11.01 Nonstructural Evaluation Procedure

California Administrative Code 2019 > 6 Seismic Evaluation Procedures for Hospital Buildings > 11 Evaluation of Critical Nonstructural Components and Systems > 11.01 Nonstructural Evaluation Procedure
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
  1. The nonstructural performance evaluation shall examine the respective critical nonstructural systems and elements for the planned NPC as specified in Table 11.1, "Nonstructural Performance Categories." The nonstructural evaluation process shall include the following steps:
    1. Site visit and data collection;
    2. Identification of building SPC;
    3. Identification of critical nonstructural systems for the planned NPC;
    4. Identification of critical care services housed in the building;
    5. Final evaluation for the critical nonstructural elements and systems for the planned NPC;
    6. Preparation of evaluation report; and
    7. Submittal of evaluation report to OSHPD.
  2. A general acute care hospital facility may be exempted from a nonstructural evaluation upon submittal of a written statement by the hospital owner to OSHPD certifying the following conditions:
    1. The building is designated "NPC 1" in conformance with Table 11.1 "Nonstructural Performance Categories," or
    2. The building is designated "NPC 4" in conformance with Table 11.1 "Nonstructural Performance Categories" and provided:
      1. The building was designed and constructed under a building permit issued by OSHPD;
      2. All subsequent repairs, remodels, additions and alterations were performed under a permit issued by OSHPD, and
      3. Fire sprinkler systems have been retrofitted in conformance with Table 11.1, "Non-structural Performance Categories."
    3. If a hospital owner elects to obtain a higher NPC at a future date, additional nonstructural evaluations as specified in Section 11.01.1 will be required.
      Exception: An engineering report may be submitted to the Office in lieu of the NPC 2 evaluation report required by Section 1.4.5.1.1 for nonstructural upgrades from NPC 1 to NPC 2, The engineering report shall comply with the following minimum requirements:
      1. The report shall be stamped and signed by a California licensed structural engineer certifying, in a form acceptable to the Office, compliance with the requirements of NPC 2.
      2. The report shall state that the systems and equipment listed in Table 11.1 for NPC 2 compliance either comply with or have been modified to comply with the requirements of Chapter 16A, 1995 California Building Code or equivalent provision in later version of the CBC.
      3. The report shall state what specific deficiencies have been addressed in the NPC 2 upgrade projects, and provide OSHPD project numbers for these projects.
      4. The report shall state that the corrective work required for NPC 2 compliance has been completed under permits issued by OSHPD.
      If the hospital owner or governing body has already submitted a revised or new NPC 2 evaluation report, and the Office has reviewed and made comments on this report, the engineering report shall include a statement that all comments pertaining to NPC 2 compliance in the OSHPD review have been resolved.
    4. If a hospital owner sells or leases the hospital to another party, a complete nonstructural evaluation and list of all nonstructural deficiencies to achieve NPC 5 shall be submitted to the Office prior to the completion of the sale or lease.
