| 2016-10-12 09:01:04 | 2ND ELECTRICAL REVIEW NOTES |
| | REVIEWED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH: |
| | 5TH EDITION FBC 2014, 2010 NFPA 72 & NFPA 70 2011 (NEC) |
| | |
| | BELOW PLEASE FIND A LIST OF REQUIRED CORRECTIONS. |
| | ADDITIONAL CORRECTIONS MAY BE REQUIRED AFTER REVIEW OF |
| | SUBMITTED CORRECTIONS. |
| | |
| | MR. PICKERING, I HAVE GONE OVER YOUR RESUBMITTAL AND |
| | AGREE WITH ALL YOUR RESPONSES EXCEPT NUMBER 8. IN MY |
| | INITIAL REVIEW I ASKED THAT THE PULL STATION BE |
| | RELOCATED OR THAT YOU ADD A PULL STATION TO COMPLY WITH |
| | THE REQUIREMENTS OF NFPA 72, SECTION 17.14.6 WHICH |
| | CLEARLY STATES THAT THERE SHALL BE A MANUAL PULL |
| | STATION WITHIN 5? OF EVERY EXIT. THIS IS SO CRUCIAL TO |
| | THE INTENT OF LIFE SAFETY THAT IN THE FOLLOWING |
| | SECTION, NFPA 72, SECTION 17.14.7 LARGER OPENINGS ARE |
| | REQUIRED TO HAVE A DEVICE AT BOTH ENDS AND ALSO WITHIN |
| | 5? OF THE OPENING. |
| | PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS OUR POLICY TO HAVE ALL FIRE |
| | ALARM WORK PERFORMED UNDER A PERMIT OF ITS OWN AND NOT |
| | AS A PART OF THE ELECTRICAL PERMIT SUB-PERMIT. I |
| | RESEARCHED THE DETAILS OF YOUR RESPONSE AND FOUND THAT |
| | THE INITIAL BUILDING PERMIT FOR THESE PREMISES WAS |
| | APPLIED FOR IN 2008 UNDER PERMIT NUMBER 08500795 WHICH |
| | WAS FOR SOME REASON REVOKED AND LATER IN 2010 RE-ISSUED |
| | AS PERMIT NUMBER 10010548. IT WAS NOT UNTIL 2013 THAT |
| | AN ELECTRICAL SUB PERMIT WAS ISSUED (13120581). I FAIL |
| | TO FIND A FIRE ALARM PERMIT. |
| | IN SUMMATION, I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO ALLOW YOU TO |
| | CIRCUMVENT THE CODE. MY POSITION IS ONLY TO MAKE |
| | CERTAIN THAT THE CODE IS FOLLOWED. FURTHERMORE, A PRIOR |
| | REVIEW APPROVED OR OTHERWISE, HAD THERE BEEN ONE IS NOT |
| | AN APPROVAL OR AUTHORIZATION TO VIOLATE OR CIRCUMVENT |
| | THE CODE. |
| | IN THIS CASE, WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO DESIGN OR REDESIGN |
| | THE SYSTEM, YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF EITHER TO RELOCATE THE |
| | EXISTING STATION TO A POINT MIDWAY BETWEEN BOTH EXITS |
| | OR SIMPLY ADD A DEVICE TO ASCERTAIN COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, FOR A QUICKER RETURN ON YOUR |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL, PLEASE PROVIDE A RESPONSE LETTER |
| | (NARRATIVE) ADDRESSING EACH ITEM AND THE PAGE NUMBER |
| | WHERE THE CORRECTIONS APPEAR ALONG WITH THE STANDARD |
| | CITY RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE INSERT |
| | CORRECTED PAGES INTO THE SUBMITTAL PACKAGE. MARK VOID |
| | AND LEAVE THE PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED SHEETS FOR |
| | COMPARATIVE REVIEW. CLOUDING THE CHANGES WILL BE |
| | GREATLY APPRECIATED. |
| | |
| | IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE DON?T HESITATE TO |
| | CONTACT ME DIRECTLY. |
