| | |
| | 1. SEE ASCE7-10 AND FBC 1609 REGARDING IMPORTANCE |
| | FACTOR. HOSPITALS HAVE A GREATER IMPORTANCE FACTOR THAN |
| | MOST BUILDINGS, YET "0.75" IS STATED AS THE IMPORTANCE |
| | FACTOR (A NUMBER WHICH TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAS NEVER BEEN |
| | USED). THAT IS NOT A CLASSIFICATION BUT IT APPEARS THAT |
| | ARCHITECT IS DESIGNING TO AN IMPORTANTCE FACTOR OF 1. |
| | IT IS NOTED THAT THIS REPAIR IS TO BE DONE IN A COVERED |
| | WALKWAY WHICH SERVES AS EMERGENCY EGRESS. |
| | |
| | FIRST, CLASSIFY THE STRUCTURES THIS WALKWAY SERVES |
| | (SITE PLAN, OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION OF EACH STRUCTURE |
| | AFFECTED). A "HOSPITAL" WOULD HAVE AN IMPORTANCE FACTOR |
| | OF III OR IV, SEE FBC 1604.5. IF BUILDINGS ARE |
| | CLASSIFIED AS A 1 OR II, BRIEFLY DESCRIBE USE TO |
| | JUSTIFY THE RISK FACTOR. |
| | |
| | IF A LESSER RISK FACTOR THAN THE HIGHEST OF THE TWO |
| | BUILDINGS IS USED FOR THIS DESIGN, PROVIDE A WRITTEN |
| | JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REDUCED IMPORTANCE FACTOR. IT |
| | WOULD APPEAR THAT THE ENTIRE EXIT PATH OF TRAVEL WOULD |
| | BE REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED FOR BOTH EXITING AND |
| | ACCESS BY EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND OTHERS. |
| | |
| | 2. EXPOSURE CLASSIFICATION APPEARS INCORRECT, SEE |
| | DEFINITION OF EXPOSURE C, FBC 1609. PROVIDE A SITE PLAN |
| | SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THIS STRUCTURE RELATIVE TO THE |
| | SITE. |
| | |
| | 3. THIS PARCEL IS LOCATED IN A SPECIAL HAZARD FLOOD |
| | ZONE. IF AVAILABLE, PLEASE PROVIDE AN ELEVATION |
| | CERTIFICATE FOR THE AFFECTED STRUCTURE (S). IF NOT |
| | AVAILABLE, A COMPLETE ANALYSIS WILL BE DONE TO |
| | DETERMINE IF THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT PER CITY |
| | OF WEST PALM BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE 9494-546(B), FBC 2010 |
| | EXISTING BUILDING 601.3. |
| | |
| | 4. IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT "ASCE CATEGORY" IS; PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE ASCE TABLE REFERENCE. IF THIS IS THE RISK |
| | FACTOR, PLEASE SEE ITEM 1. |
| | |
| | 5. PROVIDE A PRODUCT APPROVAL FOR THE ALUMINUM FASCIA |
| | IF AVAILABLE, FBC 1609, FAC9N-3. |
| | |
| | 6. REVISE PLAN TO INCLUDE CLASSIFICATION OF WORK, FBC |
| | 2010 EXISTING BUILDING 401.4. |
| | |
| | 7. PROVIDE A COPY OF THE CONTRACT FOR THIS JOB, FBC |
| | 109. |
