The delay electronics of the delayed egress locking system shall deactivate upon actuation of the sprinkler system 2.

A sign shall be provided on the door located above and within 12" of the door exit hardware. 6.1 For doors that swing in the direction of egress, the sign shall read: PUSH UNTIL ALARM SOUNDS. DOOR CAN BE OPENED IN 15 (30) SECONDS. 6.2 The sign shall comply with the visual character requirements in ICC A117.1. Summery: 1. We believe we meet the requirements for a delayed egress door at the end of the 75-foot dead-end corridor as listed above. We request you review this and verify this approach will be acceptable to the City of Everett. 2. We request the 30-second delay rather than the 15 second delay per Section1010.1.9.7 Delayed Egress Exception to item #4 as: - The corridor serves only (7) offices where providers will be seeing patients. These patients will always be with a provider who can direct the patient in case the office area needs to evacuate. - There will be no incapacitated patients, all can function without assistance. - Given the low volume of staff and only fully functional patients in this area, we believe a 30-second delay door should be acceptable for this egress door.
