Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
The fee schedule for new construction, reconstruction,
				  repairs or renovations is 1.5/10 of 1% of the cost to construct or reconstruct
				  the portion of the project that is subject to State Fire Marshal review.
The fee for review of a plan for new construction,
				  reconstruction, repairs or renovations of a public school may not exceed
				  $450.00 and is set forth in the following rule.
Due to limited storage space and to further local, state and
				  national security and safety interests, electronic submission is
				  encouraged.
Code of Maine Rules › 16 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY › 219 - OFFICE OF STATE FIRE MARSHAL › Chapter 1 - FEE SCHEDULES FOR PLANS EXAMINATION › Section 219-1-2 - SCHEDULE B: PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE FOR PLANS EXAMINATION OF FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
$ 25.00 for each dwelling unit of each NFPA 13D
				  system.
$ 100.00 for each fire pump installation, where the fire
				  pump is listed for fire service
$ 1.00 for each fire sprinkler head in new systems or
				  addition to existing systems
$ .50 for each relocated sprinkler head
$ 50.00 extra for preliminary permission to begin
				  installation before the full submittal can be received
$ 100.00 minimum for permits other than for NFPA 13D systems
				  and preliminary permission
Permits are not required for maintenance replacement of
				  heads, including recall programs, where there is no change to the pipe length,
				  pipe type, system type or occupancy / hazard. If a job involves more than this,
				  then the fee applies only to the other work. Plan reviews will not begin until
				  the appropriate fee is received.
RESUBMITTAL FEE
An additional fee of $ 50.00 will be charged for every
				  submittal that is required to follow-up with information that was incomplete
				  and/or inaccurate in the original submittal, either of which delays the
				  permitting process. (This may be due to critical information that is lacking or
				  in error on the blueprints/CAD drawings, hydraulic calculations, or application
				  form. This fee is not to be charged for missing "non-essential information" or
				  when there is a note explaining why the critical information is missing, and
				  when it will be supplied.) It is also to be paid when "as-built" drawings are
				  required upon job completion, or when a permit has been amended, because both
				  of these require additional processing. If a full submittal is required because
				  the original submittal is rejected, then another full permit fee will be
				  required instead of the $ 50.00 resubmittal fee.
Any commercial or industrial installation over $ 1,000,000.00
				  shall require review by a fire protection engineer at additional expense to the
				  fire sprinkler contractor.
ARCHIVE / STORAGE FEE
An additional fee of $ 50.00 will be charged for each
				  submittal after the fourth submission per license year (per contractor) that is
				  not submitted in electronic format. Fire sprinkler permit submittals are stored
				  for reference, and because of limited storage space, the electronic submission
				  is encouraged.
Drawings may be submitted as e-mail attachments in Auto CAD
				  as dwg files. Larger files can be zipped, or mailed on CD disc. Calc's may be
				  sent as pdf files, or as Hydratec files. The application form may be sent as an
				  e-mail attachment in Auto CAD as a dwg file, or it may be sent as a hardcopy
				  without this storage fee. The check may only be received through the
				  mail.

1993 Edition with 1998 Reference Notes
Rule for the Design & Installation of Hydro-Pro
					 Sprinkler Systems
Preface
The intent of this design guide is to define an alternative
					 sprinkler system installation, which offers an enhanced level of life-safety to
					 occupants evacuating a structure during the first minutes of a detected fire.
					 The system design is not primarily intended to adequately protect the structure
					 itself from fire loss or damage. A complete sprinkler system designed and
					 installed in accordance with NFPA #13 may offer superior protection to the
					 structure and contents.
Notice: An asterisk (*) following the number or
					 letter designating a subdivision indicates explanatory material on that
					 subdivision (if so included). Information on referenced publications can be
					 found in Chapter 7.
Footnotes such as this and other inserted text in
					 [brackets] are not part of the legal adoption of the sprinkler standard, but
					 are inserted in this edition to assist the reader in clarifying how this
					 standard is typically applied by State of Maine authorities who regulate the
					 fire sprinkler industry.
Questions about this standard may be addressed to
					 207-624-8736, or fax 207-624-8767, or e-mail "eric.j.ellis@maine.gov", or in
