PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This “STATEMENT OF SPECIAL INSPECTIONS” is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of CBC Sections 1704 and 1705. This
form is structured after and used by permission from the Structural Engineers Association of Northern California’s
(SEAONC) model
statement of Special Inspections. Also included shall be the following:
“LIST OF TESTING AGENCIES” (page 2). A list of the testing agencies and other special inspectors that will be retained to
conduct the tests and inspections for this project.
“SCHEDULE OF SPECIAL INSPECTION” (page 3 - 6). The Schedule of Special Inspections summarizes the Special
Inspections and tests required. Special Inspectors will refer to the approved plans and specifications for detailed special
inspection requirements. Any additional tests and inspections required by the approved plans and specifications will also be
performed.
Special Inspections and Testing will be performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, this statement and CBC
sections 1704, 1705, 1707, and 1708. Interim reports will be submitted to the Director of Building Services and the Registered Design
Professional in Responsible Charge in accordance with CBC Section 1704.1.2
A Final Report of Special Inspections documenting required Special Inspections, testing and correction of any discrepancies noted in
the inspections shall be submitted prior to issuance of a Certificate of Use and Occupancy (Section 1704.1.2). The Final Report will
document:
Required special inspections.
Correction of discrepancies noted in inspections.
The Owner recognizes his or her obligation to ensure that the construction complies with the approved permit documents and to
implement this program of special inspections. In partial fulfillment of these obligations, the Owner will retain and directly pay for the
Special Inspections as required in CBC Section 1704.1.
This plan has been developed with the understanding that the Director of Building Services will:
Review and approve the qualifications of the Special Inspectors who will perform the inspections.
Monitor special inspection activities on the job site to assure that the Special Inspectors are qualified and are performing their
duties as called for in this Statement of Special Inspection.
Review submitted inspection reports.
Perform inspections as required by the local building code.
I have read and agree to comply with the terms and conditions of this statement

LIST OF SPECIAL INSPECTION AGENCIES
APPROVAL OF SPECIAL INSPECTORS:
Each special inspection agency, testing facility, and special inspector shall be recognized by the Director of Building prior to performing
any duties. Special Inspection agency’s listed on this form must be pre-approved and listed on Monterey County’s approved Special
Inspector’s list. Special inspectors shall carry approved identification when performing the functions of a special inspector and call the
Building Services Department each day the special inspection is performed. Identification cards shall follow the criteria set by the
California Council of Testing and Inspection Agencies
. No personnel changes shall be made without first obtaining the approval of the
Building Official. Any unauthorized personnel changes may result in a “Stop Work Order” and possible permit revocation. To be pre-
approved by Monterey County, a company profile including resumes of all employees, their certifications and a list of the types of work
for which recognition is requested shall be submitted to the Director of Building for review. The initial processing fee is $300 per agency
with an annual renewal fee of $100. Please allow two weeks to complete the application process.
The following are the testing and special inspection agencies that will be retained to conduct tests and inspection on this project:
