California Code of Regulations › Title 21 - Public Works › Division 1 - Department of General Services › Chapter 1 - Division of the State Architect › Subchapter 2 - Access to Public Buildings by Physically Handicapped Persons › Article 1 - Compliance Procedures › Section 83.2 - Fees

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The filing fee for projects under applications received
						on or after September 1, 1984 shall be two-tenths of one percent (.2%) of the
						first $500,000.00 of the estimated project cost plus one-tenth of one percent
						(.1%) of the project cost greater than $500,000.00 up to and including
						$2,000,000.00 plus one-hundredth of one percent (.01%) of the excess of the
						estimated project cost over $2,000,000.00, except that the minimum fee in any
						case shall be $200.00.
Example of filing fee to accompany application:
Estimated project cost = $250,000.00
.002 x $250,000.00 =
$500.00
Estimated project cost = $1,500,000.00
.002 x $ 500,000.00 =
$1,000.00
.001 x $1,000,000.00 =
1,000.00
$2,000.00
Estimated project cost = $5,000,000.00
.002 x $ 500,000.00 =
$1,000.00
.001 x $1,500,000.00 =
1,500.00
.0001 x $3,000,000.00 =
300.00
$2,800.00
The fee schedule in effect at the time of filing shall
						apply throughout the duration of such application.
If the actual project cost exceeds the estimated cost by
						more than 5 percent, 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
						83.3 and billed according to
						Section 83.5.
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.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
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.

No additional fee is charged upon submission of revisions

						actually one transaction having to do with the same project and the revisions
						do not require substantial review for accessibility. If the original plans are
						abandoned and the plans and specifications submitted in lieu thereof are in

						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.
