| | NOTE: DESIGNER'S WRITTEN RESPONSES DATED 12/4/08 |
| | INDICATE THAT ONE OF THE MECHANICAL REVIEW COMMENTS |
| | [COMMENT 2(D) DATED 11/24/08] WAS "BASED ON THE PLAN |
| | REVIEWER VALUE ENGINEERING THE PLANS." THIS RESPONSE IS |
| | NEITHER HELPFUL NOR ACCURATE. IN A PREVIOUS REVIEW IT |
| | WAS ASKED FOR PURPOSES OF CLARIFICATION WHETHER ALL |
| | FIRE DAMPERS WERE INTENDED TO BE FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS, OR |
| | IF THERE WOULD BE STANDARD FIRE DAMPERS WHERE THE |
| | COMBINATION DAMPERS WERE NOT REQUIRED BY CODE. THE |
| | RESPONSE FROM STEVE HOCKMAN WAS THAT THE PLANS WOULD BE |
| | CHANGED TO REFLECT FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS ONLY IN LOCATIONS |
| | REQUIRED BY CODE. WHEN THE PLANS WERE RESUBMITTED AND |
| | THIS CHANGE WAS NOT MADE, DESPITE A WRITTEN RESPONSE |
| | INDICATING THAT THE CHANGE WAS MADE, COMMENT 2(D) |
| | REQUESTED CLARIFICATION AGAIN. THIS WAS NOT AN ATTEMPT |
| | AT "VALUE ENGINEERING" AND AT NO TIME DID ANY REVIEW |
| | COMMENTS INSTRUCT ANYONE TO CHANGE FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS |
| | TO FIRE DAMPERS TO SAVE MONEY. |
