The Fire Sprinkler Scope of work consists of selective adding and relocating sprinklers for a bar, restaurant and banquet area new tenant. The new tenant will occupy part of the first floor and part of the basement. The new sprinklers will be armed over from the existing piping. The existing system is apparently supplied by 6” underground with a 4” riser and 4” backflow preventer. Quick response sprinklers are being utilized through out the first floor tenant space.

Contractor’s Note: Scope of Work
The fire protection scope of work does not seem to correlate with the building department scope of work (The following areas should have been included: service, supply, basement and green rooms to outside exit). This review is based on the scope of work indicated in the fire protection drawing and sprinkler application.

If the fire protection scope of work does not correlate with the building department, scope of work than a Certificate of Occupancy may be held and not granted until all work within the building department scope of work is verified. New drawings showing all the sprinklers within the building department scope of work are required to be submitted and reviewed.
