| | |
| | 1) SHEET S-01: THE CHILLER ATTACHMENT DETAIL INDICATES |
| | THE CLEARANCE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ROOF SURFACE AND THE |
| | NEW CHILLER IS INSUFFICIENT PER TABLE 1509.6.5 FBC-14 |
| | BUILDING. IF THE CONTRACTOR AND DESIGN PROFESSIONAL'S |
| | INTENTION IS TO SOMEHOW PROVE THAT THE CURRENT DESIGN |
| | IS ADEQUATE OR EQUAL TO WHAT IS REQUIRED BY CODE, THEN |
| | AN ALTERNATE DESIGN PROPOSAL WOULD HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED |
| | TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 104.11 |
| | WPB AMENDMENTS TO THE FBC: |
| | |
| | 104.11 ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS, DESIGN AND METHODS OF |
| | CONSTRUCTION A N D E Q U I P M E N T. T H E PROVISIONS |

| | Y T H I S C O D E , P R O V I D E D T H A T A N Y S U C |
| | H A L T E R N A T I V E H A S BEEN APPROVED. AN |
| | ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL, DESIGN OR METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION |
| | SHALL BE APPROVED WHERE THE BUILDING OFFICIAL FINDS |
| | THAT THE PROPOSED DESIGN IS SATISFACTORY AND COMPLIES |
| | WITH THE INTENT OF THE |
| | PROVISIONS OF THIS CODE, AND THAT THE MATERIAL, METHOD |
| | OR WORK OFFERED IS, FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED, AT LEAST |
| | THE EQUIVALENT OF THAT PRESCRIBED IN THIS CODE IN |
| | QUALITY, STRENGTH, EFFECTIVENESS, FIRE RESISTANCE, |
| | DURABILITY AND SAFETY. WHEN ALTERNATE LIFE SAFETY |
| | SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED, THE SFPE ENGINEERING GUIDE TO |
| | PERFORMANCE-BASED FIRE PROTECTION ANALYSIS AND DESIGN |
| | OF BUILDINGS, OR OTHER METHODS APPROVED BY THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL MAY BE USED. THE BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL |
| | REQUIRE THAT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OR PROOF BE SUBMITTED |
| | TO SUBSTANTIATE |
| | ANY CLAIM MADE REGARDING THE ALTERNATIVE. |
| | |
| | 2) COMMENT #1B FROM THE 1ST REVIEW HAS NOT BEEN FULLY |
| | ADDRESSED. THE CHILLER DETAIL DOES NOT INDICATE HOW THE |
| | CHILLER WILL BE ANCHORED OR FASTENED TO THE NEW STEEL |
| | BEAM TO RESIST WIND PRESSURES- SECTION 301.15, AND DOES |
| | NOT PROVIDE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE CHILLER. |
