81147
. (a) When a school building constructed in accordance with
plans and specifications approved by the Department of General
Services is completed, the notice of completion is filed, and all
final verified reports and all testing and inspection documents, as
required by this article or as required by the rules and regulations
adopted pursuant to this article, are submitted to and on file with
the Department of General Services, and all required fees paid by the
community college district, the department shall issue a
certification that the school building complies with the requirements
of this article. Nothing in this article shall prevent beneficial
occupancy by a community college district prior to the issuance of
this certification.
(b) When a school building, constructed in accordance with
approved plans and specifications, is completed but final verified
reports, as are required under Section 81141, have not been submitted
to the Department of General Services due to the incapacitating
illness, death, or the default of any persons required to file such
reports, the Department of General Services shall, upon written
request of the community college district, review all of the project
records and make such examinations as it deems necessary to enable it
to certify that the school building otherwise complies with the
requirements of this article. The Department of General Services may
request the community college district to have made, reported, and
verified any other tests and inspections which the department deems
necessary to complete its examinations of the construction.
(c) The costs incurred by the Department of General Services in
connection with this section shall be paid by the community college
district. The actual costs to perform the examinations, tests, and
inspections shall be an appropriate cost of the project to be paid
from the building funds of the district. Certification of the project
by the Department of General Services shall be withheld until all
the costs have been paid by the community college district.
(d) This section shall not relieve any individual of his or her
responsibility to file verified reports, as required in Section
81141, or any other documents required by the rules and regulations
adopted pursuant to this article. This section shall not abrogate the
provisions of Section 81144.
