Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 61G15-32.002 defines a material deviation as "Any deviation from the design parameters established and documented by the Engineer of Record." Furthermore FAC 61G15-32.003(6) states "When layout documents contain material deviation from the Engineer of Record's Fire Protection System Engineering Document, such layout documents are not compliant unless they are accompanied by revised Engineering Documents made and sealed by the Engineer of record for the Fire Protection System."
1. The engineers design criteria calls for a heat traced wet pipe main to extend above grade from the stub up to the inside stairway thus continuing the wet system riser from that position. The submitted shop drawings do not reflect this.
2. The criteria also calls for the computer room to be protected via double interlock pre-action system at light hazard. The shop drawings show no protection for that area, calling for gas system.
In accordance with the above, please either revise the design criteria or modify the shop drawings as not to deviate from the criteria.
