f IIII IIIIII IIIII To:Clover Schuler<clover@magelliAlcPchitects.com>;Tina Koch<tina@magellAlilr hitects.com> Subject: RE:City of Everett Permit Services:840 N Broadway(B1810-012)-Second Building Review Clover, Comment 6 is still an issue; see below. The other comments have been addressed. 6. Sheet A0.4A includes an estimate for the accessibility improvements. Based on the work estimate of$17,800,the accessibility improvements must be at least$3,560($3,000 if the total budget with improvements remains at $17,800). Please address the following comments: a.Confirm that the accessibility improvements are included in the previously-provided cost estimate (i.e., $17,800). Otherwise,the accessible budget and work estimate shall be increased. b.The fourth bullet indicates accessible panic hardware costing$1,850. This item is not within the intent of the code. Panic hardware and its installation is inherently accessible. Providing hardware on new or existing doors due to the project scope is a basic code requirement and not being performed to improve accessibility. This would only satisfy the requirement if the project were replacing existing panic hardware that was somehow not meeting requirements for accessibility,which has not been indicated for this project. This line item shall be removed. c.The third bullet indicates rehanging an existing door to be accessible,which is within the intent of the code. However,the estimate appears high. This is noted for your information only. As stated previously,we generally do not perform a detailed review of the cost estimate, but do review it for order-of-magnitude to verify it is reasonable. It is the applicant's risk of being subject to federal action if the final cost cannot confirm the estimate. Again,this is provided for your information only;further response on this line item is not required. d.As previously stated,the restrooms on the First Floor do not appear to provide the minimum width per ICC A117.1-09 Figure 604.9.2. The fifth bullet appears to state that the existing non-compliant restrooms cannot be modified due to space constraints. However, it is possible to modify the restrooms by moving the west non-structural partition walls. Alternatively,the bathrooms do not require the second sink and could be modified to be accessible. Therefore,the bathroom modifications do not meet the definition of being infeasible per Section 705.1.9.
