Mr. John Bierly Wing Point Associates Plan Check Number: B2003-043, First Building Review May 14, 2020 5. Exit signs and emergency egress lighting appear to be provided in the Reflected Ceiling plans on Sheets A-11 through A-13. Additional signs and lighting should be provided based on the egress plan. Signs and lightings are required for all paths out of the building from spaces requiring two or more exits per IBC Sections 108.3.1 and 1013.1. Exterior egress lighting should also be provided per IBC Section1008.3.2(5). See response to comment 4. 6. Continuing with the previous comment, exit signs and emergency lighting should specify back- up power with a minimum 90-minute duration. See IBC Sections 1008.3.4 and 1013.6.3. This is described in the notes on the Lighting and Ceiling Fixture Schedule on All. 7. Panic hardware should be provide for all doors in the egress paths of spaces requiring two or more exits. See IBC Section 1010.1.10. 1010.1.10 only requires panic hardware for spaces with an occupant load greater than 50 for Group A and Eoccupancies. So, unless we are missing something from another code section,the hardware as submitted complies with the IBC. Please clarify if your intention was to cite another area in the code. 8. The stair construction is shown on Sheets A-14 and A-15. The following comments should be addressed: a. The minimum clear width of each stair run should be specified per IBC Section 1011.2. These are shown on the enlarged plans and the stair details(1/A15) b. Landings with a minimum depth of 48 inches should be provided per IBC Section 1011.6. Multiple landings do not appear to comply. We believe this comment is incorrect. Landings are only required to be the width of the stairway served (typically 44"). c. The depth for the stairs should be specified. See IBC Section 1011.5.2.These are shown on the schedule for each stair run,along with the rise and tread count. d. Nosings should be detailed per IBC Section 1011.5.5. See stair note 3/A14. e. Handrails should be shown on both sides of each stair run per IBC Section 1011.11. See stair note 1/A14 and detail 1/A15. f. Handrail extensions should be provided at the top and bottom of each run per IBC Section 1014.6 See stair note 1/A14 and detail 1/A15. g. The typical stair section on Sheet A-15 specifies cable rails at 4-inch spacing. The rails are flexible and may be splayed to allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. The spacing should be reduced. See IBC Section 1015.4. The stair rail system has been revised to steel tube and pipe rails that address this concern. h. The south stairway includes a short run that is not dimensioned. The section should be revised. See IBC Section 107.2.1. This stair has been revised and the short run has been eliminated. 9. Continuing with the previous comment,the plans on Sheets A-3, A-5, and A-6 includes additional stair runs that are not detailed in the construction drawings. Sections and details for the stairs should be provided. See IBC Section 107.2.1. All new stair runs are detailed in plan and section at 1/4" = l'-0". Some minor existing stairs within the first floor tenant space(shown as crosshatched)are not within the scope of this permit application.
