James Bronder From: James Bronder Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2022 3:53 PM To: ndaas@hitt-gc.com Subject: Correction Intake 1 - B2209-016 Hi Nour, 1. It appears that (2) different plan sets have been provided for the submittal. One contains revision clouds without an Architectural seal while the other has omitted the revision clouds and contains an architectural seal. Please clarify and submit (2) sets of stamped plans for review. 2. On Sheet A1.0.2, it is unclear if the proposed removal of the stairway (near Grids B/3 and B/4) that currently communicates between with Floor l and Floor 2 can still maintain adequate egress for occupants at Floor 1. Please clarify or provide an additional egress plan demonstrating where Floor 1 occupants have adequate means of egress. IBC 1001.1. 3. Please provide design calculations and an infill framing plan as a result of removing the stairway. Electing this component as a deferred submittal is cannot be accepted as it is unclear what the loading and design criteria is as it is not listed on the plans. Also, it is atypical for the Architect of Record (as the registered design professional in responsible charge) to review the structural engineering components as a design -build deferred submittal as it may exceed the scope of architectural duties. Please provide additional information as required. IBC 107.3.4.1. 4. On Sheet A1.1, it appears that only one bathroom is being updated for the purposes of satisfying the requirement of accessibility while proposing the use of gender neutral facilities. Per IBC 1109.2, Exception 3 notes that an additional restroom may be required to be accessible as the minimum requirement is designated to be not less than the sum of required accessible separate male plus female rooms. Given that occupants in the proposed space may not have access to the accessible restrooms shown in the existing (NIC) space, it is unclear if this accessible toilet room count is being achieved within the proposed tenant space. Please clarify. IBC 1109.2. Please verify the Type of Construction of this structure. Previous records indicate that the Type of Construction is listed as III -A at the time of original construction. However, plans indicate this is II -A on the set. Please verify or provide justification for the change on the Type of Construction such that it is in accordance with IBC 601. 6. On Sheet A1.1, please clarify if the furniture walls for the offices are to receive wall bracing similar to other partitions or are these similar to cubical walls.
