The Division of the State Architect (DSA) has revised Interpretation of Regulations (IR) A-22: Construction Projects and Items Exempt from DSA Review. This IR clarifies when plans and specifications for alteration, reconstruction, or small new construction projects on existing public (K‒12) school and community college sites are not required to be submitted to DSA for review and approval.
The construction cost thresholds in this IR have been increased in accordance with the Engineering News-Record’s U.S. 20 City Construction Cost Index for 2022.
Structural safety (SS) review is required for shade canopies that the playground equipment manufacturer provides as a feature integral with playground equipment. However, the shade canopies may be eligible for exemption from SS review, subject to the requirements listed in footnote 15 of the IR A-22 Appendix.
Please direct any specific questions regarding this IR to Diane Gould, Principal Structural Engineer, Diane.Gould@dgs.ca.gov.
