CASHIER RECEIPT NUMBER: Och0000 ►2c(L( Forms \reqmodif 01/26/12 Guidelines for Approval of Alternate Materials, (Design and Methods of Construction Basis For Approval For the Building Official and Fire Marshal or their designated agent to approve a request for modification or a request for alternate material or method of construction, he/she must determine that special, individual reasons exist that make compliance with the strict letter of the Code impractical and that equivalency is provided. The resulting condition must be in conformance with the spirit and purpose of the Code provisions involved and that such modification does not lessen fire protection, structural integrity or occupant safety. The applicant must provide sufficient information with this application to allow the above evaluation to be made. Requirements for Submittals The applicant design professional shall prepare a Written Report that describes the alternate proposal along with the applicable data listed below: • State specific code provisions for which alternative is requested and why request is being submitted. • Describe by code section those provisions for which alternative is desired. • Compare the proposed alternative versus the code requirements in terms of structural strength, suitability, effectiveness, fire resistance, safety and health impacts affecting the building or user of the building. • Demonstrate that the proposed alternative is compatible with balance of code requirements. • When applicable, specify how authoritative consensus document(s) are used to substantiate proposal. (Reference draft ICC Building Performance Code Commentary Section 1.4.2.3 for background information). • Provide assumptions, references, and documentation of evaluation methods utilized. This includes intended use, input data, anticipated outputs, and limitations of computer models and other analytical tools or methods. • Specify when and where special inspection and testing are required and the standards of acceptance for demonstrating compliance. Show how the proposed alternate, if accepted, will be identified on the job site. • Where land use restrictions and building setbacks are required, deed restrictions may be an appropriate method to ensure continued compliance. • State how and where alternate proposal is incorporated within construction plans and prepare plan amendments as necessary. The design professionalhas the responsibility to coordinate all construction documents and ensure compatibility between documents. • The report and design documents shall be dated, signed and stamped by the design professional according to the plan submittal procedure. • For alternate methods of design requests, the applicant shall set performance criteria for his design. Performance criteria shall be reviewed, amended and approved by the Building Official prior to start of design. Alternative Design ReviewNerification The Building Official has the responsibility to review design submittals for compliance to the adopted codes and procedures. If the Building Official does not have the expertise on staff to make a thorough and competent review, the Building Official shall select a consultant that possesses the necessary qualifications to perform a third -party or peer review. Cost of peer review shall be paid by applicant to the Building Department prior to commencing the review. • Verify that all applicable information and justifications listed above as requirements for submittals is received and verify that evaluation and design methods used by designer are appropriate to the alternative proposed. • Verify products 'are being used in accordance with their listing conditions as required by recognized listing agencies. If not available, require documentation and/or testing to demonstrate compliance with intent of code and intended use. • Evaluate performance of material and possible flaws that could affect performance of material in its installed state. • The reviewer shall document that the submittal has been reviewed and accepted as meeting the alternative materials, design and methods of construction provisions of the code. If the Building Official is not satisfied that the applicant has met the conditions, the request should be denied in writing with the applicable reason(s). Inspection/Field Verification The alternate proposal as approved in the construction documents must be verified by inspection, and, where necessary, testing as follows: • To verify that alternate materials, systems and fabricated products comply with accepted design criteria and the manufacturer's and engineer's installation procedures, inspectors should check product labeling, certification, quality assurance processes, and testing, as applicable. • When appropriate, an approved third party quality assurance inspection and testing service may be required for continuous and complex inspection and testing activities. This is intended to verify that construction complies with the code and the approved plans. Information on Procedure for Appeal from a Determination or Action by the Building Official or Fire Marshal Appeal from the determination or action of the Building Official or Fire Marshal or their designated agent may be made to the Building Board of Appeals. To appeal, the applicant must provide special individual reasons that make compliance with the strict letter of the Code impractical. Appeals or ratifications pertaining. to State Disabled Access Standards require complete evidence to substantiate that the proposed design is equivalent to that prescribed by that standards or that due to legal or physical constraints, compliance with the standards or providing equivalencywould create an unreasonable hardship. Appeals must be submitted on the Appeal Form available at Permit Counter accompanied by the proper fee. You will be notified in writing of the appeal hearing's time and date. California Department of General Services - Division of the State Architect • Interpretation of Regulations Document DETECTABLE WARNINGS IR 11B-4 References- Revised 11-18-11 2001 California Building Code (CBC), Sections 1117A.4.5, 1127B.5 Item 8, Revised 11-01-07 1133B.8.3, and 1133B.8.5 Issued 01-26-05 2007/2010 CBC, Sections 1112A.9, 1121B.3.1 Item 8(a), 1127B.5 Item 7, See IR 11B-3 1133B.8.5 and Figure 11B-23A California Government Code, Sections 4451(d) & (f) Discipline: Access Compliance This Interpretation of Regulations (IR) is intended for use by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) staff, and as a resource for design professionals, to promote more uniform statewide criteria for plan review and construction inspection of projects within the jurisdiction of DSA. This IR indicates an acceptable method for achieving compliance with applicable codes and regulations, although other methods proposed by design professionals may be considered by DSA. This IR is reviewed on a regular basis and is subject to revision at any time. Please check the DSA web site for currently effective IRs. Only IRs listed in the document at http://www.dgs.ca.gov/dsa/Resources/IRManual.aspx at the time of plan submittal to DSA are considered applicable. Purpose: This interpretation clarifies acceptable alternative design and installation requirements for detectable warnings under Division of the State Architect (DSA) jurisdiction, which includes state funded buildings and facilities, State of California public elementary and secondary schools (grades K-12), community colleges, and universities. (In the 2010 California Building Code, item 1 below has been addressed by removing the requirement for a "staggered" pattern from Section 1121B.3.1 Item 8(a) and revising Figure 11B-23A consistently.) General: The California Building Code indicates technical criteria for detectable warning surfaces (truncated domes). The technical criteria include dome pattern, dome spacing and dimensional placement. The U.S. Access Board develops the minimum design standards for complying with the ADA, and has also developed and considered detailed research studies regarding pedestrians and the use of detectable warning surfaces. Under the Access Board, the Public Rights -of -Way Access Advisory Committee was established in 1999 to develop additional ADAAG provisions. The advisory committee reached agreement on recommended accessibility standards for new and altered public rights -of -way covered by the ADA. The standards proposed by the committee were presented in a report titled Building a True Community. The draft guidelines issued by the Access Board, consistent with the advisory committee's recommendations, include revised technical criteria for detectable warnings. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is a designated agency responsible for enforcing the standards and implementing regulations of the ADA Title II (State and Local Government Services). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under the USDOT, is the enforcement authority for overseeing pedestrian discrimination issues under the Title II implementing regulations. Both FHWA and the Access Board are encouraging the use of the new technical criteria for detectable warnings over the original ADA design standard. Acceptable Alternative Designs: The Division of the State Architect (DSA) recognizes the federal research effort and that the new technical criteria provide substantially equivalent or greater access and usability as modified and specifically indicated below. DSA (AC) IR 11 B-4 Detectable Warnings (rev 11-18-11) Page 1 of 2 DSA (AC) IR 116-4 Detectable Warnings (rev 11-18-11) Page 2 of 2 Regarding the dome pattern and dome spacing for detectable warnings, the DSA will accept, as an acceptable alternative design, detectable warning surfaces that comply with all of the following: 1. Pattern: Detectable warnings consisting of a surface with truncated domes that are aligned in a square grid (in -line) pattern. 2. Dome Spacing: Truncated domes aligned in a square grid (in -line) pattern shall have a center -to -center spacing of 1.67 inches (42.4 mm) to 2.35 inches (59.7 mm). In addition to the above criteria regarding detectable warning design, the DSA will accept, as an acceptable alternative design, dimensional placement of detectable warning surfaces at curb ramps that comply with the following criteria: 3. Dimensional Placement at Curb Ramps: The detectable warning surface shall extend 36 inches (914.4 mm) minimum in the direction of travel for the full width of the curb ramp. For curb ramps, also see IR 11B-2 and 11B-3.

Purpose: This interpretation clarifies acceptable design and installation requirements for curb ramps under Division of the State Architect (DSA) jurisdiction, which includes state - funded buildings and facilities, State of California public elementary and secondary schools (grades K-12), community colleges, and universities. (In the 2007 and 2010 CBC this issue has been addressed by removing the requirement for a beveled lip at curb ramps.) General: California Building Code (CBC) Section 1127B.5 Item 3 states: "Transitions from ramps to walks, gutters, or streets shall be flush and free of abrupt changes, except that curb ramps shall comply with Item 5...." CBC Section 1127B.5 Item 5 states: "The lower end of each curb ramp shall have a 1/2 inch (13 mm) lip beveled at 45 degrees as a detectable way -finding edge for persons with visual impairment." However, the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design Section 4.7.2 does not allow a beveled lip at the lower end of a curb ramp and states: "Transitions from ramps to walks, gutters, or streets shallbe flush and free of abrupt changes." Design Requirements: Per California Government Code 4451(d), until such building standards are published in the California Building Standards Code that meet or exceed the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, and specifically in this case the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design Section 4.7.2, the DSA will accept curb ramp designs which indicate that the lower end of each curb ramp is flush and free of abrupt changes, without a beveled lip. All such curb ramp designs shall incorporate a detectable warning surface (truncated domes) as indicated in other sections of the CBC, and Access Compliance IR 11B-3. Note: The October 12, 2006 Supplement to the 2001 CBC removed from Chapter 11A the requirement for a beveled lip at curb ramps.

(In the 2007 and 2010 CBC this issue has been addressed in Section 11276.5 Item 7). General: California Building Code Sections 11276.5 Item 8 and 1117A.4.7 state "a curb ramp shall have a detectable warning....when the ramp slope is less than 1 unit vertical to 15 units horizontal (6.70/0 slope)." However, the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design Section 4.7.7 indicates that curb ramps shall have a detectable warning surface without regard to the slope of the ramp. Design Requirements: Per California Government Code 4451(d), until such building standards are published in the California Building Standards Code that meet or exceed the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, and specifically in this case the. Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design Section 4.7.7, the DSA will accept curb ramp designs which indicate detectable warnings at curb ramps regardless of slope.
