Many Times what we see in both NAV FAC and C O Engineers work is the "Layout can be done by a NICET, however a Quality control (QC FPE) fire protection engineer (Hired by the GC) must review and in some cases becomes the AHJ. Be careful tho since the QC FPE is responsible for all fire protection review. Extinguishers, alarms, travel distances and submittal reviews for compliance ect.

Many times the military REQUIRES an FPE. This may have been taken care of by the architectural team but if the job is design build, is the general looking to you to provide? We get calls all the time asking if we can provide a FPE stamp for military projects all over the country where the contractor bid the work and then realized the requirement. Seldom does this work as most of the time they are looking for a rubber stamp but we have contracted to be the EOR and become part of their team. Funny thing is that many military projects that are design bid build require any PE stamp but many of the design build projects require the FPE.

We are, however, doing a project now for a military foundation on a military complex, and we're giving copies of our system to the locals, but its lip service. As for PE qualifications? You're right, that horse has been pulverized so many times, its too close to lunch in many parts of the country to describe. glc _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
