Automatic Sprinkler Svstem Inspections of the sprinkler system for Phase 7 areas were completed on May 10,2010.These inspections included a visual inspection of the sprinklers in their final installed condition and testing of the valves and flow switches associated with Phase 7,concurrent with the fire alarm system testing. The following deficiencies were found during our inspection: 1. Unit 3B missing�re sprinkler escutcheon plates. 2. Stair 5 exit sign was not illuminated. 3. Unit 3G detectors not all sounding at once.Detectors did sound individually upon activation. 4. House Keeping missing fire sprinkler escutcheon plate. BCER advised the Weitz Company that the final trim on all areas within Phase 7,as well as the areas immediately above, and all areas below, must be complete prior to the final inspections by the Building and Fire Department. Fire Alarm S, s� The fire alarm system was inspected and operational tests were performed for the devices within the Phase 7. Floors above and below were spot checked as these areas were previously issued TCO, with the exception of unit 3G all fire alarm devices were functional at the time of our inspection and reported to the central 5420 WARD ROAD,SUITE 200,ARVADA,COIORADO 80002-1838•TEIEPHONE: 303-422-7400•Ff�c: 303-422-7900 Mr.Martin Haeberle May 12,2010 Page 2 monitoring station.Within unit 3G activation of a single smoke detector did not sound all smoke detectors within the unit; only the detector that was activated sounded. Units 3B and 3G have both been removed from the phase 7 TCO due to water damage and additional space being added to unit 3B. Item outstanding: The manual pull station at the front desk has not yet been relocated and the wall mounted visual notification appliances installed on the ceilings have not been replaced.These items were identified as deficiencies during our Phase 1 Inspections. The sprinkler system will be complete and operational within the areas associated with Phase 7 provided that the final trim is installed prior to the occupancy of those areas.The deficiencies noted with the fire alarm system will not affect the operation of the system for the Phase 7 areas;therefore, we believe the fire alarm system is operational for Phase 7 occupancy.
