No work is to be performed on the proposed systems until plans are approved and a permit issued.
Plan review and inspection fees are paid directly to the independent consultant. Enid Fire Department plan review and inspection fees are waived.
Fire protection systems, whether required by adopted code or voluntary, non-required systems shall be installed in accordance with the most-current and appropriate referenced NFPA standard as follows:
Step 1
Send plans to an approved consultant. Submit construction plans and specifications to an approved, independent fire protection engineer or consultant for a preliminary review, technical opinion and report.
Step 2
The consultant reviews your plans. The consultant keeps a copy and forwards the remaining copies to the Fire Marshal with the technical opinion and report.
Step 3
The Fire Marshal approves and issues a permit. On final approval, the Fire Marshal returns copies to the contractor or owner with notes for corrections or additions and approval signatures, and issues a permit for construction and installation.
Step 4
The consultant inspects the work. Whenever possible, the consultant also conducts 50% progress inspections and final inspections to verify the installation matches the reviewed plans and standards.
