WHAT MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR BOC REVIEW?
Titles 15 and 24, CCR, set forth minimum operations and construction standards for local adult and juvenile facilities. Title 24 CCR requires plans and specifications to be submitted in duplicate to the BOC (at least 1/8″ scale architectural drawings) at three separate and sequential stages for formal review and response: 1) Schematic Design (30 percent complete, with operational program statement); 2) Design Development (50 percent complete); and 3) Construction Document (100 percent complete). Submitting plans at all three stages is to the jurisdiction’s advantage because it allows issues to be addressed sequentially and early in the process, when project modifications can be made most economically. BOC staff and the Deputy State Fire Marshal (located at the BOC) conduct independent reviews for compliance with regulations and respond in writing after each stage of review. The focus of the State Fire Marshal review is fire and life safety (including Title 24 and Title 19, CCR).
