DIVISION 1 — AUTHORITY AND POLICY REQUIREMENTS <br />1.00GENERAL <br />A. The State of California and its governing agencies have mandated that the <br />Department of General Services (DGS), Real Estate Services Division (RESD) <br />adhere to all regulations, policies and state statutes for all state agencies leasing <br />private sector building space. <br />B. This Exhibit 'C' document is a binding part of the lease document and shall function <br />with Exhibits 'A' and 'B'. <br />C. The forms contained in Division 4 are for the Lessor's reference. A separate <br />Lessor's forms packet will be provided by RESD for the Lessor's use. The forms <br />contained in the "Lessor's Packet" are to be used by the Lessor to accomplish the <br />processes required by this document. <br />D. Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California Building Code (Title 24) <br />accessibility requirements are combined and noted hereafter as CBC/ADA. <br />E. Abbreviations: State Fire Marshal (SFM), Division of the State Architect (DSA), Real <br />Estate Services Division (RESD). <br />1.01 STATE FIRE MARSHAL AUTHORITY <br />A. Section 13108 of the California State Health and Safety Code gives the State Fire <br />Marshal (SFM) authority for enforcement of fire protection regulations for State <br />owned and State occupied leased buildings or premises. This authority <br />encompasses both plan review and construction inspections of all leased facilities. <br />B. If at any time during the Design, Construction Document Review, or Construction <br />Inspection processes, a conflict arises between the State and local authorities, the <br />Lessor/architect will compile all pertinent information and present the situation <br />through the RESD Space Planner to the SFM. The SFM has final authority in the <br />determination of compliance and will take the lead in the resolution of problems or <br />suitable interpretation of code. <br />C. For projects with no alterations (a change, addition or modification in construction, <br />change in occupancy or use, or repair to an existing building or facility. Including, but <br />not limited to remodeling, renovation, rehabilitation, reconstruction, rearrangement in <br />the plan configuration of walls and full -height partitions), the Lessor is not required to <br />submit construction documents to the SFM. <br />D. Per CBC 111.1: No building or structure shall be used or occupied until the building <br />official has issued a certificate of occupancy. <br />1.02ACCESS COMPLIANCE AUTHORITY <br />A. California law incorporates the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. <br />California Government Code provides that buildings shall be made accessible to, and <br />usable by, persons with disabilities, whether they are leased, rented, contracted, <br />sublet, or hired by any municipal, county, or State divisions of government, or special <br />district. California Building Standards Code defines that all State facilities shall meet <br />the federal Architectural Barriers Acts. <br />B. These statutes, in addition to the California Building Code, Title 24, generate the <br />need for astandard process to ensure access compliance with respect to State <br />Teased facilities. <br />2 IAav vital <br />t <br />
