OVERALL: THE FIRE ESCAPE SYSTEM WAS FOUND IN POOR CONDITION DUE TO LACK OF REQUIRED MAINTENANCE (STRUCTURAL) AND DETERIORATION (PAINT). THIS FIRE ESCAPE SYSTEM HAS MULTIPLE CONNECTION FAILURES DUE TO INTERNAL RUST GROWTH. THE SUPPORT CONNECTIONS TO THE BUILDING WALL - CEMENT OR THRU-BOLT ARE UNVERIFIED AND REQUIRE INTERNAL AND/OR EXTERNAL VERIFICATION OR DUPLICATION. THE FIRE OR CODE OFFICIAL REQUIRES THAT THIS SYSTEM BE SPOT REPAIRED AND THEN LIVE LOAD TESTED OR REFURBISHED WITH PERMIT (IF NEEDED) BUT UNDER ENGINEER OVERSIGHT TO

AVOID HAVING TO BE LIVE LOAD TESTED.

NFPA LIFE SAFETY CODE 101 7.2.8.6.2: THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION SHALL BE PERMITTED TO APPROVE ANY EXISTING FIRE ESCAPE SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN BY LOAD TEST OR OTHER SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE TO HAVE ADEQUATE STRENGTH

EPA PAINT GUIDELINES APPLY TO ALL FIRE ESCAPE SYSTEMS OLDER THAN 1978, PRESUMED TO HAVE LEAD PAINT. EPA RENOVATORS LICENSE IS REQUIRED BY ALL VENDORS. ALL REPAIRS MUST BE SPOT PRIMED AND SEALED WITH SILICONE.

APPROVAL OR VERIFICATION OF REPAIRS BY OFFICIAL OR ENGINEER MAY BE REQUIRED PRIOR TO FINAL PAINT AND SUBSEQUENT LIVE LOAD TEST OR CERTIFIED REFURBISHMENT IN LIEU OF LIVE LOAD TEST. ALL VENDORS BIDDING THIS PROJECT MUST HAVE LICENSES, WORKMAN'S COMPENSATION & LIABILITY INSURANCE, AS WELL AS FIRE ESCAPE REFERENCES.

IN LAYMAN’S TERMS, THE CITY OFFICIAL IS LOOKING FOR A QUALIFIED LICENSED REPAIR VENDOR TO DO ALL WORK UNDER REPAIR PERMIT (IF REQUIRED) WITH ENGINEER OVERSIGHT OF REPAIR CRITERIA SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL TO THE OFFICIAL IN LIEU OF LIVE LOAD TEST. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE FREE OF INTERNAL RUST OR ROT, SPOT PRIMED AND SEALED. ALL WORN MATERIAL REPAIRED AND OR REPLACED. ALL SUPPORTS INTO WALL REINFORCED, REPAIRED AND CERTIFIED IN A FIRE ESCAPE CONFIDENCE TEST. IN LIEU OF LIVE LOAD TEST, ALL SQUARE HEAD BOLTS, RIVETS AND OR WELDED CONNECTIONS MUST BE CERTIFIED, REINFORCED AND OR REPLACED BASED ON AGE OR CONDITION. ALL LADDERS AND CANTILEVERS MUST BE BALANCED AND DROP 2-3 FT PER SECOND, HIT THE GROUND AND STAY DOWN AND MUST LEAD TO A PUBLIC WAY. ALL ROOF LADDERS MUST BE SECURE. NO FULL PAINTING OF ANY FIRE ESCAPE UNTIL ALL SPOT PAINTED REPAIRS ARE INSPECTED AND CERTIFIED UNDER ENGINEER OVERSIGHT AND OR CITY OFFICIAL PERMIT SIGN-OFF. FULL REPLACEMENT IS SUBJECT TO PERMITS AND OR POSSIBLE

CODE UPGRADE REQUIREMENTS.

NFPA LIFE SAFETY CODE 101 7.2.8.6.2: THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION SHALL BE PERMITTED TO APPROVE ANY EXISTING FIRE ESCAPE SYSTEM THAT HAS

BEEN SHOWN BY LOAD TEST OR OTHER SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE TO HAVE ADEQUATE STRENGTH

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A CRITICAL BUT LIMITED CURSORY VISUAL OBSERVATIONS OF VISIBLE AND OR IDENTIFIABLE SIGNS OF RUST, ROT, DETERIORATION OF MATERIALS (STEEL AND OR WOOD), RIVETS, BOLTS, SCREWS, WELDS, CONNECTORS, THRU-BOLT/CEMENT CONNECTION, FOOTINGS, BALANCED CANTILEVER OR LADDERS AND CATWALKS OVER ROOFS. THERE IS NO CLAIM, EITHER STATED OR IMPLIED THAT ALL CONDITIONS WERE OBSERVED, ACCESSIBLE OR ANALYTICALLY EVALUATED (CALCULATED OR LIVE LOAD TESTED). THIS VISUAL CONFIDENCE TEST ONLY CONFIRMS THAT TO THE BEST INFORMATION KNOWLEDGE, BELIEF AND

IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, THE CITY OFFICIAL IS LOOKING FOR A PAINT VENDOR (EPA CERTIFIED RENOVATOR IF REQUIRED) TO DO ALL WORK AS PER EPA GUIDELINES DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL FIRE ESCAPES OLDER THAN 1978 ARE PRESUMED TO HAVE LEAD (EPA) UNLESS IDENTIFIED AS NO LEAD OR LOW LEAD BY A LICENSED LEAD INSPECTOR. ENTIRE BUILDING WILL BE NOTIFIED WITH SIGNAGE AND ALL PRECAUTIONS SHALL BE TAKEN TO COLLECT PAINT CHIPS AT GRADE. NO SANDBLASTING OR POWER ASSISTED SCRAPING WITHOUT FULL FIRE ESCAPE ENCAPSULATION UNDER EPA GUIDELINES. ALL MAJOR CONNECTION SHALL BE SEALED FROM WATER INTRUSION BEFORE DURING OR AFTER PAINTING. ALL ESCAPES SHOULD BE SPOT PAINTED EVERY 3-5 YRS AND FULLY PAINTED EVERY 5-10 YRS OR AS NEEDED OR ORDERED BY FIRE/CODE

OFFICIAL.

STEPS TO PASS FIRE ESCAPE AS PER CONVERSATIONS AND REVIEW WITH THE FIRE/CODE OFFICIAL.

1. ENGINEER OVERSIGHT FOR LOAD TEST OR CERTIFIED REFURBISHMENT

2. ALL VENDORS MUST BE APPROVED BY OFFICIAL OR PULL PERMITS IF NEEDED.

3. REPAIR CRITERIA OR LOAD TEST CRITERIA MUST BE APPROVED BY OFFICIAL.
