| | |
| | |
| | ** UNTIL DATE OF REVIEW THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC CONTACT |
| | FOR ELECTRICAL. DURING REVIEW A CALL WAS PLACED TO JOHN |
| | VAUGHAN. ELECTRICAL ENGINEER JAMES MAKO CALLED TO GO |
| | OVER COMMENTS. |
| | SEVERAL ITEMS WERE GONE OVER HOWEVER AS THE REVIEW WAS |
| | NOT COMPLETE AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSATION A FUTURE |
| | CALL MAY BE NEEDED ONCE ALL REVIEW NOTES ARE POSTED. |
| | SOME NOTES FROM PREVIOUS REVIEW WILL REMAIN ALONG WITH |
| | NEW COMMENTS BASED ON THE DOCUMENTS NOW PLACED ON THE |
| | PLANS AND SUBMITTED WITH THE DOCUMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1) NOTE: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE NOTICE OF |
| | COMMENCEMENT WHICH WAS RECORDED ON SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2008 |
| | HAS BECOME VOID. PLEASE SEE FS 713.13(2). |
| | WHEN WORK HAS NOT COMMENCED WITHIN 90DAYS OF RECORDING |
| | SUCH NOC THE NOC BECOMES VOIDED. THIS WOULD ONLY NEED |
| | TO BE RE-RECORDED. |
| | THIS COMMENT IS GIVEN AS INFORMATION ONLY TO HELP |
| | AVOIDED ANY DELAYS IN THE PERMITTING AND INSPECTION |
| | PROCESS FOR THE OWNER AND CONTRACTOR. |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE SEE FBC 13-101.1, 13-400.0. |
| | THE PREVIOUS REVIEW REQUESTED LIGHTING PERFORMANCE |
| | CALCULATIONS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE FBC CHAPTER 13, |
| | 13-415.2. |
| | PLEASE SEE 13-415.2.ABC.1.1, .1.2 AND .1.3. |
| | THE SUBMITTED METHOD *A* MAY BE USED WHEN YOU HAVE A |
| | WHOLE BUILDING OR AN ADDITION WHICH IS NOT INCLUDING |
| | ANY RENOVATION TO ANY EXISTING BUILDING AREAS. |
| | THE METHOD *A* SUBMITTED DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY |
| | SIGNATURE, OR DATE BY THE RESPONSIBLE DESIGNER. |
| | MUST CONTAIN THESE PER 13-103.1. PLEASE SEE DESIGNERS |
| | PERMITTED TO DO THIS UNDER FLORIDA STATUTES 471, 481 |
| | AND 489. |
| | THE METHOD *A* SUBMITTED CLEARLY STATES *RENOVATION TO |
| | EXISTING BUILDING*. IF THIS IS NOT AN ADDITION, OR |
| | WHOLE BUILDING NEW CONSTRUCTION THEN THIS METHOD MAY |
| | NOT BE USED. |
| | IN ANY CASE ALL INFORMATION ON ANY INPUT DATA REPORT |
| | NEEDS TO COORDINATE WITH ALL INFORMATION ON PLANS. |
| | THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS ON THE IDR AS SUBMITTED WHICH |
| | ARE EITHER NOT COMPLETE OR THESE ITEMS ARE NOT THE SAME |
| | AS ON PLANS. |
| | EXAMPLES: |
| | THE METHOD OF LIGHTING CONTROLS STATE *MANUAL ON/OFF*. |
| | THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS ANY NEW PRESCRIPTIVE LIGHTING |
| | CONTROLS IN A BUILDING GREATER THAN 5K SQ FT SHALL |
| | COMPLY WITH 13-415.1.ABC.1, .1.1, .1.2, .1.3 AND .1.4. |
| | SEE THE FOLLOWING COMMENT WITH RESPECT TO LIGHTING |
| | CONTROLS. |
| | EXAMPLE: |
| | THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE IDR IS COMPLETELY BLANK. |
| | THIS IS ONE ITEM WHICH THE PLANS CLEARLY CONTAIN |
| | EXTERIOR LIGHTING YET THERE ARE NO FIXTURES ON THE |
| | IDR.?? |
| | THE PLANS INDICATE SPACE BY SPACE FROM TABLE *B*. |
| | PLEASE SEE 13-415.2.ABC.1 WHICH CLEARLY STATES THAT IS |
| | NOTE PERMITTED TO USE MORE THAN ONE METHOD. |
| | THIS REVIEWER IS OK WITH USE OF SPACE BY SPACE FOR |
| | LIGHTING PERFORMANCE LEVELS HOWEVER WE WOULD STILL NEED |
| | EXTERIOR PER 13-415.2.ABC.1.3. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) NOTE: PLEASE SEE 13-415.1.ABC.1.1, .1.2, .1.3 AND |
| | .1.4 FOR REQUIRED LIGHTING CONTROLS. |
| | ALL LIGHTING IN A BUILDING GREATER THAN 5K SQ FT SHALL |
| | CONTAIN SOME SORT OF AUTOMATED CONTROLS SO WHEN THE |
| | BUILDING IS NOT OCCUPIED THE LIGHTING. THERE ARE |
| | COUNTLESS ARTICLES ON THE ENERGY CODE IN THE STATE OF |
| | FLORIDA AS WELL AS THE REQUIREMENTS NATIONALLY IN THE |
| | IECC. |
| | THE FEDERAL CHANGES IN JULY OF 2004 IN THE INTEREST OF |
| | ENERGY CONSERVATION REQUIRED ALL STATES BY THEIR |
| | FOLLOWING CODE CYCLE TO ADOPT THE 1999 ASHAE 90.1 OR |
| | BETTER. SINCE OCTOBER 1ST, 2005 THE 2004 FBC HAS |
| | REQUIRED THIS. THIS HAS BEEN IN THE CODE FOR OVER 3 AND |
| | HALF YEARS. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN SEVERAL REVISIONS TO |
| | THE 2004 FBC SINCE ADOPTED IN OCT.2005 |
| | THE RESPONSE LETTER CONTAINS RESPONSES TO ALL OTHER |
| | COMMENTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THIS PREVIOUS COMMENT. |
| | THE RESPONSE IS BLANK? |
| | ** PLEASE CALL TO GO OVER IF NEEDED. THIS IS NOT A |
| | SEPARATE BUILDING BY DEFINITION SMALLER THAN 5K SQ FT. |
| | THE SWITCHING SHOWN ON PLANS IS DONE BY STANDARD SINGLE |
| | POLE SWITCHES ALONG WITH STANDARD 3-WAY SWITCHES. THE |
| | INFORMATION ON SHEET E.04.11 IS NOT ENOUGH FOR |
| | COMPLIANCE. THE KITCHEN IS NOT AN AREA WHICH IS EXEMPT |
| | PER THE FBC. PLEASE CALL TO GO OVER. THERE ARE |
| | SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES IN MOTION SENSORS COMPARED TO |
| | DUAL TECHNOLOGY DEVICES AND ALSO THESE SAME TYPE OF |
| | DEVICES USED FOR EGRESS WHICH WOULD BE FAIL SAFE |
| | OPERATION. |
| | |
| | 4) NOTE: PLEASE SEE PREVIOUS COMMENTS WITH RESPECT TO |
| | FBC 11-4.28.1, .2 AND .3 FOR ALL DEVICES FOR FA SYSTEM |
| | TO COMPLY WITH MINIMUM LEVELS, HEIGHTS ETC FOR ADA |
| | COMPLIANCE. |
| | THE RESPONSE MENTIONS TO SEE REVISED PLANS HOWEVER THE |
| | FA SHEET E.06 DOES NOT INDICATE THE MINIMUM LEVELS FOR |
| | STROBES AND SOUNDING DEVICES. |
| | PLEASE ALSO SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL NOTES WHICH THERE |
| | SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF MISHAP WITH THE |
| | PRINTING. SEE NOTES 17 UNDER FIRE ALARM NOTES, NOTES |
| | UNDER SEQUENCE OF OPERATION, NOTES UNDER THE SYMBOL |
| | LEGENDS WHICH HAS NOTES PRINTED OVER NOTES. MANY ITEMS |
| | CAN NOT BE READ. |
| | THESE HAVE BEEN HIGH-LIGHTED ON ONE OF THE SET OF |
| | PLANS. |
| | SHEET E.06.1 ALSO DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY OF THIS MONTHS |
| | |
| | 5) NOTE: THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WITH RESPECT TO RISER, |
| | PANELS, ETC STILL NEED COORDINATION. |
| | |
| | A) PLEASE SEE PANEL HU-2 WHICH INDICATES 125AMP OVER |
| | CURRENT PROTECTION TO A 100AMP DISCONNECT ON THE LINE |
| | SIDE OF TRANSFORMER |
| | B) PLEASE SEE TRANSFORMER EK. RISER AND PLANS NOTE THIS |
| | NEW 45KVA UNIT WILL BE REPLACING THE EXISTING 30 KVA |
| | TRANSFORMER. THIS IS OK, HOWEVER PLEASE SEE THE |
| | TRANSFORMER SCHEDULE ALONG WITH THE PRIMARY OVER |
| | CURRENT PROTECTION. |
| | THE SCHEDULE SHOWS A 45KVA TRANSFORMER HOWEVER ONLY |
| | WITH THE AMPERAGE RATING OF THE PREVIOUS 30KVA UNIT. |
| | 45KVA AT 480V IS 54.15AMPS NOT THE 36 AS LISTED ON |
| | SCHEDULE. THE 36 AS LISTED ON SCHEDULE WOULD BE A 30KVA |
| | UNIT AT 480V. |
| | THIS WILL AFFECT THE OVER CURRENT PROTECTION ON THE |
| | PRIMARY ALSO AS THIS IS NOTED AS 45AMPS. |
| | THESE ITEMS AFFECT THE POWER PANEL SCHEDULE SHEET AS |
| | WELL AS *BOTH* RISERS ON SHEET E.02. |
| | 110.3,110.14,450.3,240.4,310.16,408, 240.21 ETC |
| | |
| | 6) NOTE: PLEASE SEE 210.8B2 AS ALL 15/20AMP 120V |
| | RECEPTACLES IN KITCHEN AREAS SHALL BE GFCI/ OR GFCI |
| | PROTECTED. SEE CIRCUITS SUCH AS EK-9, EK-11 ARE TWO |
| | EXAMPLES IN WHICH NO PROTECTION IS SHOWN. THESE ARE NOT |
| | THE ONLY TWO. |
| | |
| | 7) NOTE: AS NO LIGHTING ETC IS SHOWN FOR A COMPLETE |
| | HOOD SYSTEM AND HOOD MAY BE UNDER SEPARATE PERMIT |
| | PLEASE KNOW THAT ALL LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL PER |
| | NFPA-96 SHALL BE INTERCONNECTED AND SHUT DOWN UPON |
| | ACTIVATION OF SYSTEM FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION. |
| | NO INFORMATION NOTED AT THIS TIME AND WILL NEED TO BE |
| | NOTED UNDER SEPARATE PERMIT. |
| | |
| | 8) NOTE: SHEET E.05 CONTAINS SOME NOTES FOR POSSIBLE |
| | ACCESS CONTROL. THE SYMBOL LEGEND MAKES NOTE OF |
| | POSSIBLE MAG-LOCKS ETC. |
| | PLEASE SEE NFPA-101 CHAPTER 7 FOR EGRESS CONTROLS. NO |
| | DEVICES UNDER NORMAL OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS SHALL |
| | IMPEDE THE EGRESS OUT OF ANY AREAS. SEE COMMENTS FROM |
| | FIRE MARSHAL. |
| | AS THE COMPLETE SYSTEM IS NOT DETAILED, THIS MAY BE |
| | UNDER SEPARATE PERMIT FOR LOW VOLTAGE ACCESS CONTROLS. |
| | FBC 105.1. |
| | |
| | 9) NOTE: MANY OF THE FIXTURES ARE HALF SHADED AND |
| | SYMBOL LEGEND SEEMS TO INDICATE EMERGENCY POWER. THE |
| | FIXTURE LEGEND HOWEVER DOES NOT LIST ANY BATTERY BACK |
| | UP BALLAST AS REQUIRED. |
| | PLEASE ADJUST. NFPA-101 7.8, 7.9, FBC 1006.1 |
| | PLEASE ALSO KNOW AS NOTED ABOVE, ANY EGRESS LIGHTING |
| | BEING CONTROL BY OCCUPANCY SENSOR TYPES DEVICES PER FBC |
| | 13-415.1.ABC.1, SHALL BE FAIL SAFE TYPE CONTROL DEVICES |
| | PER FBC 1006.1.2, NFPA-101 7.8.1.2.2. |
| | |
| | 10) NOTE: PLEASE COMPLETE ALL LIGHTING CIRCUITS ON |
| | PLANS AND COORDINATE WITH THE PANEL SCHEDULES. |
| | BE SURE TO SEE 7..12F FOR CIRCUITING FOR EMERGENCY AND |
| | EXIT LIGHTS. |
| | 408.4, FBC 106.1.1, 106.5. |
| | |
| | |
| | ** 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. |
