The Fire Dept. Pumper pressures could not supply the Standpipe Demand per NFPA 14
thru the FDC. We the contractor is providing a Fire Pump in the building to supply and meet the sprinkler system and the standpipe system demand per NFPA 13 and NFPA 14. The AHJ is requiring us to provide an auxiliary supply in lieu of the FDC as a source because one of their 6 pumpers could not supply the standpipe demand. Can the AHJ force the owner/contractor to do this?
