. �-i_.__ot� � August 28, ?�ou Mr. Ken Calahan Everett Buildin9 Dept. , 3002 Wetmore Everett, WA 98201 Attn: Ken Calahan Subject: REQUEST FOR VARIANCE OIJ THE JOHN FLUKE EXPANSION PROJECT IN EVERETT Dear Ken: It has been brought to our attention that some concern exists as to the application of a fan coil unit manufactured by the First Company as it relates to fan coil units beinq planned and designed for the John Fluke project in southwest Everett. The fan coil units as have been described to you by Allied Sheet P1eta1 Fabricators, Inc. point out that the basic unit which is UL approved has been modified by the addition of two separately UL approved components. It is our understanding that due to the modifica- tion caused by the addition of these UL components, that the code in its interpretation does not allow for this modification to be incorporated in a total unit and still remain to have its UL listing. Ken, I do feel that the units as designed and modified are in the best interests of the John Fluke Mfg. Co. , Inc. for the following reasons: 1 . The basic units are UL approved. 2. The added components to the basic unit are UL approved. 3. The timing and cost involved in obtaining new approval by UL upon the basic unit with these new components is totally excessive. 4. The delays which could be created in attempting to obtain this total UL listing would preclude our ability to occupy the facility on schedule at this time. 5. Qur� suppliers and contractors have not been successful in locating a prese�ntly manufactured unit which incorporates all of the functions which we ar•e attempting to provide. 6. The design and modification of the basic fan coil unit as identified was intended to provide the John Fluke Mfg. Co. , Inc. with the most energy efficient heat distribution system that is possible with the over all design concepts employed. �pAn qyb Wy.Cp.� Int./pp BoK�.7210/Mountleke Ternce WA BBO/3/(208) 77�2211 /T4X 910 M9 2850/TLX 32 0013
