DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs has been accepted for this project, and the Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee (which is calculated as 3% of the total infrastructure cost plus a water test inspection fee(s)), and the 2 inch water tap and meter setup fee have been included. These must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit. $32,873.05.

DE Contact Field Eng. Inspector

Prior to the commencement of any construction activities, the Contractor shall contact Field Engineering Inspections at (816) 969-1200 to coordinate a preconstruction meeting / conference with the assigned Field Engineering Inspector.

DE Future Repair Work

Please be aware that any future repair work to public infrastructure (e.g., water main repair, sanitary sewer repair, storm sewer repair, etc.) within public easements will not necessarily include the repair of pavement, curbing, landscaping, or other private improvements which are located within the easement.

Misc.

A waiver to stormwater detention was issued by the City Engineer on Feb. 5, 2021 for the slight increase in impervious area.

Code Statement

All issues pertaining to life safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, explosion or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures and premises, and to the safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations, shall be in accordance with the 2018 International Fire Code and local amendments.

Fire Lane Required

:IFC 503.1.1 - Approved fire apparatus access roads shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction. The fire apparatus access road shall comply with the requirements of this section and shall extend to within 150 feet (45 720 mm) of all portions of the facility and all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. Exception: The fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet (45 720 mm) where: 1. The building is equipped throughout with an approved automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, 903.3.1.2 or 903.3.1.3. 2. Fire apparatus access roads cannot be installed because of location on property, topography, waterways, nonnegotiable grades or other similar conditions, and an approved alternative means of fire protection is provided. Action required: Provide fire department access to the concession/locker room building.

Fire Lanes

IFC 503.2.1 - Fire apparatus access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet (6096 mm), exclusive of shoulders, except for approved security gates in accordance with Section 503.6, and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches (4115 mm).

Hydrants

IFC 507.5.1 - Where a portion of the facility or building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction is more than 300 feet from a hydrant on a fire apparatus access road, as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the facility or building, on-site fire hydrants and mains shall be provided where required by the fire code official. Action required: How will this condition be met?

A waiver to the Design and Construction Manual is required for the elimination of storwater detention. A template is being forwarded by separate email. Items to include in the waiver are:1) total existing impervious surface area, and 2) the total increase in impervious area as a percent. The City will support the waiver, but sufficient supporting justification such as these two items would be beneficial to discuss. It may also be beneficial to discuss the lack of existing stormwater detention, which was omitted due to the proximity to the floodplain as was the common practice at the time of construction of the high school.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal. The estimate should include only those items reviewed or inspected by the engineering group. This would include all pavement, grading to establish proper drainage, stormwater lines and structures, water lines and valves, sanitary sewer lines and manholes and cleanouts, erosion and sediment control devices, final restoration including sodding, seeding, fertilizer, mulch, and topsoil.

Please provide a vicinity map with north arrow indicating the location of the property within the City.

Will there be new ground or roof top mounted mechanical equipment? If so please provide the manufacturer’s specification sheets for proposed mechanical equipment to be used. Please also show the location, size, and type of material to be used in all screening of ground mounted mechanical equipment.
