This occurred in the adaptation of the space handed over to Avianca.

Regarding Air Conditioning, OPAIN will provide the water condensation system located in the same level, so they will be able to connect to it. However, taking into account the request of the tenant, there is a second option (connect to the cold water supply that could be extended from the AV Back Office on level 8.70 all the way to level 13.70) which, if technically feasible prior presentation, the expenses shall be covered in its totality by the TENANT. We insist: project subject to technical validation.

Avianca will present the proposal for air renovation; once received it will be handed to the designer to assess its technical feasibility.

Moreover, we request again that the definitive project is presented to OPAIN, which was requested following the approval with observations provided by the grantee, since as of today it haven’t been received.

ANNEX 2

CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR LEVEL 8.70 AND 13.70 OF AVIANCA’S BACK OFFICE

DETECTION:

 

  1. All existing detectors delivered by OPAIN will be left enabled.

 

  2. Provisional portable detectors will be installed en the areas lacking of these devices, in order to guarantee a timely warning sign in case of threat of fire. These devices work independently and have their own alarm, but they are not connected to the main detection system and therefore it is necessary that the areas be occupied in order to effectively warn about the threat.

 

  3. Emergency staff will be permanently held in the area in order to guarantee compliance with the safety protocols in case a threat should arise.

EXTINCTION

 

  1. To this date, Avianca haven’t performed any modification to this system or any of its elements and devices, which were delivered by OPAIN.

 

  2. Additional clean agent extinguishers will be installed to those already delivered in the premises, accepted in the Emergency and Evacuation plan approved by OPAIN. Based on the grounds of regulation NFPA72, those areas were the sprinklers don’t comply with provisions of regulation NFPA72 and/or were there aren’t located, will be reinforced, making sure that they cover 100% of the areas inhabited by the employees, providing full safety.

 

  3. Emergency staff will be permanently held in the area in order to guarantee compliance with the safety protocols in case a threat should arise.

AREAS UNFIT TO BE OCCUPIED

Taking into account that the priority is guarantee the safety of our staff, the contingency plan disabled some areas where we consider we can provide full safety; these areas are specified in the attached plans.
