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.

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.
4/13/2022, A Connell: Noted all riser and supply to this location is shown to be 6" main and calculations reflect a 6" Main.
