About this file
This is a Statement of Special Inspections document for the Sioux Falls Boiler Plant project at the Sioux Falls VA Medical Center (Project #438-22-900) with a date of 1/16/2025. The document outlines critical wind and seismic force resisting systems that require special inspection, including Ordinary Concentric Braced Frames, Ordinary Steel Moment Resisting Frames, and Ordinary Reinforced Concrete Shearwalls.
The document specifies that a Special Inspector of Record (SIOR) is not required per UFGS 01 45 35, Section 1.3.8. It details various horizontal and vertical Lateral Force Resisting System (LFRS) elements requiring inspection, such as continuous roof ties, concrete grade beams, OSB sheathed shear walls, and diaphragm cross rod bracing. The document also notes that Designated Seismic Systems (DSS) do not apply to this project due to the Seismic Design Category being less than C, though it includes provisions for final walk-down inspections and compliance documentation if such systems were present.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR OF RECORD (SIOR) DETERMINATION
< The Special Inspector of Record (SIOR) is a DOD mandate. Enter the requested data to determine whether an SIOR is required or is not required.
< For DB contracts insert the SIOR contact information. For DBB contracts enter, "Contractor to provide prior to construction start".
< The SIOR must be a registered professional engineer, and must not be an employee of the General Contractor, or an employee of a Sub-Contractor performing construction for this project.
DESIGNATED SEISMIC SYSTEMS (DSS)
This section identifies whether Designated Seismic Systems apply to this project or do not apply. Additionally, and where DSS apply, some explanation is provided below for what a Designated Seismic System is for this specific project.
Example entries are provided, replace/delete as necessary
NEXT: COMPLETE THE SCHEDULE OF SPECIAL INSPECTIONS TEMPLATE.
Edit, print, and append the Schedule of Special Inspections Template to this Statement of Special Inspections and insert both at the back of the project Special Inspections Specification 01 45 35.
2. The component conveys, supports, or otherwise contains toxic, highly toxic, or explosive substances where the quantity of the a material excees a threshold quantity established by the authority having jurisdiction and is sufficient to pose a threat to the public if released (RC I thru V + SDC C thru F).
3. The component is in, or attached to, a Risk Category IV or V structure, and it is needed for continued operation of the facility, or its faiure could impair the continued operation of the facility (RC IV thru V + SDC
C thru F).
4. The component conveys, supports, or otherwise contains hazardous substances and is attached to a structure, or portion thereof, classified by the authority having jurisdiction as a hazardous occupancy (RC I thru V + SDC C thru F).
FINAL WALK DOWN INSPECTION AND REPORT FOR NON-STRUCTURAL DSS
< A non-structural DSS final walk down inspection applies to this project
< …Certificates of compliance documenting that the requirements are met shall be submited to the buidling offical
(2015 IBC 1704.5 & 1705.13.3) and shall be maintained in a file identified as "Equipment Certification Documentation".
This file shall be part of the final project O&M Manual
< Designated Seismic Systems DO NOT APPLY to this project, nothing further is required as part of this Statement of
DSS for this project are nonstructural components with an importance factor of 1.5 AND with the following project conditions (UFC 3-310 SECTION 2-11.2) (ASCE 7-10, 13.1.3):
1. The component is required to function for life-safety purposes after an earthquake, including fire sprinkler systems and egress stairways (RC I thru V + SDC C thru F).
