John on Nov 19, 2015 03:30 PM Due Data : Nov 24, 2015 03:30 PM priority :High Request ( Resolution I History ' Description Conversations Hi Jim: The power outage on 11/17/15 highlighted the lack of emergency egress lighting on the 3rd floor of city hall. There were employees here approximately5:05 p.m. and the floor was very dark. The EXIT lights were illuminated (on battery backup/generator power) but did provide the requisite illumination to safely exit the building. IBC 1206 requires that "means of egress illumination be provided at all times the space is occupied". i The exit signs are already on the generator circuit but they are dispersed between both floor exits and probably would not adequately illuminate for that purpose. Configuring those with backup illumination would . My immediate suggestion with economy in mind: install a pair of "bugeyes" with integral battery that would last for the requisite 90 minutes. Regarding the location, I would suggest it could be installed central in the area of the 3rd floor reception and i I think a single fixture could meet the need for all 3rd floor occupants. Thank you. i A I Reply Requester Conversations System on Nov 19, 2015 03:30 PM Request Details Request Type Not Assigned Status Open Impact Not Assigned Impact Details Urgency r9 Y Not Assigned Mode Web Form Priority High Group Facilities site Not associated to any site Category Facilities Subcategory City Hall Item Electrical/Lighting Asset fr-marshal-1307.edmonds.local Created By Westfall, John Department Fire Template Default Request Created Date Nov 19, 2015 03:30 PM DueBy Date Nov 24, 2015 03:30 PM Lest Update Time Not Assigned Requester Details Requester Name Westfall, John E-mail Address john.wesdall@edmondswa.gov Contact number 425-771-0213 Mobile number 425-754.1829 Department Fire .

Funny, that's how I would choose to configure the curtains. I'll keep this information in our address files for future reference. John -----Original Message ----- From: Stevens, Jim Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2014 7:39 AM To: Westfall, John Cc: Bjorback, Leif Subject: Elevator Smoke Curtains John Eric and Don went through all three of these units and have determined the following: the only thing that makes the smoke curtains drop is the activation (by smoke) of the detector associated with each curtain. The switch on the ceiling near with each curtain only functions to raise it back up after it has been deployed. All curtains operate independently of each other, and smoke at the detector on one floor will not affect any other floor's curtain. A system alarm will not automatically drop the curtains, but the activation of any curtain by its smoke detector will set off the building fire alarm system. I'm glad this concern came up because I think it brought us also some good understanding about how this part of the City Hall fire alarm system is set up to operate. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Jim /2 / t-A war Lf r-� ry A r, 4 .-v 'T z 'L ►-M IV -7 Y- 1 k- Third FLOOR PLAN 1 6. Westfall, John From: Westfall, John Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 6:05 PM To: Hope, Shane; Bjorback, Leif Subject: RE: City Hall Generator Thanks, Shane. True, generator cost and capacity were the limiting factors. The executive and fire areas were preferred for continuing department operations during an outage over "non -essential" operations, likely not open or conducting business during the event. This plan could be re-evaluated in my estimation. John -----Original Message ----- From: Hope, Shane Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 4:35 PM To: Bjorback, Leif; Westfall, John Subject: FW: City Hall Generator FYI -----Original Message ----- From: Stevens, Jim Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 20141:49 PM To: Directors Subject: City Hall Generator My supposition is that the PUD needed the power to City Hall off for a short time today. I can tell it was a controlled incident because they immediately were able to tell me how long to expect it to last when I called them upon hearing of the outage. At times when the cause is unknown, I have always received the response early on that they had crews on the way to assess the problem and could not provide any estimates. In any case, the conversation I had with my supervisor, Phil Williams, shortly after the restoration reminded me of how many new people there are in City Hall over the past few years. The installation of the City Hall generator dates back to 2006 and I am certain several folks will be surprised to hear it was never intended to provide coverage to the entirety of City Hall during an outage. The attachment here shows what is automatically powered by the generator and what we can additionally power with the use of extension cords and floor lamps. For each of the floors, the drawings show where lights and receptacles will have power from the generator. Lights are the black circles with a cross through them and receptacles are the black circles with two parallel lines. There are places that have both lights and power and places that have one, the other, or neither. A few years after this generator was provided, I was asked to come up with an estimate of costs to enable it to power the whole building. While the existing generator is large enough for the lights and receptacles, it is insufficient to carry the additional load to heat the building too. The initial estimate to add the remaining receptacles and lights at that time was $75,000, likely more today. Logically, about the only way this work could be done while keeping City Hall operational would be if it was performed at night, so that would have a major effect on the ultimate cost of making this change. Understanding that most prolonged outages happen in winter when a building without heat would not remain long useable, but also understanding that City Hall lies in an area of Edmonds that is not subject to prolonged outages, we concocted the power distribution plan to allow additional offices to stay in operation for an indefinite period during a significant outage. This is what we have depicted using the colored symbols on the attachment. Each colored line represents an extension cord of a certain length, and each green circled L represents a floor lamp placement. The idea is that Facilities Maintenance has stockpiled these items at City Hall and we would use the extension cords to power UPS units for computers in offices, and lamps would mostly plug into these units as well. Since we formulated this plan in 2008-09, we have once needed to break out the cords and lamps, and it was for a partial day. The largest windstorm in the last decade, which many have termed the Windzilla Storm in late 2006 (my own home was without power for three days), was resolved for City Hall the following day. That's not to say we are immune, only to speak to the relative risk. Obviously the original layout for power and lights was influenced by fire administration on the third floor. I still plan on setting out cords and lights with the plan for the third floor here because I cannot run extension cords between floors and any vacant space on the third floor could be of use to an individual on another floor whose office would otherwise remain in the dark. I know this is a huge e-mail to put out to very busy folks and I thank you for taking the time to read it. Questions?

The technology here is exactly what we have used with the most recently installed fire alarm system the city has at Old Public Works. There are several hurdles I need to jump successfully before embarking on changing over our existing fire alarm systems from being monitored via telephone lines to wireless transmitters as has been outlined in this attachment. One of 1 the first is to verify that there is a payback through deletion of existing telephone lines or avoidance of adding more phone lines to meet our building needs. So, I need to ask Mike Stark if he has any records of which lines serve which building fire alarm systems, and if he knows what the service is costing us for each line. From there I can perform a payback analysis. I also want to keep Mike Smith totally on board with any changes we are thinking of making. So, this e-mail represents a preliminary step down the road of seeing how this might work for us. Any feedback from all here is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Guardian Security is the largest U.L. listed fire/security contractor in the Northwest and has been in business for over a quarter of a century. We have more than 100 knowledgeable employees specializing in: • Fire alarm, security, intercom, and card access installations • Fire, security and elevator monitoring through our local central station, and cutting edge monitoring equipment that can provide you with "real time" information on your facility. • Confidence testing, maintenance and repairs of the following life safety systems: o All brands and types of fire alarms o Wet, dry and preaction sprinkler systems and standpipes o Shaft pressurization, fire pump, emergency generator, and sequence tests o CO2, FM200, halon, and kitchen suppression systems o Fire extinguisher and backflow assembly inspections This wide range of services allows Guardian Security to provide a total system and support package for our customers and we are very excited about the opportunity to continue to serve your life safety and security needs. This proposal is based upon our past confidence testing experience and incorporates the new fire alarm panel and devices added. It includes the equipment listed below: Monitoring Proposal Our technology and our monitoring is very good. Our proposal utilizes no phone lines. Guardian Security has implemented a new wireless mesh network and it is UL approved to monitor fire alarm without the use of phone lines. You pay the following for phone lines roughly: When you have dual phone lines, it is about $30-$40/month per line or $60- $80.00/month. When you have the scanalert service you pay about $30.00/month for the scan and alarm line depending on how you order and what tariff area you are in. You have the exact information in your phone records, and you may have city discounts, but these are the general rates. GUARD/AN SECURITY Seattle - Tacoma - Poulsbo - Bellingham 1743 First Avenue South We propose to place an AES UL Fire 7750F Monitoring transmitter in each of your Seattle, WA 98134 buildings. Tel: 206.622.6545 Your buildings performed as follows during our tests. Fax: 206.341.9928 1. City Hall Building 121 5th Ave North: 2 Good wireless links for the transmitter which means guaranteed performance. 2. Public Safety Building 259 61h Ave North. Est-2 Control panel. Reported outside the building 3 good links and one poor. No problem, but a bit more difficut to remote the antenna. 3. 250 Railroad Ave South: As this is adjacent the Ferry terminal we know this will be fine, as that is a major backbone of our system. 4. 600 Main Streeet ( Model 4800 Control Panel): One good link and one poor link. While I cannot guarantee this one performing, as this is a mesh network, the other units should easily provide the response required. 5. 700 Mark Street: Francis Anderson Center. EST-2, 1 good, and one poor. Again suspect that the entire installation will result in good solid performance. 6. 8429 196th Fire Station #16. We have one line quality poor. This would need two lines but it would likely have one, but could not be guaranteed in round #1. 7. 6801 North Meadowdale Road Meadow Dale Site: This had 3 poor links, and these links are likey to strengthen. 8. 7110 20th St SW Edmonds. This had two poor links, and would have some chance of success, but could not be guaranteed. We propose the following for your sites: We propose to install an AES-7750F for wireless monitoring at each site. The installation charge for this is Installation Charge/Site $775.00 This price is based on a quantity discount on the installation side. The monthly monitoring charge is $55.00/month for fire alarm monitoring. It increases by $10.00/month when you add security, but again no phone lines are charged. Of the 8 sites, lets say we install 5 and get them up and running. Let's assume that 3 don't operate initially. You would be charged the installation charge, but no monthly charge would be assessed while your existing monitoring was maintained. A better solution is for us to monitor those 3 sites for $25.00/month, and then when the wireless communicates, which we can tell from our local central station, then the monitoring would increase to the $55.00/month. Your savings: I think you have about 6 sites with dual phone lines where the monitoring charge is less than the the phone line expense even using 2 ea. $30.00/month lines. The other lines are scanalert and your savings are less, but scanalert is a Quest product and Quest has already declared they want to sunset this technology. We believe this would be about a one year payback for you. If you have any questions, please give me a call at my direct line 206-467-5298. Sincerely Yours, Frank A.

The AES appears to be the wireless network(s). And that makes sense. More info. from our IT is he's looking at something similar to a "trunked" telephone system over fiber. Next demand for phone line takes the next available line. I don't have many details, but I believe that the "voice-over internet protocol" (VOIP) is not an option due to the unreliability of the ISP systems. I may be making assumptions but I'll let you know what I come to. Thanks for both your information -that is very helpful! Have a good weekend.

RE: FA Monitoring John - We require a dedicated primary telephone line and an owner controlled secondary in Mountlake Terrace. In addition we allow AES systems demonstrating.proper signal strength with UL listed components for fire alarm use. The AES systems are required to demonstrate their signal capabilities prior to acceptance testing. I have had one application that was approved and then could not achieve adequate signals. They determined this early in the process and installed the required telephone lines in lieu of the AES system. This dead space will improve as other systems grow in the area. I believe these systems do comply with NFPA 72 as long as the components are UL listed for fire alarm use. The common practice is to confirm the signal strength at the site and demonstrate that at least two paths of travel for the signal rate good or better, they can tell you how many paths exist for a site. I am not aware of any problems with the approved AES systems in the City of Mountlake Terrace and plan to encourage their use as an alternative to the telephone lines, the more systems in an area the better the reliability. I do not have experience with your IT manager's option but the fire alarm component would need to be the priority. This option is relatively new and much like the AES technology the components need to be UL listed for fire alarm use.

The best answer I have is someone may have been dusting their work area on the 2nd floor. The airborne dust can activate a smoke detector which is what happened today. On a side note be careful not to overcook any food items in the kitchen areas on the floors. Smoke from burnt popcorn will travel to the detectors and cause evacuation of the building. You may have noticed none of the windows in this building open. This is even more reason not to leave any cooking unattended. We still must dial 9"911" because the alarm is not monitored off site yet.

Cataldo P.O. Box 225 • Spokane, WA 99210 Innovative Smoke Containment Systems The Smoke Guard System connects to the smoke detector located in the corridor ceiling and automatically deploys in less than 10 seconds. maanetically attaching to the ferrous metal hoistway door frame or auxiliary rail (shown above). Metal cove bases attach to the floor to till the gap between the deployed roll and the floor. THE Sl10KE GUARD SYSTE. 1 • Officially recognized by ICBO Evaluation Service • Very low air leakage rate • Operates independently of hoistway door • Does not attach to hoistway door frame • Resistive to 400°F temperatures • Automatically deployable • Activated by smoke alarm • Independent power supply • Light -weight, strong* and durable • Designed for reliability and efficiency • Easy to rewind Listed and labeled product • Class A flame spread • Chemically resistive • Patents pending The Smoke Guard System provides a virtually airtight seal without interference with the elevator hoistway door and provides a -tight-fitting smoke- and draft -control assembly" in accordance with the Uniform Building Code. A rewind switch (shown at the right of the door) automatically resets the system in seconds. THE S-IOKE GUARD SYSTEM • Tight -fitting* smoke- and draft -control assembly • Eliminates the need for a lobby in mid -rise buildings • Allows lobby to be part of the exitway in high rises • Assists a smoke -Free evacuation • Helps restrict smoke from migrating between floors • Adds valuable time to evacuate building occupants • Simplifies retrofit design • Automatically resealable • Decreases construction cost • Easily recesses into ceiling • Resistive to stack effect pressures • Transparent reinforced film • Only 5# force necessary to disengage film • No additional structural support needed • Eliminates additional corridor space VERTICAL SMOKE MIGRATION In all buildings, vertical penetrations act like chimneys. The taller the buildins and the colder the outside temperature, the greater the "stack effect" draft in the hoistway shaft. Because the elevator shaft connects directly to all major exitways, smoke can be quickly drawn into exitways far from the source of the smoke. The NFPA FIRE INVESTIGATION REPORT of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing concluded, "smoke movement through the elevator shafts with closed doors and intact enclosure walls also contributed to the vertical smoke movement in Tower 1 and was the primary means for smoke travel to the upper floors in Tower 2 and the Customs House." Accorclinv to the U.S. Fire Administration, smoke is the leading cause of death and damage in a fire. 75% of the people who die in building fires are victims of smoke inhalation. Most deaths, injuries and damage attributed to smoke occur above the fire floor. Every year, in the United States, there are over 25,000 fires in mid -rise buildings and 4,500 fires in high rise buildings, resulting in 200 deaths, over 3,000 injuries, and causing approximately $3 billion dollars in property damage. IY� ttOltil\1 1\ ��°1� ��+����..ici�',?t� ;�.-.,•ix' 400 sr 4 II Addition d Corridor 17 THE ELEVATOR LOBBY Even though the elevator hoistway door and frame is a fire rated assembly, the 3/8" sap allowed at the perimeter encourages the migration of smoke during a building fire. Recosnizins the potential danger, the Uniform Building Code (UBC) has required the use of an enclosed lobby to separate the elevator hoistway from the rated exitway since 1979 in high rise buildings. The solution was so widely accepted that in 1991, lobby separation was required in mid -rise buildings as well. From a code standpoint, this lobby can only be used as a means of egress in a fully sprinklered office buildins. Therefore. additional corridor space must be used to circumvent the enclosed lobby, because it conceivably will be tilled with smoke during a fire. In 1993, the Smoke Guard System was officially recognized as a "tight -fitting smoke- and draft -control assembly" when used with a rated hoistway door and frame. This unique combination eliminates the requirement for the enclosed lobby in mid -rise buildings and allows the enclosed lobby to be used as a means of egress in high rise buildings. The Smoke Guard System should be used in renovations where space is tight and in new construction where cost, usable area and aesthetics are important design considerations. TEST RESULTS The Smoke Guard System exceeds the requirements of: The 1959 edition of NFPA 105 "Recommended Practice for the Installation of Smoke -Control Door Assemblies" when tested by Ome_a Point Laboratories in accordance with the 1991 edition of Underwriters Laboratory Subject 1754 "Air Leakage Tests of Door AIR LEAKAGE RATE The lower the air leakage ratins of the assembly. the slower smoke )will move throu`sh the door opening into the corridor.

Since no wall space is necessary for door pockets or for doors on hold opens. a minimum corridor width can be maintained. Because the hoistway door is a gasketed assembly it can open directly onto the rated corridor. THE SMOKE GUARD SYSTE.N1 The Smoke Guard System is an innovative smoke containment system that was created by an architect in an effort to make buildings safer. Smoke Guard consists of a 2 mil roll of transparent reinforced Dupont Kapton - film connected to a continuous flexible magnet along each vertical edee. The system is equipped with a supervised 12 volt DC battery to provide reliable secondary power during an emergency situation. When smoke is detected. the elevator automatically goes into "tire service" mode and is prevented from opening on the fire floor. The detector also signals the Smoke Guard System to deploy at the hoistway door opening. A sign "NOT AN EXIT" is posted on the curtain. visible from both sides.

Subject: Smoke Guard Smoke Containment System, 11. Description: A. General: The Smoke Guard Smoke Containment System is designed to be placed over a fire -resistive elevator door to pro- vide a tight -fitting, smoke and draft control assembly complying with Sec- tion 1005.8.1 of the code. The systems are installed over elevator open- ings in lobbies that open into a fire -resistive corridor to waive the need for a separated elevator lobby as described in Section 1005.10 of the code. See Figure 1 for typical application. The system Includes a curtain consist- ing of a reinforced transparent polyimide film attached to a flexible mag- net, The lower curtain edge is attached to a 4-inch-diameter by 3-inch- wide aluminum tube sections that are connected with a 3/4-Inch by 3/4-inch by 1/t 6-Inch-thick aluminum angle. A drive pulley Is connected to the outside face of the aluminum tube section and is fitted to a stainless steel cable. The units are mounted over elevator doors and are housed within a 7-inch-square, No. 20 gage (0.0359-inch) galvanized steel con- tainer, The cables allow the film to unwind when signaled by an automatic smoke detector with an auxiliary contact. A 12-voft motor rewinds the film back into the housing. S. Materials: 1. Film: The film is Dupont Kapton Type 200 HN, a poly- imide plastic film with a transparent orange color. The film Is 2 mils thick and is reinforced with 200 denier Nomex Aramid filament yarn spaced 1/4 inch each way. 2. Magnets: Magnet strips are attached to each longitudinal edge of the film. The strips measure 21/2 inches wide and are 1/ inch thick, utiliz- ing a Type PM14 multipole flexible magnet of energized ferrite in a nitrite rubber binder exerting a minimum force of 1.4 MGOe., The strips are manufactured by 3M Electrical Specialties Division. The magnets are attached to the film using 1/2. to 1-inch-wide by f/g- to 3/16-inch-thick continuous beads of silicone sealant, In addition, two 1/8-inch-wide strips of 0.002-inch-thick elastomeric adhesive are attached at third points along the length of the strong face of the magnet. 3. Adhesive and Sealant: Elastomer adhesive is Scotch -weld 583, a synthetic eiastomer, two -stage laminating adhesive manufactured by 3M Converter Specialties Division. The silicone sealant is Dow Corning 790, a one -pan, low -modulus material, 4. Motor. The motor is a 12-volt OC unit rated 25-inch pounds at 130 rpm. The units are powered by 110-volt AC power through a transformer. As an emergency back up, a 12-volt OC battery with a charger is provided. 5. Release Mechanisms: The release mechanisms conform to UL Standard No. 508. Smoke detectors are not provided with the system, but must conform to UL Standard No. 228, Report No. 4968 Reissued January 1, 1996 C. fri taliation: Installation is by installers recognized by Smoke Guard Corporation. The units may be surface mounted or flush mounted. The maximum door opening width permitted is 48 Inches. The frame sur- rounding the elevator door must be minimum No.14 gage (0.0747-inch) steel with a 2-Inch-wide flat profile. Nonferrous, beveled or field -painted frames will require auxiliary steel side ralls. To surface mount the units, a 2-inch by 20-inch sheet metal angle is attached to the wall In an approved manner 71/2 Inches above the elevator door frame. The Smoke Guard system container is then attached to the angle. The joint between the container and the doorhead frame is sealed with silicone sealant. To flush mount the units, a finished 8-inch-high opening, at least 14 inches wider than the door opening, must be provided. The container is set into the opening and adjusted to be level and plumb. Joints between the container and the opening frame are sealed with silicone sealant. At the floor level, two coved bass clips are placed on the lobby side floor in direct line and in contact with the existing elevator door frames. The joint betweenthe basecllp andthedoorframe are sealed with siliconesea- lant The power leads from the drive -control system are secured to a 110-volt electrical circuit. Alarm signal leads are then connected to the elevator lobby smoke detector. The low voltage rewind control leads are then connected to a remote central rewind station, The film Is unrolled to magnetically adhere to the elevator door frame or auxfllary frame as it unwinds towards the floor. The magnets are adjusted to align with vertical jambs of the door, and the film is stretched tightly across the door opening, The film is adjusted vertically so that the bottom threshold touches the floor, Any slack in the magnet and film should be pushed upward back into the container. The film is then rolled up into the container and unrolled to check the seating in the cove bases and vertical alignment of the curtain, The top edge of the curtain is, then trimmed and reclamped, The drive pulley is attached to each and of the cylinder with any line slack removed and adjusted to provide equal tension between cables. D. Field Adjustment: The rewind motor is engaged and inspected for operation. The fall of the apparatus Is Inspected with adjustments in the cable tension made as required, This process is repeated five times. The set screws and drive pulleys are then tightened. The magnetic strips are clamped and the area between the top of the film and the container is set with silicone sealant. After installation, a routine maintenance program will require that the units be field tested on a semiannual basis. E. Identification: Units are labeled with the manufacturer's name and address, product name, leakage rating, and name of the quality control agency, Omega Point Laboratories, Inc, In addition, the units are labeled with the words "Not An Exit" in 4-inch-high, bold black letters. 111, Evidence Submitted: Data in accordance with the,ICBC ES Accep- tance Criteria for Smoke -containment Systems used with Fire -resistive Elevator Holstway Doors and Frames (AC77) dated September 1992.

Date: To: From: Subject: MEMORANDUM December 15, 1997 Mike Springer, Chief Gary L. McComas, Fire Marshal Fire Detection/Alarm System, Executive Building To provide a basic fire alerting system for our building I propose that the following equipment be installed: • Manual fire alarm boxes. Manual fire alarm boxes should be distributed throughout the building so that they are readily accessible, unobstructed, and are located in the normal route of travel from every exit from every level. • Control Units and annunciator panels. Shall be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with the code. • Alarm initiation and signal. When activated, fire alarm -initiating devices shall activate an alarm signal which is audible and visual throughout the building. This level of protection would allow anyone discovering a hazardous situation in our building to alert everyone simultaneously, so that evacuation will not be delayed. Beyond the basic protection described above I also recommend that we consider the following enhancements, in order to provide automatic detection: System smoke detectors in all corridors and exit enclosures. System smoke detectors in all office areas. Heat detection in all storage areas, mechanical spaces and bathrooms. Connection to a twenty four hour monitoring agency. In the past city forces have designed and installed similar systems in city buildings, but because of the size and complexity of our new administration building, it may be desirable to have a private contractor design and install the proposed system.

Phase 1 is activated by the key switch at the main recall floor, at a remote panel, and by the smoke detectors at each elevator entrance, the top of the"hoistway, and the elev- for machine room. Smoke detectors. shall be mounted within ten feet of the elevator doors. 2. The main recall floor is where the fire department would enter the bldg. in an emerg- ency. 3. The alternate recall floor is any other floor the fire dept. chooses. 4. The smoke detector mounted at the top of the hoistway shall not send the elevator to the bottom floor. 5k The elevator can be run under normal conditions while the smoke detectors are still in alarm by turning the Phase 1 key switch to the bypass posistion. 6. To reset the Phase 1 recall, clear all smoke detectors, with the elevator at the main recall floor or at the alternate recall floor turn the Phase 1 key switch to the Bypass posistion and then to the off posistion. This is the only place the Phase 1 recall can be reset. Phase 2 ( Firemans Service) 1. The Phase 2 key switch is located inside the elevator car. Phase 2 can only .be activated when Phase 1 is in effect. The Phase 1 key can be used to activate Phase 2. Turn the Phase 2 key switch to the on posistion. 2. The elevator door open and close buttons are constant pressure for Firemans control. (peek -a -boo -feature) 1. If a call is entered by mistake, you can cancel the call by pushing the call cancel button. 4. When you go to another floor to investigate turn the Phase 2 switch to the hold posistion and put the key in your pocket before you leave the elevator. 5. To have equipment brought up to you while you stay at the floor, Turn the Phase 2 key to the to the off posistion, the elevator will return to the recall floor. Shunt Trip 1.

The FA system is doing it's job. Gene discovered that the alarms were not system failures, but smoke detector trips during periods when the building heat pumps were "asleep". The temperatures have been cold enough to trip the floor thermostats of electric heating elements that have accumulations of dust from non-use during warmer WX. Gene tells me that burning the dust off from the electrical elements will be a part of the future pre -season building maintenance.

Gr4 Building Official DATE: February 26, 1996 RE: 121 5th Avenue North, City Hall Building Enclosed please find a copy of my plan review notes dated 2/13/96 for the meeting I had with the professional consultants on the 121 Building. I reviewed the 1976 UBC and the consultant report and noted items that were required under the 1976 code that should have been installed during the original building construction, for example, the garage mechanical ventilation. I would recommend that most of the missing building code requirements be installed during our remodeling with some being deferred to 1997. From the meeting it was apparent that several design consultants' are going to try to convince you to upgrade their items. For example, the mechanical consultant believes the entire mechanical system should be changed out and the structural engineering consultant has two proposals for seismic upgrades. Neither of these items are required by code. Also, there still seems to be some confusion on the stairs. The existing north and west stairs met the code for the original construction as an office use. Even though we may designate the building as a "public building" the Uniform Building Code does not make such a distinction. The "public" importance within the code is geared more to "assembly" uses within buildings and things like ventilation and toilet facilities are affected. So the stairs may remain as -is. However, I would recommend some alterations be made to bring the stairs closer to current code for example; install plexi-glass to reduce the spacing between intermediate rails from 9" to 4"--such minor alteration would not require a complete stair upgrade. On a sidenote, there is one missing handrail on the north stair lower section that we should replace prior to occupancy. Also, since several staff members have asked me I would like to let you know that in each of these rated stair enclosures there may be no use of enclosed useable space under the stairways nor shall the open space under the stair be used for any purpose. I am available to discuss required code items, budgetary concerns, planning for City improvements, etc., for the new building if I can be of assistance.

Summary Design Perspectives The Lewis Architects The Lewis Architects D'Amato Conversano Engineered Electrical Systems Wood Harbinger PRELIMINARY REPORT OF THE STRUCTURAL SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF THE EDMONDS CITY HALL (FEBRUARY 13,1996) 1. EXISTING LATERAL FORCE RESISTING SYSTEM The lateral force resisting system for this building include moment frames in the North South direction along grid lines A and D and shear walls in the east -west direction along grid lines 1 and 7 as shown in Figure.1. The shear walls consist of 10" concrete basement walls and 8" fully grouted masonry walls above first floor. Preliminary analysis of the building indicate that the shear walls have adequate strength to resist seismic loads. There are two types of columns used in the moment -resisting frame. They are the 14"xl4" columns and the wall pier columns which have a typical cross section dimension of 12"x42" (see Fgiure.2 for column locations). It appears that the 14"xl4" columns are gravity columns and are not part of the lateral force resisting system. 2. SEISMIC LOAD COEFFICIENT Rw Current UBC classifies Concrete Moment -resisting Frames as following. Rw=12 Special Moment -Resisting Frames for seismic zones 3 and 4 Rw=8 Intermediate Moment -Resisting Frames for seismic zone 2 Rw=6 Ordinary Moment -Resisting Frames for seismic zone 1 The Rw value reflects the requirements for member strength and ductility. The higher the Rw is, the more stringent the ductility requirements are and the lower the design seismic force is, as demonstrated in Figure.3. The existing moment frames was designed as Special Moment -Resisting Frames per 1976 UBC code. But, they do not meet all the ductility detailing requirements of 1994 UBC code as discussed below. It is DCI's opinion that Rw=8, should be used to determine the design seismic loads. 3. SEISMIC IMPORTANCE FACTOR I This building was designed for an office building with seismic importance factor of I=1.0 which is considered to be adequate to provide substantial life safety. However, after a sever earthquake, the building may have major structural and non-structural damages to cause operational disruption and may require significant retrofit prior to re - occupancy. If the building is expected to remain occupied and remain functional immediately after an earthquake event, a higher seismic importance factor, I=1.25, should be used to check the strength of the existing building. This will increase the design force by 25%, as shown in Figure 4. However, the structural safety of the building should be substantially improved. 4. DEFICIENCIES IN THE MOMENT -RESISTING FRAMES Column Width -to -Depth Ratio Per 1994 UBC section 1921.4.1.2, the width -to depth ratio shall not be less than 0.4. The minimum width for a 42" deep column shall be 16.8". All 12"x42" columns do not meet this requirement and should be classified as wall piers per 1994 UBC section 1921.6.12 which are not recommended to be used for Special Moment -Resisting Frame. Column Transverse Reinforcement Per 1994 UBC section 1921.4.4.1.2, the minimum transverse reinforcement is required at column -beam joints to ensure column ductility at connections. The existing 12"x42" column has 60% of the transverse reinforcement required by current code. 14"x14" Columns Current UBC code requires that the flexural strength of columns shall be 20% greater than the flexural strength of the beams connected to them. All 14"xl4" columns do not meet this requirement. However, it appears that these columns were not included as part of the lateral resisting system since the big 12"x42" columns would be adequate to provide both strength and stiffness per 1976 UBC code. Beam Flexural Reinforcement Splices Per 1994 UBC section 1921.3.2.3, lap splices shall not be used within a distance of twice the member depth from the face of joint. Hoops spaced at 4" shall be provided over the lap length. However, existing beams have bottom reinforcement spliced at the face of joint and hoops spaced at 6" are used for all lap splices. 5. OTHER CONCERNS Bearing Shear Walls The shear walls along grid line 1 and 7 are also bearing walls supporting 14' of tributary floor area. If they are considered as bearing wall system, Rw=6 need to be used to calculate the design seismic forces. Furthermore, 1994 UBC section 1628.3.3 requires to use Rw=6 for both direction. This will increase the seismic design force for the moment -resisting frames by 1/3 as illustrated in Figure.3. However, if independent gravity frames can be added along grid line 1 and 7, Rw=8 can used for both shear walls and moment -resisting frames. Discontinuity in Chord Members It is essential to have a continuous chord member between the shear walls on either side of the building. The perimeter beams along grid line A and D would be good for the chord members. However, the existing drawings indicate that those beams are interrupted at the entry and at the elevator openings on second and third floors, as shown in Figure.5. Additional steel struts may be required, if alternate chord members cannot be found in the existing structures. Masonry Veneers It appears that the masonary veneer wall on line D has been remodeled and some defects are reported in the previous study. Although the masonry veneers are not part of the lateral force resisting system, adequate gravity and lateral supports shoulded be provided to prevent any local structural and non-structural damages. 6. SUGGESTED SEISMIC STRENGTHENING APPROACHES It is obvious that the 14"x14" columns are lack of the required strength and ductility to be counted as part of the moment -resisting frames. Instead of disqualifying the entire frames as suggested in previous study by Whiteley Jacobsen and Associates, we think that those 14"x14" columns can be treated as gravity columns and all other columns/wall piers (12"x42" columns) can still be used as part of moment -resisting frames. Recognizing that beams and columns do not 100% meet the ductility requirements per 1994 code, we suggest to use a lower ductility coefficient, say Rw=8 which is use for intermediate moment -resisting frames per current code. It has to be pointed out that additional gravity frames at the bearing walls on lines 1 and 7 are need to avoid using Rw=6 as discussed in previous sections. Furthermore, if the building is required to provide operational continuity", the important factor I=1.25 should be used and the ductility of the existing moment frames should be improved.

The basis for developing the space program was using "standards" developed for similar functions in comparable municipal jurisdictions. There is one undeniable truth about our current situation --All of us are operating in severely undersized spaces now!fl The degree of shortness in adequate space is best illustrated by the attached table, which shows how much space is programmed in the new building compared to what you have today. On the average, all of us will have TWICE as much space as we have today. Your assignment is to help the consultant, and ultimately your staff, to organize and arrange the spaces in your "block" so it works best for doing your job. cc: Mayor Fahey Dee McGrath Brent Hunter Georgia LaBelle Sandy Chase Art Housler Chuck Day Cindi Cruz Jim Walker Rob Chave Jeannine Graf Gary McComas Jana Spellman John Cannon, The Lewis Architects City of Edmonds c�q Community Services .` Comparison of Proposed New Space with Existing Space (all numbers expressed as square feet) 2/8/96 Programmed Total New Area existing area new area area with with as % of (w/o circulation) circulation circulation existing area Department/Division Mayor 1,140 1,539 550 280% Personnel 1,185 1,600 500 320% Admin/Finance 3,005 4,056 2,000 203% City Clerk 2,115 2,855 950 301% Community Services 2,480 3,348 1,800 186% Engineering 2,260 3,051 1,500 203% Shared areas/Eng/Ping) 1,310 1,768 1,000 177% Planning 2,190 2,956 1,300 227% City Council 655 884 180 491% Fire Admin 1,995 2,693 1,300 207% Common Area 2,100 2,835 1,600 177% total space 20,435 27,585 12,680 218% (21,.Sfrc, Utz mac. yC�Sk -me- �00r- . MEMORANDUM Date: February 6, 1996 To: Distribution From: Paul Mar 6---- Subject: Approved Block Plans for Department Locations in Edmonds Financial Center Building Thank you all very much for an extremely productive meeting and discussion on the block plans for the new building. Based on your feedback, the attached are the "approved" block plans. The consultant team will now begin to work with each of you on spatial arrangements within each of the blocks. We are proceeding carefully from the general to the specifics to make sure all of the big issues are resolved first. Issues such as shared lunchrooms and copy work rooms, how the building's reception/switchboard functions work, and staff versus public restrooms will be deliberated in the next several weeks. I have enclosed a list of important questions on how we will conduct ourselves in the new building; this was distributed to you some four months ago. Please review this information and put your thinking caps on and continue to bring forth constructive ideas. There was a question raised to me about the square footages shown on the attached drawings versus those shown the tabulations in my January 17th memo. The tabulations show only the programmed square footage, or each of your usable space. The consultant has added 35% to the tabulations to account for corridors, hallways, thickness of walls and partitions and other non -useable space. As the space layouts become more refined, this factor will continually be adjusted. cc: Mayor Fahey Dee McGrath Brent Hunter Georgia LaBelle Sandy Chase M Housler Chuck Day Cindi Cruz Jim Walker Rob Chave RECEIVED FEB 06 1996 rnrr.nNDS FIRE nrPT Jeannine Graf vUary McComas Jana Spellman John Cannon, The Lewis kchitects(w/o attachments) City of Edmonds czR Community Services Design Perspectives Fax=206-442-9128 Feb 2 '96 15=05 P.02 'A is EffSka 3,051 SF ■ OP Li 08 SF� FUTURE �. 1 736 SF 1 E DMONM C" HA LL Za D FLOOR B LAC K PLA N - OP? 3 FEB c 1Q96 ?;i6' =i`-0' ,o M-IR. -� I LOUNGEI 1 ELjTUgE s 1,53G SF I LUNCH CQM?W UNITY I 505 SF I SERVIC_LE 600 SF I 2,241 SF I I FL�7 iJ E !

If not, how will the separate reception/switchboard functions be coordinated? I am specifically concerned about start -of -day, lunch hour and end -of -day coverage. 2. Will there be a continuation of the individual copier/reproduction functions in the new building? If not, what provisions will there be for shared/integrated copying/reproduction services? Who will oversee the administration of this function? Will there be a user committee with representation from all departments/divisions? 3. Will there be a centralization of the purchasing function? If so, how will it be administered? If not, will there be separate storage areas? Who will oversee the administration of this function? 4. Will there be a centralization of the mail distribution function? If so, how will it be administered? If not, will there be separate mail distribution assignments? Who will oversee the administration of this function? 5. What will be the protocol for operating hours of the building, of the switchboard? How will this affect the staffing and position assignments? Who will oveifsee the administration of this function? 6. 1 assume there will be a centralized archival storage system with a single point control for access and retrieval. I am budgeting staff and non -labor resources accordingly. Please inform me ASAP if this is not the case. 7. 1 am assuming that there will be a single address to be used by all tenants of the building once we occupy it All stationery, letterhead, business cards, etc. should reflect the identical information. How do we budget for this changeover if this is the agreed upon direction? 8. There are a number of fax machines being used by the various departments. Do you visualize a centralization of the fax function in the new building? If so, how? If not, what efforts are required to coordinate fax usage to be more cost-effective? 9. 1 see a great opportunity to obtain the Internet capability as we get into the new building. How do we position ourselves to gain entry in the most cost-effective manner? -- 10. There will be an increase in building operation and maintenance costs when we move into the new building. What assumptions do we make on maintaining the existing buildings(Executive, Finance, Community Services) after these are vacated? 11. Will there be a centralization of scheduling and prioritization of using conference rooms in the new building? If so, how will it be administered? If not, will there be separate scheduling/prioritizing responsibilities? Who will oversee the administration of this function? 12. Will there be a centralization of building usage management/coordination in the new building? If so, how will it be administered? If not, will there be separate floor -by -floor or department -by -department responsibilities? Who will oversee the administration of this function? MEMORANDUM August 1, 1994 TO: Mayor's Cabinet FROM: Paul Mar 0 RE: Financial Center Building Analysis -Results of July 28th Visual inspection On July 28th, Bob Alberts, Jeannine Graf, Tom King, Paul Mar, and Gary McComas visually inspected the Financial Center on 5th Ave. guided by Mr. Bill McDonald, one of the owners. We were proved with as -built drawings, up-to- date floor plans and some cost information. The following is a summary of our findings: 1. What is the structural condition of the building? Based on visual inspection, the building appears to be very sound. Does the building comply with the most up-to-date seismic codes? The building has not been assessed as to its compliance with the updated seismic code, according to the owner. What improvements must be made? There does not appear to be any required structural improvement, unless the updated seismic assessment identifies such. 2. If the building were to be renovated for a new tenant, what ADA upgrades would have to be provided? The first floor's floor differential between the north and south portions would have to be corrected with a ramp. The restrooms would need ADA related upgrades. The second and third floor restrooms are handicapped accessible but may need some minor upgrades. Based on visual observations, the first floor restrooms need major grades to meet ADA standards. 0 I If the tenant were a public agency, such as the City, would these upgrades be more than for a private sector occupant? By federal law —yes, since it is deemed a public accommodation. Based on the City's current practice, the exterior doors and doors to public assembly rooms should be fitted with handicapped accessible door openers. Parking should include 20% handicapped accessible spaces 3. If an additional elevator were to be required, where would it be best located, functionally? The elevator could be located either at the west end, adjacent to the stairwell, or at the south end of the building. Would this require additional structural work to the building? In either case, additional structural work is required. 4. if it were desirable to develop a single, centralized front entrance to the building, how would the existing trrst floor, including the numerous entrances off 5th Ave. have to be reconfigured? The double entry doors at the primary front entrance should probably be moved outward(closer to 5th Ave); it presently is 30 feet in from the edge of the building. This would create a "main lobby" effect. The five other existing entrances off 5th Ave should be closed off. 5. What is the largest possible floor area, without floor -to -ceiling columns interfering with line -of -sight, available on the first floor? on the upper floors? The structural columns are located 28 feet apart. Thus, the largest floor area(with no visual obstruction) is 28 feet wide by some multiple of 28 feet long(for example, 28x84=2,352 sq ft.). The City Council chamber could fit on the south side of the first floor in a 4,000+ floor area with possible visual obstruction from 2 structural columns. This area has the highest floor -to -ceiling height in the building, about 9-to-10 feet. K 6. Can the existing HVAC system, with its controls, appropriately service a large meeting room, such as a Council chamber? an entire floor of open landscape office configuration? If not, what improvements/upgrades are needed? There are 28 individual HVAC zones in the building. Each of the upper floor has ten zones. The first floor has eight zones. It appears, based on visual inspection, that minimal improvements will be needed. The HVAC should be able to service the Council chambers. 7. If the entire building were to be converted to a public use facility, such as a city hall, what upgrades are required to comply with fire codes? Based on visual inspection, the building appears to meet the fire code. There could be some minor "fixes" identified with a more detailed building analysis. 8. Is the building's electrical system and distribution network equipped to house a centralized computer system and a local area network to serve up to 100 computer workstations? Based on visual inspection of several occupied spaces and one unoccupied space, there appears to be sufficient electrical capacity and distribution network. In an open landscape concept, power to work stations can be obtained by routing below the floor to the designated location. There is sufficient vertical space between the floors to achieve this. The building's lighting system appears to be very adequate to service a large single tenant. 9. Assess the adequacy of the building's security system to accommodate the needs of a public use, such as a city hall. What upgrades are required? According to the owner, there is not much public traffic in the building, with the current occupants. There probably will have to be an upgrade to the security system to meet the needs for a city hall. Details of this system have yet to be worked out. 3 10. Assess the degree of difficulty to convert the existing interior spaces to accommodate the office/work station needs of the non-public safety functions current housed at the civic center. Based on visual inspection, it will not be difficult to convert the existing interior spaces to accommodate city hall functions. Most of the work, and cost, will be associated with demolishing/reconstructing floor4o-ceiling walls, carpet replacement and constructing the open landscape work stations. There are numerous existing enclosed offices and enclosed conference rooms that can be reused. The building owner presented actual cost information for a total "gut and remodel' of 2,000 sf of first floor space at about $21 per sf. Can the necessary adjacencies and functional relationships be achieved within the available floorplate? The building was constructed with a central core running east -west the length of the building. The north portion of each floor has about 6,000 square feet of open area, while the south portion has about 4,000 square feet. This could work well for the city functions. The major challenge will be to determine what functions need to be located on the first floor, since it is important to focus most of the public functions here, to reduce the amount of public access to the upper floors. 11. Assuming that the building will house all the non-public safety functions currently at the civic center plus a council chamber, what changes will have to be made in the parking/auto circulation- ingress/egress to meet code? to achieve a user friendly environment? The code states that office use with on -site customer service requires one parking space per 400 sq ft of building. The code also states that indoor places of public assembly require one parking space per four seats or per 40 square feet, whichever is greater. Assuming that the Council chamber takes 4,000 square feet and there 26,000 square feet of office use, 165 parking spaces are required to meet code. There are 81 spaces currently available on the site.(this satisfies the code under the current use). With respect to a "user friendly environment", there should be some short term on street parking near the front entrance, and possibly a passenger drop-off area in the basement. 12 12. What is the condition of the exterior of the building? of the roof? of the foundation? Are there any improvements that should be done now? The exterior of the building could use a cleaning job. Visual inspection revealed several masonry wall sections were fatigued. The roof was repaired several years ago. It may need further attention. A detailed assessment_ is suggested. The foundation was not assessed during the visual inspection. 13. Other observations. The elevator must be speeded up in order to be an effective means of vertical transportation. The two existing stairwells meet the code, but should be improved adding rails on the inboard side and strengthening the stairs themselves. Signage in the building will be very important in getting guests, visitors and the public to the proper destination without trafficking through work areas. To be ADA compliant, raised and Braille characters plus pictorial symbols should be incorporated. For a single tenant with numerous "coffee break" and lunchroom areas, the plumbing would have to be significantly modified on the upper two floors. Presently there are three ways to vertically access the'building, one elevator and two stairwells. .It may be desirable to add one elevator and one stairwell. It will depend on the amount of "public" functions located on the upper floors. For costing purposes, these should be analyzed now. cc: Bob Alberts Jeannine Graf Tom King i�Gary McComas 5
