[Sprinklerforum] Re: Decommissioning of Class II Hose Cabinet

[Roger Gragg]

REMINDER & WARNING
DO NOT ! (violations can result in loss of posting privileges)


Never, ever discuss pricing issues. Doing so can be construed as a violation of 
anti-trust laws and can endanger the continuation of the SprinklerForum and the 
tax-exempt status of AFSA. Due to the sensitivity of these issues, those who 
violate this rule will not be allowed to post messages in the future. Note 
there is a difference in pricing and costs. It is OK to say the AHJ charges a 
certain fee for inspections. It is NOT OK for you to say you price your fees at 
$XXX per inspection. Any time someone can compare their pricing (not costs) to 
yours, you are on dangerous grounds.

> The local AHJ is allowing the decommissioning of these cabinets (removal of

> Any AHJ’s out there that would allow the building owner/manager to do this
