They are optional per the AHJ so you would have to ask up front or wait until the plans are submitted to get comments back. The AHJ's (most) don't want them here in the Phoenix area.
Good Luck, Ron Fletcher Aero Automatic Phoenix, AZ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 1:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: @#*% Hose Stations I know this is a no brainer but any help would be appreciated. We are doing a warehouse system with ESFR heads, shop drawings were approved by all parties, Architect, Engineer, AHJ. The only comment was from the AHJ that stated he wanted (3) hose stations added, no big deal. We send the GC a change order for the addition of the hose stations and it gets approved; now the GC wants us to provide additional information as to why we didn't include hose station in our original bid. We explained that there were no hose stations shown in the contract drawings or in the spec's and that NFPA-13 doesn't require them. Apparently the owner is trying to get the GC to pay for them because he didn't consult his crystal ball when he bid it and should have seen that the AHJ was going to add them! I know we're clean from our end but was just trying to help the GC out, any ideas?
