| | MOST LICENSING REQUIRED FOR DESIGN PROFESSIONALS WILL |
| | EXPIRE ON 2/28/09. PLEASE BE SURE TO UPDATE AS THIS |
| | COULD DELAY ISSUANCE IF PERMIT/PLANS HAVE NOT BEEN |
| | ISSUED BY THAT DATE. THIS IS NOTED FOR INFORMATION ONLY |
| | AS THE LICENSING OF THE DESIGNER AND FIRM IS CURRENT AT |

| | |
| | 4) NOTE: PLEASE BE SURE COMPLIANCE WITH FBC CHAPTER 13 |
| | IS MET. THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS WHICH WILL BE LISTED |
| | BELOW. PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE OF COMMENTS FROM OTHER |
| | TRADES AS THERE ARE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE BUILDING |
| | WHICH ARE MISSING FROM THE INPUT DATE REPORT OF THE |
| | SUBMITTED ENERGY CALCULATIONS. SOME OF THESE WILL BE |
| | NOTED BY THIS REVIEWER FOR INFORMATION AS SOME OF THESE |
| | ITEMS AFFECT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OR HAVE DIRECT |
| | CORRELATION. |
| | SOME EXAMPLES WILL BE GIVEN AS A BENEFIT HOWEVER THEY |
| | ARE IN NO WAY ALL POSSIBLE ITEMS WHICH DO NOT |
| | COORDINATE WITH PLANS. THE INPUT DATA REPORT WILL BE |
| | NOTED AS IDR BELOW. |
| | |
| | FOR EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE FBC 13-411.1.ABC.2 FOR MINIMUM |
| | PIPING INSULATION. THE PLANS DO CONTAIN ELECTRIC HOT |
| | WATER SYSTEMS WHICH REQUIRED MINIMUM INSULATION. THE |
| | IDR IS COMPLETELY BLANK FOR THIS ITEM. |
| | |
| | FOR EXAMPLE: THE IDR FOR LIST CARPET AND RUBBER PADDING |
| | FOR ALL AREAS. THE MAIN ELECTRICAL ROOM AND OTHER AREAS |
| | ARE NOT PERMITTED TO CONTAIN CARPET PER OTHER SECTIONS |
| | OF THE FBC AS WELL AS THE NEC. IT IS PERMITTED TO |
| | CREATE SPACES WITHIN ZONES. PLEASE SEE COMMENTS BELOW |
| | WITH RESPECT TO THE NEC REQUIREMENTS OF THESE SPACES. |
| | |
| | FOR EXAMPLE: THE IDR FOR EXTERIOR LIGHTING IS NOT |
| | COMPLETE. THE IDR ONLY CONTAINS 24-42WATT FIXTURES FOR |
| | THE EXTERIOR. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WHEN THE PLANS |
| | CLEARLY INDICATE MORE FIXTURES WITH HIGHER WATTAGES. |
| | PLEASE ADJUST. |
| | ONE TYPE OF FIXTURE ALONE IS THE *P1* FIXTURE WHICH IS |
| | 400WATTS. THERE ARE NOT 400WA FIXTURES LISTED ON THE |
| | IDR. |
| | **THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL OTHERS. |
| | |
| | FOR EXAMPLE: ALL LIGHTING ON THE IDR FOR INTERIOR IS |
| | NOTED AS MANUAL ON/OFF. THIS DOES NOT COORDINATE WITH |
| | PLANS. |
| | |
| | *** AS NOTED ABOVE THESE ARE SOME ITEMS GIVEN AS A |
| | BENEFIT. PLEASE CALL TO GO OVER WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR |
| | COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 5) NOTE: AS NOTED ABOVE IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO HAVE ANY |
| | CARPET OR COMBUSTIBLES IN THE ELECTRICAL ROOM OR SPACES |

| | |
| | 6) NOTE: PLEASE INCLUDE NOTES FOR REQUIRED SIGNAGE PER |
| | 110.16. |
| | |
| | 7) NOTE: PLEASE SPECIFY TIME CLOCK AS NOTED FOR SOME |
| | EXTERIOR LIGHTING SUCH AS SIGNS. ANY TIME CLOCKS FOR |
| | EXTERIOR SHALL BE ASTRONOMICAL AND ARE REQUIRED TO |
| | CONTAIN A MINIMUM OF 10HR BATTERY BACK UP. |
| | MANY CONTAIN A LONGER BACK UP FOR PROGRAMMING THAN THE |
| | MINIMUM 10HRS HOWEVER AS LONG AS THE MINIMUM IS MET |
| | THIS WOULD BE OK. |
| | |
| | 8) NOTE: PLEASE PROVIDE WORST CASE VOLTAGE DROP FOR |
| | FEEDERS AND BRANCH CIRCUITS. |
| | PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS NEEDS TO SHOW THE ENTIRE FEED |
| | THRU FROM THE SOURCE TO THE END USE. THE CODE REQUIRES |
| | A MAXIMUM ON THE ENTIRE RUN NOT FROM A PANEL TO THE END |
| | DEVICE ON A CIRCUIT. THIS MAY GREATLY AFFECT FEEDERS OR |
| | BRANCH CIRCUIT CONDUCTORS. |
| | PLEASE SEE 13-413.1ABC.1. |
| | |
| | 9) NOTE: PLEASE PLACE NOTES ON PLANS AS REQUIRED PER |
| | 13-413.ABC.2, .2.1 AND .2.2. THE WORDING AS STATED IN |
| | THE FBC IS ACCEPTABLE. THIS WAS CONFIRMED WITH FLORIDA |
| | BUILDING COMMISSION/DCA. |
| | |
| | 10) NOTE: PLEASE INCLUDE EFFICIENCY RATINGS OF MOTORS |
| | WHICH SHALL MEET 13-414.1.ABC.1.1. ( SEE NOTES FOR |
| | ENERGY CALCULATIONS) |
| | AS SOME PLANS WERE NOT SUBMITTED SOME ITEMS SUCH AS ANY |
| | POSSIBLE MOTORS FOR IRRIGATION MAY OR MAY NOT BE NEEDED |
| | TO BE INCLUDED. THIS WILL DEPEND ON HOW SYSTEM MAY BE |
| | DESIGNED. |
| | ** THIS IS NOTED FOR INFORMATION |
| | |
| | 11) NOTE: PLEASE PROVIDE MANUFACTURES SPECS/CUT SHEETS |
| | FOR THE PROPOSED ROOF TOP UNITS WHICH STATES THE GFI |
| | RECEPTACLES ARE FED FROM UNITS. |
| | WHERE IS THE NEUTRAL BEING DERIVED? IF THIS EQUIPMENT |
| | IS FED BY A 3-POLE BREAKER WITH NO NEUTRAL THEN THE GFI |
| | MUST BE OBTAINING THE NEUTRAL AT SOME POINT. |
| | IF THERE ARE TRANSFORMERS, THEN PLEASE INCLUDE THE |
| | GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY SEPARATELY DERIVED |
| | NEUTRAL. |
| | 250.20 ETC |
| | |
| | 12) NOTE: PLEASE KNOW THE LOCATION OF THE SERVICE MEANS |
| | OF DISCONNECT IS LOCATED TOO FAR INSIDE THE BUILDING. |
| | IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT |
| | PERSONNEL OR OTHERS MAY NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE |
| | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. BASED ON THE PLANS THERE ARE NO |
| | DOORS DIRECTLY FROM OUTSIDE TO THIS ROOM. IN FACT THE |
| | PLANS SHOW MULTIPLE DOORS IN ORDER TO ACCESS ELECTRICAL |
| | EQUIPMENT. THIS BUILDING IS NOT SPRINKLED WHICH IS A |
| | HIGHER HAZARD. |
| | PLEASE ALSO KNOW THAT BASED ON RISER AS SHOWN THERE ARE |
| | ALSO UNPROTECTED CONDUCTORS INSIDE THE BUILDING WHICH |
| | IS NOT PERMITTED BASED ON THE AMOUNT AS SHOWN. |

| | THESE ARE ALSO NOT READILY ACCESSIBLE BASED ON THE |
| | PLANS SUBMITTED. |
| | |
| | 13) NOTE: PLEASE CLARIFY THE SYMBOL ON THE PLANS SHOWN |
| | ON THE PLANS IN THE MAIN ELECTRICAL ROOM. THIS SEEMS TO |
| | BE A TYPICAL SYMBOL FOR A TRANSFORMER HOWEVER BASED ON |
| | THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEING PROVIDED THERE IS NO NEED |
| | FOR ANY SUCH DEVICE. |
| | IF THIS WAS A TRANSFORMER BASED ON LOCATION IT WOULD |
| | NOT MEET 110.26. WHAT IS THIS ? |
| | |
| | 14) NOTE: PLEASE SEE 250.6,250.524. THE RISER INDICATES |
| | AN EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR FROM FPL TO THE FIRST |
| | MEANS OF DISCONNECT WHICH IS NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE BE |
| | SURE TO KEEP IN MIND COMMENT #12 ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO |
| | MAIN(S). |
| | |
| | 15) NOTE: BASED ON THE PLANS AND THE SIZE OF THE |
| | SATELLITE UNDER FEDERAL CODE OF REGULATION THE UNIT |
| | ITSELF IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE PERMITTED HOWEVER ANY |
| | PENETRATIONS DO FALL UNDER THE BUILDING CODE AS WELL AS |
| | THE NEC. ( NO FIRE RATINGS HOWEVER SEE POSSIBLE |
| | COMMENTS FROM BUILDING REVIEW) |
| | ** THIS IS NOTED FOR INFORMATION. |
| | |
| | 16) NOTE: THE PLANS ARE MISSING THE CANOPY PLANS WHICH |
| | WAS NOTED ABOVE HOWEVER BASED ON THE ELECTRICAL PLANS |
| | THERE WILL BE SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ITEMS IN THIS |
| | STRUCTURE. WILL THIS BE CONSIDERED A SEPARATE BUILDING |
| | BY DEFINITION OF THE FBC? IF SO THIS WILL AFFECT |
| | SEVERAL ASPECTS OF THE PLANS INCLUDING INSPECTIONS. |
| | PLEASE KNOW THAT ANY STRUCTURAL STEEL AS WELL AS |
| | FOUNDATION STEEL SHALL BE BONDED/PART OF THE ELECTRICAL |
| | SYSTEM FROM THE MAIN BANK BUILDING AS THESE SYSTEM MOST |
| | CERTAINLY CROSS. |
| | 250.50, 250.90-250.104. |
| | THERE IS A NEED TO CLEAR UP WHEN THIS STRUCTURE IS |
| | GOING TO BE DONE. PLEASE SEE NOTES FROM OTHER TRADES AS |
| | THIS WILL AFFECT PERMITTING WITH MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS |
| | FOR THE SAME BUILDING/SITE. LETTERS OF UNDERSTANDING |
| | BETWEEN SEPARATE CONTRACTORS WILL BE REQUIRED AS PLANS |
| | NOTES MENTIONS THIS WILL BE DONE BY A SEPARATE |
| | CONTRACTOR. |

| | FBC 106.1.1,106.1.2, 106.3.5.1.2, 106.5. FOR CLARITY, |
| | COORDINATION, MINIMUM AND RECORD PLANS. |
| | |
| | 17) NOTE: PLEASE SEE 220,230.42,215.3 ETC OF THE NEC. |
| | PLEASE SHOW ALL LOADS FOR BUILDING INCLUDING THAT OF |
| | ALL CONTINUOUS LOADS. |
| | PLEASE SEE 422.13 AS THE WATER HEATER APPEARS TO BE A |
| | STORAGE TYPE UNIT. THIS REQUIRES THE LOAD TO BE SHOWN |
| | AS A CONTINUOUS LOAD UNDER THE 2005 NEC. |
| | PLEASE REVISE CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | 18) NOTE: PLEASE COORDINATE PLANS FOR ALL CIRCUITING |
| | WITH THE SUBMITTED PANEL SCHEDULES. AN EXAMPLE IS THE |
| | SITE LIGHTING PLANS WHICH INDICATES THE WACHOVIA SIGN |
| | AS CIRCUIT A-36, HOWEVER BASED ON THE PANEL SCHEDULE |
| | THIS IS A CIRCUIT FOR THE BLOWER VAT. |
| | ** THIS IS ONE NOTED AS A BENEFIT. |

| | FBC 106.1.1 FOR CLARITY AND COORDINATION. |
| | |
| | 19) NOTE: PLEASE CLARIFY THE TYPE OF DEVICES SHOWN FOR |
| | MANY ROOMS FOR LIGHTING CONTROLS. THE SYMBOL LEGEND |
| | STATES *MOTION SENSORS*. ARE THESE MOTION SENSORS OR |
| | OCCUPANCY SENSORS? |

| | 22) NOTE: PLANS STATES TO MOUNT A RECEPTACLE ABOVE |
| | CEILING FOR THE * DYE PACK UNIT*. AS THIS UNIT IS NOT |
| | HARD WIRED BASED ON THE RECEPTACLE REQUIREMENTS IT IS |
| | IMPORTANT TO SEE NEC 400.8(5). CORDS ARE NOT PERMITTED |
| | ABOVE SUSPENDED CEILINGS. |
