Summary
The City of Santa Monica is committed to ensuring a safe experience for visitors to the
Santa Monica Pier (Pier). The Pier below deck fire sprinkler system, which protects the
wooden decking and substructure of the Pier from a significant fire, needs replacement
due to corrosion and deterioration of the sprinkler heads, piping, and pipe supports
caused by salt air and sun exposure. The Pier Below Deck Fire Sprinkler Replacement
Project – Phase 2 (Project) is the second of six planned phases to replace the existing
fire sprinkler system. Staff recommends awarding a contract to Jilk Heavy Construction,
Inc. in an amount not to exceed $2,086,140 (including a 20% contingency) to provide
construction services for the Project.

Discussion
The Pier is composed of combustible wood decking on top of a combination of both
combustible and noncombustible substructure elements. In 1996, a below deck fire
sprinkler system was installed to protect the wooden decking and substructure against
fire. In 2015, at the request of the Fire Department and Office of Pier Management, the
Public Works Department retained the fire protection engineering services of Cosentini
Associates, Inc. for a visual inspection and review of the existing Pier fire protection
system. The resulting report recommends replacing the existing Pier fire sprinkler
system (Attachment A).
The report identifies corrosion of the sprinkler heads, pipe supports, and riser piping due
to exposure to salt air and seawater. Corrosion could have detrimental effects on the
performance of the sprinkler heads, cause pipe supports to fail, and lead to leaks in the
riser piping. The report also identifies discoloration of the existing chlorinated polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) sprinkler piping due to prolonged exposure to the sun. The discoloration
could signify damaged piping at risk of failure during a fire event. The report calls for
replacement of the sprinkler heads, pipe supports, and sprinkler piping with corrosion-
resistant materials.
Project Phasing
The Project is the second of six planned phases to replace the existing Pier below deck
fire sprinkler system. The first phase was completed in March 2021. Phase 2 would be
completed in early 2024. Staff anticipates that the remaining four phases could be
completed by 2028, provided funding for the subsequent phases is approved. The
replacement is phased from east to west, with each phase covering approximately
50,000 square feet of the Pier. Staff anticipates that each phase moving west will
increase in cost, with Phases 4-6 requiring the largest investment because the work
occurs over the tidal zone. The total cost for all phases is estimated to be $15-20
million.

Best Bidder Justification
Staff recommends Jilk Heavy Construction, Inc., the lowest bidder, as the best bidder
when evaluating bid price, previous project experience, and completion of past
projects for the City of Santa Monica, including the Santa Monica Phase 4 Municipal
Pier Replacement Project and the Pier Deck and Emergency Work Annual
Maintenance Agreement. Due to the complexity of routing the fire sprinkler pipes
around existing utilities and other potential conflicting elements, the award of this
contract requires a 20% contingency. This would allow the construction team to
quickly address unforeseen conditions and changes that may arise in the field.
Public Outreach
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2023 and continue through early 2024.
Prior to and during construction, City staff and the contractor would distribute
notifications to Pier tenants and adjacent properties detailing the project scope,
construction schedule, and potential impacts. Periodic updates would be provided, as
necessary. Social media would be utilized to notify the public about general
construction updates.

Santa Monica Pier Fire Protection System Criteria Development and System Review
Dear Mr. Eren,
As requested, Cosentini Associates has prepared this letter report to document our review and analysis
of the existing sprinkler system installed at the Santa Monica Pier. The letter report documents both the
existing condition and potential options addressing current issues and system deficiencies.
Pier Background
The Santa Monica Pier is a large historic pier with an amusement park, restaurants, an aquarium, and
small shops. All areas of the pier have a combustible wood deck on top of a combination of both
combustible and noncombustible substructure construction.
The Newcombe Pier section in the southwest corner is made up of concrete piles and beams. The long
and narrow portion of the pier extending into the water consists of noncombustible substructure with
concrete piles and beams and is the only section not provided with an automatic sprinkler system to
protect the substructure and wood decking. The remaining sections of the pier are comprised of
combustible wooden piles. All areas of the pier deck have an underside consisting of narrow horizontal
channels created by wooden stringers.
At the request of the City of Santa Monica, a visual inspection and review of the system was performed
to identify any potential issues and recommend potential improvements of the system in order to
address the Santa Monica Fire Departments concerns regarding system functionality and protection of
the pier.

Applicable Codes
Phase I of the system was designed in 1993 in accordance with the following codes and standards:
· Santa Monica Municipal Code
· Uniform Building Code Standard 38-1, 1991 Edition
· NFPA 307, 1990 Edition
· NFPA 13, 1989 & 1991 Editions
Phase II of the system was designed 1996 in accordance with the following codes and standards:
· Santa Monica Municipal Code
· Uniform Building Code Standard 9-1, 1994 Edition
· NFPA 307, 1990 Edition
· NFPA 13, 1994 Edition
Sprinkler System Description
The sprinkler system was installed in order to protect the wooden decking and substructure in the event
of a significant fire capable compromising the structure. The overall system is split into 15 separate
zones and was designed and installed in two separate phases. Phase I is comprised of Zones 1-6 and 12,
while Phase II is comprised of Zones 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15. The sprinkler system design is in
accordance with the requirements of NFPA 307, which is the Standard for the Construction and Fire
Protection of Marine Terminals, Piers and Wharves. This standard provides comprehensive guidelines
and addresses the typical conditions encountered for piers and wharves.
Much of the system is partially protected from outside elements by wooden walls on all sides. Zones2,
3, 4, 6, 7, 11, and 12 are surrounded by walls on all sides. Zones 1 and 5 are mostly protected but are
partially exposed in the bike path running underneath the pier. Zones 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15 are
separated from the remainder of the sprinkler systems by a “wooden perimeter wall” and are exposed
to the open air and ocean. Refer to the figure below for a layout of all sprinkler systems.

In 2010, upgrades and repairs to the fire protection systems on the pier were performed, including the
installation of a dry standpipe system, the addition of sectionalizing valves, and the repair of existing
conditions found in the sprinkler system was documented in an assessment report completed in
September of 20072. A review of the fire protection invoice logs from the past five years (shown in
Appendix B) reveals that many other repairs to the system have been made since 2010.
An automatic fire suppression system was not specifically required for the underside of the pier per the
Uniform Building Code and is not required by the current California Building Code (CBC) or the Santa
Monica Municipal Code. However, due to the combustible construction of the pier, the typically high
occupant load, and the nature of hazards present in the area, the system is considered very important
for public safety and structural protection and is in line with recognized engineering practices. Sprinkler
Systems 13, 14, and 15 protect a non-combustible, concrete substructure of the pier. However, even
these systems are considered important because of the presence of wooden catwalks in the area, and
the combustible deck above the concrete pilings.
The sprinkler system is especially important given the history of the nearby pier at Pacific Ocean Park,
which caught fire multiple times after it was decommissioned3. These fires were mostly due to arson.
Based on our survey, arson and accidental fire are a concern given the homeless population living in and
under the pier structure.
Background
Cosentini understands through conversations with the City that the cost to maintain the sprinkler
system is a concern to the City of Santa Monica and has been considered in this report. The fire
protection invoice logs shown in Appendix B show that the repairs to the system have cost the city
approximately $50,000 in the past five years, which excludes costs for inspections and testing. This sum
would likely be significantly higher if inspections of the system were performed more often, as a more
recent survey of the system by Cosentini has identified additional outstanding issues.

Per conversations with the Civil Engineering Department of the City of Santa Monica and personnel from
the Santa Monica Fire Marshal’s office, multiple fires underneath the pier have been reported since the
automatic sprinkler system was installed, but none have grown large enough to activate the system.
The fact that these fires failed to activate the system should not be misconstrued to mean that the
system is in a condition such that it would not perform as designed during a fire scenario. Many of these
fires reportedly involved the disposing of lit cigarettes through the wooden beams of the pier, which
subsequently spread to combustibles beneath the pier. It is likely that these fires were not large enough
to activate the nearest sprinkler head, which are designed to spray upwards and protect the underside
of the pier and not to extinguish small fires in the decking or at the ground level. In addition, most of
the sprinkler heads are located 12 feet or more above the ground, the placement of these sprinklers
would require a significant fire for operation to occur.
Subsequent system inspections by the Santa Monica Fire Marshal’s Office has identified additional
concerns with the system, including discolored plastic piping that may be degrading due to exposure to
sun, recalled sprinkler heads, and widespread corrosion due to exposure to the elements.
System Specifications
Sprinkler Type, Locations and Spacing
As required by NFPA 307, pendent sprinklers are installed in the upright position so that water is
projected upward to wet the underside of the decking and control fires on the underside of the pier.
Per a review of the as-built drawings and field inspections, sprinklers are located 8 feet apart on
branchlines, with branchlines spaced 10 feet apart and 5 feet from the nearest walls. The maximum
coverage area per sprinkler is 80 ft². This spacing is in compliance with the most recent NFPA 307 and
NFPA 13 requirements. Sprinkler deflectors are located approximately 10 inches below the bottom of
the stringers in compliance with the NFPA standards. According to notes found in the as-built drawings,
all sprinklers are provided with a factory applied corrosion resistant coating designed for salt water and
weather exposure and have a temperature rating not exceeding 165°C.
All supply, feed main and cross main piping are supported by wrap-around U-hook style hangers.
According to as-built drawings, all hangers are provided with factory applied hot-dipped zinc coating to
prevent corrosion. Hangers are placed in locations so that they will be in the wetting pattern of the
sprinkler to prevent lag screws from failing during a fire.
Sprinkler System Design Criteria
Each sprinkler system zone was designed in accordance with the guidance found in the 1990 edition of
NFPA 307 as follows:
· Sprinkler discharge pressure of 12.5 psi
· Sprinkler ½ inch orifice
· Design density of 0.247 gpm/ft² over a design area of 5,000 ft²
The latest editions of NFPA 307 and NFPA 13 state that pier sprinkler systems should be designed based
upon the design criteria for Group A plastics. However, the reasoning for this criteria is due to the
5.C.a
Packet Pg. 165 Attachment: Pier Fire Protection Assessment Report (5286 : Award Construction Contract for Pier Fire Sprinkler Phase 2)
June 16, 2015
Page 5 of 16
“widely varying nature of commodities that pass through transit sheds, container freight stations,
transload facilities, and similar buildings used for handling and temporary storage of general cargo.”
Because the Santa Monica Pier is used for amusement purposes only, designing the system to Group A
plastic criteria is considered overly conservative. The current design criteria is in compliance with
Ordinary Hazard Group 2, which is considered appropriate because piers and wharves are classified as
Ordinary Hazard Group 2 in NFPA 13.
Water Supply
Water for the sprinkler systems is supplied from the city water mains from two different sources. One
main runs from the north along Palisades Beach Road, while the other runs from the east down Seaside
Tier. An underground water supply loop is provided such that a secondary water supply would be
available if any part of the piping network were to become damaged. It is understood that a saltwater
supply was capped at some point after the installation of the sprinkler system. However, this supply is
not considered necessary, as the current fire supply loop is adequate.
Standpipe System and Hydrant Locations
The original hydrants associated with the automatic sprinkler system are located throughout the pier,
both directly adjacent to the structure and directly on perimeter of the wooden deck and spaced 150
feet to 300 feet apart. These standpipes are connected to the domestic water supply. Eight additional
dry standpipe fire hose connections were installed in 2010, spaced approximately 270 feet apart and
placed between the original hydrants. A fire hose connection associated with this newer system is
located on the north side of the pier adjacent to the bike path.
Current Issues
Field surveys and reviews of as-built drawings were performed by Cosentini in order to document the
current state of the pier sprinkler system. The current conditions of the system were visually examined
and compared against the latest standards for pier sprinkler systems in order to determine the
adequacy of the system and its expected performance for an expected fire in the area. Note that the
California Building Code as adopted by the Santa Monica Municipal Code does not specifically require
compliance with NFPA 307. However, this standard has been used for comparison and guidance
because the sprinkler system was installed in accordance with the NFPA 307 requirements and because
the standard addresses many of the conditions present at the Santa Monica Pier.
Sprinkler Pipe
Per the General Notes and System Details of the as-built sprinkler system drawings, and confirmation
through field inspections, all cross mains and branch lines are CPVC plastic piping meeting UL Standard
1821 and listed for fire service use. Per visual inspection, Blaze Master CPVC sprinkler pipe has been
installed in all areas.
It is likely that this pipe material was used rather than steel because of corrosion concerns. NFPA 307
requires that listed corrosion-resistant types of pipe be used where corrosive conditions exist. However,
this pipe must also be able to withstand all other atmospheric damage and prolonged exposure to the
sun. Per installation and design manuals for the Blaze Master pipe installed throughout the system, it is
not listed for prolonged exposure to sunlight, and exposure can cause product damage1.

Packet Pg. 166 Attachment: Pier Fire Protection Assessment Report (5286 : Award Construction Contract for Pier Fire Sprinkler Phase 2)

Of upmost concern are the openings in the pier decking allow for direct exposure to sun and significant
degradation of the pipe. During field surveys, the exposure effects from sunlight exposure were most
pronounced on the west side of the pier, where piping was exposed to the elements. Much of the
piping had lost its original coloring, leading to concerns that it could possibly be damaged and eventually
result in failure which would prevent proper activation of the sprinkler system.
In addition to the concerns about sunlight exposure, the pipe is not listed for the hazard classification of
the pier and surrounding area. In addition to the combustible construction of the pier, field surveys
show significant amount of combustibles stored below that form a substantial fire hazard. Section 6.3.7
of the 2013 edition of NFPA 13 specifically prohibits the use of nonmetallic pipe in any areas besides
light hazard occupancies. Per Section 5.3.2, piers and wharves are considered Ordinary Hazard Group 2.
The combustible loading observed during survey is consistent with that expected for Ordinary Hazard
Group 2. The significant combustible loading and possibility of a fast growing fire leads to concern that
CPVC piping could quickly melt and render the system inoperable.
Pipe Support
Per visual inspection, most of the U-hook style pipe supports in the protected sprinkler system areas of
the pier east of the wooden perimeter wall appear to be in working condition. None of the pipe
supports examined in these areas require immediate replacement, but they should be examined
annually in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.1.1.2 of the 2014 edition of NFPA 25. These
inspections are especially important because the hangers are exposed to a harsh environment that
could lead to significant corrosion and the failure of hangers prior to or during a fire event.
All U-hook pipe supports located to the west of the wooden perimeter wall should be examined for
replacement. Per the requirements of NFPA 25, any hangers shown to be damaged, loose, or
unattached must be replaced. Many hangers accessible via the catwalks immediately adjacent to the
ocean are substantially corroded and some are broken completely in half. A complete replacement of
all hangers is not necessary. However, all hangers that appear corroded to the point where they may
become unattached or unable to support the sprinkler piping must be replaced. The sprinkler system in
the area adjacent to the water was installed in 1996, meaning that the lifespan of these hangers is in the
15-20 year range. Replacement hangers should be expected to last approximately this long, but annual
inspection and appropriate replacement of hangers is very important to ensure that the sprinkler piping
is properly supported.
Per Section 4.3.3.1 of NFPA 307, corrosion-resistant hangers or hangers with listed protective corrosion-
resistant coatings should be used. Per the As-built drawings, all hangers installed in the system were
provided with a factory applied hot-dipped zinc coating, which is in compliance with NFPA 13 and 307
requirements. These style hangers should continue to be used for all replacement
Sprinkler Condition
Per visual inspection, the sprinklers located to the east of the wooden perimeter wall appear to be in
working condition. However, many sprinklers to the west of the wall exposed to the open air and salt
water (Zones 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15) appear to show the effects of corrosion on the deflectors and
operating elements due to exposure to seawater. According to the guidance found in NFPA 25,
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, corrosion found on the
5.C.a
Packet Pg. 167 Attachment: Pier Fire Protection Assessment Report (5286 : Award Construction Contract for Pier Fire Sprinkler Phase 2)
June 16, 2015
Page 7 of 16
deflector of a sprinkler could affect the spray pattern of the sprinkler activation, and the effects of
corrosion on operating elements could have detrimental effects on the performance of the sprinkler.
According to the standard, light surface corrosion on the boss, frame arms, and/or the deflector, and/or
surface discoloration, not impacting the operation of the sprinkler should not warrant replacement.
However, significant buildup on any part of the sprinkler should result in the replacement of the
sprinkler in order to ensure proper activation and performance. Many sprinklers viewed in the field
meet the criteria for full replacement.
Recalled sprinkler heads are currently in use throughout the system. In July of 2001, the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of Central fire sprinklers with O-ring seals, citing
the discovery that the O-ring can degrade over time due to corrosion. Included in this recall are pendent
sprinklers manufactured between 1989-2000, stamped with the word “Central” and “GB4.” Per visual
inspection and the examination of system documents, these sprinklers are currently in use on the
system. Due to the highly corrosive environment, it is especially important to replace all recalled
sprinkler heads.
Current testing, NFPA 25
Due to the harsh environment the sprinkler system is exposed to, it is very important that the system is
subject to frequent inspections in accordance with applicable NFPA standards. Per conversations with
personnel from the Santa Monica Fire Marshal’s Office, inspections of the system occur every five years,
which is beyond the timeframe required by NFPA 25 as adopted by Title 19 of the California Health and
Safety Code. Refer to Appendix A of this report for a list of system components and the required
inspection and testing intervals for each.
The City of Santa Monica has provided fire protection invoice logs from the past five years, which are
provided in Appendix B of this report. A review of these records confirms that regular inspections of the
sprinkler system are not taking place, with quarterly inspections appearing to decline in mid-2012.
Quarterly inspection logs for the period ranging from 2013 to present appear to be for the sprinkler
systems above the pier in Building 250, the Carousel Building, and the Aquarium, with no corresponding
inspections for the system underneath the pier.
Detailed records are available for only some inspections, and it is difficult to determine which systems
were included for the available reports. Cosentini has reviewed the latest inspection and test report for
the system underneath the pier dated 11/7/2011, which gives the address of the pier but does not give
details about which sprinkler systems were examined. Because there are multiple systems both above
and below the pier, more details should be given in the report to ensure that all systems are examined
in accordance with NFPA 25. At a minimum, these details should include the specific systems inspected
and tested, the results of the test, and details about any impairments found.
It is also not clear from the provided report if testing of the system was properly performed. Per Section
5.3.1.1.2 of NFPA 25, where an automatic suppression system is exposed to outside weather,
representative sprinkler samples must be tested, or the sprinklers must be replaced every five years.
The pier sprinkler system covers a large area and is split into multiple sections exposed to different
conditions, a representative sample of sprinklers from each of the systems should be tested during this
time interval. Based on the current condition of many of the sprinklers located near the ocean, this
5.C.a
Packet Pg. 168 Attachment: Pier Fire Protection Assessment Report (5286 : Award Construction Contract for Pier Fire Sprinkler Phase 2)
June 16, 2015
Page 8 of 16
testing or replacement of sprinklers does not appear to have been performed recently, leading to a high
probability that many sprinklers would not activate as intended during a significant fire.
Depending on the extent of repair or replacement of piping or sprinklers in the system, NFPA 25
requires certain actions that must be taken to test the system. Per visual inspection of the current
condition of the sprinklers in the systems located adjacent to the ocean, more than 20 sprinklers may
require replacement, which would require a hydrostatic test of the system in accordance with NFPA 13.
A list of required actions as given by NFPA 25 can be found in Appendix A.
Inspection and testing of the standpipes and hose systems should also be in compliance with NFPA 25.
A review of the city and inspection testing records reveals that a comprehensive test of all related
hydrants was performed at an indeterminate date. More documentation of the testing performed
should be provided, and all testing and inspections should be performed within the timeframes
mandated by NFPA 25. Refer to Appendix A for a list of requirements.
Spare Sprinkler Storage
Per the requirements of NFPA 307, 12 spare sprinklers should be stored on site for use in replacement.
Per an inspection of the spare sprinkler storage area, only three spare heads are stored on site.
Connection to Fire Alarm System
System Drawing 4627 gives details of the sprinkler system tamper and waterflow switches and their
connection to the fire alarm panel located directly to the west of the Carousel Building. Per discussions
with personnel from the Santa Monica Fire Marshal’s Office, recent experience with the fire alarm panel
has led to confusion on the layout of the alarm zones. It is apparently difficult to determine the location
of the origin of alarms, which could adversely impact the fire department’s ability to quickly suppress a
potential fire before it spreads to the pier substructure. This confusion may be partly due to the fact
that Drawing 4627 uses a different numbering system for the sprinkler systems than the as-built
drawings. The Fire Alarm Drawing begins with System No. 1 at the east end of the pier and then
numbers the zones sequentially counterclockwise around the pier. The numbering system of the as-
built drawings is less orderly and does not match up with the alarm zones.
At the time that this report was written, a study by others was underway to determine the functionality
of the fire alarm system and its connection to the fire alarm systems on the underside of the pier.
Depending on the results of this study, the system should be updated so that the appropriate personnel
and fire authorities are alerted to an alarm as early as possible in order to ensure adequate time to
reach the fire location and prevent the fire from growing large enough to affect the structure. Troubles
and alarms should show the specific sprinkler system associated with the event so that the trouble
condition or fire location can be quickly located, and fire alarm zones should be renumbered so that
they match the sprinkler zones numbering system.
Riser Piping
Each individual sprinkler system zone is provided with a riser pipe fitted with control valves and pressure
gauges for both the supply and system side of the piping network. Field inspections of each of these
risers revealed that pressure is at or near zero for the system side gauges at risers 103, 104, and 106. It
is likely that there are leaks in the system resulting in the loss of pressure in the system. The systems
associated with these risers (Systems 5, 2, and 6, respectively) should be examined and tested to
5.C.a
Packet Pg. 169 Attachment: Pier Fire Protection Assessment Report (5286 : Award Construction Contract for Pier Fire Sprinkler Phase 2)
June 16, 2015
Page 9 of 16
identify the location of the leak or leaks. In addition, the supply side pressure gauge at riser 208 is near
zero, which should also be investigated. It would also be beneficial to install a low pressure switch to
activate an alarm when supply pressure is lost.
Each riser on the west side of the wood perimeter walls that supply Zones 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15 is
showing the signs of significant corrosion. The horizontal run between supply side riser 707 and system
side riser 407 has a significant leak that was spraying water when the system was inspected in late
February, 2015. Each of these risers appears in need of replacement.
Recommendations
After a thorough review of the conditions at the pier, it has been determined that the substructure
sprinkler systems are essential to protecting the pier structure and its occupants. The conditions
identified in the preceding section should be repaired as quickly as possible in order to ensure proper
functionality of the system.
Field inspections and a review of documentation of the system design and past testing and maintenance
of the system have shown that additional improvements are needed in order to ensure that the system
would activate as needed in the event of a significant fire. The following recommendations for
addressing these issues are presented in order to ensure the level of safety that the system was
intended to provide when it was installed:
1. Replace Sprinkler Piping
The CPVC pipe installed throughout the system is less susceptible to corrosion than steel pipe,
but it is not properly rated for its use in the pier systems. The pipe is not rated for exposure to
sun and should only be used in light hazard occupancies. The hazards presented by the pier lead
to concerns that the pipe would melt in a fast growing fire and quickly render the system
inoperable. Therefore, the piping should be replaced with a steel pipe similar to what is
currently used for the pipe risers, which is black steel pipe hot-dipped zinc-coated (galvanized)
meeting the ASTM A 795 standard.
According to representatives from Tyco Fire Protection Products, the cost to replace sprinkler
piping and heads for each system is expected to be as follows:
Materials: $37,000, including galvanized piping and corrosion resistant sprinkler heads
Labor Time: Approximately 2.3 hours per sprinkler head. Note that this is a conservative
estimate based on additional safety precautions needed to install a sprinkler system
underneath the pier. Each system has approximately 250 heads.
Labor Cost: Approximately $150 per hour x 575 hours = $86,250
Total Cost: $123,250
2. Replace Recalled Sprinkler Heads
As described above, all sprinkler heads stamped with “Central” and “GB” should be replaced due
to concerns with the corrosion of the O-ring of these sprinklers and the possibility that they will
not activate as intended during a fire.

3. Improve Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
A review of the latest inspection, testing, and maintenance reports provided by the City of Santa
Monica reveals that the current procedures do not meet the requirements of NFPA 25. All
portions of the sprinkler systems, the standpipe systems, and the fire alarm system should
follow the latest adopted NFPA 25 standard. Following these standards is especially important
due to the harsh environment that the system is exposed to, and the fact that multiple
sprinklers, piping, hangers, and risers were identified as requiring replacement or upgrades
during recent field inspections. Refer to Appendix A for the latest inspection, testing, and
maintenance requirements and the required actions for any deficiencies found in the system.
4. Remove Combustible Material
Field inspections of the area revealed that a large amount of combustible material is being
stored underneath the pier. This significantly increases the chance for a large fire that could
affect the pier. Much of the combustible material consists of plastic, paper, wood, and other
combustible materials left over from past maintenance projects. To the extent possible, this
material should be removed.
Per conversations with City of Santa Monica personnel, complete removal of the combustible
material underneath the pier is not possible, as there are no options for moving these materials
to another location. Therefore, Cosentini recommends that this material be consolidated to a
certain area or areas that could be separated from the rest of the pier structure with fire-
resistance rated construction. Areas of combustible storage should be separated from the
remainder of the pier by firestop construction described in Section 4.3.3.5 of NFPA 307, meeting
the following requirements:
· Constructed of reinforced concrete or similar materials, with a fire-resistance rating
of one hour.
· Transverse fire stops must fit tightly against the pier deck and around and structural
members or pipes that pass through the firestop so that an effective barrier to fire
and draft is maintained
5. Subdivision of Pier and Fire Department Planning
It is understood that the Santa Monica Fire Department plans to develop Pre-Fire Plans for
responding to a fire at the pier. These plans will involve subdividing the structure and isolating
any potential fire in order to limit damage to a specific portion of the pier. It is understood that
one technique that the Fire Department plans to use is “trenching” in order to create a gap in
combustible material between the fire location origin and the remaining structure.
It is recommended that the location of deck openings in the pier be analyzed and coordinated
with these Pre-Fire Plans so that revolving nozzles and other fire-fighting devices could be used
to assist in creating a barrier in the event of a fire. Deck openings are currently provided on the
pier, but many have not been properly maintained. Per conversations with pier maintenance
workers, deck openings in heavily trafficked areas and areas used for vehicle parking are difficult
to maintain. For this reason, many of the openings have been covered. Covering these
openings could significantly hamper the fire department’s ability to control a fire, because these
5.C.a
Packet Pg. 171 Attachment: Pier Fire Protection Assessment Report (5286 : Award Construction Contract for Pier Fire Sprinkler Phase 2)
June 16, 2015
Page 11 of 16
access openings are essential for using the standpipe connections currently installed around the
perimeter of the pier.
The location of deck openings should be coordinated the Santa Monica Fire Department Pre-Fire
Plans and the expected areas where “trenching” to remove combustible materials could occur.
Openings should also be evaluated for compliance with the latest NFPA 307 standard as follows:
· Provided at intervals not exceeding 25 feet on center*
· Openings must be over clear spaces to avoid interference by the substructure with
effective operation of extinguishing devices.
· The effective arrangement of openings must not exceed 100 in² and must not be less
than 9 in. in the smallest dimension, so as to pass the appliances for which they are
intended.
· Openings must be provided with covers that can be removed.
· Covers for openings must be constructed of, or insulated with, material that resists the
passage of heat and fire in a manner equivalent to that of the pier deck.
*Due to layout of structures and obstacles throughout the pier, it is recognized that providing
deck openings every 25 feet in all directions is impractical. Therefore, it is recommended that
the deck openings be provided at least every 150’ down the length of the pier (East-West),
which is in line with the recommended distance for subdividing a pier with tranverse fire stops
as found in the guidance of NFPA 307. At these 150’ intervals, deck openings should be
provided every 25’ horizontally along the pier (North-South) so that an effective barrier with
revolving nozzles can be created in the event of a fire. These 150’ interval locations should also
be located in areas where the Fire Department could use a “trenching” method in order to
provide a gap in combustible material.
Where maintenance of the openings is difficult due to heavy traffic, they should be protected to
prevent damage. Instruction should be provided to maintenance workers to prevent the
removal or covering of the openings, and periodic inspections should be performed to ensure
proper upkeep.
Exposed Sprinkler System Options
Inspection of the pier sprinkler systems revealed that the biggest issue with proper maintenance will
occur with the systems located west of the wooden perimeter wall as they are exposed to the ocean and
sun. It is recognized that there may be a large cost associated with keeping these systems in proper
working order, two options have been provided to address the issue. Either option could be
implemented along with all of the recommendations above.
Option 1 – Retain Current Sprinkler Systems
The first option involves leaving Zones 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15 as-is and updating inspection, testing, and
maintenance procedures. The current condition of the system has deteriorated to a point where its
proper activation is in doubt. Therefore, all deficiencies identified in this report must be repaired, and
strict adherence to the requirements of NFPA 25 must be followed.

Option 2 - Subdivision of Combustible Substructures
The current edition of NFPA 307 (2011) allows for alternatives to sprinkler system protection to existing
substructures when, in the opinion of the authority having jurisdiction, it is impractical to install and
maintain an automatic sprinkler system. Due to a variety of factors, it is of the opinion of Cosentini
Associates that sprinkler systems Zones 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15 may qualify as impractical to maintain.
The piping, pipe bracing, and sprinklers in these systems are exposed to a very harsh environment due
to their close proximity the seawater, and a lack of barrier between the seawater and the systems. After
visual inspections of the system and discussions with personnel from the Santa Monica Fire Marshal’s
Office, sprinklers, piping, and bracing designed for corrosive environments are not able to withstand this
environment for a significant amount of time, making maintenance costs prohibitive and preventing the
system from activating as designed during a potential fire event.
If it is decided to decommission the sprinkler system in these areas, protection should still be provided
for the remainder of the pier because the substructure is comprised of combustible wood construction.
In addition, the wooden catwalks are provided throughout the area within 4 feet of the ground, creating
the possibility for a relatively small fire on the ground to spread upward to the wood and spread further
to the pier decking. As an alternative to a sprinkler system in this area, other means of protection may
be provided, including methods allowed by NFPA 307 in lieu of automatic sprinkler protection.
In order to provide an equivalent level of protection to a sprinkler system, the subdivision of the
structure should be made by transverse fire walls or transverse fire stops as defined within NFPA 307.
The more robust tranverse fire walls must be constructed of reinforced concrete or other materials that
are equivalent in stability and fire resistance rating, and must have a fire resistance rating of at least four
hours. If these walls are used, they must extend from low water and the full width of the pier and must
be installed at intervals not exceeding 450 feet. A section of the entire pier deck over the fire wall must
also be constructed of fire-resistive construction to preserve the effectiveness of the wall, and the fire-
resistive section should extend for at least 10 feet on each side of the wall. It is of the opinion of
Cosentini that the construction of these structures is impractical for the given structure given that the
pier deck is crowded with existing structures that would prevent the construction of a fire-resistive
section on the pier deck.
Where in the opinion of the authority having jurisdiction, the construction of transverse fire walls is
impractical, transverse fire stops may be installed in lieu of fire walls. Transverse fire stops must meet
the following requirements:
· Must extend from the low water line and be installed every 150 feet.
· Constructed of reinforced concrete or similar materials, with a fire-resistance rating
of one hour.
· Transverse fire stops must fit tightly against the pier deck and around and structural
members or pipes that pass through the firestop so that an effective barrier to fire
and draft is maintained
Utilizing as-built drawings of the pier, a hypothetical transverse fire stop system in compliance with
NFPA 307 could be installed in the locations shown in the following figures.

The construction of these fire stops must be weighed against the cost of maintaining the sprinkler
systems in these areas. Building these firestop walls obviously presents difficult logistical challenges due
to the complex network of existing piping and wooden catwalks underneath the pier. All penetrations
would need to be sealed to retain a one hour fire rating. In addition, because the catwalks are essential
for maintenance to the pier, they would need to be divided into different sections between the firestop
walls, with new entrances needed to access the space between them.
Conclusion
An extensive review of the Santa Monica Pier fire sprinkler system documentation and field surveys of
the system have been performed. Based on our review, the system is essential to the safety of the pier
and its occupants. However, many existing conditions could prevent the system to activate as needed.
Improvements to the system recommended in this report should be made in order to ensure the proper
protection of the pier.
