Attached copyof letter from Robert Peters, project engineer and Grag bush project architect concerning the deletion of the concrete collars from this project and deleting sheet A3.5 from the reviewed approved plans.

I called Jan Welch, Stapley Engineers, the third party structural plan review firm for this project to discuss the removal of the concrete collars from the columns. Jan said she would review her records and call me back.

Jan called and left a message. The engineering reviewed was based on the scope of work proposed as a voluntary seismic upgrade to improve load paths and connections for load paths. the column analysis for stress and the upgrade connection details would be needed to be completed. The concrete collars would have improved the ductility and resistance to overturning at the columns but as this was voluntary and the current codes did not require this improvement the collars would not be required and they could be installed at a latter date if the Boise School District wanted to make or add that scope to a future permit.
Robert Peters, Design Structural Engineer, also recommended in his letter that the concrete collars be considered as an improvement when funds became available (see letter attached).

Called from Greg Bush, LKV Architect, indicating he would talk with his structural engineer for project and I told him of call out for concrete collars on engineering calcs and Sheet A3.5. I told him we may need resubmittals indicating proposed changes to engineering calc call-out and Sheet A3.5. I would let him know once I heard from Robert Peters Engineer of record.

Call from Greg Bush saying he had been called by the engineer and would be getting the letter and ask what to do next. I told him to send the engineers letter to be and accompany it with a letter from him and LKV Arch concerning the proposals and stating that Sheet A3.5 was to be voided and removed from the plans.
Greg said I wouls have the letters by late afternoon.

Rita DeYoung contacted me saying that the Boise School District project manager had called her concerning the permit to be picked up and indicated there should not be any ESC fee's because the installation of the concrete collars shown on Sheet A3.5 of reviewed plans had not been done and was not going to be done. Rita came to ask me if this scope of work indicating the installation of the concrete collars could be deleted from project. I indicated that the collars had been called for in the design engineering calcs and had been part of the plans and calcs reviewed and approved by our third party structural engineering plan reviewer and detailed on the plans. I would need to contact parties involved to discuss consequences of deleting work if any.
Rita had also found that a roofing contractor had applied for a roofing permit, BLD12-02462, on line to install the new metal roof and the seismic upgrade bracing that were part of this permit, BLD12-01724, so the separate roofing permit would not have been required.
The plan review had been performed on ePlanReview and the final approved plans had gone back to the architect for creation of final drawings but the permit had not been paid for and picked up. Copy of approved plans had been issued to the job site but the permit not picked so the plans should not have been given to the contractor.
Two inspections, based on approved plans issued from architectural firm before the correct permit was issued, had been performed under the roofing permit and they will be transfered to BLD12-01724. There is discussion about cancelling the roofing permit and adding everything under the correct permit for this project, BLD12-01724, then issuing the permit.

ePlanReview case - Hawthorne Elementary - 20 working days for 1st time review would be 8/10/12.

Pending outside structural engineering review approval. Resubs sent out 8/23/12. Failed structural review.

Talked with Bob Howard, BRS Architects concerning the location of structural plan review comments in e-plan review. We discussed the design information needed. Bob ask if the school district decided not to pursue the voluntary structural seizmic upgrade, what he should do. This permit would be used by the permit desk personel to issue an over the counter roof covering and the language of this permit changed to reflect new scope of work.

ESC 12-00673 plan waiver approved with additional conditions attached to the permit.

sent e-mail to Kent Krohn and Bob Howard to pay plan check fee.
