1) Due to the change of occupancy (shell designed for mercantile to storage), method, arrangement, height of commodities being stored this requires an engineering evaluation. While an owners certificate was provided signed by the owner only, you will need to first submit both of the following before a sprinkler review can begin:

a) a copy of the owners certificate completed by the owner and architect. Also it will need to be sign/sealed by the sprinkler engineer. (We do not accept electronic signatures at this time.)

b) a signed and sealed letter from the sprinkler engineer addressing if changes are needed to the existing sprinkler system. If changes are required he will need to articulate those changes.25:4.1.6

NOTE: This message was conveyed in a meeting on 9 15 22 at 2p (same day these sprinkler plans were turned in) with architect, Jason Canning and fire protection engineer, Mr. Alan Watts.

Thursday, October 27, 2022 Letter received dated Oct 10 20222 by Mr Alan Watt indicates "The existing system will work if storage height is limited to 12 feet above the floor, 5 feet for mattresses. An increase above 12 feet of storage will require a hydraulic redesign to see if the existing piping is adequate for the amount of water required, all sprinkler heads will have to be replaced and a row of in-rack sprinklers may be required."
