The DSA will process the documents. Written approval shall be obtained prior to award of a construction contract.
Authority: Government Code Section 4453.
5-103 Application
For each project to be reviewed and certified, a separate application (Form DSA-1) shall be submitted to the DSA. The application shall be accompanied by a complete set of project plans and specifications and an appropriate filing fee (see Section 5-104).
The above documents shall be submitted to one of the following regional offices:

5-104 Fees
The filing fee for projects under applications received on or after March 1, 2013, shall be five-tenths of one percent (0.5%) of the first $500,000.00 of the estimated project cost plus twenty-five one-hundredths of one percent (0.25%) of the project cost greater than $500,000.00 up to and including $2,000,000.00 plus one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the excess of the estimated project cost over $2,000,000.00, except that the minimum fee in any case shall be $500.00.
Example of filing fee to accompany application:
Estimated project cost = $250,000.00
.005 × $250,000.00 = $1,250.00
Estimated project cost = $1,500,000.00
.005 × $500,000.00 = $2,500.00
.0025 × $1,000,000.00 = 2,500.00
Estimated project cost = $5,000,000.00
.0025 × $1,500,000.00 = 3,750.00
.001 × $3,000,000.00 = 3,000.00
The fee schedule in effect at the time of filing shall apply throughout the duration of such application.
When the actual project cost exceeds the estimated cost a further fee for such projects shall become due and shall be equal to the difference between the filing fee paid and the amount computed under the schedule above using the actual cost of the project. The actual project cost shall be determined as directed in Section 5-105 and billed according to Section 5-107.
If the applicant requests the cancellation or withdrawal of the application and return of the plans and specifications and filing fee, this shall be granted unless the review has begun. No portion of the filing fee can be returned after the review has started.
Beginning in July 2009, with a review in 2011 and within every four years thereafter, the State Architect shall review the fee schedule and make a written determination whether the fees are sufficient to fund the programs.
If the State Architect determines that a lesser amount is sufficient to maintain the programs, the fees may be reduced for a period up to four years.
If the State Architect determines that a greater amount is necessary to maintain the programs utilizing these funds, the State Architect shall propose a fee schedule increase.
New section filed 8-30-84; effective upon filing pursuant to Government Code Section 11346.2(d) (Register 84, No. 35).

(OSA/AC EF 1/92) Emergency order by the Office of the State Architect/Access Compliance to amend Section 5-104 (a), Part 1, Title 24, California Code of Regulations; approved by the California Building Standards Commission on February 24, 1992; filed as an emergency order with the secretary of state February 25, 1992, and effective March 1, 1992, has lapsed. No action was taken by the OSA/AC to make these regulations permanent; therefore, the initial regulations are back in effect as of June 29, 1992.
5-105 Project Cost
For purposes of determining the fees, both the estimated and actual project cost shall be the cost for the total outlay contemplated for all work included in the certified plans and specifications. The term “project” shall be defined as all buildings and other structures, together with the development of the site, but in the event the plans and specifications submitted with the application do not provide for the construction of, addition or alteration to a building or structure, then it shall be for the site development proposed in the application.
The actual project cost shall include all items which are normally considered to be contractors operation costs. Addenda or change order items which increase the contract amount shall be included in the final actual project cost computation.
All fees and/or reimbursable charges paid the construction managers shall be included in the actual project cost. When the contract for the work includes items not otherwise subject to the approval of the office and not included in the approved plans and specifications the actual cost shall include this work unless such costs are segregated by separate bid items or by separately priced items of change orders, or by a certified copy of the subcontractor's bid. Such segregation shall not be made by contract price breakdown or estimates.
New section filed 8-30-84; effective upon filing pursuant to Government Code Section 11346.2 (d) (Register 84, No. 35).
5-106 Revision of Plans and Specifications
Revisions are changes to plans or specifications made after DSA approval. Revisions shall be submitted to and approved by DSA.
An hourly fee may be charged to the applicant for the review of revisions to approved plans and specifications.
If the original plans are abandoned and the plans and specifications submitted in lieu thereof are in fact for a new project rather than an identical project, or where a modified set of plans is for an essentially different concept, it is necessary that a new application be filed and a fee paid. This is regardless of the fact that the project may have the same name, be of the same general size, and be situated at the same location as the project for which the original application was made.
5-107 Billing for Further Fees
For public school projects the DSA shall determine whether or not further fees are due and shall bill the district for such further fees.
For projects other than public schools, the applicant or owner shall submit to the office a report verifying the actual project cost within 90 days after the completion of the project. This actual project cost shall be the basis for the further fee computation. The accuracy and timely submission of this actual project cost report shall be the responsibility of the owner or his designated agent. The owner shall be billed for further fees upon completion of the project or portion thereof if fee is due.
5-108 Refunds
Claims for refunds of five dollars or less due to errors in cost reporting or fee computation shall be made within one year from the date of payment.
5-109 Review of Plans and Specifications
The DSA will review the submitted documents to ensure that the requirements cited in Article 1 are fully met.
5-110 Written Approval
Approval obtained. Upon completion of review, DSA will return to the awarding authority a written approval, if the documents comply with the requirements. This approval of the application constitutes the “written approval” required by Section 4454 of the Government Code. No changes or revisions shall be made following written approval which affect access compliance items unless such changes or revisions are submitted to the DSA for approval.
Approval denied. If the documents fail to meet the requirements of these regulations, DSA will return to the awarding authority the plans with corrections noted thereon together with instructions for resubmittal of the plans and specifications. The corrected plans are the property of the Division of the State Architect and shall be returned within six months or the application will be void. No valid construction contract may be awarded before written approval is obtained.
Unauthorized deviations. In the event that there is an unauthorized deviation from the requirements of these regulations with respect to the standards specified, the same shall be rectified by full compliance therewith within ninety (90) days after discovery of such deviation.
Notification. Where the State Architect is the enforcement authority and any project is proposed to be approved and such approval action would deny accessibility either required by Sections 4450 and 4458, inclusive, of the Government Code to persons with disabilities, or by reason of an equivalent facilitation exception granted pursuant to Section 4451 of the Government Code, the State Architect shall notify affected persons with disabilities or organizations and others who have made written requests to be informed as to such proposals under consideration.
