RE: Town of South Windsor
Public Works Facility Addition
137 Burgess Road
Dear Mr. Dougan,
We are in receipt of your October 16, 2006 Corrections Notice regarding the subject project. We
offer the following information in response to items 4, 7, and 9:
4. Provide sprinkler protection where combustible materials are present above drop ceilings
and concealed spaces, (above locker room area, adjacent transition between old/new
construction).
Response: As discussed in the attached letter from Robt. TV. Hall Consulting Engineers,
Inc., we do not believe that sprinkler protection is necessary for the combustible material
that was found above the drop ceiling. Based on the standards established by NFPA 13—
Automatic Sprinkler Systems Handbook, sprinklers are not required if the heat content of
the facing and substrate is less than 1,000 Btu/sf. We have calculated the heat content of
the facing and found that it is approximately 200 Btu/sf.
7. Clarification on roof drainage,columns 1-10. 1) Square footage of roof field, ie: 5400 sq.
fl vs. 1602 sq. ft, leader size and primary/secondary independently designed. 2) Use
1996 International Plumbing Code.
Response: iVe have re-calculated the roof drainage design between column lines I and
, 10 based on a 5,581 square foot area. Based on these calculations (attached) two
a(J' scuppers are required for the primary roof drain system. We are providing a total of six
scuppers for this area. The additional four scupper downspouts are intended to serve as
the secondary roof drainage system.
9. Factor snow drift surcharge at high/low roof areas that are relevant to new roof overlay
areas per letter to Mike Gantick from Don Nicholas dated Oct. 5, 2006.
Response: Included in our calculations of the existing roof dead load is a snow load of
30 pounds per square foot. it'hile surcharges associated with snowdrifts may occur on
this section of roof, these are loads that currently exist and, therefore, will not be

additional loads. The additional member loading results from the proposed roof
insulation system that was estimated to be less than 3 pounds per square foot which
results in an increase of less than 5%to the roof dead load.
We trust that we have satisfactorily addressed your concerns. If you have any additional
questions or comments regarding these issues,please feel free to give me a call at 781-380-7750,

Re: South Windsor DPW
Protection of Combustible Materials Above Ceilings
Dear Thomas,
We have reviewed the requirements of NFPA 13 in regards to the presence of vinyl
insulation facing in concealed spaces. Section 8.14.1.2.12 of NFPA 13 (copy attached)
addresses this situation. The standard states that if the heat content of the facing and
substrate is less than 1000 Btu/sf sprinklers are not required.
This insulation is vinyl faced. We calculated the heat content of the facing and found that
it to be 201 Btu/sf. Based on this we do not believe sprinkler protection above the
ceilings is required. Our calculation and data on the vinyl facing is attached.
If there are any additional questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Ar:y o°these scenarios coziid be found to a concealed space. It is imperant to recognize v,
that coaceaicd spaces are not exclusi;e1�•luralec to areas above ceiLrgs but can also be found r in walls and is spaces beneath the floor.For example; a raised floor in a computer room 1s a er
concealed space. If none of Zhe three prescribed conditions exists, the ;pace is defined as a
concealed; noncembu;Cble ;pace with respect to combustible objects and requires no add. 8
tional sp:initler protection. _tic
Some minor quantifies of combustible r~aterials, such as cemmuricaeon wiring, can be "`
present in some concealed:paces but should not topically be viewed as requiring sprinklers eC
see 8.14.1.1). The threshold value at which sprinklers become necessary in the concealed :'10
space is not defined.For example,the usual amounts of data or telephone wiring found above qt
a ceiling would not typically constitute a threat.If bundles of unsheathed computer wiring are
installed above the ceiling or beneath the floor in a manner where fin propagation in all'direc. Y '
lions is Likely, then the concealed space should be treated the same as a combustible space,
thereby requiring appropriate sprinkler protection. If some ocher protection measure is pro-
Tided, such as a CO2 system, then the concealed space is considered to be protected, and J l
sprinklers are not required.
8.14.1.24 Concealed Spaces Not Requiring Sprinkler Protection.
A.S.14.1.2 Subsections 8.14.1.2.3; 8.14.1.2.4,and S.I o not require spri I-T protec-
t:.,u because it is not physically practical to install sprinklersibility of uncontrolled fire spread,con-
in the types of concealed spaces
discussed in these three exceptions.To reduce the possibility
sideratiou should be given in these unsprinklered concealed space situations to using
8 14.1.2.7, 8.14.1.2.10,and 8.14.1.2.12.
The subparagraphs of 8.14.1.2 indicate conditions where sprinklers are not required in spaces '
that would normally require sprinklers. Sometimes the building is modified to meet one of,
these exceptions to avoid installing sprinklers in the space.Not all of these exceptions provide
an equivalent level of fire safety,because some of the exceptions simply recognize that the in-
stallation of sprinklers in the space is not physically practical.This difference in level of fire
safety is especially true of 8.14.1.2.3, 8.14.1.2.4, and 8.14.1.2.5, which primarily exist t6
cover situations where sprinklers are retrofitted into existing buildings.
8.14.1.11 Noncombustible and limited combustible concealed spaces with no combustible----
loading having no access shall not require sprinkler protection.The space shall be considered
a concealed space even with small openings such as those used as return air for a plenum.
8.14.1.2.2 Noncombustible and limited combustible concealed spaces �•ith limited access
and not permitting occupancy or storage of combustibles shall not require sprinkler protec
tion. The space shall be considered a concealed space even with small openings such as those
used as return air for a plenum.
Paragraphs 8.14.1.2.1 and 8.14.1.2.2 were added to the 2002 edition to address an ama other
exceptions were not clearly stated in previoas editions. These new paragraphs permit the
omission of sprinklers from nencombust:ble or limited combustible concealed spaces havir4
no combustible loading and.united or no access. These spaces are pe--r med to ha,.e s,-nj ,

8.14.1.2.13 Concealed spaces below insulation that is laid directly on top of or urtbin the
ceiling joists in an otherwise sprinklemd attic shall not require sprinkler protection.
Paragraph 8.14.1.2.13 indicates that sprinklers are not required in the space between the insu-
lation in an attic and the ceiling sheathing.The sprinklers in the attic are anticipated to pro, t`
ide spfficient protection.
8.14.1.2.14 'I'ertical pipe chases under 10 ft2 (0.93 m2), where provided that in mul .':
buildings the chases are fire stopped at each floor using mate tifloor
rials equivalent to the floor con_
struction, and where such pipe chases shall contain no sources of ignition, piping shad be
noncombustible,and pipe penetrations at each floor shall be properly sealed and shall not re-
quire sprinkler protection. ,
Paragraph 8.14.1.2.I4 is included in the standard due to the impracticality of installing spanIM
-
klers in the small spaces that are usually behind the walls of bathrooms and kitchens in rrb
ec
dential facilities.This reqesi-
uirement supports the premise that sprinklers can only be omitted in
concealed spaces where the installation of s nnkl 8.

8.14.1.3 Concealed Space Design]Requirements. Sprinklers in concealed spaces ha�-ing no T�
access for storage or other use shall be installed in accordance with the requirements for light
