Description
To replace an existing fire alarm panel to provide code compliant fire sprinkler monitoring for this building. Since all system components are affected by a FAC panel replacement, a full alarm system upgrade to meet current codes is required at the time of any FAC panel replacement. Therefore the scope of this project will include a review of the entire alarm system. The existing building alarm system also includes voluntary manual pull stations at all exits at every level and audible alarm annunciation throughout the building. No visual alarms are provided.

The associated building permit (BLD 02-00410) is to perform selective demolition per plans and to remodel a 1,600 sq. ft portion of the basement to create Lab, Labeling, Mechanical & Communications rooms; remodel 820 sq. ft. on the 1st floor for a Lab area and installation of a walk-in cooler per approved plans on file. Work to include construction of interior non-bearing walls & finishes; mechanical, electrical, plumbing & fire sprinkler upgrades; suspended ceiling installation; walk-in cooler & cabinetry; and maintenance of floor/ceiling draft stop systems. NOTE: This building is fully sprinklered. A "Letter of Completion / Compliance" is required for final occupancy & use approval as a condition of this permit. PC#02-120/drs

6/18/2004 - On 5/18/2004, phone call to Lynde Jones at Mt Alarm to explain the plan modification was required to show all the security devices and the doors they are controlling beside the releasing mechanism of the fire alarm system. She stated they would get that information on the plans and resubmit. I received revised plans on 6/17/2004, started a plan review today and found that no security devices have been placed on the drawings. A resubmittal is required. I phoned Lynde to advise of the situation. She will call on Monday to set up a meeting to resolve this issue.

7/9/2004 - Received revised plans indicating the locations of the doors and the security devices associated with them. There are six (6) doors shown on the basement plan and six (6) doors shown on the first floor plan. The PDS Fire Inspector shall field verify the functionality of these doors per IFC 1003.3.1.3.4.

7/30/2004 - Received complete resubmittal. Revised plans, riser, calcs and cutsheets. Item #8 has revised battery calculations.

10/22/2004 - Revised scope of work: To replace an existing fire alarm system with an addressable FACP. The required sprinkler monitoring fire alarm system includes manual pull stations, HVAC shutdown, elevator recall/shutdown and voluntary audible/visual notification throughout.

12/14/2004 - Received a revised building layout and fire alarm system modifications. The RTS for the HVAC shutdown are now located in the ceiling tiles below the unit, the elevator machine room has been relocated on the plans to match the building. Comment #5 regarding the horn/strobe in the stairwell still applies, it is shown on the plans and should NOT be installed.

Inspection was to verify that the waterflow switch is still intermittent as far as timing. It appears that the water for the sprinkler system is surging which won't allow the flow switch to activate. I left correction notice with Mountain Alarm and Eric with Red Cross 1/27/2005 8:17:47 AM

HOLD. Brent from Mt Alarm, the floor plans that have been submitted do not show the correct doors and locations. They will resubmit plans with the proper door layout.
Telephone call  5/18/2004 DONE
I spoke with Linde Jones, she was unsure of the exact nature of the resubmittal, except she was told to add relays to the FACP to deactivate the security doors. I explained that we require the security hardware shown on the affected doors on the plans so our inspector know which and how many doors to test. I stated that I would accept these plans if someone marked them up to reflect the security hardware and locations. She will have Brent call me and we will determine the additional information required to pass the Plan Modification to the original permit.
