## 1990 K Street Senior Review

Follow-up to [[2026-03-20_13-44-59#2026-03-20 13:44:59]].

Comments by [[joel-jansen]]
relevant to my takeoff for [[1990-k-street]]:

### Lighting Control Assemblies

Relevant to [[lighting-controls-takeoff]]:

Lighting control assembly selection for the project was contentious
because PDS excluded the system due to lack of information,
but the drawings painted as exact a picture as one could ask for prior to construction.

In conversation with Joel,
we agreed that I would use the "FBO" assemblies
with the assumption that an LV system would be budgeted.

After direction I'm not clear on,
Joel switched these to the device labor and material assemblies.

### Feeder Schedule 5"C

Relevant to [[feeders-takeoff]]:

Feeder schedule calls for 5 inch conduit for certain tags
which PDI's schedule uses 4 inch for.
I did not respect this in the takeoff,
Joel intends to substitute.

After conversation with [[christian-pereiro]],
Joel substituted all EMT feeders for MC cable.
Christian stated that [[pdi-bid-estimating|they]]
would qualify the substitution in their next proposal
and raised that 5 inch EMT does not exist in our database anyway[^1].

[^1]: It doesn't exist at all.
