| | 5/16/18 |
| | |
| | AS OF 5/16/18 THE FOLLOWING LIST OF COMMENTS FROM THE |
| | 3RD REVIEW WERE NOT ADDRESSED, HOWEVER DUE TO THE |
| | URGENT NEED TO HAVE THE PERMIT ISSUED, THE CURRENT |
| | MECHANICAL PLANS AND DOCUMENTS ARE APPROVED WITH |
| | EXCEPTION, AND THE REMAINING COMMENTS LISTED BELOW ARE |
| | DEEMED TO BE PROVISOS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DESIGN |
| | PROFESSIONAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. |
| | |
| | 3RD REVIEW FBC-2017 MECHANICAL, ENERGY CONSERVATION |
| | CODE |
| | PERMIT #18020254 |
| | 5/7/2018 |
| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | THIS FOLLOW-UP (3RD) REVIEW IS BASED ON THE RESUBMITTED |
| | PLANS, DOCUMENTS, AND RESPONSE NARRATIVE BY THE |
| | ENGINEER OF RECORD. |
| | ALL PREVIOUS REVIEW COMMENTS NOT COMPLETELY RESOLVED |
| | ARE LISTED BELOW IN THEIR ORIGINAL NUMERICAL ORDER. |
| | |
| | 2) THE BTUH CAPACITY OF THE BOILER AS SHOWN IN THE |
| | ENERGY CALCULATIONS DOES NOT MATCH THE CAPACITY IN THE |
| | SCHEDULE ON SHEET M-601. |
| | |
| | 5) PLEASE INCLUDE IN THE SMOKE CONTROL OUTLINE A |
| | NARRATIVE THAT CLARIFIES THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATION OF |
| | THE SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM DURING AN ALARM AND THAT |
| | ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS: |
| | |
| | A) WILL ALL PRESSURIZATION FANS ACTIVATE DURING AN |
| | ALARM? |
| | B) HOW WILL THE PRESSURIZATIONS IN THE STAIRWELL AND |
| | ELEVATOR SHAFTS MODULATE AND BE MONITORED? WILL THE |
| | SYSTEMS BE DIGITALLY CONTROLLED USING SENSORS AND A |
| | DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL? I AM NOT SEEING ANY CONTROLS IN |
| | THE FA DRAWINGS, OR ANY CONTROL DIAGRAMS FOR SMOKE |
| | CONTROL SEQUENCING. |
| | D) WHAT IS THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR THE DOA UNITS |
| | DURING AN ALARM PERTAINING TO THE FLOOR OF INCIDENT AND |
| | THE UNINVOLVED FLOORS ABOVE AND BELOW? |
| | E) WHAT IS THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR THE FIRE/SMOKE |
| | DAMPERS AT THE SHAFTS ON EACH FLOOR? |
| | F) WHAT SYSTEMS WILL BE CONNECTED TO STANDBY POWER? |
| | G) WHAT IS THE RESPONSE TIME OF THE FANS, DAMPERS, |
| | ETC.? |
| | H) WHAT WILL BE THE DURATION OF THE OPERATION? |
| | I) CLARIFY HOW SMOKE REMOVAL WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED. THE |
| | NARRATIVE RESPONSE TO THIS COMMENT INDICATES REMOVAL BY |
| | NATURAL MEANS- OPERABLE WINDOWS IN ACCORDING WITH |
| | SECTION 403.4.7 ITEM #1. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PLANS DO |
| | NOT PROVIDE A SCHEDULE FOR THE WINDOWS ON THE BUILDING |
| | PERIMETER WHICH IS NEEDED TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE. |
| | J) PROVIDE CONTROL DIAGRAMS ON THE PLANS SHOWING THE |
| | SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR THE SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 5 CONTINUED) CONCERNING THE "EXIT VESTIBULE" |
| | VENTILATION, THE ENGINEER IS STATING IN THE NARRATIVE |
| | THAT THE "VESTIBULES" ARE NOT REQUIRED, HOWEVER THE |
| | "EXIT VESTIBULES" ARE SHOWING ON ALL THE RESIDENTIAL |
| | FLOORS AT STAIRS #235-935. PLEASE REFER TO SECTION |
| | 909.20.3.3 FOR VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR VESTIBULES. |
| | BASED ON THAT REQUIREMENT, IT SEEMS POSSIBLE THAT |
| | DEFINING THESE AREAS |
| | |
| | AS "VESTIBULES" MAY BE INCORRECT. FURTHER, I AM NOT |
| | SEEING ANY REFERENCES OR DEFINITIONS IN THE BUILDING |
| | CODE FOR "EXIT VESTIBULES". |
| | |
| | 5 CONTINUED) SHEET M-106: CLARIFY WHY SMOKE DETECTORS |
| | ARE TO BE INSTALLED ADJACENT TO THE STAIRWELL FANS. |
| | WHICH CODE, STANDARD, OR ENGINEERING ANALYSIS DOES THIS |
| | REQUIREMENT COME FROM? PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REQUIREMENT |
| | IN SECTION 606.2.1 IS FOR AIR HANDLING SYSTEMS. |
| | |
| | 5 CONTINUED) SHEET M-601: NOTE #9 SPECIFYING A SECOND |
| | DRIVE BELT HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE NOTES UNDER EACH |
| | SMOKE CONTROL FAN. CLARIFY IS THE FANS WILL BE UL 705 |
| | LISTED AND LABELED AS POWER VENTILATORS. |
| | |
| | 5 CONTINUED) CLASS 1 MOTORIZED DAMPERS REQUIRED ON |
| | STAIRWAY AND ELEVATOR RELIEF VENTS, AND ON O/A AND |
| | EXHAUST DUCTS AT THE SHAFT PENETRATIONS- SECTION |
| | C403.2.4.3 |
| | |
| | 7) SHEET M-401: PLEASE INCLUDE THE EXHAUST CLEARANCE |
| | DISTANCES TO ADJOINING GRADE AND PROPERTY LINES PER |
| | SECTION 501.3.1(2). |
| | |
| | 9) CONCERNING THE KEF INLINE FAN, PLEASE CLARIFY IF THE |
| | GREASE EXHAUST DUCT IS TO BE FIRE-WRAPPED. IF SO, THE |
| | FAN MUST BE IN A FIRE RATED ROOM EQUAL TO RATING OF THE |
| | WRAPPING- SECTION 506.5.1.2 |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1) MECHANICAL ROOM DOORS #241 & 349, 449, 549, 649, |
| | 749, 849, & 949 MUST BE NON-COMBUSTIBLE- SECTION |
| | C403.2.9.2 & SECTION 602.2.1. |
| | |
| | 2) M-601: MAKEUP AIR FOR THE HOOD CANNOT BE USED AS |
| | COMBUSTION AIR FOR THE COOKING APPLIANCES. THAT AIR IS |
| | SOLEY FOR REPLACEMENT OF EXHAUSTED AIR- SECTION 304.9.1 |
| | PLEASE SEE SECTION 304.9.3: WHERE COMBUSTION AIR IS |
| | PROVIDED BY MECHANICAL VENTILATION, THE SYSTEM SHALL |
| | PROVIDE THE COMBUSTION AIR RATE IN ADDITION TO THE |
| | REQUIRED VENTILATION AIR. THE RATE SHALL BE 0.35 CFMS |
| | PER |
| | |
| | 1000 BTUH. |
| | |
| | 3) DEFERRED SUBMITTALS: 9) THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF |
| | DEFERRED SUBMITTALS FOR THE MECHANICAL PERMIT THAT WILL |
| | REQUIRE SHOP DRAWING APPROVAL BY THE ENGINEER OF |
| | RECORD: |
| | |
| | A) SMOKE CONTROL FANS. |
| | B) FIRE AND FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS. |
| | C) BAROMETRIC DAMPERS |
| | D) DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS |
| | E) AC ROOF AND DUCT STANDS, WALL BRACKETS |
| | F) EXHAUST AND OUTSIDE AIR LOUVERS |
| | G) PIPING INSULATIONS |
| | H) ACCESS PANELS |
| | I) GENERATOR |
| | J) COMMERCIAL CLOTHES DRYERS |
| | K) COOKING APPLIANCES |
| | L) DUCT FIRE WRAPPING |
| | M) FIRESTOPPING AND FIRE CAULKING |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE INSERT |
| | CORRECTED PLAN SHEETS INTO THE SETS, REMOVE THE |
| | PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED SHEETS AND MARK VOID ON THEM, AND |
| | KEEP THEM WITH THE SUBMITTALS. |
