Architectural: 1. The "Building Code Information" section on Sheet A-000 appears to state that either sprinkler and fire alarms systems are existing or will be provided. Based on a review of the building and record documents, it does not appear that either system is existing. If this is an error in the drawings, please confirm that these items should be redlined to state "NO". Otherwise, clarify the intended construction. —SDH Response: This was in error and is not sprinklered or has a fire alarm. 2. The existing fire -rating of the west demising wall is not clear from the historical record. It appears that this wall possibly should have been a rated wall to separate the A-2 and B spaces (formerly A-3 and B-3, respectively, per the 1980's UBC codes). It is noted that while the A-2 is in a compartmentalized area enclosed by two-hour "area separation" walls with parapets projecting above the roof, it does not appear to be separated from the B- occupancies within this area, nor does this area appear to be sprinklered. Existing walls being repaired are not required to be upgraded to current code per the IEBC if they were correctly constructed per the code under which they were originally permitted. However, it is not clear that the original construction was code - compliant. We recommend reviewing the existing construction for this wall and the original code requirements, and designing any repairs including upgrades as appropriate. Details for any proposed fire -rated construction should include references to listed tested assemblies per IBC Section 703.3. - SDH Response: See updated sheet A-103 and A-801 with updated details E7/A-801 and C1/A-801. The south "area separation" wall is a two-hour rated wall per the original construction drawings. A detail should be provided including a reference to a listed tested assembly per IBC Section 703.3. Note that this wall appears to be continuous through the roof structure. The continuity detail if provided should be designed accordingly. - SDH Response: See updated sheet A-801 with updated details E7/A-801 and C1/A-801. Please contact me if you have questions.
