questions regarding these issues to Steve Mosebach at (913) 895-6266.

The revised electrical drawings submitted to the city were not sealed by a design
professional licensed with the state of Kansas.
2.
Repeat comment: The supporting construction for the stair terminating on the second
floor shall be 1-hour fire rated per Section 706.5 of the 2006 International Building
Code. This would include any walls, beams, and columns that are supporting the
masonry stair enclosure. The two beams (W21x44 & W 24x62) on Grid Line D,
between Grid Line 1 and 3 shall also be fire rated. The columns at Grid Lines B6, B-10, D-1, D-2, D-3, and D-6 shall also be fire rated. Just as the plans identify
U.L. assemblies for wall construction, the designer shall also indicate the U.L. or
other accredited agency designs for all fire rated beams and columns on the plans
as well.

Repeat comment: The supporting construction for the fire barrier walls enclosing the
Office Lobby A205 (exit passageway) shall afford the required fire-resistance rating of
the fire barrier supported per Section 706.5 of the 2006 International Building Code.
This would include all beams, girders, columns, floor slab, etc. The two beams
(W24x62 & W21x44) on Grid Line D, between Grid Line 2 and 6 shall also be

New comment: Just as the plans identify U.L. assemblies for wall construction, the
designer shall also indicate the U.L. or other accredited agency designs for all fire
rated beams and columns on the plans as well.
5.
Repeat comment: The plans do not show how sufficient working clearance in front of
the electrical panels will be maintained per Section 110.26 of the 2005 National
Electrical Code. Provide a floor plan that clearly diagrams the working clearances at
Service Room A109. Page E2.1 does not show a physical barrier or other method
to keep trash dumpsters or other equipment from being placed within the
required working clearances of the electrical equipment (MDP1 and MDP2) as
required by the 2005 National Electrical Code.
The following shall be completed at a later date, but will not delay the issuance of a building
