A NEW TOOL/METHOD FOR ADDRESSING UNCERTIFIED PROJECTS
• “Project Certification Guide” issued 10/22/08
• “Alternate Certification Guide for Legacy Projects” issued 11/1/12
• Both superseded and replaced by new comprehensive “Project Certification Guide – Revised Edition” issued 01/17/13
• Revised Edition is available on DSA website, Quick Links.
• Legacy Projects – previously closed without DSA Certification.
• Guide includes alternate processes for projects missing documents due to the incapacitating illness, death, or the default of any persons required to file them.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY FOR THE USE OF ALTERNATE PROCESSES: Education Code, Sections 17315(b)/81147(b).“When …final verified reports …have not been submitted …due to the incapacitating illness, death, or the default of any persons required to file such reports, the Department of General Services shall, upon written request of the school district, review all of the project records and make such examinations as it deems necessary to enable it to certify that the school building otherwise complies with the requirements of this article …”

2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 5
ALTERNATE PROCESSES: Intent1. Intended to be used for projects closed without certification
because …
• Final Verified Reports not submitted.
• Other required documents not submitted.
• Fees owed to DSA have not been paid.

ALTERNATE PROCESSES (cont.): UseUse of alternate processes requires expert knowledge of :
• Structural engineering
• Fire & life safety
• Access compliance practices and requirements
• California school construction
• Title 24 codes
• DSA processes, policies, and procedures
• Each individual project, through detailed review of all available documents.
![Page 7: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 7
ALTERNATE PROCESSES (cont.):LimitationsInternal use by DSA, subject to following conditions:
• Records must be individually examined by DSA staff.
• Applicability must be documented to the file and approved by a DSA Structural Engineer or Architect.
• District must make written request to DSA (see form DSA-311).
• District must provide written justification indicating why the Final Verified Reports have not been submitted (see form DSA-311).
![Page 8: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

ALTERNATE PROCESSESCertification Guide describes four Alternate Process types (A, B, C, and D):
• Alternate Processes A and B – may be used for any project type.
• Alternate Process C – limited to one story relocatable buildings.
• Alternate Process D – for projects not likely to be certified using this guide.
![Page 10: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ALTERNATE PROCESS
TYPE A
![Page 11: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 11
ALTERNATE PROCESS TYPE A:Verified Reports• Requires a Verified Report (form DSA-6, or equivalent) from
the Project Inspector.
• This report may be adequate for project certification.
• May be considered an acceptable alternate to other missing verified reports or documents from:
Architects Structural Engineers Electrical Engineers Mechanical Engineers Geotechnical Engineers Special Inspectors
In-Plant Inspectors Welding Inspectors Testing Laboratories Contractors
![Page 12: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ALTERNATE PROCESS TYPE A: Verified Reports (cont.)Determining adequate Verified Report documentation.DSA staff must review available records/files and verify:• No evidence indicating the inspector did not provide adequate
inspections.• That a Verified Report from the Project Inspector was made. • Verified Report shows project at least 95% complete. • Contains no unresolved Structural, Access, or Fire & Life Safety
issues.• DSA field trip notes do not contain any unresolved Structural,
Access, or Fire & Life Safety issues.• No indication of Structural, Access, or Fire & Life Safety
deficiencies or unconstructed scope necessary for code compliance.
![Page 13: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 13
ALTERNATE PROCESS TYPE A: FeesFees owed to DSA must be paid prior to project certification.
• If the fees owed are known to DSA closing staff then an invoice can be generated.
• If fees owed to the DSA are not known then the district must complete the form DSA-168 “Statement of Actual Final Project Cost” and staff will use that information to generate an invoice.
• If DSA staff determines that no fees are owed, then no invoice is generated.
![Page 14: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 14
ALTERNATE PROCESS TYPE A:Construction Plans & SpecificationsAlternate Process Type A requires the project construction documents to be approved or otherwise resolved.
Guide has in-depth discussion on possible resolutions of certification issues (Chapter 5, Section III). Issues to resolve:
• Change Orders
• Addenda
• Revisions
• Deferred Approvals
• Incomplete construction scope
• Construction deficiencies
![Page 15: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 15
ALTERNATE PROCESS TYPE A: Change OrdersMissing and/or unapproved must be resolved on a case by case basis.
May result in a change to the cost of construction. See “Fees”
There are two types of change orders:
• Change Orders affecting Structural Safety, Fire & Life Safety or Access Compliance systems or components.
• Change orders NOT affecting Structural Safety, Fire & Life Safety or Access Compliance systems or components.

ALTERNATE PROCESS
TYPE C
![Page 30: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 30
ALTERNATE PROCESS TYPE C:
Applicable to one story re-locatable buildings:
• not more than 2,160 square feet
• constructed in a manufacturer’s plant
• construction of the building superstructure only
• NOT placement of the building on a site
For placement of the building on the site, Alternate Processes Type A, B or D should be used.
![Page 31: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2/27/2013 DSA - PROJECT CERTIFICATION 31
ALTERNATE PROCESS TYPE C:Alternate Process Type C (building superstructure only) is the same as Alternate Process Type A, with the following clarifications and changes
• Building must have been constructed from a fully valid and approved DSA application number.
• For the building itself, the in-plant inspector or the welding inspector is considered to be the Project Inspector. A Verified Report by either will be accepted as a Verified Report from the “Project Inspector.”
![Page 32: CHANGING CULTURE AND CHANGING PROCESSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815c2e550346895dca0f46/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
