The revision is not approved until all items relating to the special inspection requirements are addressed. Note that on Sheet S003 the engineer of record,Bart Needham has specified special inspection requirements. In addition there are also notes within the plans concerning structural observation,and it was found during review that acoustic tile installation shall require special inspection because of seismic location.

Special inspectors furnish inspection at all times that their presence is required by the code, the plans and specifications, and the enforcing jurisdiction. Good communication between the special inspector and the designer, contractor, and building department is essential. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SPECIAL INSPECTOR: Special inspectors are individuals with highly developed, specialized skills who observe those critical building or structural features which they are qualified to inspect. Duties of special inspectors and/or inspection agencies include the following: 1.General Requirements Special inspectors shall review approved plans and specifications for special inspection requirements.

If any such item is not resolved in a timely manner or is about to be incorporated in the work, the engineer or architect of record and the building official should be notified immediately by telephone or in person, and the item noted in the special inspector's written report. The special inspector shall write a separate report to be posted at the job site regarding noted discrepancies which should contain, as a minimum, the following information about each nonconforming item: • Description and exact location, • Reference to applicable detail of approved plans/specifications, • Name and title of each individual notified and method of notification, and • Resolution or corrective action. 5.
