34 Architects, CMs, PMs: Please take immediate note of the below guidelines recently issued by the BCCO. Moving forward, BCCO has indicated TCOs will be issued for extenuating circumstances only. Likewise, at Substantial Completion, the District s expectation will be that CM has completed all contract SOW and Full CO has been issued. However, under extenuating circumstances, when TCOs are necessitated and issued, the open permits shall be used to complete only the conditions listed on the TCO. After occupancy is granted, if additional SOW is added (above and beyond conditions of TCO), new permits will be required. New permits shall not reference the original master permit. The practice of AEs adding SOW (after occupancy) via Bulletins, PRs, or ASIs (which reference the previous project documents) will no longer be allowed. For new permits (after occupancy), stand-alone design documents must be produced. o Any and all documents produced by a registered design professional must be standalone, signed and sealed documents, not referencing the previous project documents. o If there is no indication the documents were produced by a registered design professional (i.e., no title block), signed and sealed documents will not be required; however, BCCO is not endorsing the practice of PMs or contractors extracting excerpts from original contract documents for the use of pulling new permits for additional SOW post-occupancy. o New permits must include: Site plan (this can be google map or aerial with arrow indicating location of work limits) Details of work Points of connection Product data submittals for equipment Krista McArthur LEED BD+C CGC PMP CCM Construction Manager OCPS Program Management Team 34
