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,

Per the Fire Marshal, a TCO can be issued for the building permit (BLD15-01869) for the next 30 days. The static pressure at the base of the fire riser will need to be monitored and recorded over the next 30 days by the general contractor. These readings will be evaluated by the Fire Marshal at the end of the 30 days to determine if fire sprinkler system design changes will be necessary under (FIR15-00822) to accommodate the actual water supply available onsite.

I stopped at the project site three times today to verify static pressure on the underground supply line. At 7:00am the pressure was at 61psi, at 9:00am the pressure was at 71psi and at 1:00pm the pressure was at 74 psi. I contacted the project superintendant and the fire sprinkler contractor and let them know that I could not sign off until directed by my supervisor.

Mike is the contact. Thanks. Phone #: ###-#### Inspection requested via web by Stan Beus

“Met Mike Bierman onsite to evaluate pressure at base of riser assembly. Pressure gauge indicated 73psi on one riser gauge and 78 psi on the other riser pressure gauge. We agreed to check the pressure once again the following morning to verify that the minimum require base of riser (BOR) pressure is accurate per system design. Final sign off can occur with this follow up pending verification.”

See the city approved plans for locations where the sprinkler piping can be covered above the hardlids. Also plan modifications will again be required due to additional fittings and an elevation change that has not been included on the latest plans. The elevation change and the additional fittings will effect the hydraulic calculations and will need to be verified through the plan review process. Also at several locations where the piping passes through CMU walls and rises up through the floor the hole size is not large enough to meet NFPA 13. The holes will need to be larger or flexible couplings will need to be utilized as per NFPA 13. For the most part the sprinkler rough-in is passed except for the items noted above. I will need verification that the wood used in several locations is fire treaded or upright protection will be required.
