1) Review comment #24 indicates a hold for a fire pump permit. The buildings construction type and square footage and available fire flow indicates a fire pump is needed (NFPA 1 Chapter 18, Table 18.4.5.2.1). The plans call out a "Fire Riser & Pump Room". I do not see any fire pump information provided.
1. Provide an elevation of the Riser & Pump Room showing the fire pump and fire sprinkler riser layout, including layouts of all piping. AND,
2. Obtain and provide a fire pump permit and supporting fire pump specification sheets, manuals, etc.
