9. No cutting and/or patching of Owner’s premises or installations, or those of any other Building tenant, shall be permitted without prior written consent from KOMO Plaza Management. The building is constructed using post-tensioned concrete floor slabs.

Request for permission to perform any of these operations shall include explicit details and description of work and shall not under any circumstances negatively impact the structural integrity of the Building components or systems. Consent from KOMO Plaza Management is not an assurance that the requested penetration or attachment (saw cut, core drill, etc.) is structurally sound or that the penetration will not affect other building components or systems. Contractor shall hire KOMO Plaza structural engineer to review each proposed structural revision and will require X-ray or equivalent examination of all post-tensioned concrete work at Contractor’s expense. If any work is to be done in another tenant’s space or in any public area, such work is to be done only with the explicit written permission of KOMO Plaza Management and at times as directed by KOMO Plaza Management.

Such separation shall include, but not be limited to, sealing supply and return air plenums and shaft openings from construction areas; removal and re-installation of smoke detectors; and dampened walk-off mat at all doorways to construction area. This is to prevent the spread of construction dust and fumes into supply or return air passages or circulated return air. In addition, these measures help prevent unplanned activation of the facility’s fire protection and life safety systems. No covering or “Capping” of smoke detectors will be allowed. All deactivation of the building fire protection systems must be restored nightly and all system(s) restored to normal operation, with the cooperation and knowledge of KOMO Plaza Management.
