FIRE AND SAFETY PROJECT REVIEW REPORT ATTACHMENT

Review By: Peter A. Larrimer, RSFPE Phone No: (412) 365-5466 Date: October 31, 2000 Page - 1 Facility: Altoona Project Title (%): This is a space for 165 characters of title. The font for the Date on Dwgs:

headings are CG Times (scalable) 12 pt and sized (ctr-F8) Project No: 503-01-101 superscripted. The line spacing is .75". October 31, 2000

ITEM NO: COMMENTS BY VA FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEER (* Indicates Advisory Comments) RESOLUTION (Provided by A /E)

*93-1* This is a sample of the output from an eastern COMMENTS BY A/E region project review report along with the type of font used. The type of font used in the header is critical although the type used for ones' individual comments is arbitrary. This in courier 12 cpi.

93-2 I have used call lack (function in the table COMMENTS BY A/E settings) to allow the heading to be used s a fill in type form which protects the spaces which should not be changed such as "Review By:” etc.

93-3 The font used for the Item No, Mandatory Comments COMMENTS BY A/E and RESOLUTIONS is cg times (scalable) 12 pt bold and a bold attribute. Items in parenthesis are italisized.
