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.

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.

Todays test was for the first floor lobby/desk remodeled area. The list of corrections needed are: the manual pull station needs to be relocated from behind the handicap partion, smoke detector in Corridor 105 (by electrical room) is less than 3' from supply diffuser, the audible portion of the fire alarm system does not sync. between buildings 1 and 2, all of phase 1 work needs to be completed including the total area coverage of smoke detectors in the Lobby area, access panels need to be provided as per IMC 607.4 to the louvers of the fire/smoke dampers, the ceiling mount strobe in the Foothills Conference Room is overspaced from the entry doors. Horn/strobes were tested and the new pull station at the south exit doors was tested. None of the smoke detectors or the fire/smoke dampers were tested. 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.
