Dear Public School Construction and Inspection Program Stakeholders,

Attached is the draft of the consolidated rules for the Public School Construction and Inspection Program (the red-line copy). The Division of Fire Safety scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, 13 Oct. 2009, at 01:00pm, at their offices (2nd floor of, 9195 E. Mineral Ave., Centennial, see map.) They are asking for your review and comment of the attached proposed rules. The Division of Fire Safety tried to do their best to simply consolidate the two sets of rules from OPS and DFS and identified a few areas to streamline processes.

In order to meet the consolidation deadline, DFS published the draft rules 9/29/09 and scheduled a rulemaking hearing for Tuesday, 4 Nov. If you have comments or recommended changes, please have them available on or before the 13 Oct. meeting. If you cannot attend the meeting, but would still like to comment on the rules, please send your comments to mark.wassom@cdps.state.co.us. They will develop marked-up draft of the rules at that meeting. They will then seek review and comment by those members of the Board of Appeals that have been identified by their respective professional associations. In addition, you will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed rules at the hearing. Please disseminate the draft rules to any other interested parties.

If you have any questions please feel free contact me at 720-852-6735 or Kevin.klein@cdps.state.co.us.
