~ 4-228 BUILDING STANDARDS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (Part 1, Title 24, C.C.R.) the estimated cost of every alternate building or portion thereof shown on the plans and specifications as if each alternate building and portion were to be constructed separately and simultaneously. When a contract amount, or the cumulative total of two or more contract amounts, exceeds the estimated cos[ by more than 30 percent, the estimated cost shall be revised. An additional fee based upon the revisions shall be paid before proceeding with the work. When the actual cost of constructing ail the work shown on the approved plans is less than 70 percent of the estimated cost, a refund may be claimed. (See Section 4-232 for actual cost.) Authority: Health & Safety Code Section 16022. Reference: Health & Safety Code Sections 16009 and !6011. 4-228. Procedure for Approva{ of Application and Voidance of Application. (a} General. After DSA/ORS has completed its review of the documents submitted with the application, the checked prints of the plans and specifications with the requests for corrections and/ or 2dditional information noted thereon shall be resumed to the responsible architect or registered engineer. When plans and/or specifications require extensive corrections, a corrected set of prints of the plans and specifications shall be submitted for rechecking if requested by DSA/ORS. When the requested corrections have been made and/or the additional information has been provided by the responsible architect or registered engineer, an employee representative of the architect or registered engineer shall return the check set of plans and specifications along with the original plan tracings, the cor- rected specification pages and speciftcation master cover street to DSA/ORS for backchecking. The backcheck is a comparison of the corrected plans and specifications with the check set of plans and specifications and shall be accomplished either by a confer- ence at the DSA/ORS office between the architect or registered engineer or his/her employee representative and the checking engineer or by mail in the case of minor corrections'to which all parties have agreed. Changes in plans and specifications, other than changes neces- sary for correction, made after submission for approval shall be brought to the attention of DSA/ORS in writing or by submission of revised plans identifying those changes clearly at the time of backchecicing. Failure to give such notice automatically voids any subsequent approval given to the plans and specifications. All requested corrections shall be made, additional requested information furnished or original designs justified and a list of materials to be tested and special inspections to be made shall be supplied to DSA/ORS at the time of backcheck. When DSA/ORS deems that the corrected plans and specifications comply with these regulations and alt parts of Title 24, CCR, that pertain to essential services building construction it shall place its stamp of identification on the reproducible sheets of drawings and master cover sheet of the specifications. This stamp is affixed for pur- poses of identification only and shall not be construed as authori- zation to let the construction contracts. The check prints of the plans and specifications, computations and other data filed with the application are the property of and shall be retained by the enforcement agency after the backcheck process is completed and until the project files are closed. One set of prints of the stamped plans and specifications shall be submitted to DSA/ORS. The submittal of the stamped prints of the plans and specifications is required before DSA/ORS will issue the written notice of approval of the application. (b) Approval of the Application. DSA/ORS shall issue eo the owner of the essential services building a letter approving the ap- plication for the project upon receipt of the stamped copies of the 22 approved plans and specifications. This letter shall constitute the approval of drawings and specifications as required by Section 16016 of the Health and Safety Code. No contract for construc- tion shall be let or approved by the owner of the essential services building and no monies shall be spent for construction work on an essential services building project until this approval in writing has been had and obtained. DSA/ORS will retain one set of the stamped plans and specifi- cations and other pertinent project information in its files as a per- manent record of the compliance of the approved project documents. (c} Voidance of the Application. Any change, erasure, alter- ation or modification of any plans or specificadons bearing the identification stamp of DSA/ORS automatically voids the ap- proval of the application. However, the "written approval of plans" may be extended upon approval of DSAIORS to include revised plans and specifications after documents are submitted for review and approval. (See Section 4-233 for revised plans and Section 4-215 for addenda and change orders.) The procedures leading to written approval of plans shall be carried to conclusion without suspension or unnecessary delay. The application shall be void where either (1) prints from cor- rected plans or corrected original plans are not filed for backcheck and backcheck completed within six months after the date of re- turn of the checked plans to the architect or registered engineer, or (2) prints of the stamped plans and one set of the stamped specifi- cations are not submitted for DSA/ORS files within two months after the date shown on the stamp of identification.

Where a portion of the construction cannot be adequately detailed on the approved plans because of variations in product design and manufacture, the approval of plans for such portion, when specifically accepted by the enforce- ment agency, may be deferred until the material suppliers aze selected provided the following conditions are met: (a) The plans clearly indicate that a deferred approval by the enforcement agency prior to the fabrication and installation is required for the indicated portions of the work. (b) The plans and specifications adequately describe the perfor- mance and loading criteria for such work. (c) The architect or registered engineer responsible for prepara- tion of plans and specifications for the project manually signs the plans and specifications for the deferred approval items. Such architect or registered engineer may prepaze his/her own plans or he/she may adopt or modify plans prepared by a manufacturer or anyone else provided that he/she reviews the plans and details.and accepts responsibility therefor. (d} Deferred approval shall not apply to the requirements of Section 210 (b), (c) and (d) with regard to the vertical and lateral load resisting. systems and elements of the building. The plans, details, specifications and computations for the structural por- tions of the building shall provide sufficient information to permit a complete review when the project is submitted.

If a request is made by the owner of an essential services building for cancellation of the ap- plication and return of the plans and specifications, together with the fee paid, it wilt be granted only when the check of plans and specifications has not actually started. If the checking of the plans and specifications has started, 30 percent of the paid fee will be refunded or applied to a new application for the same project. ig ~ ~
