Fire-Resistive Schedule Provide a listing or chart outlining the design of major building components and rated assemblies that correspond to the requirements listed in CBC Table 601. Each design element or assembly should have the intended specific item numbers from CBC Tables 720.1(1), 720.1(2), or 720.1(3) or State Fire Marshal-approved testing agency numbers, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Warnock Hersey, Omega Point Laboratories, or other nationally recognized testing laboratories. Deferred Submittals Often it is necessary to defer the submission of some aspects of the building design until after the approval of the main design documents. A deferred submittal refers to a portion of construction that cannot be fully detailed on the approved plan because of variations in product design and manufacture. Such items include (but are not limited to) low-voltage electrical systems, elevators and other transportation systems, base isolation systems, shoring and underpinning, curtain wall systems, fire sprinklers, and oxygen and medical gas systems. OSHPD has the discretionary authority to allow the design of such systems to be reviewed as a deferred submittal. OSHPD does not accept deferred submittals for trusses or stairways. All items being allowed by OSHPD to be submitted as deferred submittals should be listed on the project title sheet with numerical assignments for each system or construction component. An item that has all information available for design cannot be deferred. This engineering specialty specification should list the performance requirements that the contractor is required to meet in preparing the documents and define the requirements of the California-licensed engineer(s) who the contractor needs to employ to prepare the documents for OSHPD review and approval. For design of structural work, the contractor shall provide a California-licensed structural engineer. The specification should describe in detail the process for submittal of documents to the design team for review prior to their being submitted to OSHPD for their review and approval. This specification section should also include a statement that the contractor shall not start any construction work on deferred items prior to OSHPD approval of the contractor's design documents. Stamping and signing of deferred approval documents must comply with the same requirements as for construction documents, as noted in Section 7-115 (a) and (b) of the California Administrative Code. Other Information Provide other general compliance information as appropriate for the project including, but not limited to: (OSHPD Best Practices) Page 20 DRAFT FINAL, Sept. 2011
• Plumbing fixture counts for public, staff, and patients, in accordance with the California Plumbing Code requirements; • Project construction phasing of other work sequences that affect the project operations or impact code compliance; • Other work not included in the project and carried out under other permits if it affects the project; • Local zoning conditions of approval related to the project; • Parking counts, as needed for local acceptance and Title 24 accessibility; and • A chemical inventory on small projects, if other than new construction and remodel projects that alter the existing structural frame (formerly referred to as “H” projects) occupancy, to show compliance with number of control areas and maximum allowable quantities of hazardous materials as listed in CBC Tables 307.1(1) and 307.1(2) (see OSHPD PIN 8 for required information and suggested format). It is recommended that a tabulation or matrix be provided for projects resulting in a change in the number of patient bedrooms, isolation rooms, operating rooms, dietetic storage and refrigeration, general storage, and prenatal unit space. Such a tabulation or matrix should include the number of existing items as well as the proposed items. Include a matrix of bed count and type. Existing Special Conditions Projects that include additions and/or renovations of existing spaces within OSHPD-approved buildings present additional challenges to providing required documentation for approval of the project. To assist the reviewer in understanding how the new work does not conflict with required levels of safety provided by the existing facility, in many cases the drawings will need to fully describe adjacent uses and occupancies, existing construction, and prior approvals and documentation. Buildings or structures outside the scope of work, but proximate to the scope of work, should be identified by size, area, height, and building and construction type. Often this information is unavailable from old drawings but needs to be ascertained by field investigation and measurement. The title sheet can only outline the existing conditions, occupancies, and construction to inform the reviewer of information that is presented in more detail with the plans and other drawings. However, in the brief descriptions of existing facilities, use of the same code-matching terminology is particularly important, and, whenever possible, drawings from previous OSHPD-approved projects for the existing facility and related work should be listed and attached (and specifically called out as “reference only” drawings).
