NOTE: Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 61G15-32.003 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."
Approved Construction Plans (permit 12114021), Sheet FP0.1 provides 61G15-32 data. The submitted shop drawings are not sealed and are subject to the 61G15-32 data.

1) The shop drawings indicate the design approach for the Light Hazard areas to be .10/900 SF. Construction plans Sheet FP0.1 61G153-32.004 2(d) requires .10/1500 SF.
a) Adjust the Shop Drawings to match the 61G15-32.004 2(d) OR,
b) Have the Engineer of Record adjust the 61G15-32.004 2(d) to match the Shop Drawings.

|
|
2) I was not able to locate the remote/most demanding area for Ordinary Hazard Group 1 used on the plans.
Show on plans the Ordinary Hazard Group 1 remote area.
|
| |
|
|
3) The riser detail does not provide enough detail as drawn to make out the equipment layout.
Provide a more detailed drawing.
|
| |
|
|
4) Construction Plans Sheet FP0.1 indicates a supervised double check backflow preventer (watts 757 or equal) located on the sprinkler riser with two tamper switch shutoff valves (before and after the double check valve).
a) Adjust the shop drawings to match the engineer of records riser requirements OR,
b) Have the EOR revise Sheet FP0.1 to match the shop drawings

|
|
5) Missing the pressure gauge above the system check valve located below the FDC connection. 13:7.1.1.2
Provide the missing pressure gauge.
|
| |
|
|
6) Riser detail did not identify a pressure relief valve or an auxiliary air reservoir. 13:7.1.2.1, 13:7.1.2.2
Provide either a relief valve or an auxiliary reservoir.
|
| |
|
|
7) No spare sprinkler head box shown on plans. 13:6.2.9
|
| |
|
|
8) All above ground fire main and sprinkler control valves are to be provided with tamper switches and monitored in accordance with 101:9.7.2. 101:16.3.6(2) & (5)(a)
|
| |
|
|
9) Please be advised, It has come to my attention at the time of this review that the underground fire main and the Fire Sprinkler Main into the building will be upsized. Please verify the new pipe size and the sprinkler calculations for this system based on the new supply main sizes.
The resubmitted plans need to reflect the correct supply sizes. Once the underground revision has been approved, should the above-ground plans not match the revised underground plans, the above ground plans will be required to be revised.
