f ice` HCS Tenant Improvement 22 March 2019 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> First Floor appear to provide the minimum width per ICC A117.1-09 Figure <br /> 604.9.2. (From email received on Jan 28th, 2018) <br /> R: Please see revisions Sheet A0.4. <br /> 6. 6. Sheet A0.4A includes an estimate for the accessibility improvements. Based <br /> on the work estimate of$17,800, the accessibility improvements must be at least <br /> $3,560 ($3,000 if the total budget with improvements remains at <br /> $17,800). Please address the following comments: <br /> a. Confirm that the accessibility improvements are included in the <br /> previously-provided cost estimate (i.e., $17,800). Otherwise, the accessible <br /> budget and work estimate shall be increased. <br /> b. The fourth bullet indicates accessible panic hardware costing <br /> $1,850. This item is not within the intent of the code. Panic hardware and its <br /> installation is inherently accessible. Providing hardware on new or existing <br /> doors due to the project scope is a basic code requirement and not being <br /> performed to improve accessibility. This would only satisfy the requirement if <br /> the project were replacing existing panic hardware that was somehow not <br /> meeting requirements for accessibility, which has not been indicated for this <br /> project. This line item shall be removed. <br /> c. The third bullet indicates rehanging an existing door to be <br /> accessible, which is within the intent of the code. However, the estimate <br /> appears high. This is noted for your information only. As stated previously, we <br /> generally do not perform a detailed review of the cost estimate, but do review it <br /> for order-of-magnitude to verify it is reasonable. It is the applicant's risk of being <br /> subject to federal action if the final cost cannot confirm the estimate. Again, this <br /> is provided for your information only; further response on this line item is not <br /> required. <br /> d. As previously stated, the restrooms on the First Floor do not appear to <br /> provide the minimum width per ICC A117.1-09 Figure 604.9.2. The fifth bullet <br /> appears to state that the existing non-compliant restrooms cannot be modified <br /> due to space constraints. However, it is possible to modify the restrooms by <br /> moving the west non-structural partition walls. Alternatively, the bathrooms do <br /> not require the second sink and could be modified to be accessible. Therefore, <br /> the bathroom modifications do not meet the definition of being infeasible per <br /> Section 705.1.9. <br /> R: Please see revised sheet A0.4. <br /> I have attached the emails as well for reference. <br /> I trust that the above responses will be sufficient to complete the review of this project. Should <br /> there be further questions or clarifications needed please do not hesitate to contact Clover <br /> Schuler at 425-885-4300 or via email at clover@magellanarchitects.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Clover Schuler- Magellan Architects <br /> c/ <br />
