Typo Error. On CEBS schematic in lieu of 12.5 KVA, 10 KVA CEBS
was shown for 2 nos. However, Contractor looking at power SLD
drawings should have asked for clarification of discrepancy
during tender stage. Power SLD’s (Drawings EP-003 & EP-004)
call for 2 x 8 KW and 2 x 10 KW CEBS power rating.
Corresponding CEBS size in KVA was to be selected by
Contractor based upon his selected vendor. This requirement of
2 x 8 KW and 2 x 10 KW does not get changed but Contractor
may need to transfer 0.5KW from CEBS2 to CEBS3. No change to
equipment size therefore no variation due perceived
miscoordination.

We are not aware of variation orders issued adding additional
power load.
MA was aware that load > 8.4 MVA needed 2 incomers with
associated cost. Hence designer limited to < 8.4 MVA to limit
incomer to one. There is no requirement for 2 incomers in MA
design.

SAK & MA Response. Jan. 15, 2020
Automatic Fire Detection by means of Heat Detectors is not
required in the car parking as this area is defined as ‘open car
parking structure’. This rule also applies to sprinkler systems and
the same has been conveyed to IKEA Team during design review
meetings. However, the team has agreed mutually to have the
sprinkler system as additional safety measures. Further, any area
that requires ‘heat detection’ can be exempted from such
requirement if the same area is provided with sprinkler system
(sprinklers can function like heat detectors when actuated by
triggering alarm through water flow switches). Hence, automatic
heat detection system can be omitted from car parking area,
keeping only manual call points to be used by occupants and visitor
to activate notification devices in case of fire emergencies.
