1. Fire suppression systems:
A. TP will require sprinklers in the cafe areas. Theses areas are "substantially
renovated" portion of the existing building. This area is also a change of use. This is
also considered an addition and will require fire suppression because of the " use"
requirements of Al Theaters.
B. TP will not require sprinklers in the orchestra or balcony areas because these are not
"substantially renovated" portions of the existing building.
C . TP stated that the sprinklers required in the theater are to be class III standpipe
systems. The code states that 2 1/2" is minimum diameter for supply standpipe, and
1 1/2" dia. hose stations are minimums. All of the existing sprinklers must be repaired
to working order.
D . TP considers the mezzanine area to be;a class III standpipe system and we only
need the addition of a 2 1/2" hose connection for the fire department..
E. Proscenium: TP stated that either a fire curtain or deluge system are acceptable
alternates to fire separating the stage from the orchestra. Hobie Iselin is pricing both
options for a determination.
F. TP stated that since the grid above the stage has less than 70% openings, the
sprinkler system must cover the area above and below the grid. This means we must
install new sprinklers under the grid. Those above the grid must be repaired to working
order.
8. Doors/Windows
A. New exterior doors proposed: Metal doors with aluminum framing with wood
trim on face of metal framing.
B. HI needs to know wheter we have any problems with a vertical lift door at the stage
load-in door.
C. HI needs spec on folding partition door in dressing room.
9. Finishes
A. Cleaning spec to be separated from painting spec. By TD for Monday April 6.
B. Paint samples to be completed by Friday April 10

14 Conveying Systems No elevator or lift is planned
15 Mechanical/Plumbing
JK will coordinate concrete step in coal room with Joanne Smith's equipment.
16 Electrical/Sound/Light
A. Electrical inspector wants all wiring which is to remain to be painted with orange
paint for identification. His questionable areas include existing wiring in conduit or bx
or other metal shielding that is to remain. He would like to arrange a walk through
with the selected electrical contractor, Hobie Iselin, and the architect to review wiring
to remain.
B. TD recommends that no chandeliers be.repaired. All chandeliers will be new. The
only fixtures we are rewiring will be the plaster wall sconces. Preliminary pricing from
Hobie is $200 each for rewiring, cleaning, and prime coat painting with off white flat
primer.
