADE AND FOR PLANS AND SUBMITTED ENERGY CALCULATIONS TO |
| | MATCH AND TO MEET MINIMUM CODE. ONE SET OF ELECTRICAL |
| | PLANS, AND CALCULATIONS ARE BEING RETAINED BY THIS |
| | OFFICE FOR FILE. IT IS NOT THE INTENT OF THIS OFFICE TO |
| | SEND PLANS TO THE FLORIDA BOARD OF ENGINEERS FOR REVIEW |
| | AT THIS TIME HOWEVER THIS OFFICE MAY NOT BE LEFT WITH |
| | ANY CHOICE BASED ON THE NEXT REVIEW. PLEASE MAKE |
| | CORRECTIONS AS NOTED. |
| | |
| | |
| | ** IMPORTANT ** |
| | ONCE AUDIT/REVIEWS ARE COMPLETE AND PLANS ARE PICKED UP |
| | FOR CORRECTIONS, PLEASE BE SURE TO COMPLETELY REMOVE |
| | ALL OLD/VOIDED SHEETS AND ONLY INSERT NEW REVISED |
| | SHEETS INTO TWO COMPLETE SETS FOR REVIEW AND STAMPING. |
| | DO NOT LEAVE ANY OLD/VOIDED SHEETS IN SETS. |
| | PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO PLANS. ANY |
| | ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION SUCH AS PRODUCT APPROVALS, |
| | SPEC/CUT SHEETS, CALCULATIONS ETC. SHOULD BE PLACED |
| | INTO TWO SETS/FOLDERS/BINDERS ETC. |
| | PLEASE KNOW ONLY ONE SET OF THE OLD/VOIDED SHEETS |
| | SHOULD BE SUBMITTED FOR REFERENCE. |
| | THIS WILL HELP IN THE AUDIT/REVIEW PROCESS AND AVOID |
| | ANY DELAYS. |
| | |
| | |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS; OR IF COMMENTS ARE NOT |
| | TYPED IN A CLEAR MANNER PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO |
| | CONTACT THIS REVIEWER. |
