This building is required to have a third party contractor conduct a two-way radio communication test in accordance with NFPA 1:11.10 and NFPA 1221 (2016 ED.) by the time of the framing inspection.
St Johns County Fire Rescue’s radio control frequency is 853.8875. You will need to provide this information to your third party contractor.
NOTE: A copy of this report must be provided and submitted to our office as a revision before the 105 framing inspection. A 105 Framing Hold has been placed until receipt of the revision.
-If it passes the inspection radio testing at the framing stage, you will need to submit as a revision as we will record the documentation and remove the hold.
- If the third party paperwork indicates the test is not satisfactory, then the contractor will have to submit for a revision. The revision will need to include: the unsatisfactory test paperwork, outline of corrective measures, and plans to illustrate the corrective measures to meet requirements provided by the design professional.
At the final, you will be required to provide satisfactory testing by the third party contractor following the installation of the in building radio enhancement system.
