POLICY STATEMENT

9212 PAYMENTS FOR PLAN REVIEW SERVICES

Access Compliance Review by DSA
As of July 1, 2006 CSU does not have any fee reduction agreement in effect with DSA.

The Division of the State Architect (DSA) has a formula driven access compliance review fee. DSA requires that access compliance fees be paid by check payable to DSA and accompany the submittal application. Project managers should review the CPDC and DSA web sites for the latest information in this regard.

DSA has the right to modify its fees or require additional fees for any project.

Seismic Peer Review
A formula driven seismic peer review fee shall be paid by the university to the seismic peer review firm when documents are initially submitted for review.

Code Compliance Review
A formula driven code compliance review fee shall be paid by the university to the code review firm when documents are initially submitted for review. Note: Occasionally a CSU project may occur where the required review work needed is not appropriate to the standard fee curves established for code plan and peer reviews. In such cases, when approved by CPDC, campuses may negotiate revised fees with the CSU approved plan and peer review entities. Examples may include particularly large projects and faculty/staff single family housing projects. Unless approved by CPDC the standard fee curve for services shall apply.

State Fire Marshal Review
Starting in 2004, State Fire Marshal services are being provided on a hourly rate basis. Invoicing for SFM services is coordinated through CPDC. CPDC filters and pays for all capital project-related SFM services. These payments are funded from the assessment that CPDC makes on capital projects. State Fire Marshal
charges not directly related to plan review or construction inspections of capital projects are consolidated by CPDC and invoiced to the campus for reimbursement. These charges include condition inspections of existing facilities, campus special events, i.e., fireworks displays, and services provided for certain campus foundation
funded tenant improvements for which CPDC does not collect fees.
