01/02/2008 ROBERT SHERRY MECHANICAL-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Denied 1. Revise the submitted energy code compliance calculations (envelope) using the correct jurisdiction (Pima County < 4,000 feet on ComCheck version 3.4.2). Coordinate and clarify the drawings, specifications, and the energy calculations. The drawings show 2" of polyisocyanurate insulation with an R-value of 6.00 per inch (Specification 07 22 00) but the energy calculations list a continuous R-value of 16.0. The exterior walls are specified to have a 1" EIFS insulation board with an R-value of 3.80 per inch (Specification 07 24 00, 2.02 B (5)) but the calculations show a continuous R-value of 16.0. Similarly, the specifications (Specification 07 21 00) call for a spray-on insulation for the bottom of the deck over the parking garage with an R-value of R-19 but the calculations call for a continuous insulation of R-16. Reference Section 101.4, International Energy Conservation Code
2. Comment not resolved. Terminate condensate drains in accordance with Section 307.2.1, IMC 2003, as amended by the City of Tucson. (see HVAC General Specification #26, M-001 and detail 4/MP-401)
a. Condensate drains may not terminate over a roof drain (sheet MP-103) unless the roof drain terminates at or above grade in an area capable or absorbing the condensate flow without surface drainage.
b. Condensate drains from the rooftop units may not terminate onto the roof (detail 4/MP-401). Revise the plans to show the size, route, and termination of the condensate drains for the rooftop A/C units.
3. Comment not resolved. Proper venting of the two boilers includes installation in accordance with its listing and with the manufacturer's installation instructions. The manufacturer, A. O. Smith, requires that horizontal terminations not be made over areas of pedestrian traffic. Show that the termination of the vents for the gas-fired water heaters, GWH-1 and GWH-2, comply with Section 503.6.6, IFGC 2003.
01/02/2008 ROBERT SHERRY WATER REVIEW Denied 1. The submitted civil drawing, sheet 4 of 9, indicates an existing 2" water meter and a 2" water service to the building but it is unclear if there are two such services. Provide a letter from Tucson Water confirming that the use of a 2" water meter (or even two 2" meters) will be allowed for this project (1314.5 fixture units equates to a demand of 248 GPM; a 2" water meter is generally limited to a demand of 80 GPM).
2. Provide the size of the backflow preventer(s) for the site water service; no size is indicated on the civil drawing. Reference Section 610.2, UPC 2003.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Revised site plan and additional requested documents
01/17/2008 LINDA BUCZYNSKI ELECTRICAL-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Denied TRANSMIT ORIGINAL DRAWINGS WITH NEXT SUBMITTAL.

PLEASE CALL AT 791-5550 X1106 OR EMAIL AT Linda.Buczynski@tucsonaz.gov
IF YOU CARE TO DISCUSS.

1. Mechanical Engineer shall clarify circuit requirements MCA and MOCP, for AC units, before Code review. Which slash rating is applicable to the unit specified. Reference Sheet M-400, AC Unit System Schedule. THIS COMMENT MADE ON THE REVIEW OF 6/6/07. Minimum circuit ampacity on Sheet M-400 still appears like "26.1/28.5." Maximum fuse/breaker on Sheet M-400 still appears like "25/30." Mechanical Engineer shall identify which of the two options is required for these units, and remove the one which does not apply. SUBMITTAL REVIEWED 01/10/08 PRESENTS 2 DIFFERENT CU UNITS, SCHEDULES, AND MCAs. PLEASE CLARIFY.
2. Sheets E-101L and E-101LA not yet reviewed. Provide panel and circuit number for all electrical loads. All lettering minimum font size 1/8". Eliminate overwrites. THIS COMMENT WAS MADE ON THE REVIEW DATED 6/6/07. Could not coordinate drawings. Sheet E-003 too small font size to review. There is also some text which is too small to review on Sheet E-101L. Do not see Dimming Panel channel numbers, perhaps they are too small to read. There is some text too small to read on Sheet E-101LA. NOTE THAT THERE IS NO SHEET E-101L IN THIS SET, ALTHOUGH THIS PANEL IS NOTED IN THE RESPONSE LETTER OF 12/5/07 AND THE INDEX TO THE DRAWINGS.
3. For elevator HVAC branch circuits EM-67, EM-73, or EM-42, the overcurrent device shall be located in the elevator machine room. Reference NEC 620.22 (B), 620.53. COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. NO SHEET E-100P CURRENT SUBMITTAL.
4. For elevator car lighting branch circuits EM-65, EM-71, or EM-40, the overcurrent device shall be located in the elevator machine room. Reference NEC 620.22 (A), 620.53. COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. NO SHEET E-100P CURRENT SUBMITTAL.
5. Elevator machine room light and receptacle shall be on the same branch circuit. Reference NEC 620.23 (A). COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. NO SHEET E-100P CURRENT SUBMITTAL.
6. Elevator pit lighting circuits EM-B (30) and EM-B (32) have a symbol not defined. Reference Sheet E-100P. This symbol appears to represent a light with guarding. COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. NO SHEET E-100P CURRENT SUBMITTAL.
7. Please locate Circuit EM-B (34) on the plans. COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. NO SHEET E-100P CURRENT SUBMITTAL.
8. Provide listing information on the generator. THIS COMMENT WAS MADE ON THE REVIEWS OF 6/6/07 AND 10/25/07. CURRENT SUBMITTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE LISTING INFORMATION. IT NEEDS TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR ON THE PLANS THAT THIS EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN LISTED BY AN INDEPENDENT TESTING LABORATORY, SUCH AS UL, ETL, ETC.
9. It appears that the location of the disconnecting means for the Fire Pump Service, is not installed remote from the disconnecting means for normal service. Reference NEC 695.3 (A) (1), and 230.72 (B). COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. ON DRAWING E-200 THE LOCATION OF THE FIRE PUMP DISCONNECTING MEANS 19' AWAY IS SUPERIOR TO AN ADJACENT ENCLOSURE/SECTION, BUT FROM THE LINE DIAGRAM IS APPEARS THAT THEN INTENT IS TO INSTALL THE ACTUAL SERVICE DISCONNECT FOR THE FIRE PUMP IN ENCLOSURE B. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT IF THERE WERE A FIRE IN THAT AREA OF THE ELECTRICAL ROOM IT WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO EFFECT THE FIRE PUMP SERVICE THAN IF SUCH WERE NOT THE CASE. PLANS EXAMINER WILLING TO DISCUSS.
10. Not that the Fire Pump Control Cabinet is located in the Electrical Room on Sheet E-200, and "Fire Pump Controller" appears as very cloudy lettering on an item on Sheet E-100P. Please clarify this very important location. Electrical Plans Examiner to review per NEC 695.7, 695.12, and 695.14 after such clarification. COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. NO SHEET E-100P CURRENT SUBMITTAL.
11. Provide legible drawings. The architectural backgrounds are not visible on some of the sheets and some of the lettering has been overwritten so that it is not legible. This is most acutely noted on Sheets such as E-100P, where it is not possible to decipher the extent of the room within which the Fire Pump is located. COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY. NO SHEET E-100P CURRENT SUBMITTAL.
12. Transfer equipment for emergency loads shall supply only emergency loads. Reference NEC 700.6 (D). PANEL EM IS SUPPLIED FROM SUCH A TRANSFER SWITCH AND IS DEDICATED TO CRITICAL LOADS; IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT ELECTRICAL LOADS SUCH AS THE HEAT TRACING AND PANEL TELE ARE EMERGENCY LOADS; WILLING TO DISCUSS, AND HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF PROJECT ARCHITECT TOM LONG, WHO WILL BE LOOKING INTO THIS.
13. Please supply coordination study and/or other information as necessary to demonstrate compliance with NEC 620.62.
14. Fixture GG wattage not specified. No way to evaluate lumens. PREVIOUS COMMENT. SHEET SLTG-100 HAS THE ENTIRE CONDUIT SYSTEM AND REFERENCES TO POLES. CLARIFY INTENT, SPECIFICALLY, ON THE PLANS.
15. Fixture KC can NOT be considered UNSHIELDED for the purpose of the lumen calculation, because it is being installed as an unlight. PREVIOUS COMMENT. THIS FIXTURE STILL APPEARS ON SHEETS E-700 AND E-701 AND AS SUCH NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE INSTALLED LUMEN CALCULATIONS.
16. This site is zoned for Commercial, not Residential, and this will help when you rework these calculations. THIS COMMENT WAS MADE ON THE REVIEWS OF 6/6/07 AND 10/25/07. THE CALCULATIONS ARE STILL USING THE ALLOWABLE LUMENS FOR RESIDENTIAL ZONING, VERY DISADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE CLIENT.
17. Provide a detail for the pole and foundation for Fixture GG. If the pole is greater than 20' in height, such details, and calculations for both pole and foundation, shall be sealed by a Registered Structural Engineer. THIS COMMENT WAS MADE ON THE REVIEWS DATED 6/6/07 AND 10/25/07. SINCE IT IS NOT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR WHETHER THE PARKING LOT LIGHTING IS IN THE CURRENT SCOPE OF WORK, THIS COMMENT REMAINS.
18. Panel EM-B was addressed previously. As presently configured, its total for Section 1 + Section 2 is 91.90 KVA, or 255.3A, without even 25% for continuous load and largest motor. Now, this would certainly exceed the 225A rating of the feeder, which originates at Panel MDP-1. Also please note that the conduit run on Keynote "225" does not appear on the "TAG" legend on Sheet E-300B. Keynote Q1 on the Riser Diagram calls for a 42-circuit panel and this is 2-section for a total of 84.
19. Main generator breaker WAS NOT changed per previous comment and response.
20. Total for Panel EM-MDP is 251.1 KVA, not 234.27. This computes to 698A of connected load. With the addition of 25% for largest motor and continuous loads, this will overload the 700A CB at the generator. This loading was addressed previously.
21. Electrical load on RP-B Section 2, is 26.7 KVA, not 6.8. This error accounts for only half of the current through the feeder. THIS COMMENT WAS MADE ON THE PREVIOUS SUBMITTAL. NOT CORRECTED ON THE PANEL SCHEDULE. AND PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH THE RISER DIAGRAM FEEDS THIS PANEL FROM MDP-1, THIS PANEL IN NOT ON MDP-1. PLEASE CORRECT THIS HERE AND IN ALL OTHER INSTANCES AS APPLICABLE.
22. Complete/check panel loads on Sheet E-303 and E-304. PREVIOUS COMMENT. RP-A2 HAS 43.92 KVA, NOT 31.20 KVA, PLEASE CORRECT PANEL SCHEDULE. 2-RP-A1 IS A 400A PANEL ACCORDING TO ITS SCHEDULE AND A 200A PANEL ACCORDING TO KEYNOTE G ON THE RISER DIAGRAM. PLANS EXAMINER KEEPS FINDING ERRORS OF THIS SORT AND WILL CHECK REMAINDER OF JOB AFTER ENGINEER OF RECORD PERFORMS 100% INSPECT BEFORE SEALING DRAWINGS.
23. Panel 2-RP-A2 would draw 394A before the application of demand factors for continuous loading and largest motor. Please demonstrate that this 400A panel is not overloaded on a phase-by-phase basis. See comment above.
24. Panel MDP-1 powers RP-B on Riser Diagram. Put RP-B on MDP-2 panel schedule.
25. RP-A is powered from MDP-1 on Riser Diagram. Not on MDP-1 panel schedule. No panel schedule for this panel.
26. One Elevator is powered from Panel EM according to the Electrical Riser Diagram, and another is powered from MDP. If this is the case, show this on the panel schedules. THIS COMMENT WAS MADE ON THE SUBMITTAL OF 6/6/07. One elevator is on Ckt EM-MDP (1,3,5). According to the panel schedule this is a spare. CURRENT SUBMITTAL BOTH ELEVATORS ON EM-B, FROM TRANSFER SWITCH LABELED NON-CRITICAL, NOT CRITICAL AS RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS COMMENT INDICATES.
27. One elevator is on Ckt MDP (104,106,108). No such circuit on the panel schedule. THIS SUBMITTAL BOTH ELEVATORS ARE POWERED FROM PANEL EM ACCORDING TO THE RISER DIAGRAM, BUT THEY ARE ON PANEL EM-B SCHEDULE.
28. Panel EM IS 400A on the Electrical Riser Diagram, 600A on its schedule and Keynote H. Please clarify.
29. Not clear how Panel DIM could have all spares and 131.6KVA. Drawing E 003 as referenced does not have circuit numbers. Includes pool lighting, which to our understanding was removed from this project. Willing to discuss.
30. Please correct load on Panel MDP-1. Appears to be 480.9KVA, not 425.4. WILL CHECK AFTER ALL PANELS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. SEE ABOVE.
31. Not known why emergency and normal feeders to the fire pump are at different conductor sizes, those being Tag 1600 Vs. Tag 400. The most critical point is that the overcurrent protective device for Tag 400, a 400A CB, does not appear to carry the locked-rotor current from the fire pump motor per NEC 695.4 (B) (1); same for the 2 sets of 350 MCM.
32. Could not find Panel Schedule 3-RP-B2. Check for load calculations incomplete. Please correct this and in all other cases which may apply.
33. 7-RP-A2 is a 400A Panel according to the Riser Diagram and panel schedule, and a 100A panel according to the Keynote F. PLEASE CROSS-CHECK ALL PANELS, WE WROTE THIS ONE UP LAST REVIEW. AND WE'RE STILL FINDING ERRORS, SUCH AS WITH 225A PANEL EM-BPER RISER DIAGRAM, WHICH IS 400A ON PANEL SCHEDULE AND KEYNOTE Q1.
34. 7-RP-B2 is a 400A Panel according to the Riser Diagram and panel schedule, and a 100A panel according to the Keynote F. PLEASE CROSS-CHECK ALL PANELS, WE WROTE THIS ONE UP LAST REVIEW. AND WE'RE STILL FINDING ERRORS, SUCH AS WITH 225A PANEL EM-BPER RISER DIAGRAM, WHICH IS 400A ON PANEL SCHEDULE AND KEYNOTE Q1.
35. Load calculations on Riser Diagram allocate 130.31 KW of connected load for lighting, whereas the actual connected load is aprox. 225 KW by tally. Load calculations on Riser Diagram allocate 130.31 KW of demand load for lighting, whereas the actual demand load is aprox. 280 KW by tally. Reference to NEC 220.12 is a minimum and we know that the loads are greater than that. Exterior lighting WAS considered in the above tallies. Plans Examiner tally for receptacles is 447KW for connected load and 228KW for demand load, not 210 and 110. Misc. loads could not be zero, because many receptacles are not counted at 180Va per outlet, and not all of the remaining loads are related to HVAC. There is no NEC 220.82 in the 2002 NEC; please correct here and elsewhere as applicable. Will review HVAC after Comment #1 above is clarified.
36. Please demonstrate, through manufacturer cut sheets or whatever mechanism, the basis for the 81.4 KW loading for the 31 HP units on Floors 4-7. Typical for the other floors. Reference load calcs, Sheet E-300. RESPONSE TO COMMENT DOES NOT FOLLOW CHART ON M-400. HOWEVER, FROM THE MECHANICAL PLANS EXAMINER, CODE PREVENTS THE COMPRESSOR FROM RUNNING SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE BACK-UP HEAT. THUS, THE LOADING SHOULD BE FOR THE WORST CASE. WILLING TO DISCUSS.
37. Panels have mains on the Electrical Riser Diagram, but are Main Lugs Only according to their panel schedules. Please clarify intent. THIS COMMENT WAS MADE ON THE PREVIOUS TWO SUBMITTALS. CHECK FOR ALL PANELS FOR WHICH THIS APPLIES. CORRECT LP-B, OLP, RP-A-1.
38. Please provide the sizing for the System Bonding Jumper for the 4000A service section. (12) (600) (0.125) = 900 MCM. Reference NEC 250.28 (D). THIS COMMENT IS DIRECTED AT THE SYSTEM BONDING JUMPER, NOT THE GROUNDING ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR.
39. Please provide the sizing for the System Bonding Jumper for the 1600A service section. Reference NEC 250.28 (D). Cannot advise on sizing because tag description is missing. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SIZING FOR THE FIRE PUMP SYSTEM BONDING JUMPER WOULD BE (5) (600) (0.125) = 375 MCM.
40. Size the Grounding Electrode Conductors coming directly out of the 4000A and 1600A service sections. IT APPEARS THAT THE 4/0 BONDED TO THE SPRINKLER AND DOMESTIC WATER SERVICES SHOULD BE SPECIFIED FOR COPPER, OR ELSE INCREASED IN SIZE TO 250 MCM. REFERENCE NEC 250.52 (A) (1) AND 250.66.
41. Provide the fault current rating of the Fire Pump ATS and Fire Pump Controller. It appears that there are over 35,000A AFC at the switch. Please review the basis of the 30,000A result, and provide the rating of this cabinet and switch. PROVIDE FAULT CURRENT RATING OF THIS SWITCH. IT APPEARS THAT AFC HERE IS 36,814 BY A CONSERVATIVE METHOD, AND THIS IS AT THE 30' CITED ON THE LINE DIAGRAM, NOT THE 19' REFERENCED IN CERTAIN RESPONSES TO PREVIOUS COMMENTS.
42. Please provide fault current rating at ATS-EM. It appears that there is greater than 40K available at this point. NOTE POINTING TO TRANSFER SWITCH FOR PANEL EM INDICATES 8961 AFC, GREATLY EXCEEDING 40816A. NO FAULT CURRENT RATING PROVIDED AT TRANSFER SWITCH.
43. Please provide fault current rating at ATS-EM-B. It appears that there is greater than 26K available at this point. NOTE POINTING TO TRANSFER SWITCH FOR PANEL EM-B INDICATES 8941 AFC, GREATLY EXCEEDING THE APPARENT 26057A. NO FAULT CURRENT RATING PROVIDED AT TRANSFER SWITCH.

12/28/2007 ROBERT SHERRY PLUMBING-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Denied 1. Comment not addressed. A permanently legible imprint of the registrant's seal and signature shall appear on either the cover, title, index page, or first sheet of each set of PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS. Reference Arizona Revised Statutes 32-125, Board of Technical Registration Rules R4-30-304.
2. Second request. A successful appeal to the building official has not been provided. The use of a single stack DWV system with unvented branch lines is not allowed per Section 311.4, UPC 2003. Provide documentation to justify the equivalency of this DWV system in an appeal to the building official. Reference Section 301.2, UPC 2003.
3. The storm leader diagram (sheet MP-302) references civil sheet 8 of 9 for the continuation of the storm water leaders. Provided those plans for review. Reference Section 103.2.3, UPC 2003.
4. Comment not resolved. The architectural drawings indicate the location of the scuppers in the parapet walls to be approximately 6" above the high point of the roof. The inlet flow line to the overflows or scuppers shall be no greater than 2" above the low point of the roof unless structural calculations indicate that the roof is capable of supporting the rainwater load. Provide the required structural calculations or show how secondary roof drainage is to be provided. Reference Section 1101.11.2, UPC 2003 and Section 1611.1, IBC 2003.
5. The minimum slope for a 3" waste line is ΒΌ" per foot (see sheet MP 208). Reference Section 708.0, UPC 2003.
6. All sections, other than the sanitizing section, of each 3-compartment sink shall be directly connected. Reference Sections 704.3 and 801.2.3, UPC 2003.
7. Comment not resolved. Normally open valves can be inadvertently left closed. The design of the water heater piping, as shown on sheet MP-400, with a valve located between the hot water storage tank and the expansion tank, makes it impossible for the expansion tank to accommodate the thermal expansion of the water in the water heater, as intended by Section 608.3, UPC 2003. Reference Section 505.6, UPC 2003.
8. Provide an oil separator for the pumped discharge from the elevator sumps. Reference Section 1009.1, UPC 2003.
9. Clarify where detail 5/MP-406 is being used and provide the listing information for the backwater valve. Reference Section 103.2.3, UPC 2003.
