e. Edge protection shall be provided where required per IBC Section 1012.10. Response: Because the sloped walkways have been removed and replaced with curb cuts this comment no longer applies. ACCESSIBILITY: 10. The project involves Level 2 Alterations to the building per IEBC Chapter 8. Accessibility improvements per IEBC Section 705.2 shall be included in the project. It appears that some accessibility improvements have been made, such as adding accessible parking spaces per Sheet A1.00. Documentation substantiating that the requirements of Section 705.2 have been satisfied shall be submitted for review. Where Exception 1 is used,the documentation shall itemize the improvements and estimated cost of work associated with each item. See IEBC Section 806.1. Response: The estimated cost of work for our tenant improvement scope is$230,000. In addition our estimated value of work to upgrade the accessibility is$77,000.The work for the accessibility upgrades is as follows: raising a portion of the parking lot around the ADA parking spots, parking lot striping, ADA parking signage, (3)curb cuts, vertical grab bars, demolition and relocation of bathroom doors, relocating and replacing bathroom partitions,ADA pipe insulation at missing locations, all new ADA compliant door handles,ADA height casework, ADA compliant sink cabinet, and ADA dishwasher. For this project we will be using exception 1, and the estimated cost of the work for the accessibility upgrades exceeds 20%of the work for tenant's scope of work. 11. The existing restrooms on Sheet A2.01 do not appear to be fully accessible. Potential deficiencies include,but are not limited to,the bathroom doorways. See ICCA117.1-09 Figure 404.2.3.2(a)and(b). The restrooms shall be made accessible as required per IEBC Section 705.2. See IEBC Section 806.1. Response: The bathrooms have been modified to meet ADA requirements,these upgrades include new partitions so that ADA stall meets the 60"by 56"requirement, providing vertical grab bars, providing pipe insulation at exposed pipes under the sink, and the doors to provide adequate clearances. 12. The Site Plan on Sheet A1.00 shows new accessible parking spaces. Accessible parking spaces shall be provided with signage per IBC Section 1111.1 Item 1. The signs shall comply with ICCA117.1-09 Section 502.7,including additional requirements for van-accessible spaces. The van accessible spaces shall be specified on the plans. Details specifying the requirements for the signs shall be provided. Note that the requirements to provide signs are not exempt where painted accessible symbols are provided on the parking surface. See IBC Section 1101.2 and IEBC Section 705.2. Response: A note has been added to A1.00 to provide the proper signage for designated ADA parking spots and for designated ADA van parking.The van accessible parking space has been called out of the plans. Please see 27/A0.06 for parking signage requirements. 13. The Site Plan includes an existing accessible parking space on the west side of the building. The space does not include an access aisle. In addition,the ramp is located in-line with the parking space and therefore prevents access. The accessible space shall be reconfigured to provide an access aisle and route to the ramp. See IBC Section 1101.2, ICCA117.1-09 Section 502,and IEBC Section 705.2. Response: We have modified our drawing to show upgrades to the designated ADA parking spots at both the East and West sides of the building to include the proper access aisle and curb cut. MICELLANEOUS: 14. The project includes new interior partition walls per the plans and details on Sheet A9.01. Connection details between the top and bottom of the walls and the structure shall be provided in the drawings. Where the walls are not continuous to the structural floor system above,bracing shall be provided. Alternatively,short walls braced at each end by intersecting orthogonal walls may be supported by continuous top plates. All connections,bracing, and supporting framing shall be capable of resisting a 5 psf lateral force on the walls.See IBC Section 1607.14. Response: Please see details 2-6 on sheet A9.02 for wall connection details and notes. Project#B1903-041 — 1010 SE Everett Mall Way
