Specifications include, but are not limited to: Currently, the City is undergoing a renaissance of development projects. With the changing complexity of structural design, it may become increasingly difficult for developers/owners to anticipate modifications in building codes and design specifications. To provide an independent, objective, and technical review of a project, the City seeks to develop a pre-approved list of Peer Reviewers to serve on Peer Review Panels. A Peer Reviewer is a registered design professional or academician that has technical expertise in the fields of structural engineering, earthquake engineering research, performance-based earthquake engineering, nonlinear dynamic response analysis, tall building design, earthquake ground motion, geotechnical engineering, and/or geological engineering. The purpose of the Peer Review Panel is to enhance public safety through an independent verification that determines if the design generally conforms to the requirements set forth by the City’s Building Official.
