| | 1) SHEET FP-1 UNDER THE HEADING OF SCOPE OF WORK AND |
| | GENERAL NOTE # 1 BOTH INDICATE THE INSTALLATION OF A |
| | PARTIAL FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN A CONGREGATE CARE |
| | FACILITY. IN THE TITLE BLOCK THE USE OF THIS BUILDING |
| | 1ST FLOOR A BIRTHING CENTER AND THE 2ND FLOOR AN R-3 |
| | SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. PLEASE CORRECT. 107.2.1.2. |
| | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 2) THE FIRE CHIEFS QUESTION AS TO WHY ONLY A PORTION OF |
| | THE 1ST FLOOR IS BEING FIRE SPRINKLERED. THE DESIGNER |
| | OF RECORD SHOULD PROVIDE A LETTER ON THEIR LETTERHEAD |
| | EXPLAINING WHY. THE 2ND FLOOR OCCUPANCY IS A SINGLE R-3 |
| | DWELLING UNIT. BEING IN A MIXED USE BUILDING THE |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE- BUILDING CODE IS USED. IN A |
| | MIXED USE BUILDING UNDER THE 2017 FBC-B SECTION |
| | 903.2.8.1 WILL REQUIRE AN AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH 903.3.1.3 WHICH IS A NFPA 13D SPRINKLER |
| | SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | THE SECOND FLOOR HAS ONLY ONE MEANS OF EGRESS PLUS THE |
| | REQUIRED EGRESS WINDOWS. THE CODE 2017 FBC-B TABLE |
| | 707.3.10 ALSO REQUIRES A 2 HR. FLOOR / CEILING |
| | ASSEMBLY. THERE IS ALSO RADIANT CEILING DAMPERS WITHIN |
| | THE FLOOR /CEILING ASSEMBLY UNDER THE R-3 PORTION OF |
| | THE BUILDING, WHERE FIRE ALARMS DEVICES ARE ALSO |
| | INSTALLED AS WELL AS THE STAIRWELL AND SECOND STORY |
| | LIVING QUARTERS. |
| | |
| | WE TOOK THIS CASE TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL ASKING HIM |
| | THE CODE REALLY DOESN?T STATE WHERE THE R-13D |
| | SPRINKLERS ARE TO BE INSTALLED IN THE 2ND STORY PORTION |
| | OF THE BUILDING OR IN THE FIRE RATED FLOOR/ CEILING |
| | ASSEMBLY? HE AGREED IT WOULD MAKE MORE SINCE TO INSTALL |
| | THE SPRINKLERS IN THE 2ND FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLY TO |
| | HELP PROTECT THE 2 HOUR FIRE RATED ASSEMBLY. |
| | |
| | A LETTER WITH SIMILAR NARRATIVE SHOULD BE SUBMITTED |
| | FROM THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE NFPA |
| | 13D FOUND IN THE 2017 FBC-B SECTION 903.3.13 STATES THE |
| | SYSTEM SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 13 D. |
| | NFPA 13D SECTION 6.5 DEALS WITH COMMON SUPPLY PIPES |
| | WHERE SERVE BOTH FIRE SPRINKLERS AND DOMESTIC USE, THEY |
| | SHALL COMPLY WITH 6.5.2 AND 6.5.3. |
| | |
| | 6.5.2 IN COMMON WATER SUPPLY CONECTIONS SERVING MORE |
| | THAN ONE DWELLING UNIT, 5 GPM SHALL BE ADDED TO THE |
| | FIRE SPRINKLER DEMAND TO DETERMINE THE SIZE OF COMMON |
| | PIPING AND THE SIZEE OF TOTAL WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS |
