Am reviewing a drawing set for a medical
outpatient facility where sprinkler
contractor is doing a retrofit: changing out armovers
and over 200 sprinkler heads
I asked the sprinkler contractor to
A. provide a sheet with information that included
enough of the site underground to:
tell if the UG was fed by a loop or dead end,
location and dimension of underground pipe
location and specs on FDC and BFP,
where the gauge and flow hydrants were
elevation of the same and finished floor
include the new waterflow test
derate the HC coefficient for existing mains that are to
remain in place
B. and the sprinkler contractor was asked to brace the existing
mains per 2007 NFPA 13.
sprinkler contractor refuses to do the above, and GC
wants me to draw up the site plan showing UG, because
this internationally recognized sprinkler company, simply
will take too long and the GC wants the job done.
Sprinkler contractor is probably saying it is not in their
bid and scope of work, but I don´t see where in NFPA
13, that it is NOT in their scope of work. Am I
wrong, dead wrong, or kinda wrong.
scot deal
excelsior fire
