Bomgaar's Code Clarifications
Howard,
Good morning. I received an email list of a few possible Code concerns from John Engstler that you and he discussed
and needed some Architectural clarification from me. I've listed them below with my comments. My overall opinion is
these fall under the Existing Building Code and do not need to be corrected.
Note: City of Blair has adopted the 2009 IEBC, International Existing Building Code, so these concerns fall under the
definition of the lowest level scope of work, an "Alteration - Level 1". Alteration Level 1 talks about maintenance and
direct replacement of building components that by current Codes aren't ideal, but do not reduce existing safety or
accessibility and therefore can remain.
Items:
1) The existing front entry vestibule is having the north and south existing exterior swing doors replaced and upgraded
to sliding automatic doors. This replacement in itself triggers no required Code upgrades and is actually making the door
openings safer and more accessible. A concern was expressed about the existing stoops, but John has indicated he
already plans to replace the south stoop and make it Code compliant. The north stoop by Existing Code can stay existing.
2) The two interior vestibule doors leading into the store are being replaced in the same location. There was a concern
about the two small ramps that rise approximately 2". Again, doing a direct replacement on the doors does not trigger
any additional required scope or Code upgrades.
3) There was a concern about the dead-end corridor length leading to the offices. By current IBC 2009 Code, 20 feet is
the base maximum, but both the IBC and Life Safety Code allow this to be increased to 50 feet with a sprinkler system.
Bomgaar's is fully sprinklered in the existing and new spaces.
Any questions or comments please let me know, thanks.

Scott: Thanks for your input on the doors and corridor. I agree with you on all three items in your letter. I would like to
point out that we never required the dead end corridor to be altered. (See attached item #18 on my 9/30/14 plan review
letter). We just said that the State MAY not approve. The current approved plans show there is a door opening at the w.
end of the corridor. Is this opening going to be closed now? If so, that meets our code but we will need an addendum
from you. Otherwise, there is an issue with a step down at that door opening that needs addressed.
We will need addendum drawings for the new S. landing and the new sliding doors of the main entries for City approval
prior to installation.
On another note, I failed the inspection for the new man door landing at the new S. addition, w. end. I told the
contractor that we need the landing constructed as per your details on the approved plans or another drawing from you
that meets code for us to review and approve prior to construction. Do you know what the status is on the door?
Thank you again,
Howard Wolfe

Subject: Plan review for Bomgaars addition -Blair NE.
Please forward this plan review letter to: Jason Heinze, Coordinating Professional for Bomgaar's addition and copy me.
Please respond to the following plan review comments:
1. Provide one more set of plans for us to mark and return to you. We received only one set.
2. Provide storm water plans and calculations.
3. Submit 2 sets of Fire Sprinkler plans and Call 402-426-4191 to apply for a Fire Sprinkler permit to the City of
Blair.
4. Submit 2 sets of Fire Alarm plans and Call 402-426-4191 to apply for a Fire alarm permit to the City of Blair.
5. Provide Com -check lighting and mechanical calculations for review.
6. Provide mechanical and plumbing permit applications. To apply, call 402-426-4191.
7. Note: Electrical permits for this project are through the State of Nebraska.
8. List on the plans any required Special Inspections. (Concrete, High strength bolts, site structural welding,
structural epoxy bolts -etc)
9. Show design parameters for concrete and soil capacity.
10. Provide a copy of the soils investigation report if more than 1,500 psi soil is assumed
11. Show on the plans a Key box on the exterior wall near the front main entrance for the Fire Department.
12. Show on the plans a new four foot minimum wide public sidewalk along HWY 30 for the length of the lot.
Truncated domes are required on both sides of the driveway. City will provide the actual truncated dome pads
for you to install.
13. At a minimum, construct a walkway from the public sidewalk adjacent to the driveway up to the new 5' wide
concrete section at the South end of the new parking lot. (See sheet C1-01.grid 6-E). We would prefer you
consider an accessible path from the public sidewalk to the main entrance of the building that would meet ADA
requirements unless you can demonstrate that it is technically infeasible.
14. Will there be any high piled combustible storage? (Storage over 12' above the floor)
15. Show exit signs at all exits and exit illumination as per IBC requirements. Show backup power for both.
16. How many BTU's is the heating equipment? Is it fuel burning? Will it be in the mechanical room shown on the
plans or on the roof?
17. Show the ventilation occupant load for breathable air as per Chapter 12, 2009 edition of the IBC. Show how
many CFM's per person per space or room.
18. Based on our experience, the dead end corridor shown on Sheet A105 for the offices and break room may not
meet State approval. They review the plans under NFPA 101.
Thank you,
