I just had a school district call me and yell at me for a report I did. I conducted a water flow test 2 months ago at this school. The water department and I observed that the PIV was shut. It had been shut for the past 6 years. Long story short the school asked me to open the valve and inspect for other problems. I spent an entire day surveying the school and wrote a 13 page report with pictures. Serious issues like rooms missing sprinklers. Ceiling clouds missing sprinklers etc. No drains or inspectors tests etc. I sent a copy to the fire marshal and building dept. Well fed ex delivered it to the fire marshal first and called the district before they got their copy. The school dist manager said that he emailed every school district in the area advising them not to use us and is threatening to sue us over sending a copy to the fire marshal.

Here's the data I've gotten. I need to know if it parallels IBC as far as when EQ bracing is required or if it's totally different and how these numbers and descriptions relate to IBC? "5.2.- Seismic Data: (Per Manual of Design for Seismic, CFE) Occupancy classification B Structural System classification Type 1 Soil Profile Type From geotechnical report Seismic Zone A Response Spectra c= 0.16 Ta= 0.30 Tb= 1.50 R= 2/3 Ductility Factor Q= 2" Thanks!
