| | |
| | ELECTRICAL REVIEW STATUS: DENIED, SEE COMMENTS BELOW. |
| | |
| | PREVIOUS COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED |
| | SATISFACTORILY HAVE BEEN NOTED AS CORRECTED. ITEMS |
| | REMAINING HAVE FURTHER COMMENTS IN PARENTHESES. |
| | |
| | 1. PROVIDE ACCURATE LOAD CALCULATION INCLUDING ALL |
| | LOADS. THE LOAD CALCULATION PROVIDED USED A DEMAND |
| | FACTOR FOR EACH UNIT, AND THEN USED THOSE NUMBERS TO |
| | APPLY A SECOND DEMAND FACTOR FOR MULTI-FAMILY |
| | DWELLINGS, WHICH IS NOT PERMITTED. ADDITIONALLY, I DO |
| | NOT SEE ANY HOUSE PANEL LOADS ADDED. WILL THERE BE ANY |
| | HOUSE LOADS INCLUDING LIGHTING OF EXTERIOR? FBC |
| | 107.2.1; NEC 220.40 (NEC 220.83 CANNOT BE USED FOR THIS |
| | PROJECT, IT IS ONLY FOR A ONE FAMILY DWELLING WHERE |
| | LOAD IS TO BE ADDED. PROVIDE ACCURATE LOAD CALCULATION |
| | AS REQUESTED.) |
| | 2. CORRECTED. |
| | 3. BASED ON THE LOADS PROVIDED, THE PROPOSED SERVICE IS |
| | NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE LOADS. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC |
| | 215.2, 215.3, 220.40 (BASED ON MY CALCULATION FROM THE |
| | LOADS PROVIDED ON PLAN, THE MINIMUM SERVICE WOULD NEED |
| | TO HAVE A CAPACITY OF AT LEAST 886 AMPS. SERVICE |
| | DESIGNED IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE LOADS SPECIFIED.) |
| | 4. PROVIDE ACCURATE RISER DIAGRAM. BASED ON SITE VISIT, |
| | THE EXISTING MAIN IS 400 AMPS, NOT 800. IS THE PROPOSED |
| | SERVICE JUST A DISCONNECT, OR DOES IT HAVE BREAKERS |
| | THAT FEED THE METER STACKS? HOW ARE THE METER STACKS |
| | FED? IS THERE A GUTTER WITH TAPS? WHAT IS THE PHYSICAL |
| | LOCATION OF ALL THE METERS? RISER PROVIDED DOES NOT |
| | HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION. PROVIDE CLARIFICATION. FBC |
| | 107.2.1; NEC 215.5 (MANY OF THE QUESTIONS IN THIS |
| | PARAGRAPH ARE NOT ANSWERED WITH YOUR RESPONSE TO ?SEE |
| | E-1?. PROVIDE DETAILS AS REQUESTED.) |
| | 5. IF METER BANKS ARE ALL TAPPED FROM 800 AMP MAIN, |
| | PROVIDE LOAD CALCULATION FOR EACH SET OF FEEDERS TO |
| | CONFIRM THE FEEDER IS SIZED ADEQUATELY. NEC 215.2, |
| | 220.40 (LOAD CALCULATION TO EACH OF THE 8 METER BANKS |
| | IS NOT CORRECT AND WIRE IS NOT SIZED PROPERLY.) |
| | 6. GROUNDING ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR SPECIFIED IS NOT SIZED |
| | PROPERLY. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 250.66 |
| | 7. SHOW LOCATION OF SERVICE ON PLAN. FBC 107.2.1 (NOT |
| | CORRECTED.) |
| | 8. SHOW LOCATION OF NEW CU UNITS ON PLAN. PROVIDE GFCI |
| | PROTECTED OUTLET FOR SERVICING OF A/C EQUIPMENT PER |
| | CODE. NEC 210.63; FBC 107.2.1 (NOT PROVIDED) |
| | 9. PROVIDE COPY OF SIGNED CONTRACT FOR ELECTRICAL WORK, |
| | SHOWING TOTAL VALUE OF ALL WORK INCLUDING MATERIALS AND |
| | LABOR. THE ESTIMATE PROVIDED IS TOO LOW AND DOES NOT |
| | REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF WORK REQUIRED FOR THIS PROJECT. |
| | FBC 109.3 (CONTRACT PROVIDED DOES NOT INCLUDE WORK TO |
| | SERVICE. PROVIDE CORRECTION) |
| | 10. PROVIDE INTERSYSTEM BONDING TERMINATION POINT AT |
| | SERVICE (SHOW ON PLAN). THIS IS NOT A WIRE, BUT AN |
| | ACTUAL TERMINATION POINT. SEE CODE. NEC 250.94 (NOT |
| | SHOWN ON PLAN) |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENT: |
| | |
| | 11. PROVIDE SPECS FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT TO CONFIRM |
| | STATED DEMAND IS ACCURATE. NEC 110.3, 220; FBC 107.2.1 |
| | 12. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT SOME OF THE COMMENTS HAVE |
| | NOT BEEN ADDRESSED FOR TWO REVIEWS. IF UPON THE THIRD |
| | REVIEW, IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REJECT THE SUBMITTED PLAN |
| | A THIRD TIME FOR THE SAME REASONS, AN ADDITIONAL PLAN |
| | REVIEW IS REQUIRED. FLORIDA STATUTES STATE: WITH |
| | RESPECT TO EVALUATION OF DESIGN PROFESSIONALS? |
| | DOCUMENTS, IF A LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINDS IT NECESSARY, IN |
| | ORDER TO ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FLORIDA BUILDING |
| | CODE AND ISSUE A PERMIT, TO REJECT DESIGN DOCUMENTS |
| | REQUIRED BY THE CODE THREE OR MORE TIMES FOR FAILURE TO |
| | CORRECT A CODE VIOLATION SPECIFICALLY AND CONTINUOUSLY |
| | NOTED IN EACH REJECTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |
| | EGRESS, FIRE PROTECTION, STRUCTURAL STABILITY, ENERGY, |
| | ACCESSIBILITY, LIGHTING, VENTILATION, ELECTRICAL, |
| | MECHANICAL, PLUMBING, AND GAS SYSTEMS, OR OTHER |
| | REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED BY RULE OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING |
| | COMMISSION ADOPTED PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 120, THE LOCAL |
| | GOVERNMENT SHALL IMPOSE, EACH TIME AFTER THE THIRD SUCH |
| | REVIEW THE PLANS ARE REJECTED FOR THAT CODE VIOLATION, |
| | A FEE OF FOUR TIMES THE AMOUNT OF THE PROPORTION OF THE |
| | PERMIT FEE ATTRIBUTED TO PLANS REVIEW. FS 553.80(2)(B) |
| | |
| | END OF COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | PLEASE NOTE: SUBMITTAL OF ADDITIONAL AND/OR REVISED |
| | MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN NEW PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS. WHEN |
| | RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RESUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, INSERT CORRECTED PAGES |
| | INTO THE ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL AND REMOVE OR VOID THE |
| | PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED SHEETS. |
| | |
| | SINCERELY, |
