The following e-mail from Austin Smith, our consulting Architect, confirms that we do not need approval from the State Fire Marshall for the proposed Pro Shop.  This is consistent with Chris Pirone's opinion, as indicated in an e-mail message I received from him several weeks ago.

I did confirm with the State Fire Marshall that they do not need to review the proshop.

It is a mercantile use on a single level and under 3,000 SF.  
It requires no state permit.

Hello all,
 
The results of my meeting with Portland Water District and CMP are as follows:
 
PWD......I completed a water service application. I misunderstood their standards. We need to change the water service that we show on the plans in the parking lot. The PUC does not allow 2 services from a single line on private property, even though it is the same customer. We need to show on the plans a tie-in (a pipe saddle with the Type "K" copper service) to the existing 6 inch line within the right of way. We can do this a few feet from edge of pavement of Riverside Street. From there we can run black poly pipe to the new building (about 70 feet). There is only 5 feet from edge of parking lot and the building foundation, I don't know if that poses a problem considering the utility duct bank is also running along that width. The existing 6 inch water line and valve in the parking lot services the irrigation system. That will remain a seperate water service account. Because of that, PWD will need an easement to operate the existing valve in the parking lot. Otherwise, we would have had to install a 6 inch gate valve within the right of way. That would have been costly. So...PWD will draft the easement for City approval.
 
On the positive side, we don't have to saw-cut and re-pave that section of the parking lot where we currently show the water service.  
 
CMP.........We can use the existing pole in the right of way. The existing hardware (risers, weatherheads, etc) on the CMP pole will have to be changed according to CMP's standards as well as telephone and cable standards. That will be our cost.  CMP might upgrade the overhead line to that pole at no cost to us. After construction they will also install a new guy wire at no cost (will not interfere with any landscaping or utilities) . 
 
Do our plans include the necessary information for the contractor to bid the project following the required CMP/communication standards all the way up the pole? If not we need to add that.

Concerning the question of new service for the pro shop, see the advice below from Tim Matthew of Swift Current Engineering. 

I would suggest that the owner pay CMP directly and avoid having to pay the contractor's mark up.

Austin –

Sorry it took so long to get back to you…

Now that you have a plan you can have the City request a “service request” or “work order” from CMP for the new service.  CMP will have to know the billing info to set up the new account.

They will the assign a CMP engineer who will be able to meet with them on site to determine how much the service will cost.  I think their estimates are only good for a certain amount of time but it would give them a ballpark for the exact cost.

Hope that helps,

Tim.

Tim:
We had a progress meeting this afternoon to review the Riverside Golf Course Pro Shop.
The project has be submitted for site plan permitting.
They anticipate putting the project out to bid in August for completion the 1st of April 2013.
One area we discussed today was the new CMP service.
As we have a new meter, Gene has applied for an account.
Will there be CMP fees associated with the new service?
How do we plans for these?
If we have the account number in place, could we shift the CMP to the general contractor?
Thanks for your advice.  Austin
