Electronic submissions: Don't submit PM paperwork electronically!
Project Manager's Complete Final Application Packet paperwork should be
submitted in paper form. When final PM paperwork is received for a final
electronic submission, you will be provided a review number used to file
your plans and specifications electronically with Dataflow. A hard copy
project folder will be created and put on our review shelf identified as
an electronic submission. When the project gets picked up by a reviewer,
they will go to the web to download the plans and specifications for your
project. 4/13/09

Annual Visual Inspection now up 11/5/09
Annual Visual Inspections must have been completed by November
15, 2008. Extensions will not be granted for the inspection date. Online
submission of the data is required by January 15, 2009. Because we experienced
technical difficulties with the online reporting system we were delayed
in putting the submission collection online. It is now up-and-running and
ready for data collection. The submission date has been extended to March
15, 2009.
Preliminary reviews: when a district is considering a new building
or addition, we strongly suggest submitting a preliminary review to determine
maximum cost allowance for the project BEFORE a public referendum. We have
recently received preliminary and final submissions after public approval
and determined that the maximum cost allowance differed from the architect's
calculations. Note: this includes bus garage additions! 11/17/08
