It is a BUILDING CODE issue that the engineer of record is to
determine if the BUILDING and the systems therein require seismic
protection. SInce NFPA 13 only tells you how and not when to install
seismic protection, do you think the BUILDING OFFICIAL is expecting
the contractor of one of the systems to determine whether protection
is required? You might want to talk to them while you are filing a
complaint on the PE that sealed the FP sheet (and maybe the engineer
of record) with the state Board of Registration. We are fortunate in
a few states (very few though) where the AHJ notifies the Board when
the PE makes big, obvious mistakes.

on the sealed FP sheets is said the sprinkler contractor was

determine if seismic was required. Because of the timeframe, etc. we
excluded Seismic in our bid.
