2. General: Drawings are not signed or sealed by a qualified designer. An individual
meeting the requirements of the specification for a qualified designer shall sign and
stamp the shop drawings. In addition, a notarized copy of qualifying certificate (NICET
III or higher in water based fire protection systems layout or licensed fire protection
engineer) should be sent to OBO/OPS/FIRE prior to installation in accordance with IBC
Section 107.3.4. If possible, OBO/OPS/FIRE recommends utilizing a qualified designer
from South Africa.
a. 12/18/2020 Comment Open: Drawings are not stamped and signed by a
qualified designer.
3. General: Addis Ababa is located in a Seismic Design Category D (see General Notes in
the project’s Structural Drawings for additional information). The fire protection shop
drawings need to include seismic restraints and provide details for longitudinal, lateral,
four-way, sway bracing and wall penetration details (utilize flexible couplings on either
side of a wall penetration). In addition, the drawings need to include seismic calculations
in accordance with NFPA 13 Section 9.3 and Annex A Figure 9.3.5(a).

and wall penetration details are not identified in the drawing set. Provide
details as requested. Not attended
WSP: This information to be provided in the fire protection system typical detail
drawings.
WSP, 08 February 2021 - Closed
4. Sheet FF 301: The fire pump arrangement appears to be installed in accordance with UK
standards (redundant fire pumps) rather than NFPA 20 (2013). Instead of installing two
fire pumps a single diesel fire pump should suffice, unless hydraulic calculations prove
otherwise. OBO/OPS/FIRE recommends utilizing a single skid-mounted diesel fire pump
pre-fabricated by Fluid Solutions LLC.
a. 12/18/2020 Comment Closed.
Fire Alarm Shop Drawing Review August 26, 2020:
5. General: The fire alarm system design is part of the electrical low current system
package, which includes other trades e.g. security. The fire alarm drawing package shall
be its own standalone submittal and contain only scope related to fire alarm system
design in accordance with IBC Section 907.1.2.
This comment was corrected. The fire alarm system has a separate set of drawings.
WSP: The drawings are standalone, there is no other system indicated in the drawings
a. 12/18/2020 Comment Open: A standalone fire alarm package has been
provided. However, the design does not meet NFPA 72 design standards, as
referenced by the IBC. Notable discrepancies include:
General: The consultant had revised the drawings based on NFPA 72.
However, due to cost issues, these set of drawings were done with the
consent of the system reviewer.
WSP: The fire alarm system is designed based on NFPA 72 and Local
authority requirements.
1. Drawings do not differentiate the functionality of various smoke
detectors. For example, a subscript should be used to identify smoke
detectors that initiate phase 1 elevator recall. Clarify which smoke
detectors require additional programming for phase 1 elevator recall
and stair pressurization. The colored comments appear Not attended
This is clearly explained on the cause and effect matrix.
WSP:
In accordance with NFPA 72, section 21.3.3 Phase I elevator recall – The
elevator will be recalled upon confirmed fire signal from the fire alarm
device located in the elevator lobby as indicated in the sequence of
operation and same was included in the fire code study sheet.
WSP, 08 February 2021 – Included in the fire code study sheet, Drawing
no. A102

2. Drawings do not identify circuit classification for the initiating device

circuit and notification appliance circuit. The plans allude to both
Class A and Class B circuit configurations; however, end-of-line-
resistors are not indicated. Please provide clarification as to what
circuit type is being provided and indicate location of end-of-line-
resistors.
It is a Class A circuit.
WSP – the drawings to be updated for OBO submission, refer to the mark
up drawings
WSP, 08 February 2021 – to be updated
3. The sequence of operations does not differentiate smoke detectors
located in tenant suites from smoke detectors in common areas. This
type of configuration would lead to nuisance alarms. OBO/FIRE
recommends smoke alarms (sounder base) in lieu of smoke detectors
and recommends the following sequence of operations for tenant
smoke detectors:
 When a single smoke alarm is activated within the tenant suite
only the smoke alarms within the suite shall go into alarm.
When two smoke detectors activate within the same suite, the
entire building will go into general alarm. If the sequence of
operations remains as shown tenants and building staff will
likely experience numerous false evacuations.
Please find the attached cause and effect matrix.
WSP – Currently, the fire alarm system programmed based on positive
alarm sequence in accordance with NFPA 72 to minimize the nuisance
alarm. This will applicable to tenant suite as well and acceptable to local
authority. Also, 180 seconds investigation period considered for single
detectors activation within the tenant suite.
WSP, 08 February 2021 – This will be reviewed later
4. The fire alarm plans indicate full smoke detection with the tenant
units; however, smoke alarms are only required in each sleeping area
and outside every sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the
bedrooms i.e., corridors. Consider removing smoke detection from
tenant closets, kitchens and areas that do not have direct access to
bedrooms.
17.5.3.1 Total (Complete) Coverage. Where required by other governing
laws, codes, or standards, and unless otherwise modified by 17.5.3.1.1 through 17.5.3.1.5, total
coverage shall include all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, attics, lofts, spaces above
suspended ceilings, and other subdivisions and accessible spaces, as well as the inside of all
closets, elevator shafts, enclosed stairways, dumbwaiter shafts, and chutes.

WSP – The detectors are provided based on project specification which was more than the code
requirements. All the devices are procured, and the detectors will be remain same as indicated in
the drawings.
WSP, 08 February 2021 – No further comments

6. General: Drawings are not signed or sealed by a qualified designer. An individual

meeting the requirements of the specification for a qualified designer shall sign and
stamp the shop drawings. In addition, a notarized copy of qualifying certificate (NICET
III or higher in fire alarm systems or licensed fire protection engineer) should be sent to
OBO/OPS/FIRE prior to installation in accordance with IBC Section 107.3.4. If possible,
OBO/OPS/FIRE recommends utilizing a qualified designer from South Africa.
a. 12/18/2020 Comment Open: Drawings are not stamped and signed by a
qualified designer.

WSP: The drawing review are carried out by CFPS and CFI I certification
holders within the team and stamped by them. If required, the certificate will be
shared. Not attended, we think it may be good if WSP share the certification
and prove that they comply with NFPA requirements, this same shall be the
reply to all certification request on the above paragraph
WSP: This will be provided along with the revised submission
7. General: The fire alarm system was designed using the BS 5839 UK Fire Standard;
however, the IBC references the NFPA 72 design standard. NFPA 72 and BS 5839 are
similar in kind; however, one significant difference between the two is the spacing
requirements for audible and visual appliances. NFPA 72 is more conservative in regard
to spacing of visual appliances. The audible/visual appliance layout shall be revised
using the spacing requirements contained in NFPA 72 (2013) Section 18.4 and Tables
18.5.5.4.1(a) and 18.5.5.4.1(b). is the spacing issue addressed?
General: The consultant had revised the drawings based on NFPA 72. However, due to
cost issues, these set of drawings were done with the consent of the system reviewer.
There was a sound consultant who verified the specified sounders in each apartment as
well as those in the corridors will provide sufficient sound to evacuate.
WSP: The sounders with strobe lights are provided including the basements and typical
levels as commented. NFPA 72 is not providing specific distance requirement as long as
sound levels are met
WSP, 08 February 2021 – Sound level calculation is provided, to be included in OBO
submission.
a. 12/18/2020 Comment Open: WSP’s response references NFPA 101 Chapter
30 and states visual notification appliances are not required. However, NFPA
101 Section 30.3.5.3 explicitly states notification appliances are required and
references NFPA 72. Provide notification appliances in accordance with
NFPA 72.
Notification appliances are provided.

WSP – Notification appliances (Alarm sounder with strobe located in the corridor and
apartment).
8. General: The following list represents the minimum documentation required for all fire
alarm and emergency communications systems per NFPA 72 (2013):
a. Written narrative providing intent and system description per 7.2
The intent and system description is provided on the cover page of the drawing. – to be
updated as per mark up drawings
b. Riser diagram per 7.2
1. 12/18/2020 Comment Open: A riser diagram has been provided for
both the SLC and NAC circuits. However, it is unclear where each
circuit terminates and what circuit classification the system is. The
riser diagram indicates a Class B circuit but doesn’t show an end-of-
line-resistor. Also, fire dampers are mechanically operated and cannot
be interfaced with a fire alarm control system. Does the designer
mean smoke dampers?
The circuit is Class A. Both the NAC and SLC circuits are terminated at
the main fire alarm panel. The designer means smoke dampers.
WSP – The provided circuits are in accordance with NFPA 72
SLC – Class A circuit
NAC – Class B circuit
The motorized smoke dampers are interfaced with fire alarm system as
part of smoke control system.
WSP, 08 February 2021 – Not indicated in the fire alarm system
schematic diagram as commented previously
In addition, it appears several panels are missing from the fire alarm
system. How will the local fire department be notified if there is an
alarm? Typically, a DACT panel transmits a signal to a control
center, which in-turn sends a signal to the local fire department.
Where do the firefighter phone jacks connect to? How do the
notification appliance interface with the FACP? Typically, NAC
panels control the notification appliances. Can the FACP power all of
notification appliances?
The FACP will power all the notification appliances. There is an
emergency voice communication system (EVCS) included.
WSP :
a) Local authority do not have the DACT system to notify the fire
signal from the building automatically, the local fire department
will be notified through telephone.
b) Fire fighters phone jack connected with the fire alarm system.

c) All notification appliances are connected with the fire alarm

system through amplifier, the amplifier has own battery.
d) All the batteries are sized to operate all notification devices
simultaneously (full load) as required by NFPA 72.
WSP, 08 February 2021 – to be updated
c. Sequence of operation in an input/output matrix
1. 12/18/2020 Comment Open: A sequence of operations narrative has
been provided. The alarm sequence suggests a general alarm
sequence. However, due to the large occupant load in this building
wouldn’t a selective evacuation sequence make more sense (floor
above and floor below alarm)?
This is exactly how the sequence of operation is provided. There will be
an alarm in the floor above and floor below if no action is taken in 15
seconds. If no action is taken in 180 seconds, the alarms in the rest of the
floor will be activated.
WSP – Refer to the cause and effect matrix, initially fire floor, floor above
and below will be evacuated automatically upon confirm fire signal. The
total building evacuation can be broadcasted from the FACP when
required. Revised cause and effect to prepared by the contractor.
we think we need to confirm this statement, unless it was corrected
now the previous arrangement was to make total evacuation, modified
cause and effect matrix shall be attached.
WSP, 08 February 2021 – to be update after discussion with FA team
In addition, the riser diagram includes interfaces from the access
control system, Kamelon windows, smoke dampers and guard house
panel. However, the sequence of operations narrative does not identify
how these are controlled by the fire alarm system. Identify how these
systems are interfaced and their functionality.
On the cause and effect matrix, these items are indicated as “ release
secured door, high speed door, sliding door & door holder” for the access
control system, “smoke extract/supply damper close” for smoke dampers
and “mimic panel/repeater panel” for the repeater panel at guard house.
WSP – Kamelon window is omitted, refer cause and effect matrix for
interface details of the following:
- Access control system
- Smoke dampers
The repeater panel located in the guard house.
WSP, 08 February 2021 – the revised schematic diagram is updated by
removing the kamelon windows, the cause and effect matrix to be
reviewed with the contractor. – to be discussed
