OFFICE TENANT IMPROVEMENT (OTI) INTENT To accelerate plan check turnaround time by the DBI Commercial Plan Check Division for OFFICE SPACE Tenant Improvements, on a SINGLE FLOOR, with a SINGLE TENANT OCCUPANCY, where NO structural work and NO change of occupancy occur. NOTE: Buildings with active complaints are not eligible for the OTI process. REQUIREMENTS The design professional provides accurate information by completing the attached OTI CHECKLIST and NON-INFRINGEMENT Statement. The OTI CHECKLIST summarizes the essential information required for an administrative plan review. The NON-INFRINGEMENT Statement requires that the work is in compliance with all STATE and LOCAL Ordinances, DISABLED access requirements, and ENERGY requirements. A separate NON-INFRINGEMENT statement is required on the OTI-2, by the appropriate MECHANICAL/ ELECTRICAL design professional/s, stating that all work affecting the LIFE SAFETY systems of the building do not jeopardize the buildings Life Safety Status. These documents are required to be sealed and wet-signed, according to State Laws. THE PROCESS Prior to filing, applicants are required to separate the plans into TWO individual sets. The first being OTI-1 ARCHITECTURAL WORK ONLY, and the second being OTI-2 or BUILDING SUPPORT SYSTEMS ONLY. The OTI plan review staff labels the individual applications and plans accordingly and performs a comprehensive review at the counter. If at any time during the counter review, any of the required items are missing, the APPLICATION will be rejected. Both OTI-1 and OTI-2 are always treated as completely separate permits. Each requires individual application and permit fees. The separation of the plan check segments allows both the ARCHITECTURAL and SUPPORT phases to be treated independently of each other, allowing staff to accomplish the RAPID-REVIEW PROCESS desired. 8/7/97, Rev. 3/13/02
OTI-1 (The ARCHITECTURAL Permit Application Review) This phase of the OTI permit process requires three (3) sets of ARCHITECTURAL only drawings to be submitted, along with the OTI Checklist, which must be filed out COMPLETELY, prior to submission, and the General NON-INFRINGEMENT statement reproduced on the Cover sheet. The additional items are ALWAYS required to be submitted with the OTI-1 package: l. DISABLED ACCESS drawings tracing the Path of Travel from theBuilding=s Primary Entrance, and if applicable, the Parking Facilities which serve the building and the Path of Travel to the Area of the Tenant Improvement. Included in the Path of Travel shall be the elevator and controls, drinking fountains, telephones, and the sanitary facilities which serve the area of remodel. 2. DEMOLITION PLAN showing the previous layout of the space, including removal of existing corridors, partitions, etc., which might affect the proposed tenant improvement application. 3. FULL FOOTPRINT of the floor where the work is being permitted, the base building exiting from that floor, new corridor configurations and construction, and finally the location and exiting of the proposed Tenant Improvement. In order to accurately calculate occupant loads, all areas must be properly labeled, as to USE. 4. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS, (i.e., wall construction, bracing and finishes, ceiling details, etc.) NOTE: Provide adequate number of drawing sets, ALL wet-signed and sealed by design professional(s). At the time of submission, OTI staff screens all applications, rejecting those which do not provide the required information. Once accepted into the system, the plan checker reviews both the application/s and plans. Once approved by OTI staff, they are hand carried to the other required departments for their approval. The other departments involved in the OTI process, in turn also RAPID-REVIEW the applications. During the plan check review process, applications discovered to have problems, which were inadvertently overlooked during the primary counter review, are given 72 HOURS to correct the problem/s or risk removal from the OTI process. 8/7/97, Rev. 3/13/02
