				compliance with these Standards.
002.02 The Board and the Jail Standards
				Division retain the right to evaluate each new construction or renovation on an
				individual basis. The overall design and specifics will be worked out between
				the Jail Standards Division, local governing body, and the architect, subject
				to final approval by the Board.
002.03 Equivalencies
The specific requirements of this Chapter may be modified by
				  the Jail standards Board on an individual basis to allow alternative
				  arrangements that would, in the Board's judgement, provide at least equivalent
				  conditions in design and construction as would be afforded by compliance with
				  the corresponding Standards contained in this Chapter.
002.03A When the modification of a Standard
				is desired for a specific project, the responsible governing body shall submit
				a written request to the Board stating the justification for the requested
				modification and documentation of how the proposed modification will provide
				conditions at least equivalent to the corresponding Standard.
