1. Please provide the project specification book.

Sheet 0.1
1. Add City of Tucson Amendments to the list of governing codes for this project.

2. Revise Code Block to indicate 1998 IECC which has been adopted by the City of Tucson.

3. Review plumbing fixture requirement tabulations as the numbers shown to be provided are less than those listed in the schedule as being the minimum required.

4. Include area of ambulance canopy in the total area figures, and identify the square foot area as a separate line item. Ref. IBC Appendix Table A-29-A.

5. Denote in Code Data the requirement for an automatic fire detection system for spaces that are allowed to be open into corridor pursuant to IBC 407.56, and also indicate the manual fire alarm system as required by IBC 907.2.6.

Sheet 1.0
1. Provide Key Plan and Gridline References in order to place the intended work area with respect to the location within the facility.

Sheet 1.1
1. Provide plan references to tested/listed fire resistive assemblies for walls and ceiling where applicable/required to be of fire resistive construction. Attach copies of the listed assemblies, or incorporate into the drawings the listed/tested assemblies or detail, exactly as described in the listing, all material/construction/attachment requirements. Alternately the IBC Chapter 7 Table and item number could be referenced. See IBC 703.

2. Provide note in Code Data Section indicating that Special Inspection is required for spray applied fire proofing (compete a City of Tucson Special Inspection Certificate at time of permit issuance). Ref. IBC 1704.11. also indicate Special Inspection for smoke barriers per IBC 909.

3. Clarify in Code Data Section if spray applied fireproofing is to be a Deferred Submittal item (See IBC 106.3.4.2). Denote on plan that a Key Plan identifying all members to receive the spray applied fireproofing, and listing the members' classification as primary or secondary member along with the required density and thickness of coating must be included as a part of the Deferred Submittal, or supply the above referenced information at resubmittal.

5. Please clarify method of providing for corridor construction that forms a barrier to limit the transfer of smoke as the partition types do not show corridor walls extending to floor or roof deck above. See IBC 407.3. An acoustical lay-in ceiling does not appear to provide a sufficient smoke barrier since tiles could be easily left out by maintenance, broken, forced out during fire, installed with gaps, or very little edge support, etc. Reflect sealing requirements for smoke retardation when corridor walls do not extend to deck along with revision to the type of ceiling. Coordinate with Plumbing, Mechanical and Electrical Plans for penetrations, and also include any medical equipment with supports penetrating the ceiling.
6. Provide for separation of Equipment Room 1190 if used for storage of equipment pursuant to IBC 302.1.1. Also address Janitor Room 1111 (over 100 s.f. in area), and Room 1235 on Sheet 1.2.

Address penetrations of non-rated assemblies per UBC 711.4.3 as applicable.

9. Clarify piping materials for air tube system in Keynote 3 (combustible or non-combustible) for this phase and address other existing areas where the system runs. See IBC 711.4.3.1.

10. Corridors cannot be interrupted as they must be continuous to the exits pursuant to IBC 407.2 and dead-end conditions cannot exceed 20' per IBC 1004.3.2.3. Revise the area containing Rooms 1128, 1121, 1117 pursuant to IBC 407.2.1, Item 4.

15. Elevator Shaft Partition Symbol does not appear in Legend; please clarify.

16. Reflect compliance with IBC 709.7 for joints in smoke barrier, and with 712 for joints in fire-rated floor/future floors. These elements are not permitted to be deferred as the confirmation of a compliant method needs to occur prior to finding out later in the construction that it cannot be done with the dimensions/materials currently available.

17. Clarify the intent of the fire wall denoted as Wall Type G at Room 1102, and revise Legend to clearly reflect each different fire rated wall type in the planset, as this area appears to be a 2-hr wall per Legend, but Plan Details and Door/Window Schedule conflict with 2-hr requirements.

Clarify lateral and gravity design of the proposed steel frames including option with future second floor. Clearly indicate and show computer input data or frame diagrams with Dead and Live Load values applicable to each frame in each direction. If current structural design intends to design frames with future second level, then helicopter's load would not be possible to apply at floor level, but at roof. Recheck Lateral Calculations developing building weight where such load is taken at floor level.
