Automatic smoke detection is required. 11. For buildings with two or more floors, including sub -floors, the alarm system must call point -by -point reporting to an alarm center. 12. An approved automatic suppression system shall be provided as required by City Ordinance No. 3021- 07, Chapter 16.76, of the Everett Municipal Code. The system must include a mechanical water gong bell. Plans for any such system shall be submitted to the Engineering & Public Services Department for examination and approval. Such plans shall include plans for the underground mains that will supply the sprinkler system. The type of sprinkler to be installed will be determined by the Building Official. It may be an NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D system depending upon several factors. Sprinkler installation shall not begin without an approved and stamped set of plans from the Engineering & Public Services Department. The Fire Department will also review the plans and shall field inspect the installation based only on approved plans that must be on site. Changes to plans must be approved by both the Engineering & Public Services and Fire Departments. Aboveground sprinkler piping shall be hydrostatically tested as established in NFPA Standard 13. Underground piping shall be hydrostatically tested and flushed as established in NFPA Standard 24 for private fire mains. (Below -ground piping must be installed by Washington State Patrol Licensed Underground Sprinkler line certified "U" installers. For further information, contact the State Fire Marshal's Office at (360) 596-3900 or contact the Everett Fire Department at (425) 257-8124.) All such tests shall be witnessed by a Fire Department inspector. Call (425) 257-8124 or (425) 257-8120 to make an appointment for inspection. Contractors' materials and test certificates shall be submitted to the Everett Fire Department prior to issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy. Call (425) 257-8124 for more information. 13. Sprinkler shutoff valves shall be provided on each floor in every building three or more stories high, including below -grade floors. 14. Standpipe systems shall comply with NFPA 14. Standpipe systems shall be installed throughout buildings where the floor level of the highest story is located more than 30 feet above the lowest level of the fire department vehicle access, or where the floor level of the lowest story is located more than 30 feet below the highest level of fire department vehicle access. Combination sprinkler standpipe is permitted. 15. The Snohomish County Emergency Radio System is employed by the City of Everett Fire Department emergency crews and operates at 800 MHz. Large metal -framed or metal and concrete buildings can weaken the signal so that communication and, therefore, firefighter safety is compromised. This structure must meet the requirements of EMC 16.03, Section 510, which specifically addresses required radio system performance standards in this structure. Your attention to this feature early in the planning stages will help avoid a costly, last-minute retroactive installation of radio signal amplification antennae and other equipment.
