NOTE: l:landicap access to a raised piatfozml at reception.area in office
Thus is in?-esponse to your question regarding whether h.atldieap access is required to a
raised platform at a receptions area in your office. It is our opinion that handicap access is
required.
,Building Code of New York State(BCNYS) section 1.104.4, multilevel buildings and
facilities, states that at least one accessible route shall connect each accessible level, including
mezzanines, in multistory buildings and facilities. This section is applicable to the platform,the
employee space and does not allow for one reception desk not on the platform. to satisfy the
requirements.
BCNYS Section 1109.12.3,point of sales and seridee counter3, states that where counters
are provided for sales or di.stributi.ou of goods or services, at least one of each type provided shall
be accessible. This section is app.l.icable to the height of the counter for custorizer use and
.requires one,not all counters to be accessible.

Emco Construction-
In answer to your request for flame spread information.Most conventional paint systems,when applied at
normal film tWokness,will develop a Class A flame spread rating over a non-combustible,previously uncoated
substrate.Substrates themselves can contribute significantly to the overall flame spread rating of the substrate and
the subsequent coatings,As a guide, the non-combustible substrates; cement, asbestos board and plaster have a
flamespread rating of zero.Drywall will contribute to a flame spread by a factor of approxi_materly 10. On a
substrate ihat bums readily, such as a wood surface,that has not been treeted to resist burning, standard coatings
do nothing to prevent the substrate from burning.Wood will contribute significantly to the flame spread of the
coating.Products that we have tested were tested in accordanoe with AS'l`M E94-91a.Products that have not beta
tooted are estimated flame spread ratings based on formula similarities to pmdcuts that were tested_

Dear Hedy:
Regarding the information you requested, attached please find Code Sections
1104.4 and 1104.5 which requires accessible routes within buildings that have
multiple levels, including mezzanines and other floors.
It is my understanding that this Section requires that the raised platform area be
accessible by occupants�of the Social Security Building.
As I stated to you, if the raised platform are a necessity to your operation, then
you should fax a copy of these Code Sections as well as a copy of the plans to
State Codes Division for an interpretation of these Code Sections to see if the
raised platform is, indeed, required to be accessible.
I would ask that you kindly copy me on any correspondence you send to Codes
Division, so I'm aware of the information being provided to them, if contacted
by State Codes Division.
If you require any additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Town of Quee sbury

exposed and concealed raceways (The contract documents do not indicate location,
number, size or condition of existing raceways). Existing raceways may be reused if the
I following conditions are met:
1. The existing raceway must be of adequate size for the new conductors to be
installed therein (NEC Chapter 9, Tables 1, 4, &5; Appendix C, Tables C1-
C12a). More circuits may be enclosed.by existing raceways than the circuiting
shown on the drawings provided conductor sizes are increased to compensate
for derating required by NEC Note 8 to Tables 310-16 through 310-19.

B. Thoroughly clean compressed air, control air, refrigerant pipe and similar systems prior to
pressure or vacuum testing.
3.2 PRESSURE TESTS -PIPING
A. Piping shall be tight under test and shall not show loss in pressure or visible leaks, during
test operations or after the minimum duration of time as specified. Remove i
p p e piping, which is
not tight under test; remake joints and repeat test until no leaks occur.
B. Water Systems:
1. Domestic water(potable cold, domestic hot) inside buildings:
a. Before fixtures,faucets,trim and accessories are connected,
perform hydrostatic test at 125 psig minimum for four(4) hours.
b. After fixtures,faucets,trim and accessories are connected, perform hydrostatic
retest at 75 psig for four(4) hours.
C. Gas Piping: Before concealment, perform air test of duration and pressure as required by
the local gas company. However, for gas piping designed for pressures of from four (4) _
inches to six (6) inches water column, air test at fifteen (15) inches Hg for one (1) hour,
without
t out drop in pressure. Test gas piping with air only. Check points for leaks with soap
suds.
D. Drainage, Vent, Piping (Inside Buildings): Perform tests before fixtures are installed. Test
by filling the entire system with water, and allowing too stand for three (3) hours, with no
noticeable loss of water. Test joints under a minimum head of ten (10)feet of water, except
the uppermost section. Test the uppermost section to overflowing.
3.3 `:DISINFECTION OF POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS
A. Disinfect potable water pipe and equipment installed in the Work of this Contract.
1. Completely fill the piping, including water storage equipment if installed, with a water
solution containing 50 mg/L available chlorine, and allow stand for twenty-four (24)
hours. Operate all valves during this period to assure their proper disinfection.
2. After the retention period, discharge the solution to an approved waste and flush the
system thoroughly with water until substantially all traces of chlorine are removed.
Drain and flush water storage equipment if installed.
B. Connect plumbing fixtures and equipment and place the system into service. Prevent
recontamination of the piping during this phase of the Work.
