3) Hydraulic calculations shows attic remote area 1 as being calculated using 1276sq ft with a roof pitch as 6:12. EOR on FP1.1 requires 1500 sq ft with 30% added for sloped roofs with a pitch greater than 1 in. 6." Update calculations.

Monday, October 11, 2021 Response to comments indicates "The attic hydraulic calculations are based on the attic sprinkler head manufacturer's recommended design criteria. We have added revision notes to the drawing and we have highlighted the Reliable Attic Sprinkler Head submittal data sheets and included them in this resubmittal package."

This response doesn't seem to address the 30% for sloped roofs. I called EOR Lane Hinkle. I spoke with his father Mr. Hinkle. He said the shop drawings have been submitted several times (as recently as Friday) and have yet to meet their design criteria. Submit shop drawings with EOR's stamp saying they are approved or approved with notes (include the notes).

Wednesday, December 1, 2021 Response to comments now indicate "Area 2 is the office not the attic, all areas labeled "Area 1" are for the attic sprinklers calculations, all areas labeled "Cox Fire Protection has increased the design area to include the 30% increase."  Also included with the submittal are several sheets from EOR showing that sprinkler "Conforms".

Monday, October 11, 2021 The response doesn't seem to address the design concern. I called EOR Lane Hinkle. I spoke with his father Mr. Hinkle. He said the shop drawings have been submitted several times (as recently as Friday) and have yet to meet their design criteria. Submit shop drawings with EOR's stamp saying they are approved or approved with notes (include the notes).

Wednesday, December 1, 2021 Response to comments now indicate "Area 2 is the office not the attic, all areas labeled "Area 1" are for the attic sprinklers calculations, all areas labeled "Area 2" are for the office calculations and the area is in accordance with NFPA 13, 2016 edition. FP1.1 has been corrected. "  Also included with the submittal are several sheets from EOR showing that sprinkler "Conforms".
