PROJECT MANAGER’S SIGNATURE ____________________________ DATE ____________

REVIEW ITEMS CHECK N/A COMMENT

Orientation Review

Review investigation reports, POR (for familiarity only), geotechnical reports, design analysis, and code analysis for completeness, technical adequacy, and familiarity

Briefly review the set of plans to become familiar with the project.

Verify all previous design review comments have been incorporated.

Verify drawing size, lettering, and shading meet Agency requirement

Verify elevation, section, and detail symbols meet Agency requirements

Structural Plan

The correct seismic zone, wind load, and snow load have been used.

Adequacy of structural design.

Columns, floor beams and roof beams are listed in column and beam schedules.

Length of all columns in column schedule. Match the length shown in section and the elevations shown on plans.

Sections are properly labeled.

Dimensions match architectural Notes are referenced, clearly stated, and do not conflict with specifications.

Architectural Plan

Columns, bearing walls, and overall building dimensions match with structural

Existing and new work is clearly identified on site plan.

Firestopping is provided as needed.

That all work involving hazardous material (i.e., lead, asbestos, mercury bulbs, PCB ballasts, etc.) is clearly identified and handled in accordance with local regulations.

Adequate seismic consideration is given based on seismic zone.

Plumbing Plan

New gas, water, sewer, and other utility lines are connected to existing utility lines and the same type of lines and meters are provided as appropriate.

Size of pipes and that drains are connected

Pipes are sized sensibly and drains are connected and do not interfere with foundations

Mechanical Plan

HVAC floor plans match with architectural plans

Sections are identical to architectural and structural.

Roof penetration (ducts, fans, and other utilities) are indicated on roof

Structural support required for mechanical equipment is indicated on structural drawings.

Adequate ceiling height exists at worst case duct intersection or at largest beam.

Ductwork is sized.

Air conditioning units, heaters, and exhaust fans with architectural roof

Air conditioning units, heaters, and exhaust fans with mechanical schedules.

. Mechanical equipment will fit in spaces allocated and there is room for maintenance (removing filters or tubes).

Mechanical space is adequately protected for refrigerant selected (i.e., alarms, separate rooms, etc.).

Horsepower ratings for major pieces of equipment match on mechanical, electrical drawings and specifications.

The location of intake ducts to building and confirm that other hazards will not be introduced into building, e.g., exhaust from trucks at loading dock

Location of HVAC controls/alarms and ensure fire and smoke dampers are controlled by an automatic alarm device.

All local laboratory exhaust systems are ducted and maintained under negative pressure to prevent leakage of contaminated air into occupied spaces

Adequate (and when appropriate fire-resistive rated) service openings are provided in air ducts adjacent to each dampers.

HVAC control sequence and logic.

given based on seismic zone.

Electrical Plan

Electrical floor plans are identical to architectural and mechanical. Check that the location of floor mounted equipment is consistent between disciplines.

The location of light fixtures matches architectural and reflected ceiling plan and that light fixtures do not conflict with the structure or mechanical HVAC system.

Major pieces of equipment have electrical connections and phases and voltages are consistent with other discipline schedules.

Locations of panel boards are consistent with architectural, mechanical, and plumbing floor plans and the panel boards are indicated on the electrical riser diagram.

Notes are referenced and clearly stated.

Sufficient space for electrical panels to fit

Electrical equipment is appropriate to the type of hazard that can be anticipated in high humidity areas such as greenhouses, and animal facilities.

Electrical receptacles, switches, and controls are located to avoid liquid spills, sprays, or moist environment, and GFCI is provided where appropriate

Fire detection systems are specified in accordance with Federal, State, and local codes

Actuation of any smoke/heat/sensor will sound the fire alarm and provide the function of controlling the ventilation systems.

All audible and visual fire alarms meet UFAS and are adequate in design placement, specification, and application. (Minimum visual signals shall be provided in general use areas such as rest rooms, meeting rooms, corridors, and lobbies.)

All means of egress and related components have emergency lighting and that all exits are clearly marked and exit signs are illuminated.

Fire alarm manual pull stations are located in a natural path of travel near an exit, but not more than 61m (200 ft.) in horizontal travel with a minimum of one pull station on each floor (including attics and basements.)
