Plan Review Comments
BUP # 97 -0207
SIT # 97 -0012
Dear Robert:
As per our telephone conversation earlier today, this letter
summarizes the responses to the Plan Review and describes
all required design revisions in 8 1/2" x 11" supplemental
drawings (issued to the contractor as addendum #3).
SITE WORK:
1. Handicapped Parking: Handicapped parking at Building #1
and #2 has been revised to show the ramps moved out of
the aisle as per the enclosed supplemental drawing SD -1.
2. Handicapped Parking Sign: Sign has been revised to be
7' -0" from the ground line to the bottom of the sign.
The text on the sign which states the fine has been
revised to read $300. See supplemental Drawing SD -2.
3. Accessible Route from the Rear Stairs: As per previous,
discussions with Jim Funk and our discussion this
morning, work in this area is not required due to the
scope of work on this project being mostly one of
deferred maintenance.
FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY:
1. One Hour Corridors: As per previous discussions with Jim
Funk and our discussion this morning, work in this area
is not required due to the scope of work on this project
being mostly one of deferred maintenance. No work will
be done to the corridor walls under this contract.
Owner, under separate contract, will replace all corridor
entry doors. See number 2 below.
2. 20 Minute Doors: This contract does not include the
replacement of any entry doors. Under a separate
contract, however, the owner will replace all of the
hallway entry doors with new doors. They are specified
as 20 minute doors to meet the one hour assembly rating
required by code and are listed in this specification for
owner's future convenience and code coordination only.
3. Carport #2 Storage Area: As per our discussions, this
storage area will be separated from the U -1 carport with
a 2 hour area separation wall. This area separation wall
complies with UBC section 504.6.4, exception 2.1, which
states that the wall can terminate at the underside of
the ceiling structure, rather than with a parapet. See
Supplemental Drawing SD -3. Please let me know if I have
misinterpreted this section.
4. Fire Extinguishers: Fire extinguishers currently exist
on all floors of each hallway, easily within the 75'
maximum travel distance within each hall. Provisions in
this contract call for a replacement of existing
extinguishers and surface mounted cabinets with new fire
extinguishers and surface mounted cabinets.
5. Smoke Detectors: As per the specifications, all smoke
detectors shall be battery powered only, and will not be
interconnected.
•
STRUCTURAL:
1. Water Heater Tanks: All new hot water tanks only will be
fastened to the wall with an approved seismic strap. See
Supplemental Drawing SD -4.
Please call if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Paul Ries

the Tigard Bureau of Buildings (639 -4171) to review scope of
work for the Villa La Paz renovation. Present at the
meeting were Jim Funk (City of Tigard) and Paul Ries (AFA).

Portion of the Scope of Work: Jim Funk stated that as

ADA upgrades in this project. Thiypercentage would not
include cost of interior improvements such as painting,
storage closet repair, and other miscellaneous

"Accessible entrances;
"Accessible route to the altered area;
"At least one accessible restroom for each sex or a
single unisex restroom;

"Accessible drinking fountains;
"One possible, additional accessible element such as
storage and alarms."
Funk further asked that AFA prepare a letter stating
total cost of project, the dollar amount of construction
defined by the 25% code requirement, and line item
amounts of construction dollars spent on each of the
priority issues defined in the code. This should be
addressed as a separate letter to the City of Tigard and
submitted along with the documents.
2. Smoke Detectors Required: Funk stated that smoke
detectors are required as per the drawings. He will
research whether they should be hardwired and
interconnected or just battery powered.
3. Hallways to be Fire - rated: The corridors in each
hallway need to be fire -rated as per code. Funk stated
that during plan review he will be looking closely at
door ratings and any ceiling penetrations. Funk also
stated that it would be good if a fire extinguisher was
mounted on each floor at each hallway. A surface
