| | WPB- WEST PALM BEACH AMENDMENTS TO THE FBC SIXTH |
| | EDITION 2017 |
| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. THE GAS PLANS FOR THE |
| | MASTER PERMIT- 21020294 WERE APPROVED WITH A PROVISO |
| | REQUIRING SEPARATE PERMITS AND PLANS FOR INSTALLATION |
| | OF THE COFFEE ROASTERS, GAS CONNECTIONS, AND EXHAUST |
| | VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE COMMENTS BELOW ARE ADDRESSING |
| | THE PLANS AND SUBMITTALS UNDER THIS SEPARATE PERMIT. |
| | |
| | 1) GAS PIPING AND PRESSURES: ACCORDING TO THE SUBMITTED |
| | COFFEE ROASTER SPECS, THE GAS INPUT PRESSURE IS 19.68 |
| | INCHES WATER COLUMN FOR THE G90, AND 4.0 IN. W.C. FOR |
| | THE L12. THE GAS RISER DRAWING UNDER PERMIT 21020294 |
| | SHOWS ONE REGULATOR CONTROLLING THE GAS FLOW TO BOTH |
| | ROASTERS, HOWEVER BASED ON THE DIFFERING INPUT |
| | PRESSURES, A REGULATOR IS REQUIRED FOR EACH ROASTER. |
| | PLEASE SUBMIT A REVISED RISER DRAWING SHOWING THE |
| | LOCATIONS OF THE REGULATORS. SUBMIT SPECS FOR THE |
| | REGULATORS MARKED UP OR HIGHLIGHTED TO SHOW THE |
| | SELECTED MODELS AND INPUT AND OUTPUT PIPE SIZES AND |
| | PRESSURES- SECTION 410.2 FBC FG. A) THE SUBMITTED LABEL |
| | PHOTO FOR THE IR-1 ROASTER DOES NOT PROVIDE LP GAS |
| | INPUT PRESSURE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE PRESSURE AND SUBMIT |
| | SPECS FOR THE REGULATOR. |
| | |
| | 2) COMBUSTION AIR: THE SUBMITTED LETTER FROM BMC |
| | CONSULTING DOES NOT ADDRESS COMBUSTION AIR FOR THE |
| | ROASTERS. ON SHEET P2.0 OF THE MASTER PLAN, REFERENCE |
| | IS MADE TO SHEET M3.1 FOR THE COMBUSTION AIR |
| | CALCULATIONS USING MECHANICAL THE AIR SYSTEMS IN THE |
| | SPACE HOWEVER THE CALCULATION IS NOT SHOWN ON THE PLAN. |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE THE CALCULATION AND REFER TO SECTION |
| | 304.9.2 FBC FG: EACH OF THE ROASTERS SHALL BE |
| | INTERLOCKED WITH THE MECHANICAL AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM TO |
| | PREVENT MAIN BURNER OPERATION WHEN THE MECHANICAL AIR |
| | SYSTEM IS NOT IN OPERATION. PLEASE NOTE THAT SECTION |
| | 304.5 ALLOWS THE USE OF INDOOR AIR FOR COMBUSTION AS AN |
| | ALTERNATIVE TO USING MECHANICALLY SUPPLIED AIR. |
| | |
| | 3) MAKEUP AIR: THE SUBMITTED LETTER FROM BMC CONSULTING |
| | DOES NOT ADDRESS MAKEUP AIR FOR THE ROASTERS. MASTER |
| | PLAN SHEET P2.0 LIST AIR CONSUMPTION VALUES FOR THE |
| | ROASTERS. REFER TO SECTION 304.9.1 FBC FG AND INDICATE |
| | HOW THE MAKEUP AIR IS BEING PROVIDED FOR THE EXHAUST |
| | FANS. PLEASE NOTE THAT MAKEUP AIR IS DEFINED AS ANY |
| | COMBINATION OF OUTDOOR AIR AND TRANSFER AIR- SECTION |
| | 202. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE |
| | PLAN AND THE L12 SPECS WHICH INDICATES AIR CONSUMPTION |
| | VALUES OF 410 CFMS COLD AND 402 CFMS HOT- SHEET P2.0 |
| | INDICATES 486 CFMS. |
| | |
| | 4) EXHAUST VENTILATION SYSTEM: |
| | A) THERE APPEARS TO BE A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE L12 |
| | SPECIFICATIONS AND THE NEW M3.2 PLAN SHEET. THE L12 |
| | SUBMITTAL INDICATES ON PAGE 10 THAT THE "ANY |
| | NEAR-HORIZONTAL DUCTING SHOULD HAVE AN UPWARD |
| | INCLINATION OF AT LEAST 45 DEGREES." THE NEW SUBMITTED |
| | PLAN SHEET M3.2 SHOWS THE MAIN 18 INCH EXHAUST DUCT |
| | SLOPING DOWNWARD, AND THE LETTER FROM BMC CONSULTING |
| | STATES " THE 18" EXHAUST DUCTWORK IS SLOPED TOWARD THE |
| | EXTERIOR AT A MINIMUM OF 1/8 " PER FOOT, WHICH IS NOT |
| | REQUIRED BUT WAS DESIGNED TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE FLOW |
| | OF THE EXHAUST." PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER EXPLANATORY |
| | INFORMATION IN THE LETTER TO CLARIFY THIS CONFLICT. |
| | B) PLEASE REMOVE THE CUT SHEET FOR THE STAINLESS STEEL |
| | DUCTWORK FROM THE NEW PLAN SHEET M3.2. THE LETTER FROM |
| | BMC CONSULTING SPECIFIES G90 DUCTWORK. |
| | C) THE LETTER FROM BMC CONSULTING APPEARS TO INDICATE |
| | THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS AN ENGINEERED DESIGN |
| | PROVIDED BY THE EOR. ENGINEERED DESIGNS ARE ALLOWED FOR |
| | SINGLE WALL METAL PIPE GAS VENTING PER SECTION 503.7.9 |
| | (3) FBC FG, HOWEVER IN ORDER TO VERIFY THE SYSTEM WILL |
| | BE CONSTRUCTED PROPERLY PER THE ENGINEER'S DESIGN, AND |
| | FOR FIELD INSPECTION PURPOSES, PLEASE PROVIDE THE DUCT |
| | LENGTH MEASUREMENTS ON THE PLAN SHEET M3.2- SECTION |
| | 107.2.1 WPB. |
| | D) THE LETTER FROM BMC CONSULTING INCLUDES AN EXCERPT |
| | FROM NORDFAB?S DESIGN REVIEW. PLEASE SUBMIT A COPY OF |
| | THE NORDFAB DESIGN REVIEW. |
| | E) PLEASE EXPAND ON THIS STATEMENT IN THE LETTER- "BMC |
| | CONSULTING IS CONFIDENT, PENDING THE PROPER |
| | INSTALLATION BY THE NORDFAB CERTIFIED INSTALLING |
| | CONTRACT & VENTILATION SPECIALIST (HIGH TECH DUCT |
| | WERKS, LLC), THE NORFAB (MISSPELLED) DUCTWORK WILL |
| | OPERATE AS REQUIRED TO MEET THE CODE |
| | REQUIREMENTS/INTENT OF THE FBC 2017, MECHANICAL EDITION |
| | FOR THE TRANSPORT OF HOT EXHAUST AIR." PLEASE INDICATE |
| | SPECIFICALLY WHICH CODE SECTIONS AND CLARIFY HOW PROPER |
| | INSTALLATION WILL BE CONFIRMED. FOR EXAMPLE- WILL BMC |
| | CONSULTING PERFORM FIELD INSPECTIONS, AND WILL |
| | "STARTUP" TESTING BE PERFORMED? |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
