An information sheet that was <br />distributed. This information sheet indicated that a fire suppression system is <br />required for the Random Park Building. <br /> <br />On June 12, 2006, Staff presented Change Order No. 1 for the Random Park <br />Building Replacement Project. This change order was for a 4-inch water service <br />for supply to the fire sprinkler system, a 1-inch domestic water service line, and <br />installation of a sprinkler system within the building. The total cost of this change <br />order was $52,322.55. This change order was not approved by the City Council <br />as it failed to receive three affirmative votes. <br /> <br />On June 26, 2006, Staff provided an update report on adding a fire sprinkler <br />system to the building. The report indicated that the Fire Department has <br />reconsidered the details of the sprinkler requirements for Random and Groveland <br />Park Buildings and has determined that a lesser standard would be acceptable <br />and would still meet the intent of the code. This acceptable standard is an NFPA <br />13-D sprinkler system, which is a residential style fire sprinkler system. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Staff met with the consultant and contractor on June 26, 2006 to discuss <br />implementing the installation of an NFPA 13-D sprinkler system in the Random <br />Park Building. The contractor informed Staff that his sprinkler system <br />subcontractor informed him that the NFPA 13-D sprinkler system would still <br />require a 1 ½ “ water service to operate the system – a ¾ “ water service <br />currently exists. The Change Order that was presented on June 12, 2006 in the <br />amount of $52,322.55 had three components: <br />Water Supply Line - 4” service line to serve the sprinkler system. $19,278.75, <br />Domestic Water Service – to allow for tankless toilets. $2,571.80, <br />Sprinkler System - $30,472.00.
