I've received quite a few forms now and I think I'm good. Thank you to all that shared.
BTW, I'm still trying to get a servicer selection guide developed for our business owners in the city. I have some basic questions already but am looking for more. Please send any ideas, questions, etc. with regards to problems you encounter on a frequent basis so I can combine them into what I've gotten already. This isn't meant to be an all inclusive listing but to provide some questions requiring honest answers and the ability for a business owner to understand why one or two contractors might be priced a bit higher than the low bidder. After reading a few of the sample questions, you guys will get the picture. Again, any help/suggestions are welcomed and I'll share the final draft result with the group..... For example, some questions may be: General - I don't have a copy of the manufacturer's literature or record drawings (as-builts) as required by NFPA 25 and the local AHJ. Do you really need them and how do you suggest we solve this deficiency? - Will your inspectors be verifying that my current storage conditions are satisfactory for the current sprinkler system so I don't get issued a Correction Notice by the local inspectors for having inadequate protection as part of this service/inspection program? Dry Standpipes - Does my building/facility have dry standpipes? - How does your company test dry standpipes? Where will the water source come from and what will the flow rate need to be? - Will I have to pay to rent a water meter or is it included in the price quote? - Does your basic inspection quote include the rental fee of a large pump or the hiring of off-duty firefighter to achieve the proper water flow rate at roof level of our high-rise building? Foam Systems - Please describe the type of foam system I have and the required testing needed (hydrostatic testing of tanks, pump - Will your technician be taking a sample of foam during a full flow test to verify the concentration? - What method will be used to verify the concentration? - What environmental issues might arise with the disposal of foam during the testing and how can those be mitigated to prevent problems with the water/environmental agencies? Again, this will be a guide our department can give to local businesses so that they don't get "stung" after we reject a confidence test report for being incomplete and have to pay extra to have everything that is required done. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Deason Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 10:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Contractor's Test & Materials Certificate Smith, David (VFD) wrote: > Does anyone on the list happen to have either the Aboveground or > Underground (or both) Contractor's Material and Test Certificate's in > a MS Word format? > > I have them in a .pdf format but wanted to create usable forms that > can be typed into.
