Re: Kidde KDR 100 fire alarm panel
Dear Sir,
In September of 2010 you were notified that the fire alarm panel/system at Park Meadows Lodge no longer met listing or service requirements as listed in NFPA 72 or the 2009 International
Fire Code.
Section 907.9.1 of the International Fire Code states the following: “Whenever required for compliance with the provisions of this code, devices, equipment, systems, conditions, arrangements,
levels of protection or other features shall thereafter be continuously maintained in accordance with applicable NFPA requirements or as directed by the fire code official”.
As noted previously the existing fire alarm system installed at Park Meadows Lodge no longer meets service or listing requirements. Further, the manufacturer of the existing fire alarm
system no longer provides supporting technology or parts and service for it.
Therefore it is hereby ordered that Park Meadows Lodge and its appointed agent(s) take immediate action for replacement of the fire alarm system. The fire alarm system shall meet both
NFPA 72 and VF&ES fire alarm installation standards.
Plans for the fire alarm installation shall be submitted in accordance with sections 907.1.1 and 907.1.2 of the International Fire Code, 2009 ed.
Page 2
Stamped engineered plans and permit application shall be submitted to the Town of Vail no later than February 28th 2012.
Installation of the fire alarm system shall commence immediately after all approvals and issuance of permit is completed.
Installation shall be complete and final inspection and approval of system shall occur no later than May 1st 2012.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
