Services

POTS
•Triage Review — verifies the submittal is complete enough for a meaningful review and determines the appropriate review process. • Preliminary Review — a review conducted at an earlier stage of plan development to ensure the design is heading in a code-compliant direction. • Expedite Review — reduced turnaround goals for projects that fall within targeted review hour estimates. • Over-the-counter Reviews — same day review with the client. • Incremental Review — allows “fast-track” construction of large, complex building projects whereby work begins on some increments of work while other work is still in the plan review process. • Deferred Approval Review - allows work that is typically done by a subcontractor or fabricator to be deferred until the subcontractor or fabricator has been selected. • Field Review — reviews conducted at the facility or other off-site location by FDD’s field compliance staff. • Alternate Method of Compliance Review — allows applicants to meet the intent of the code using new methods or technology. • Geotech/Geohazard Review — reviews in conjunction with CGS to determine applicable site specific seismic loads and risks to be used in hospital design. • Standard Review — process used most remodel and renovation projects. Applicants are bound to regulatory timeframes for resubmittal of plans to FDD. FDD has established turnaround goals for these kinds of reviews. • Annual Building Permit — allows SNFs and hospitals to obtain a permit for which projects may subsequently be associated with. • Contract Review - the structural review for large, complex new buildings may be contracted out to private engineering firms that can dedicate more staff to the review than FDD’s staffing would permit. This provides for shorter overall review duration for the project. • Pre-Approvals — allows manufacturer’s to obtain approvals for product installation on a one-time basis. Products may then be specified in future projects without requiring re-review. Leverages the plan review process. • Standard Details — pre-approved details for typical partition and ceiling construction which designers may use on projects without requiring re-review. • Pre-design Conference - provides a process for designers to resolve code application issues prior to beginning design. • Pre-design Review - statutorily mandated for projects $20 million and above. • Phased Plan Review — a process that involves FDD early in the design phase and has resulted in a 5 month average reduction in time from first final submittal to approval with a first building permit being issued within 6 months of final submittal. • Managed Projects — resubmittal timeframes and turnaround timeframes are negotiated with the applicant. These reviews are typically used for larger, more complex projects. • Rapid Review — these reviews have a reduced turnaround goal of 21 days. To qualify, projects must cost $175,000.00 or less, excluding fixed equipment costs. • Approved with Comments — allows a project to proceed with construction while minor issues are still be resolved by the applicant. • Critical Path Expedite Review — provides for a quick turnaround time for review of post approval documents that affect the critical path of a project under construction. • AB2632 Permit — plans do not need to be submitted for review for certain kinds of projects for single story SNF and hospital buildings. • SB 1838 Exempt Project — projects costing $50,000.00 or less, excluding fixed equipment costs, may be exempted from plan review.

POTS
• Materially Alter — FDD revised regulations to allow changes in construction work that do not materially alter the approved documents to proceed without requiring a plan review. • Field-directed Changes — established a policy that requires field staff to go through an internal resolution process if there is a disagreement between filed staff and plan review staff regarding the approved plans. • Technical Leader Program — instituted a program consisting of a technical leader for each discipline. The technical leader is responsible for technical training, QA/QC, and consistency of code interpretation/application. • Back Check Reduction Program — mandatory meetings with the designers and hospital owner representatives in back check exceed the average number. • Posted Reminder Checklists on Website - these provide a manner for designers to perform QA/QC based on the code requirements that FDD will be looking for in the documents. • CANs, PINs, FAQs — developed formal code interpretations (CANs), implementation of policy (PINs) and frequently asked questions (FAQs) to assist the designers. • HAZUS 2010 and NPC 2010 - adopted emergency regulations to allow the HAZUS program to continue and to provide for extensions and/or exemptions for non-structural work. Revised score for HAZUS reclassification of SPC-1 buildings to SPC-2. • Voluntary Seismic Improvements — adopted regulations that allow hospitals to mitigate only those structural deficiencies that contribute to the buildings collapse potential instead of requiring a complete structural retrofit of the building. • Modernize Codes and Regulations — instituted a policy to adopt national model codes to the greatest extent possible with amendments where required because of state law and geological and geographical conditions unique to California. • Quality of Service Survey — developed and placed a survey on FDD’s website to solicit feedback from clients regarding the quality of service they received. • CPR — developed and instituted an informal second opinion/ dispute resolution program for clients who disagree with FDD’s staff. • Ombudsman — instituted an ombudsman program that allows clients to discuss concerns and issues with a third party arbitrator. • Project Management for Large, Complex Projects — developed the project manager approach for large projects, similar to what typically occurs in the private sector. This provides a single point of contact and a resource for keeping projects on-track. • Internet-based Plan Review Status Tracking — this program allows clients access to their project status on an on-going basis. • Educational Seminars/Training for Stakeholders — training opportunities for designers, Inspector of Record, hospital owners, contractors, etc. regarding hospital design and construction requirements. • Ongoing Quarterly Meetings with Stakeholders — regularly scheduled meetings with the California Department of Public Health, California Hospital Association, major health care providers, such as Kaiser, CHW, etc. to discuss concerns and issues. • Installation of state-of-the-art video-conferencing capabilities between FDD’s two offices for improved communications, teamwork, cost savings and better serve to the public. • Worked with the Hospital Building Safety Board to establish ad-hoc committees to advise FDD regarding proposed regulation, code and process changes, etc. • Developed a process for pre-approval of special seismic certification of equipment used in hospitals. • Worked with the California Healthcare Foundation to develop a “Best Practices Manual” for hospital construction projects.

closed in eSP
• Successfully completed the Document Modernization Project by
converting all project files and plans in the document management

OSHPD clients to submit project
applications online
•Why implement ECA?
– Faster project intake and initiation
•Significant benefit to field review of PADs
– Provides the foundation for electronic
plan submission
