| 2008-06-12 15:09:23 | 1. THE PREVIOUS PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS APPEAR TO HAVE |
| | BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED WITH THE REVISED PLANS AND |
| | COMMENT LETTER. |
| | |
| | 2. THERE STILL APPEARS TO BE CONFUSION RELATED TO THE |
| | FIRE PROTECTION DRAWINGS. THE FIRE PROTECTION KEYED |
| | NOTES INDICATES THAT A CLASS III MANUAL WET STANDPIPE |
| | SYSTEM WITH 2 1/2 TO 1 1/2 REDUCERS WITH CAPS ATTACHED |
| | TO A CHAIN ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDED. PER NFPA 14, THE |
| | STANDARD FOR STANDPIPE SYSTEMS A MANUAL WET STANDPIPE |
| | SYSTEM IS DEFINED AS A WET STANDPIPE SYSTEM CONNECTED |
| | TO A SMALL WATER SUPPLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING |
| | WATER WITHIN THE SYSTEM OR SHARING A WATER SUPPLY WITH |
| | AN AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM BUT NOT HAVING A WATER |
| | SUPPLY ATTACHED TO IT. THIS PROPSOSED SYSTEM IS A |
| | SYSTEM THAT RELIES ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO CONNECT TO |
| | THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION TO SUPPLY SYSTEM DEMAND. |
| | FURTHER A CLASS III STANDPIPE SYSTEM PROVIDES HOSE |
| | STATIONS FOR USE BY BUILDING OCCUPANTS. BUILDING |
| | OCCUPANTS AND STAFF CANNOT BE SUFFICIENTLY TRAINED TO |
| | USE CLASS III STANDPIPES. |
| | |
| | 3. NO PRIOR APPROVAL FOR THE MANUAL WET STANDPIPE |
| | SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS OFFICE. SOME |
| | TIME AGO THIS INFORMATION WAS DISCUSSED AS THE PREVIOUS |
| | PLANS DID NOT SEEM TO COORDINATE WITH OTHER DRAWINGS. |
| | NO APPROVAL FOR A MANUAL WET STANDPIPE SYSTEM WILL BE |
| | ALLOWED FOR THIS NEW HOTEL. |
| | |
| | 4. ON PAGE FP-205A A COMBINATION CLASS II STANDPIPE |
| | SYSTEM HAS BEEN CALLED OUT FOR THE ROOF MANIFOLD. |
| | |
| | 5. ON PAGE FP-201A A SIX INCH FIRE LINE IS DESCRIBED. A |
| | 100 PSI ELECTRIC PUMP IS ALSO NOTED ALTHOUGH THE EXACT |
| | GPM FOR THE PUMP COULD NOT BE LOCATED. |
| | |
| | 6. NO FIRE PUMP DETAILS OR SPECIFIC DRAWINGS COULD BE |
| | LOCATED. |
| | |
| | 7. THE FIRE LINE APPEARS TO LEAVE THE EXISTING TWELVE |
| | INCH FIRE MAIN AND ENTERS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND IS |
| | REDUCED TO SIX INCHES AND ENTERS THE SPRINKLER BFP |
| | ROOM. WHERE IS THE POINT OF SERVICE BEING CONSIDERED |
| | AND WHERE IS THE FIRE SPRINKLER RISER LOCATED. |
| | |
| | 8. TWELVE FIFTY IS REFERENCED ON THE FIRE PROTECTION |
| | PLANS HOWEVER ONLY THREE TEST HEADERS ARE AVAILABLE |
| | WHICH EQUATES TO ONE THOUSAND GPM'S. |
| | |
| | 9. A CAREFUL REVIEW OF THE CIVIL AND FIRE PROTECTION |
| | DRAWINGS NEEDS TO OCCUR SO THE DESIGN INTENT IS |
| | APPARANT. A MANAUL WET STANDPIPE SYSTEM IS NOT APPROVED |
| | AND SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE DRAWINGS. |
