3) Sheet ER1 provides code references for NFPA 1221 and 1225. Both identified as 2019 editions. St Johns County Fire Marshals Office (SJCFMO) does not use the 2019 edition of NFPA 1221. Instead, SJCFMO uses NFPA 1225 2020 edition for BDA Systems. Update the code references to reflect the correct code editions. Also, please identify the Florida Fire Prevention Code 2020 7th Edition.

4) Sheet ER11 in the BDA System layout in the portion the is labeled ”MONITOR MODULES TIED TO F/A SYSTEM” does not appear to be complete. Update the BDA modules/items the FACP is to be monitoring as shown in NFPA 1225:18.14.1.2.	8/25/2023	dfeagle
5) The dedicated BDA annunciator panel on Sheet ER11 appears that it will be a part of the FACP / FAAP. The BDA is required to have a separate BDA Annunciator panel that provides specific visual and labeled indications as required by NFPA 1225:18.14.2.2. It looks like the information on Sheet ER11, under “ADDITIONALLY THE FACCP/FAAP WILL BE USED TO ANNUCIATE THE FOLLOWING” is the items listed in NFPA 1225:18.14.2.2 except that plans sheet Item #1 is either normal a/c power OR loss of normal a/c power. Both of these are required to be provided in the BDA annunciator panel. The cut sheets indicate that a remote annunciator is being provided and it shows the correct data. Update Sheet ER11 to reflect this data.	8/25/2023	dfeagle
