Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Funding of eligible replacement costs shall be
							 provided only if it is more cost-effective to replace rather than repair a
							 structural component or building system that poses a health or safety threat to
							 pupils or staff while at school. For purposes of this section, it is more
							 cost-effective to replace a structural component or building system when the
							 estimated cost of an eligible repair is at least 75 percent of the cost of
							 replacement.
If the cost to repair the component or system is less
							 than 75 percent of the current replacement cost and the district elects to
							 replace the component or system, then Grant funding shall be equal to the
							 estimated cost of repair. Projects that use this option are not eligible for an
							 increase to the Grant at the time of Grant Adjustment pursuant to Section
							 1859.324.1.
If the request is for replacement components or
							 systems, a cost comparison must be prepared. The cost comparison shall consist
							 of a repair cost estimate and a Like-Kind Material/System replacement cost
							 estimate provided by qualified individual(s) or firm(s).
Replacement of a structural component or building
							 system shall be limited to the use of a Like-Kind Material/System except when
							 the work in the project proposes to use an alternative building material or
							 system which is requested by the LEA. The cost comparison must also include the
							 estimated cost of replacement using an alternative building material or system.
							 If replacement with an alternate material/system is more costly than
							 replacement with a Like-Kind Material/System, the LEA will receive funding for
							 the alternate material/system in an amount not to exceed the cost of
							 replacement with a Like-Kind Material/System. If it is determined that the only
							 possible replacement is with the alternate material/system, the LEA will
							 receive funding for the actual cost of replacement with the alternate
							 material/system.
If the request is for replacement components or
							 systems that included structural deficiencies, the cost comparison must also
							 include a report from a licensed design professional identifying the minimum
							 work necessary to obtain Division of the State Architect's
							 approval.
