Changes to plans must be approved by both the Engineering & Public Services and Fire <br /> Departments. <br /> Aboveground sprinkler piping shall be hydrostatically tested as established in NFPA Standard <br /> 13. Underground piping shall be hydrostatically tested and flushed as established in NFPA <br /> Standard 24 for private fire mains. (Below-ground piping must be installed by Washington <br /> State Patrol Licensed Underground Sprinkler line certified "U" installers. For further <br /> information, contact the State Fire Marshal's Office at (360) 596-3900 or contact the <br /> Everett Fire Department at (425) 257-8124.) All such tests shall be witnessed by a Fire <br /> Department inspector. Call (425) 257-8124 or (425) 257-8120 to make an appointment for <br /> inspection. <br /> Contractors' materials and test certificates shall be submitted to the Everett Fire Department <br /> prior to issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy. <br /> Call (425) 257-8124 for more information. <br /> 12. Sprinkler shutoff valves shall be provided on each floor in every building three or more stories <br /> high, including below-grade floors if needed. <br /> 13. The Snohomish County Emergency Radio System is employed by the City of Everett Fire <br /> Department emergency crews and operates at 800 MHz. Large metal-framed or metal and <br /> concrete buildings can weaken the signal so that communication and, therefore, firefighter <br /> safety is compromised. This structure must meet the requirements of EMC 16.03, Section 510, <br /> which specifically addresses required radio system performance standards in this structure. <br /> Your attention to this feature early in the planning stages will help avoid a costly, last- <br /> minute retroactive installation of radio signal amplification antennae and other <br /> equipment. For details, call the Everett Fire Department Plan Reviewer at (425) 257-8124. <br /> 14. Floors and sub-floors at or above grade in buildings (other than parking garages) shall be <br /> marked with numbers, in ascending order, beginning with the number"1" (for the ground floor or <br /> first floor), then "2", "3", etc. Letters shall be used only to designate specific areas as detailed <br /> below. <br /> Floors below grade in buildings (other than parking garages) shall be marked with the letter"B" <br /> (when there is only one floor below grade). When there is more than one floor below grade, <br /> they shall be marked with the letter"B" followed by numbers, in descending order, beginning <br /> with the number"1" (for the floor immediately below the ground floor or first floor), then "2", "3", <br /> etc. Example—"B1", "B2", "B3", in descending order. <br /> Mezzanines shall be marked with the letter"M". When there is more than one mezzanine, they <br /> shall be marked with the letter"M" followed by numbers, in ascending order. Example — "M1", <br /> "M2", etc. <br /> Parking garages shall use the letter "P" to designate floors. <br /> When there is only one parking level at or above grade, it shall be marked with the letter"P". <br /> When there is more than one parking level at or above grade, they shall be marked with the <br /> letter"P" followed by numbers, in ascending order. Example — "P1" "P2", etc. <br />
