Explanatory notes:
The VRFA bases its building review on a percentage of the associated jurisdictional fee.
Thus, fees may differ between jurisdictions. However, a percentage basis fee eliminates
the need to adjust the VRFA fee schedule for every jurisdictional permitting change. In
addition, the fee structure differences between jurisdictions are minimal, and therefore,
VRFA fees will be materially similar notwithstanding the jurisdiction through which a
building permit is obtained.
EXHIBIT "A"
2. The reduction of the percentage base for single family occupancies is based on the
minimal review time required to determine if a residential occupancy requires compliance
with jurisdictional fire codes. The fee will only apply to residential occupancies that
require automatic fire protection-it does not apply to all residential reviews.
3. The hourly rate is based upon the IBC Table 1A hourly structure. This has been codified
within all VRFA cities.
4. This fee is codified within the Auburn City Code, and was increased by $50 to reflect
inflationary cost adjustments since its original adoption.
5. Fire protection within a spray booth can either be water based from an existing sprinkler
system, or from an alternative fire protection system noted in "Other Fire Protection
Systems".
6. Initial inspections are included in the permit review fee.
7. Increased fees are intended to reduce the number of inspections due to non-compliance
or failure to correct previously noted deficiencies.
8. These fees are in accordance with City of Auburn Resolution # 4143.
9. Preventable nuisance and malfunction false alarms exist to reduce unwarranted calls that
remove emergency apparatus from service. Though there is no penalty for 1St and 2"d
violations, it provides the opportunity for the VRFA to educate owners about any
mechanical problems within a system that may not be the fault of occupancy tenants. It
further grants the opportunity for repair technicians to correct any deficiencies that may
exist. Subsequent false alarms incur a penalty in an attempt to encourage needed
repairs of the associated systems. The fees are an average of the false alarm fees in the
City of Auburn Resolution # 4143, and the City of Pacific Resolution # 3773, as amended
by resolution # 3797, Resolution # 3818, and Resolution # 3953.
10.The Rapid Access Key Box System is currently utilized in all VRFA cities. The purpose
of this system is to allow for rapid entry into premises with fire protection systems. The
system incorporates the use of key boxes, key padlocks and electronic gate key
switches. A master key designated only for VRFA use is placed within all emergency
apparatus and is utilized to operate such devices.
11. This fee is in accordance with RCW 43.56.120
12.Associated charges for CPR training are established to recover costs by VRFA
personnel. This is not a revenue generated program, but is designed to offset the
associated costs of the VRFA in providing the service.
