The type of sprinkler to be installed will be determined by the Building Official. It may be an NFPA 13, <br /> NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D system depending upon several factors. Sprinkler installation shall not begin <br /> without an approved and stamped set of plans from the Engineering & Public Services Department. The <br /> Fire Department will also review the plans and shall field inspect the installation based only on approved <br /> plans that must be on site. Changes to plans must be approved by both the Engineering & Public <br /> Services and Fire Departments. <br /> Aboveground sprinkler piping shall be hydrostatically tested as established in NFPA Standard 13. <br /> Underground piping shall be hydrostatically tested and flushed as established in NFPA Standard 24 for <br /> private fire mains. (Below-ground piping must be installed by Washington State Patrol Licensed <br /> Underground Sprinkler line certified "U" installers. For further information, contact the State Fire <br /> Marshal's Office at (360) 596-3900 or contact the Everett Fire Department at (425) 257-8124.) All such <br /> tests shall be witnessed by a Fire Department inspector. Call (425) 257-8124 or(425) 257-8120 to <br /> make an appointment for inspection. <br /> Contractors' materials and test certificates shall be submitted to the Everett Fire Department prior to <br /> issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy. <br /> Call (425) 257-8124 for more information. <br /> A separate 4" supply from the street will be needed. <br /> 26. Sprinkler shutoff valves shall be provided on each floor in every building three or more stories high, <br /> including below-grade floors. <br /> 27. Standpipe systems shall comply with NFPA 14. Standpipe systems shall be installed throughout <br /> buildings where the floor level of the highest story is located more than 30 feet above the lowest level of <br /> the fire department vehicle access, or where the floor level of the lowest story is located more than 30 <br /> feet below the highest level of fire department vehicle access. <br /> A single 2%" fire department hose connection will be required on intermediate landings. <br /> 283he Snohomish County Emergency Radio System is employed by the City of Everett Fire Department <br /> emergency crews and operates at 800 MHz. Large metal-framed or metal and concrete buildings can <br /> weaken the signal so that communication and, therefore, firefighter safety is compromised. This <br /> structure must meet the requirements of EMC 16.03, Section 510, which specifically addresses required <br /> radio system performance standards in this structure. Your attention to this feature early in the planning <br /> stages will help avoid a costly, last-minute retroactive installation of radio signal amplification antennae <br /> and other equipment. For details, call the Everett Fire Department Plan Reviewer at (425) 257-8124. <br /> 29. Construction and demolition of buildings shall be in compliance with the provisions of the 2012 IFC, <br /> Chapter 33. <br /> 30. Floors and sub-floors at or above grade in buildings (other than parking garages) shall be marked with <br /> numbers, in ascending order, beginning with the number 1" (for the ground floor or first floor), then "2" <br /> "3", etc. Letters shall be used only to designate specific areas as detailed below. <br /> Floors below grade in buildings (other than parking garages) shall be marked with the letter"B" (when <br /> there is only one floor below grade). When there is more than one floor below grade, they shall be <br /> marked with the letter"B" followed by numbers, in descending order, beginning with the number"1" (for <br /> /1 <br />
