The North Bay Business Journal featured an article in the June 7th edition titled “Kaiser Tower hits milestone toward October opening”. The project recently met a major milestone, receiving a certificate of occupancy from OSHPD which moves it ever closer to the October 10th grand opening. Jason Brabo was interviewed for this article and describes several of the features of the new facility that will improve patient care and staff efficiencies. As one of the largest construction projects in the North Bay, the Kaiser Hospital Expansion will provide much needed patient facilities to the community.
DSA Deferred Approval for AFSS to Be Eliminated
March 26, 2010
DSA has instituted Policy 10-01 which states that DSA will no longer accept projects with automatic sprinkler systems (AFSS) as a deferred approval. Beginning July 1, 2010, projects must be submitted with a complete AFSS plans, hydraulic calculations, product data sheets and seismic bracing design. Projetcs that do not have complete documentation will be rejected as an incomplete submittal. Refer to DSA publication “Plan Submittal Guidelines: Automatic Fire Sprinkler System (AFSS)” for specific design and submittal requirements.
