Alarm Plan Check8/9/2002 8/19/2002 FAIL
Resubmittal received 8/9. Zoning of fire smoke damper detectors has been corrected but but the 1-line clouding of changes does not match the plan clouding and no explanation is given on application of scope of work. Previous application received 8/6 indicated scope of work was for a TI project, however, the associated buidling permit is for a new 6,859 sq. ft, 2-story addition and to install a new fire sprinkler system througout the entire 22,000 sq.ft school. A sprinkler permit for this work was issued 8/9/02, but the alarm plans do not show the entire building, so it cannot be determined if the alarm plans include the new sprinkler system design. New/existing devices still not distiquished on plans. Called Eidam; John Vandergraf will have the system designer call me tomorrow. Hold to discuss further with Simplex and Eidam.
