Peter, the owner, called in a re-inspection but did not answer his phone at first so I stopped by the project and requested access. The staff gave me access and I found that the previous items had not been corrected. Infact the hardware on the doors had been removed. I walked one staff member through all of the items in hopes it would get relayed back to Peter.



As I was getting back into my vehicle Peter called me so I was able to go over the specifics of the corrections needed. I asked him to re-schedule when the items had been corrected.

Subject: Fire Flow for Larry Miller Subaru



Mr. Boyer,



I met Suez Water field techs last week to witness a flow test at the fire hydrant at the northwest corner of Larry Miller Subaru. The results of the flow test are as follows.



Outlet: 4.5”, Discharge Coefficient .9

Static: 57

Pitot: 26

Residual: 45

Actual Flow: 2772 gpm

Flow at 20psi: 5092 gpm



The available fire flow as calculated using the flow test does not support a properly functioning fire sprinkler system as designed. I discussed these results with Suez and inquired if there would be any stability increase in the system in the near future. There are no plans for any improvements that would stabilize or increase the pressure in this area in the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, the sprinkler system for Larry Miller Subaru was designed using a fire flow that does not reflect the significant daily drop in pressure. This daily drop in pressure lasts several hours and is expected to occur at least 3.5 to 4 months of the year. If a fire were to occur in the building, the sprinkler system may not be sufficient to keep it in check or extinguish the fire during several hours of the day. I know this is very inconvenient and will likely be expensive to resolve, so I am open to a reasonable timeline for repairs. Please respond with a plan and proposed timeline. I am willing to discuss this and answer questions you and the owner may have by phone or in person. Would you mind forwarding owner contact information to me so I can contact them?



Regards,
