Our structural & non-structural reviews of the permit application materials & drawings is now complete. We find the drawings to be in substantial compliance with applicable codes.
The following items should be noted as Conditions of Permit Approval:
Redlines can be found on the following sheets: A1.0, A2.0, A2.1, A2.2.1, A2.3, A2.5, and A4.0.
Deferred submittals are required on this project for the following elements:
mechanical unit support and anchorage/bracing
Ceiling systems including suspended ceiling systems (other than standard ACT systems), GWB ceilings, soffits, etc.
Special inspections are required to be provided on this project as specified within the structural drawings: concrete, reinforcing steel, steel fabrication & erection, cold-formed steel
framing, and post-installed anchors. Reference the Structural Notes on sheet S001 – S006.
Geotechnical inspections are required as recommended by the geotechnical engineer, Golder Associates (Showroom and Stormwater Vault Geotechnical Report, Mazda Dealership Expansion, Edmonds,
Washington, Project No. 1533298, dated June 23, 2017).
A representative from Golder should observe the foundation bearing soils prior to placement of forms and rebar to verify the foundation bearing soils are consistent with the soils encountered
at the time of this study. (p. 4)
We recommend that a qualified geotechnical-engineering firm is on-site during critical aspects of the project. This would include observation of footing, slab, pavement, and subgrade
preparation; observation of wall and footing drains, and placement of structural fills. The geotechnical engineer of record will perform the special inspection. (p. 10)
