For California school districts
Unblock your bond program.
Uncertified DSA projects are blocking your district from new bond approvals (per IR A-20). Use the A/E Certification Program marketplace to hire a California-licensed specialist Architect or Structural Engineer who closes out the projects under Ed Code §17315(b)/§81147(b).
Why your district can't just wait
IR A-20 blocks new bond approvals
DSA's Interpretation of Regulations A-20 means new construction at sites with uncertified projects can't get approved. Your bond program is stuck until you certify.
Personal liability for board members
The State Auditor (2010) flagged personal liability exposure for school board members until projects are certified. Time doesn't reduce this.
OPSC reimbursement holds
State School Building Program reimbursement requires DSA certification. Uncertified projects sit on the ledger as unrecoverable costs.
The A/E Certification Program (Alternate Process Type E)
California Ed Code §17315(b) (K-12) and §81147(b) (community colleges) authorize districts to hire any California-licensed Architect or Structural Engineer to serve as the "responsible design professional" for an uncertified project — regardless of whether they were involved in the original construction.
