Items Received: Functional program & floor plans (design development stage)
T1 If this project will be completed in multiple phases, provide a phasing plan, and phased ICRA
and ILSM.
T2 Clarify the construction type of the existing building and the new addition.
T3 Clarify in the functional program if the Urgent Care department will be under the hospital
license. Regardless, the Urgent Care department will be reviewed for its life safety impacts
on the hospital.
T4 The East ED suite (gridlines E&C) is required to have not less than two exit access doors
remotely located from each other per NFPA 101: 18.2.5.3. Provide at least one door from the
suite that leads directly to a corridor. CRS will allow the second exit access door to travel
through the adjacent suite to a corridor, if remotely located.

T5 Identify the location of the fire wall between the existing building and new addition. Clarify
if the addition is a separate building. Provide details to show how the wall meets all
requirements of IBC 706. Fire walls shall be designed to restrict the spread of fire and extend
continuously from the foundation to or through the roof with sufficient structural stability
under fire conditions to allow collapse of construction on either side without collapse of the
wall.
T6 Blanket warmers are ok if located in the suite and installed per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
T7 A fireplace may be installed in the elevator lobby area open to the corridor system. Provide
fireplace details and cut sheets to determine if this makes the lobby a “hazardous area” not
allowed by NFPA 101:18.3.6.1
T8 Gift shops may be open to the corridor if they are less than 500 sf. NFPA 101:18.3.2.5
T9 If seating is provided on the second floor (near the sky bridge), provide separate floor finish
or other to keep the minimum required corridor width clear and unobstructed.
T10 Identify the “anesthetizing locations” throughout the emergency department. NFPA 99
T11 Identify the location and quantity of med gas cylinders that will be stored throughout the
project area (including Urgent Care).
T12 Provide information in the functional program to clarify what level of patient care will be
provided at chairs (1-7) located in the “Internal Lobby”. These may be reviewed similar to
Phase 2 cubicles (50 sf) if no patient treatment will occur per FGI 2.2-3.3.3.4. If patient care
is provided, the chair spaces may be reviewed as a multiple bed treatment room (80 sf) per
FGI 2.2-3.1.3.6(3)
Depending on functional program, additional hand washing stations may be required.
T13 Provide information in the functional program to clarify what is meant by “swing rooms”.
Are these secure hold rooms? FGI 2.2-3.1.4.4
T14 Doors from secure hold rooms should swing out or be provided with rescue hardware.
FGI 2.2-3.1.4.4(3)(d)
T15 Doors to patient toilets should swing out or be provided with rescue hardware.

T16 Identify the location for storage of special pediatric and OBGYN equipment.
T17 Emergency department facilities should consider designated rooms for treating sexual trauma
patients. Rooms used for pelvic exams shall allow for the foot of the exam table to face away
from the door. FGI 2.2-3.1.3.6(1)(b)
T18 Provide information in the functional program to address the bariatric needs at this location.
What are the weight limits for patient lifts, equipment, plumbing fixtures and staff handling?
T19 Clarify what areas of the new addition will be used for Emergency Department waiting and
triage. These areas are required to have 12 total ach and be fully exhausted per FGI Table 7-
Provide a floor plan showing the seating areas that is coordinated with the HVAC plan and
the functional program.
The proposed plan shows ED waiting areas that are open to other circulation spaces (Main
Lobby 101 and Urgent Care Waiting 102). It will be important to show how the air in these
areas are “separated” with the HVAC system design if not all treated as ED waiting areas.
How do you ensure that you are getting the air changes?
T20 Consider “back doors” from the AII rooms so that patients can be brought directly to these
rooms without entering the corridor. (Recommendation only).
T21 Consult with the Snohomish County Health Department for review of the Bistro. This will
depend on who operates the bistro.
T22 Clarify in the functional program if the patients located in the Observation Unit will stay
greater than 24 hours. The proposed unit does not meet Med-surge standards and will require
revision for patient stays greater than 24 hours.

hearth and will vent through the Level 2 roof north of the skylight. A power vent cap is

Carbon monoxide detectors. Using combination smoke-CO detectors is anticipated. Lee

concerns about whether smoke detectors are required in each skylight bay between the
furred-down beams. This issue can be resolved at the next site visit. -kas
