(a)

1. (1) Unless the project has been approved under the delivery method, a full set of plans and specifications should be submitted to the Design Review Section for review when the documents are one-hundred-percent complete.
2. (2) A full set of documents is required for plan review and record.

(b)

1. (1) Plans submitted for department and Building Authority Division review should clearly define the elements and features required to be accessible.
2. (2) Partial plans, section views, elevations, and details shall be provided at a scale large enough to show all applicable clearance and mounting heights and dimensions for each unique accessible feature.

3. (3) The drawings shall include but not be limited to the following:

   1. (A)

(i) Provide a plan view of the building showing the intended accessible path into the building and to each accessible space or clearly describe the accessible path with a general or keyed note on the plan.

1. (ii) Incorporating the accessible path by arrows, shading, or other identifiers on the life safety plan is an acceptable method;

   1. (B) Where parking is a part of the project, define the accessible path from the designated parking into the building;
   2. (C) Where multiple buildings are included in the scope of the project, show the accessible path between buildings;
   3. (D) Where construction of a public transit stop, such as a bus or trolley stop, is included in the scope of the project or is existing on the developed site, define the accessible path between the stop and the project facilities;

   4. (E)

      1. (i) A detail sheet (or sheets) should be provided with the standard accessible elements shown and dimensioned and the plans should be cross-referenced to the appropriate details.
      2. (ii) Referencing the Americans for Disabilities Act standard is not a substitute for proper and accurate dimensions or specifications.
      3. (iii) Specific information on the drawing is required for the construction phase;

   5. (F)

      1. (i) Technical specifications shall clearly require that accessible components such as door hardware, furniture, and fixtures be manufactured to meet accessibility standards and installed in accordance with the standards and manufacturer’s recommendations.
      2. (ii) Components requiring adjustment to pressure thresholds of the standards shall clearly specify the minimum and maximum allowable limits as required by the standards; and

   6. (G)

      1. (i) Field construction techniques and issues often arise that can cause a designed accessible element to be built out of compliance.
      2. (ii) Field verification during the construction phase by the design professional, building inspectors, and the building owner are essential to ensuring that noncompliant issues are identified early and corrected before the project is completed.
      3. (iii) Plans and specifications shall have sufficient details and dimensions to allow proper verification during and after construction.
