BUILDING SERVICES DIVISION COMMERCIAL SPECIAL INSPECTION AGREEMENT
(Special inspection, testing and structural observation agreement) Revised 3/15
This agreement presents the requirements for special inspection, testing and
structural observation for commercial, industrial, and multi-family construction
designed following the 2014 Oregon Structural Specialty Code (the 2012 International
Building Code with 2014 Oregon amendments)
For a building permit to be issued, the owner or the owner’s authorized agent shall complete
and sign Sections C and D of this agreement acknowledging their understanding, and intent
to comply with, the requirements of the Special Inspections and Structural Observations
Program.
In accordance with Oregon Structural Specialty Code (OSSC) Sections 107.1, 1704.2,
1704.3, and 1704.5, the structural observations and on-site special inspections have been
identified in a program statement prepared by the registered design professional in
responsible charge for all work that falls within the categories specifically identified in OSSC
Chapter 17.
The program statement will be included within the approved construction documents, and the
special inspections and structural observations will be determined and administered from this
statement.
All special inspections identified within the statement presented in the approved construction
documents shall be inspected or tested in accordance with the provisions of OSSC Section
1705. The special inspector shall comply with the duties and responsibilities presented in
Sections II and V of the Oregon Building Officials Association (OBOA) Special Inspection
Program and shall observe and document the work for conformance with the approved plans
and specifications. All written results of these inspections or tests, including noncompliance
lists and final summary letters, shall be provided to the Building Official and the registered
design professional in responsible charge.
Special inspections are in addition to, and do not replace, inspections required to be
performed by City inspectors. Before proceeding with the project, City inspectors
must approve all work after a report by the special inspector has been provided.
Example: Prior to placing concrete in a footing/foundation, approval by BOTH the special
inspector and City inspector must be obtained.
