I met with Bruce of CM Company regarding plan modification requirements. He wanted to know if I would please explain why a plan modification is required. I let him know that there were multiple redlines on the original submittal and have been multiple changes to the original plans in the field that exceeded what would be acceptable as an as-built. I also pointed out that the original plans did not show any work in the basement for building #2 but I agreed to allow the work to proceed provided the information was included in plan modifications. I also let him know that there have been phone calls from the vendor regarding changes being made in the field. During those phone conversations, I let the vendor know that he could either submit plan modifications as they progressed, or provide one plan modification at the end of the project. All scope of work areas under this permit would need to be included in the plan modification. He asked if I would please send him an email detailing our discussion. I let him know I would send that to him tonight and would copy in Scott Arellano, Forrest France, and Troy Cobbley.

Todays inspection was just for the west corridor outside of Payroll which included two smoke detectors and two ceiling mounted audio/visuals. I was requested to inspect the devices that were changed out inside the Payroll offce but I declined due to this extra work being outside of the approved scope of work as shown on the city approved plans. This extra work needs to be submitted/approved prior to an inspection. I did step into the office and saw that the devices were functioning. I was also requested to verify work on the second floor which again is outside of the approved scope of work. I noted that it appears all of the devices are functioning.

The testing of audio/visuals for the 1st floor lobby and misc. offices at the west side of building passed. One strobe in the office had to have the candella increased due to being overspaced and one smoke detector in the lobby was located too close to a supply diffuser. The diffuser was relocated. EOL voltage stayed above 19.6 volts on the two associated notification circuits tested. I also noted that the smoke detector in the main entry, where the FACP is located, is located too close to a supply diffuser and will need to be relocated prior to testing of that area. The manual pull station at the main lobby exit doors is located on the opposite side of the bank of doors from what is shown on the approved drawings.

Inspector Cobbley called to discuss the requirement for a plan modification. The most recent activities/inspection notes indicates issues with installed panels not matching approved plans, device candela ratings not matching plans, and device locations not matching plans. I let him know that I previously discussed with the alarm vendor that plan modifications would be required prior to calling in for a final inspection, but not necessarily for fire alarm testing. I did let him know that if major problems occured with the functionality of the system, that it would be his discression to require a plan modification at that point rather than waiting for the final.

Finished partial inspection for fire alarm work completed to date at the first floor lobby/front counter area including employee offices. Re-inspection for previous correction items include; MP station relocated from behind ADA partition, SD relocated from HVAC diffusers at three locations, access panels provided at dampers per IMC. Notification appliance at the foothills conference room okayed based upon adjacent coverage in the lobby through the glass partition doors. Both main lobby dampers east side to remain closed due to missing drop ceilings and area detection between phases as discussed. Audible sync issues between buildings 1 and 2 remain unchanged. 2nd floor sync issues building one to be addressed under future upgrade permits- ref. activity note 7/6. Items tested today include SD's for recall functions at both 1st floor elevators, all new SD installed to date, 3 MP's, operation at three dampers south side hall.

One overspaced strobe and two smoke detectors located too close to hvac were corrected while I waited. During the testing of the second floor ceiling mounted strobe I noted multiple audible signals and possible sync. problems.
