begin without an approved and stamped set of plans from the Engineering & Public Services <br /> Department. The Fire Department will also review the plans and shall field inspect the <br /> installation based only on approved plans that must be on site. Changes to plans must be <br /> approved by both the Engineering & Public Services and Fire Departments. <br /> Aboveground sprinkler piping shall be hydrostatically tested as established in NFPA <br /> Standard 13. Underground piping shall be hydrostatically tested and flushed as established <br /> in NFPA Standard 24 for private fire mains. (Below-ground piping must be installed by <br /> Washington State Patrol Licensed Underground Sprinkler line certified "U" installers. For <br /> further information, contact the State Fire Marshal's Office at (360) 570-3134 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) 257-8126 to make an appointment for 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 /> Reference 2009 IFC 914.3. <br /> 29. A secondary on-site water supply equal to the hydraulically calculated sprinkler demand, <br /> including the hose stream requirement, shall be provided for high-rise buildings in Seismic <br /> Design Category C, D, E or F as determined by the International Building Code. The <br /> secondary water supply shall have a duration not less than 30 minutes as determined by the <br /> occupancy hazard classification in accordance with NFPA 13. <br /> 30. Sprinkler shutoff valves shall be provided on each floor in every building three or more <br /> stories high, including below-grade floors. <br /> 31. Standpipe systems, mid-landing, shall comply with NFPA 14. <br /> 32. 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 16.03.060, <br /> Section 511, which specifically addresses required radio system performance standards in <br /> this structure. Your attention to this feature early in the planning stages will help avoid a <br /> costly, last-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 /> 33. 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 <br /> floor or first floor), then "2", "3", etc. Letters shall be used only to designate specific areas <br /> as detailed below. <br /> Floors below grade in buildings (other than parking garages) shall be marked with the letter <br /> "B" (when there is only one floor below grade). When there is more than one floor below <br /> grade, they shall be marked with the letter"B"followed by numbers, in descending order, <br /> beginning with the number "1" (for the floor immediately below the ground floor or first floor), <br /> then "2", "3", etc. Example - "Bl", "B2", "B3", in descending order. <br />
