1) Do not see where all valves (including backflow and PIVs) are electronically supervised in accord with 101:9.7.2.1.1. Req by 101:30.3.5.1, sprinkler design criteria on F101, fire alarm design criteria E606, and several trade offs utilized. Show backflow/PIVs are electronically supervised.

2) Looking at E601 (FSD), the EOR wanted the damper smokes to be tied into fire alarm and fire alarm to shut dampers. According to E410-E413 there are a handful of dampers per floor. Looking at the shop drawings I see no dampers or smokes for each of the dampers.

NOTE: These smokes should not activate alarm but supervisory only. 101:9.6.3.2.2.

3) Page 6 shows that smokes will activate alarm. We do not want smokes that close the doors, dampers or elevator recall/shutdown to activate the alarm, just supervisory. 101:9.6.3.2

Thursday, March 30, 2023 Response to comments indicate "No units are Allocated for hearing impaired on the ADA Matrix"
