REQUEST FOR INFORMATION <br />Ellensburg Rodeo Arena Improvements <br />1010 East 8th Ave. <br />TO:Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />Spokane, WA 99201 <br />COPY TO : Andrew Leeper (ALSC Architects)SIGNED : <br />Project Engineer <br />Reference Sheets:AS100 <br />PIV Layout Clarification <br />Requested <br />Respond by Date:4/29/2026 <br />RFI DESCRIPTION <br />Cascade Central Construction <br />Carley Sabedra <br />Reference Sketch:SK-116.1 <br />RESPONSE TO RFI <br />Cost/Schedule Impact:Pending response, TBD. <br />Date:4/27/2026 RFI 116 <br />203 North Washington, Suite 400 <br />Project <br />RESPONSE BY: DATE: <br />The attached SK-116.1 reflects the layout required by the Fire Marshal, which includes maintaining 3 feet of clear spacing on all sides with <br />bollards due to potential vehicle and trailer traffic. <br />As shown, this configuration occupies approximately half of the sidewalk and with multiple underground utilities, making excavation in this <br />area challenging. <br />A more suitable location would be near the hydrant. Additionally, local code does not require the PIV to be connected to the fire alarm <br />system. Please confirm whether the PIV is required to be tied into the fire alarm system. <br />If a connection is not required, relocating the PIV near the hydrant would be a more cost-effective solution. If a connection is required, it <br />would necessitate trenching across the site again; however, this alternative location would still be more practical from a constructability <br />standpoint. <br />Todd Keller (ALSC Architects)Section <br />Division <br />Title <br />Let us know if moving it to the east if feasible. This would be more out of the way but understand it <br />extends the line. Kady does not want it to be by the fire hydrant as it will be an obstruction for concert <br />events etc. Keeping it off the track and BTC area is preferred. See notes below for tie in to the fire <br />alarm. <br />Todd Keller ALSC 4/28/26 <br />RESPONSE TO RFI <br />RESPONSE BY: DATE: <br />MW Electrical Comment: <br />It is recommended to utilize the fire alarm system to provide supervision of the Post Indicator Valve (PIV). It is not necessarily required to be <br />tied into the fire alarm system however, per NFPA 13, Section 16.9.3.3.1 it is required to be supervised to prevent accidental shutoff. <br />Acceptable methods of supervision are identified below: <br />1. Electronically: Monitored by a central station, proprietary, or remote station signaling service. <br />2. Local Alarm: A local signaling service that notifies building occupants of a valve closure. <br />3. Locking: Valves are locked in the open position. <br />4. Sealing: Valves are sealed within fenced enclosures under control of the owner, with inspections conducted weekly. <br />Aaron Lanegan 04-28-2026
