Thank you for your note.
I witnessed a hydrostatic test & flush on 9/20 for the 1.5" underground for the
sprinkler. I asked the installer to keep the trench open until I clarified that
gravel was/was not specified. It was not. I told Reid by phone that he could
backfill once he installed a trace wire for utility detection so no one will break
it.
Allow me to pass your question to the engineering and public works folks that you
speak of. Jeanie is for Engineering and Linda is for PW water quality.
Ladies-please answer Autumn's question.
John

John,
Mike, the building inspector, was just out and concerned that I covered the fire
connection line and there isn't any sign off on my on-site card. I just need to
double check that we got the OK from you on the fire connection from the street to
the house when you were out with Cascade Alarm as they tested it.
He also mentioned that I needed engineering and public works to possibly inspect
the line before it was covered...is this correct? I don't believe this was done.
Please let me know what you think,
Autumn

-The sprinkler plans show that you are providing a 1.5" supply pipe the
sprinkler fitter/system.
-I'm not sure what PSI you mean, but the design of Cascade Alarm's system shows
328.3 gpm @ 71.4 psi requirement at the street (upstream) before your 1.5" supply.
These are immutable values that have already been tested and approved.
-Lastly, although this is one pipe many departments are involved. Engineering
Division (425 771-0220) may want to inspect from the city main to the shutoff,
Building Division (425 771-0220) will need to see from shutoff to building, then I
will inspect the riser and sprinkler piping once installed in the building.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

John,
I am sorry to bother you but my father and I are trying to get the connection
from our new 1.5 inch line on the street into the house and need a little info
before we can start. I am sure these are questions my sprinkler/alarm people should
know and please understand I have asked them numerous times with little to no help.
- What size of pipe would you like to connect from the line into the house?
- What PSI?
- Anything else I should know before I buy the pipe?
Thank you for your time,
Autumn

Forgive me for remaining outside "the know". What architectural changes are
being proposed?

John,
We are still in the process of obtaining all our permits to open the
Infant Home. Cascade Alarm, who will be installing the sprinkler & alarm systems,
called today with concerns that their design may no longer work due to architectural
changes. Is this correct? If so what will you be looking for now?
Thank you for taking the time to help me figure this out.
