Home My WebLink AboutRE Renton Weatherly Inn - Revision Request (5//21)Jonathan, there are three outstanding items of discussion: * Sanitary sewer revision. Section 710.0 of the UPC (attached) states that waste water from the lower floor needs to connect downstream of the next upstream manhole. There appears to be some layering between the City’s code and UPC. This is a private sewer line. The approved plans showed connections to the main downstream of the manhole too; we just added another manhole to comply with the UPC. * Recommendation: keep sanitary sewer as installed. * Storm revision. As discussed below, this was modified due to a conflict with power. This is a private storm line. Modifying this to go back to the original design does not provide any advantages to the City or the owner. * Recommendation: keep storm drain as installed. * Water revision. There is a conflict with the power. There is also a bell on the water line where the connection is to be made. The proposed revision eliminates the conflict with the bell and allows to power to stay as-is. Thanks for your consideration and review. Please keep us posted regarding your thoughts at your earliest convenience.

If you have any questions regarding the design suggestion, please let me know. With regards to the video meeting, my hours have been reduced due to furloughs/Covid-19, so I am not entertaining any meetings other than staff meetings right now, due to my heavy workload. The best way to request design changes is via email. If you feel like there is other justification that would support the design change requests submitted on 5/11/2020, please email those to me and I will try my best to get to them as soon as possible.

I have modified the RFI response to show 18” vertical separation instead of 6”. We’d still like to have a video conference with you regarding the other revisions, but this water approval is urgent. Can you please provide the City’s blessing as soon as possible.

Also, there was a conflict with the SE fire hydrant and storm drain. I’m recommending twisting the valve and installing a vertical bend with restrained joint to get under the storm drain. Please see attached for response to the RFI. Please respond at your earliest convenience regarding these two matters.

The sewer plan has been revised to show the full alignment of the conduit. We are not seeing the water/storm conflict. Regarding sewer and storm revisions….that was my fault. I thought they were minor revisions and didn’t think they were major enough to send to the City for review. My apologies for that and will be more considerate in the future. Below is summary regarding why revisions were made during construction: * Storm: added CB #26 to avoid a conflict with temporary power. * Sewer: in order to comply with UPC section 710.0, we needed to add a SSMH that had a rim lower than the FFE with the side sewer stubbed into the line downstream of the SSMH. Please let me know if you have any additional comments.
