December 2016 Company Newsletter: No Fly Zone!

Mon, 05 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

No Fly Zone!

There was a time when getting in early and running services tight to the deck before

other trades started work was admissible and acceptable. Today with BIM, 3-D modeling and other advancements in planning and coordination, there continues to be an ongoing issue surfacing on new projects and in existing facilities alike: Penetrations running through construction joints .

In this issue, we discuss this specific practice – the routing of services through construction joints (head of wall, slab edge, expansion joints…) and why this practice should be avoided.

Specifically, we address:

the impact of penetrations at construction joints
what is a ‘ No Fly Zone’
how to establish a ‘No Fly Zone’

I hope you enjoy this topic.

September 2012 Company Newsletter: Chicago Life Safety Evaluation Program

Tue, 29 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT

In this issue of our newsletter we will explore the City of Chicago’s “High-Rise Building Life Safety Evaluation (LSE) Program”. We will look at how the LSE affects building owners, occupants and contractors. According to the Department of Buildings, there are over 600 residential buildings within the City of Chicago that are subject to this program. Many of these buildings were unaware of the mandated Life Safety standards required within their space, that is until recently. In January of 2012, the City of Chicago notified all buildings owners and/or property managers that were required to submit a LSE report, that they were to provide the city with an update showing progress they have made to ensure their compliance with the Life Safety aspects of the code. Following we take a deeper looking into 1) what is addressed in the LSE Program, and 2) how this affects Building Owners, Property Managers, Occupants and General Contractors alike.

February 2012 Company Newsletter: Systems Carry Ratings!

Tue, 29 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT

In this issue we focus on UL Tested System Designs for through penetrations and the process of choosing the proper design for the conditions you encounter. For the purpose of this newsletter, we will refer to these designs as UL Tested System Designs or UL Classified Systems as Underwriters Laboratory is the most recognized testing agency. We recognize that there are other testing agencies; but we always recommend checking the project specifications, contract documents or with the appropriate AHJ to ensure that the applicable agency’s testing parameters are followed.

When firestop is mentioned many people envision red-caulk. True, firestop can be red, but it can also be blue, yellow, grey…and sometimes it isn’t even caulk at all. This issues’s most important point is THE SYSTEM CARRIES THE RATING, NOT THE PRODUCT!

September 2013 Company Newsletter: The W-Rating

Tue, 29 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Many have heard of it, some have implemented it on projects; but is there truly a clear understanding of the W-Rating as it applies to through-penetration firestopping? In this installment of our Newsletter we will explore the W-Rating and address the following:
1) What is W-Rating ?
2) Why do we use it/why is it Specified?
3) How do we achieve this rating at metallic and insulated metallic pipe penetrations?

The following IFC & UL Firestop Video will show the importance of proper firestop installation

City of Chicago announces Diversity Credit Program

MAYOR EMANUEL LAUNCHES TWO NEW PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE GROWTH IN SMALL, WOMEN-OWNED AND MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESSES

Programs will engage the private sector and create more opportunities for businesses without any additional cost to taxpayers. Mayor Rahm Emanuel today announced two innovative new programs which will save taxpayers money and increase the amount of contracting with small, minority- and women owned businesses.

“I am committed to finding every way to maximize the value of taxpayer dollars, to encourage growth and development of business in Chicago,” said Mayor Emanuel. “These programs will leverage taxpayer resources to get a better deal for the City and promote growth in our small, minority- and women-owned businesses.”

The first program, called the Small Business Initiative, is designed specifically to encourage small businesses to have an opportunity to participate in City-funded construction projects. The program, which will be race and gender neutral, will be exclusive to small businesses and will be limited to construction projects that are under $3 million in total cost. This will provide a level playing field for small businesses to compete in the construction space, a key area in which larger companies are at an inherent advantage.

The second program, known as the Diversity Credit Program, is designed to increase the use of minority and women-owned businesses on contracts issued in the private sector. This will be accomplished by providing Supplier Diversity participation credit on City contracts for contracts that are awarded in the private sector. For every $3 of private sector contracts, $1 in credit will be issued to the contractor, which can then be used to provide up to 5 percent of a subsequent city contract. This encourages some of Chicago’s largest construction contractors to work with minority- and women-owned businesses – not only in the public sector, but in the private sector as well.

Under current City of Chicago guidelines, every $100 million that is contracted with outside firms leads to $28 million in contracts for minority- and women-owned firms. Under this new program, the total contract value to minority- and women-owned firms could be $38 million. This amounts to an approximate 36 percent increase over what the City can do on its own, significantly increasing business for minority- and women-owned firms at no cost to taxpayers.

Jamie Rhee, the Chief Procurement Officer for the city, said these deals are essential to spur growth in these key areas. “It’s not enough that we’re committed in City government to supporting our small businesses and women- and minority-owned businesses,” said Jamie Rhee, Chief Procurement Officer for the City of Chicago. “We must involve the private sector, the nonprofit community, and the whole City of Chicago. Everyone’s support and involvement is crucial to our success.” The Mayor was joined by John Rogers, who chairs an informal working group that meets regularly to advise the Mayor on strategies to expand M/WBE and small business initiatives.

The new programs will take effect immediately.
