D-6: Resubmission Requirements
The following items are required for resubmission of plans.
Revised Plans - Due to Plan Review Comments
Provide a complete set of electronic (PDF) electrical Construction Documents. Plans shall be in one PDF file and shall not
have any City stamps from any discipline within the City of Richmond or any other markings that are not original to the
plans. Unless required by the plan reviewer, a checklist is not be required for re-submission. All submitted documents
shall follow the naming convention in Section D-5. For plans being resubmitted due to comments for a “post-permit”
revision, provide all plans that were submitted for that post-permit revision (for example if only three plans were
submitted in the post-permit revision, then resubmit those three plans). All documents being resubmitted shall be
brought into Room 108 at City Hall for processing.
Revised plans are required to be the same size as original plans.
Provide a response letter, in PDF format with a file name based on Section D-5, stating the resolution for each comment item. All
comments shall be addressed in the response letter. Failure to provide this information will delay the permit being issued. Provide
a detail response for each comment item. Responses of “Will Comply”, “Okay”, “Noted”, “Will Verify”, “This has been complied
with”, and other responses that do not provide a detailed response will not be acceptable responses.
Responses such as those noted, will be sent back for proper responses.
Provide clouds around response letter modifications only (do not cloud an entire area, since the modification might not affect that
entire area, unless it’s a new plan, in that case cloud the plan number) with numbered revision triangles and remove clouds from
previously issued revision(s).
Provide revision triangles with number, description and date.
Revised Plans - For Revisions After Permit is Approved
Provide a complete set (revised plans/documents only) of electronic (PDF) electrical Construction Documents. Plans shall
be in one PDF file and not have any City stamps from any discipline within the City of Richmond or any other markings
that are not original to the plans. Complete set of the electrical plans is not required for changes after the permit has
been issued. You only need to submit the plans that were modified based on the clarification letter. For re-submitting post-
permit plans based on plan review comments, see items in the “Revised Plans – Due to Plan Review Comments” above.
Unless required by the plan reviewer, a checklist is not be required for resubmission. All submitted documents shall follow
the naming convention in Section D-5. All documents being submitted shall be brought into Room 108 at City Hall for
processing.
Revised plans are required to be the same size as original plans.
Provide a clarification letter, in PDF format with a file name based on Section D-5, stating all modifications per each plan. The
clarification letter shall include the plan number, date of the modification, and a detailed description of each modifications. Cloud
each modification separately. Failure to provide this information will delay the permit being issued.
Provide clouds around modifications only (do not cloud an entire area, since the modification might not affect that entire area,
unless it’s a new plan, in that case cloud the plan number) with numbered revision triangles and remove clouds from previously
approved revision(s).
When a plan reviewer submits comments based on the post-permit plans, make sure NOT to add a new revision number and date.
Keep all clouds and triangles based on the original post-permit number and date. If required to add a new revision number,
KEEP the same date of the original post-permit submission.
Do not skip revisions, submit all revisions for review that affect the permit when they are issued; do not wait until 2 or 3 revisions
have been made to submit for review.
There is a fee for revisions after the permit has been issued. For projects that are greater than $500.000, there will be a one-time
fee at the first revision. No other fees will be required for other revisions. For projects under $500,000, a revision fee of 10% of
the original permit application fee will be charged for all revisions after permit has been approved.
