DSA Certification & Project Closeout

PSS is highly successful in managing the Division of State Architecture (DSA) process in a timely way because of our deep expertise in DSA requirements and because we have worked tirelessly to build a strong working relationship and a positive reputation with DSA staff. PSS helps to strengthen relationships between school districts, architectural/engineering teams, and DSA by facilitating conversations and working toward project solutions.

In addition to managing current projects, PSS has helped California school districts complete the DSA closeout process for hundreds of completed but non-certified K-12 and Higher Education projects. Many of these were projects that the Districts and their consultant teams thought could not be closed, and some dated back as far as 1964.

These projects had issues with documentation such as:
• Missing change orders
• Deferred approvals
• Revisions
• Non-compliant scopes of work
• Non-compliant test results
• Missing DSA-6 by the original Project Inspector
• Fire sprinkler systems
• Fire alarm systems
• ADA compliance
• Missing in-plant reports.
