Previous item 7 not addressed: The accessible route of travel is required throughout the remodeled
areas, including but not limited to restrooms, locker rooms, showers, maneuvering distances, etc.
Provide details showing compliance and cross-reference where they apply on the plans.
Previous item 8 not provided: Provide the I -hour listed and tested assembly reference number for
partition type 01 on Sheet A2.01. Include all assembly construction requirements.
Previous item 9: New detail 4/A2.01 does not show the location or fire rating of the fire rated floor -
ceiling assembly. As noted previously, if the ceiling grid is part of the fire rated assembly, the soffit (as
well as other penetrations such as headers) must maintain the fire rating of the floor -ceiling assembly. If
the fire rated floor ceiling assembly is above the soffiticeiling grid area, clearly show this on the plans.
The demolition plans also notes that ceiling tiles will be replaced, so the determination of whether the
ceiling grid system is part of the fire rated floor -ceiling assembly is very important and is the architect's
responsibility to clearly show on the plans.
Previous item 10 was not addressed. The alteration work is not exempt from IBC/WAC 3409.6. If the
architect chooses to use exception #1 of that section, as noted previously, provide a letter stamped and
signed by the architect (reference the code exception), stating what parts of the existing site and building
are not accessible, the project cost and what 20% of it equals, list the upgrades that will be done as part
of this permit as well as showing that the total cost of the upgrades is at least 20%.
