Action Item 2 – Capacity Building The Science Center of Pinellas County is the oldest science educational facility of its kind in the U.S. With an observatory and planetarium, it has provided hands-on learning opportunities for K-12 students for the last 60 years. In 2014, WorkNet Pinellas dba Science Center, a not-for profit organization, agreed to step in and help perpetuate the mission of the Science Center in Pinellas County. We accepted that challenge and have made many strides forward. To continue to thrive and meet the challenges and opportunities ahead, it is important to have a more focused strategic plan. WorkNet Pinellas, Inc. dba Science Center received an award of $14,250 to build capacity of the Science Center. The purpose is to support the Science Center in its goal to be a mission-driven organization working efficiently to address education and employment that helps individuals develop the skills necessary for future career success. The project includes four phases: DISCOVERY Gather pertinent information regarding current structure,

Fire Inspection Report
FL NFPA 01 13:
Chapter 13 Fire Protection Systems
Action Required: Fire Protection System – Currently meeting with the following companies to discuss the
provided quotes and confirm the required system for the Tyrone Center:
A Total Solutions, Inc.
Security Alarm System, Inc.
Commercial Fire and Communications
Action Required: Have Fire Protection contractor conduct required inspection and/or maintenance of
standpipe – Working with companies to determine a resolution and ensure proper handling of standpipe.
FL NFPA 101 13:
Chapter 15 Existing Educational Occupancies
Action Required: All rooms greater than 1000 ft2 shall have minimum of two exit access doors – Currently
working with Marie Brumer of St. Petersburg Fire and Rescue as rooms listed are less than 1,000 sq. feet
due to dead space. Reevaluation of what additional doors are being determined. The locking of Room 119
is not needed due to having two exit doors already existing in room and room size less than 1,000 sq. feet.
17
Fire Inspection Update
We met with the following companies to determine a resolution for the fire report.
Security Alarm System, Inc. – We met with Security Alarm Systems on Tuesday, November 14th at 8:30am. Stated that they did not feel we needed a new system, and did not understand the fire report that was provided. Stated that the Stand Pipe was not necessary and that the code 15.2.5.4 meant one or the other not both. The requirement to add additional doors is not needed, especially with the consideration of dead space. He is speaking with his boss to contact the chief regarding the report to get clarification.
A Total Solutions, Inc. – We met with A Total Solutions on Tuesday, November 14th at 2:30pm. A Total Solutions informed us that the stand pipe was not an issue and he could not locate the drain off. He believed the only item required we would need is smoke detectors, and a buzzer on the door leading into the marine room to remove the lock. He is revising the quote and contacting the fire inspector to clarify the door issue. (3 out of 6 are not over 1000sq ft.)
Commercial Fire and Communications – We met with CFC Systems on Wednesday, November 15th at 2:30pm. We were informed that the report was not sufficient, and that we currently have an existing system through CFC and meet all requirements. The only additional option we could do to improve our alarm is add smoke alarms to several small spaces and the return vents within the building. The standpipe entrance was found but is dry. They request that we contact their point of contact to inspect it. We also need to contact Johnson Controls to get a clarification on the wattage coming out of each AC Handler to determine if the return vents need a detector. We were given the advice to discuss further with the fire inspector on the reasoning for the findings.
