Re: permit XXX Dear Sir,
Recently your Department requested that my company remove all of the sprinklers we installed on this project and inspect for debris inside of the piping. As a licensed contractor we practice due diligence in our installations. Our employees on this project have completed an apprenticeship program through the state. In this apprenticeship they received training on how to handle pipe on the job. It is standard practice for the fabrication shops to drop ship pipe without protective covers to the job site. Our employees are trained to inspect the interior of the piping for any obstructions and to remove debris prior to installation. If you like I am more than willing to meet with you and discuss our quality control standards. I respectfully request that you rescind your Departments request to have all sprinklers removed and reinstalled,which would result in unreasonable expense to the system owner and our company.
