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.

Thursday, March 30, 2023 Response to comments indicate "Changes made to pages F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 Marked with Clouding".

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 "Changes made to pages F6 Marked with Clouding".

5) Clubhouse main pull station is 7ish feet from exit. Relocate to within 5'. 101:9.6.2.3

Thursday, March 30, 2023 Response to comments indicate "Changes made to pages F2 Marked with Clouding".

Its still in the same location.

Friday, July 7, 2023 RTC indicates "FA-2 Pull station has been moved within 5ft of main entrance Double Doors and Clouded."

7) Looking at revised (6/13/22) A8.10 and revised A2.02, I do not see where SF4 (1st floor between clubhouse and residential), SF6 (1st floor clubhouse corridor in area of M/W restrooms), SF13 (1st floor gallery to outside patio), SF14 (1st floor door from fitness room to gallery), SF18 (1st floor from yoga to gallery), SF4 (1st floor door from mail room to outside), SF19 (1st floor overflow package room to mailroom), SF15 (2nd floor from co working to deck), SF17 (2nd floor cardio to co working) are tied into to release with fire alarm activation since these doors are shown to be sensor release locks. Show these doors tied in to release with fire alarm activation. 101: 7.2.1.6.2.

Thursday, March 30, 2023 Response to comments indicate "I was informed that all door will have strike assembly with push to open hardware No Interface required."

A8.10 and revised A2.02 both show the above doors as having sensor release.  Last Friday the meeting finally took place regarding access control door locks. The occupancy is intending to use some sensor release locks but they have not yet resubmitted showing clarification /location of door locks.  It did seem like they intend to use locks other than just strike release in some locations. You will need to wait to resubmit following the approval of new proposed locking arrangements.

Friday, July 7, 2023 RTC indicate "Access Control permit has been submitted and approved. No More fire alarm interface required."

9) Do not see where doors 114 (clubhouse corridor 2nd floor)and 108F (water service) are tied in to release the hold opens. Page A2.01 of original plans shows these doors to have mag hold opens. Show these door hold opens tied in to release with fire alarm via required smokes in accord with 101:7.2.1.8.2.

Thursday, March 30, 2023 Response to comments indicate "I was informed that all door will be kept closed to maintain sound control and climate control in this amenities area."

A2.01 shows these mag hold opens. Either: a) have A2.01 page revised showing hold opens removed prior to this resubmittal, b) show the hold opens tied in, or c) explain using the FFPC how this is not required.

Friday, July 7, 2023 RTC indicate "FA3 - I Have added Smoke detection and Door Release for 2nd FL Double Door 114. However door 108F is an Exterior door for an exterior Sprinkler Water Closet does not have the Door Hold open comment. Fir this door configuration only Door 104 of the schedule 13 Doors on property have this comment provision."

I see you provided a copy of the door schedule from A201. If you see the column with the "13" in it, that column is titled HRDW. If you goto the Door Hardware Schedule on that same page for hardware 13 it reads "magnetic hold opens - coord/fire alarm - release". Either: a) have A2.01 page revised showing hold opens removed prior to this resubmittal, b) show the hold opens tied in,

Monday, July 17, 2023 Received building revision at same time as fire alarm resub. Building revision shows door 114 being removed from a 1 hour rated separation. The revision was rejected until designer can answer how this penetration in the 1 hr separation is being achieved.
