06/21/2016 ROBERT SHERRY WATER REVIEW Reqs Change Provide a letter from Tucson Water (contact: Richard Sarti, 520-837-2215) stating that locating the water meter set and the backflow preventer within the building is acceptable to Tucson Water. If permission to locate the meter set and backflow preventer in the building is granted, revise the drawings to show how the equipment will be installed with the required maintenance and access space. [Initial comment: Water meters and reduced pressure zone backflow prevention assemblies are required to be installed in locations accessible to Tucson Water. Contact Richard Sarti, New developments Manager, (520) 837-2215, to coordinate access with Tucson Water. Reference: Chapter XXVII, Article V, Section 27-72, the Tucson Code, http://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/water/docs/backflow-ordinance.pdf]
06/22/2016 ROBERT SHERRY PLUMBING-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Reqs Change 1. See waste & vent diagram for B3-B3 on sheet P5.5; a drain line shall not be reduced in the direction of flow. Reference: Section 706.2, IPC 2012. [Initial comment: The fixture drain serving an automatic clothes washer shall connect to a fixture branch that is at least 3 inches in diameter. Also, a 2" horizontal branch (not a building drain) can accommodate a maximum of 6 drainage fixture units. Reference: Section 406.2 and Table 710.1 (2), IPC 2012.]
2. Comment not resolved; see General Notes (Water), item #4. [Initial comment: Provide pressure-absorbing devices for the water connections to appliances equipped with quick-acting or solenoid valves (see "General Notes (Water)" which specifies a dual check backflow preventer for this application). The pressure-absorbing devices shall conform to ASSE 1010. Reference: Section 604.9, IPC 2012.]
3. Comment not resolved; show the area of the balconies or decks that are combined with the roof drainage piping. [Initial comment: Provide the roof drain calculations (i.e. show the total area drained by each roof drain). Include the effect of any vertical walls that can divert rainfall onto the roof and show the area of the balconies or decks that are combined with the roof drainage piping. Reference: Section 1106, IPC 2012.]
4. The revised natural gas piping shows a total developed pipe length that does not agree with the dimensions shown on the gas piping schematic on sheet P5.1. Correct the size of the pipe segment following the branch serving the pool heater: 180 CFH @ 450 feet requires a 1-1/2" pipe based on Table 402.4 (2), IFGC 2012.
5. Sheet A2.12 calls for natural gas service to a fireplace on the fourth floor; coordinate with the architect and modify the gas piping plans as required.
6. Verify that no horizontal waste branches connect to the base of a waste stack within 10 diameters of the stack. Reference: Section 704.3, IPC 2012.
7. Verify that a manhole is provided within 200-feet of the connection of the building drain to the building sewer. Reference: Section 708.3.2, IPC 2012. Note: the installation of a manhole on private property will require submission of the plans to the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality.
8. Architectural detail 16/A8.05 depicts a circular scupper but it doesn't identify its location. Clarify the application of the detail and provide calculations to verify that the size of the scupper complies with Section 1108.3, IPC 2012 for the area served.
06/22/2016 ROBERT SHERRY MECHANICAL-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Reqs Change 1. Show how the penetration of the fire-rated horizontal assemblies by the dryer exhaust ducts and the bathroom exhaust ducts complies with the exception to Section 607.6.1, IMC 2012. Provide an architectural construction detail of the fire-rated shaft enclosing the garage exhaust. [Initial comment: Explain how the required horizontal and vertical fire separations and the rated egress corridors are to be maintained with the proposed routing of the exhaust ducts (dryer, bathroom, EF-7, EF-8, and EF-9). Reference: Sections 708.3 and 711.3, IBC 2012.]
2. Comment not resolved. Provide calculations to show how the ventilation requirements of Section 403.3, IMC 2012 will be provided (see Table 403.3, IMC 2012). Note that ASHRAE Standard 62.2 has not been adopted by the City of Tucson. [Initial comment: Provide mechanical ventilation for the residential areas of the building per Table 403.3, IMC 2012. Reference: Section 401.2 and 403.3, IMC 2012 and Sections R402.4.1.2 and R403.5, IECC 2012.]
3. The door schedules do not show that the closet doors have the requisite opening of 100 square inches for dryer make up air. [Initial comment: Show how the dryer installation complies with Section 504.5, IMC 2012.]
4. Comment not resolved; no cut sheet for a stackable washer/dryer was included. Section 504.6.1, IMC 2012 calls for a 4" diameter duct with no other options for a domestic dryer. If the dryer specified is not capable of extended duct lengths, how will the dryers on the ground floor be vented? Reference: Section 504.6.4.1, IMC 2012. [Initial comment: Provide listing information for the clothes dryers to show that the proposed dryer exhaust ducts are sized correctly. Reference: Sections 304.1 and 504.6.1, IMC 2012.]
5. Clarify the dryer duct system. Do they run independently to the roof or are they to be combined per Section 504.8, IMC 2012? Does the termination of the dryer ducts include a backdraft damper but no screen? Reference: Sections 504.2, 504.4, and 607.6.1, IMC 2012
6. Comment not addressed; no list of chemicals and their storage quantities were included in the submittal. [Initial comment: Provide the proposed types and quantities of chemicals that will be stored or used in the pool equipment room. Clarify how the exhaust flow rate was determined for the room. Reference: Section 502.8, IMC 2012.]
7. Provide calculations to show that the net open area of the two 12"x12" grilles complies with the requirements of Section 304.6.1, IFGC 2012 for a total input of 400 MBH. [Initial comment: All of the combustion air for the pool heater appears to be coming from inside of the building. Show how the size of each of the two openings to the hallway complies with the requirements of Sections 304.5.3.1 and 304.10, IFGC 2012.]
8. Revise the code reference shown in the HVAC Load Calculations; the 2012 IECC does not have a Section 503.2. [Initial comment: Provide heating and cooling load calculations that justify the capacities of the heating and cooling equipment specified for the project. Reference: Sections C403.2.1 and C403.2.2, IECC 2012, and Section 312.1, IMC 2012.]
9. The continuous U-values shown on the architectural sections for the roof and the exterior walls along with the cavity U-values for the exterior walls are different than shown on the Envelope Compliance certificate. [Initial comment: Revise the energy code analysis for the building envelope, coordinating the building components used in the analysis with those shown on the drawing (i.e. coordinate the wall types shown on the plans with the wall types used in the COMcheck analysis). Reference: Section C303.1, IECC 2012, as amended by the City of Tucson.]
10. Comment not resolved; the architectural drawings do not appear to address this issue. [Initial comment: Show how the residential portions of the building envelope are to be constructed to limit the air leakage per the requirements of Section R402.4, IECC 2012.]

06/28/2016 KEN BROUILLETTE FIRE REVIEW Reqs Change PLEASE PROVIDE COMMENTS TO THE PREVIOUS ITEMS NOTED AND LISTED BELOW AS I COULD NOT FIND A COMMENT LETTER:
Several of the notes on the IBC Code Review indicate that this building may be have a NFPA 13R designed fire sprinkler system. Please clarify that only a NFPA 13 system will be installed. This is based on IBC 506.3 that requires a NFPA 13 system if needed for area increase.

Code sheet G0.03 does not indicate any type of fire alarm system for the Group R-2 Occupancy.

Sheet E2.6 indicates that card readers will be used on egress doors in the stairways. Are these doors to be locked from the egress side? Please indicate compliance with Section 1008.1.9.11.
