The city of Glenwood Springs may have spent about $235,000 too much for fire protection and ventilation systems in its new $4 million downtown parking garage at Ninth and Cooper, according to a local engineer and architect who have been researching the matter.
Barney Mulligan, a retired engineer who specialized in fire protection systems for more than 50 years including as senior engineer for the Denver Fire Department; and longtime local architect Dean Moffatt, say the sprinkler, ventilation and related alarm systems in the partially enclosed structure alone are overkill.
A stand-alone, 4-inch dry standpipe system that was also included as part of the construction in 2012-13, at an estimated cost of around $50,000, is way over the top according to applicable fire code requirements, they claim.
City Manager Jeff Hecksel said he is having Glenwood Springs Fire Department officials review the issue, which was already investigated earlier this year after Mulligan and Moffatt first raised their concerns.
Deputy Fire Marshal Ron Biggers said at the time that, based on the architectural designs and because more than half of the parking garages lower level is underground, it is considered an enclosed structure, and that the fire protections are necessary.
But, Mulligan said in an interview following his and Moffatts appearance before City Council last week, The standpipe in this parking structure is the most ridiculous of the four non-required systems.
The sole purpose of standpipes is to expedite the application of water to fires on the upper levels of mid- and high-rise buildings, said Mulligan, who said he worked on the design of several such structures in Denver and in Alaska during his career.
Standpipe systems allow firefighters to pump water from a fire engine or hydrant into the built-in piping system so that water can travel quickly to the upper reaches and remote parts of a building, he explained.
Mulligan cites National Fire Protection Association requirements calling for standpipe systems to be installed in structures exceeding 50 feet in height. The two-level parking garage rises to a maximum height of 17 feet, Mulligan noted.
The lowest height in any type of structure requiring a standpipe starts at 30 feet, he said. This street-level standpipe system will never be used and should be removed.

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas -
More than 200 students were turned away from the Sugar Cove Church of Christ School in Fort Bend County Tuesday morning because the building had no water. That's because overnight thieves stole a key component of the water system called a back flow preventer.
"We had to cancel school. Yeah, so we stood outside and had to send our parents away, and sent out email and phone calls to parents so they knew school was canceled," said school administrator Daniel McGraner.
The thieves took the back flow preventer from a car lot next door as well.
At a seniors apartment complex just down the street, the thieves left a back flow regulator attached to the main water system, but they took another one, a smaller one that regulated the sprinkler system in the apartments. Thatone was made out of brass.
The brass is likely what the thieves were after. The 40 to 50-lb. part is made of solid brass. It costs anywhere from $800 to $1,000 to buy, but thieves cut them up and sell them for scrap at about $1.50 a pound.
There are no suspects in the case yet, but a surveillance camera at a nearby Sam's Club recorded video of a two-toned pickup truck that was cruising the area at the same time the thefts happened.
Detectives would like to talk to whoever was behind the wheel.

A Columbia Fire Explorer puts out a room burn as part of Sunday's Fire Prevention Week kickoff event.
COLUMBIA -- Hundreds of onlookers were treated to a room burn Sunday as the Columbia Fire Department kicked off National Fire Prevention Week.
Firefighters set two room mockups ablaze, one equipped with a sprinkler system, to show how smoke detectors and sprinklers work. Fire marshal Brad Fraizer said Sunday's event was the first time the department has ever hosted a special event to start the week.
"Fire Prevention Week is a great opportunity for the fire department and the community to focus on fire safety, so we thought this would be a great opportunity to increase community awareness about fire safety," he said.
Columbia resident Neil Vaughn said he is considering getting a sprinkler system after watching Sunday's demonstration.
"Definitely saved everything in there, barring the water damage, but everything could be wiped off and restored versus burned to a crisp," he said.
Fraizer said the department was giving away 500 free smoke detectors as part of Sunday's event.
