Jeff / Chrissy,
Here are the exemptions from filing for a state release. Look at the Electrical and Mechan cai sect ohs on pages 23 and
24. They can be interpreted that since you are not ncreas ng the e ectr ca capac ty or the HVAC su.p,p y on y rearrang ng
the existing outlets circuits and diffusers that a state release is not required ~'or ti4ose systems You ~eed to conf rm
w th the design-build contractors that his is the case. That should satisfy Carmel if their only issue is that they have not
been released from the state.
