RESPONSE: ISO needed fire flow is 1500 gpm and noted on sheet C4.
2. Please provide ACSA available fire flow test.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Total estimated flow is 3526 gpm; ten -pound drop could not be
achieved for Q20.
Emergency access with brick pavers and reinforced turf must be able to support 80,000 lbs in all
weather, please provide statement on plans.
