I did not see a utility plan submitted with version 3, when the next utility plan is submitted please address comments made on Version 2 which are:
The plan indicates the use of 2 1/2" Siamese Connections for Remote FDC's. The City of Wilmington and the Fire Marshal's Office require all FDC's to be 5" Storz Connections.
Also, please add the following notes to the plan under either the General Notes (Utility Plan Sheet) or a new heading Fire & Life Safety Notes:
- Hydrant must be within 150' of the FDC. **
- The FDC must be within 40' of fire apparatus placement. **
- Landscaping or parking cannot block or impede the FDC or fire hydrants. A 3-foot clear space shall be maintained around the
circumference of the hydrant and FDC. **
- Contractor shall maintain an all weather access for emergency vehicles at all times during construction. **
- In addition to the standard comments, additional fire protection and accessibility requirements may be required
due to any special circumstances concerning the project. **
- Private Underground Fire Lines require a separate underground fire line permit from the Wilmington Fire and
Life Safety Division 910-343-0696 **
- All isolation valves within the “Hot Box” shall be electrically supervised. Please work closely with your fire
sprinkler and alarm installer in regards to running wire for tamper switch. **
** Comments must be on plans.
