We specify fall-guard over each translucent panel,refer to detail 51A2.20. .Item 2: Please show primary and secondary roof drainage,per UPC section 1101.1.1. Response: The FedEx Terminal facility is constructed with a pre-engineered metal seamed roof at a 1:12 pitch that terminates at a roof gutter system. There are no flat roof sections that would require roof drains and secondary roof drains. The"roof gutters are open top design such that if a blockage in multiple downspouts were to occur, although highly unlikely,the water would overflow the gutter as opposed.to being backed up onto the roof. The roof is in no danger of water entrapment that would be subjected to standing water due to the pitched roof design with no parapets. Item 3: Please provide plumbing fixture calculations per the Washington State amended IBC Chapter 29. a. The number of fixtures provided appear to be lower than what is required for the women's toilet room: 3 water closets appear to be required per IBC table 2902.1, as amended by the State of Washington. b. Why do.the calculations refer to the OBC? c. _Why is there a reference to the actual occupant load, when the calculated occupant load should be used for determining exits,plumbing fixtures, etc.? Response: Refer to the revised plumbing fixture calculations on the Code Summary of the Cover sheet. The calculations no longer refer to the OBC and the actual occupant load has been removed.
