o Response: The existing box office building is construction type IIB, based on the
2012 IBC, Section 603.1, Fire-retardant treated wood shall be permitted in non-
bearing partitions where fire-resistance rated construction is not required.
Therefore fire-retardant treated wood is allowed for this non-bearing, non-rated

• B004: PIease address special inspection criteria as per this project. Include inspection
criteria i.e. periodic versus continuous.
