Reminder - 

RE - Proposed Code Modification to the Proposed 2010 Florida Building
Code

For your information, the Code Modification Module has been updated and
is ready to accept code change proposals for the 2010 Florida Building
Code (FBC).  As a reminder, the deadline for submitting code change
proposals is April 2, 2010.  We welcome your participation in the
development process of the 2010 FBC.  Please see link below for the Code
Modification Module.

http://www.floridabuilding.org/c/default.aspx  

In order to allow for staff to have time to provide feedback on your
proposed modification(s) and determine whether your modification is
complete, we advise that you submit your code change proposal as early
as possible. Proposed code modifications submitted after the 26th of
March 2010 will risk having no feedback from staff.  Code change
proposals deemed incomplete by staff will not be forwarded for
consideration by the Commission.

Please note, before using the new Code Modification Module to submit
your modification, it is important that you review the list of
"Questions and Answers" and the "Users Guide" available at the link
below:

http://www.floridabuilding.org/cm/cm_faq.aspx

Once you submit your proposed code modification the process is not
complete. In fact, the process is just starting.  

When you start a proposed code modification ("mod"), your mod is
assigned a unique number.  This will ensure that your mod can be
retrieved at a later date if you save it in progress.  Upon submittal,
you should see a confirmation screen that your mod was submitted, and
the Mod Number.  We recommend printing/saving this confirmation page for
your records as proof of submittal.  

You will also receive an email from the system confirming submittal.
Please be sure your email and spam blocker accepts incoming email from
@dca.state.fl.us and @floridabuilding.org

In addition to your regular email inbox, you can also monitor your
mod(s) progress in your BCIS inbox.  To get there, first login to
www.floridabuilding.org, hover or click on Proposed Code Modifications,
then select at the bottom of the menu "Manage Proposed Code
Modifications".  There you will find notices and status tabs of mods
submitted by you.  Notices will appear that are more urgent at the top
under the "Action required" area.  General updates are found in the
bottom chart under the "Information only" area.

 

We also recommend checking your email for automated notifications of
status changes from the system and from emails sent by staff regarding
your mod.  

More information will be sent in future emails regarding the next steps
in the process and what to look for in regards to your Proposed Code
Modification.

Finally, if you submit a code change that references a standard for
adoption, you need to send a copy of the proposed standard to staff and
each committee member that will be considering the proposed code
modification.  It is the responsibility of the proponent to make the
reference standard available to the committee members.  Not providing
copies of the proposed reference standard to both staff and committee
members could result in the proposal not being considered by the
committee.  Staff will not send copies of the proposed reference
standards to the committee members.  For sending a copy of the reference
standard to staff, please mail or email the standard to Ms. Marlita
Peters at 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2100.
Her email address is marlita.peters at dca.state.fl.us.  To send copies of
the reference standards to committee members, please see their names,
addresses, and email on the website at the following link 

http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fbc/committees/1_committees.htm

If you have any questions on the process please visit our information
section at www.floridabuilding.org <http://www.floridabuilding.org/>
under "Proposed Code Modifications" in the bottom right, then click on
"FAQ (Getting Started)"

Thanks 

Mo Madani, Program Manager 

Building Codes and Standards Office
