DSA IR 11B-10: SCOPING AND PATH OF TRAVEL UPGRADE REQUIREMENTS FOR FACILITY ALTERATION, ADDITION AND STRUCTURAL REPAIR PROJECTS (with revisions issued through April 2017)

3.1 Disproportionate Costs for Small Projects: Section 11B-202.4, Exception 8 addresses the issue of disproportionate costs for smaller projects and for projects where full compliance would be an unreasonable hardship.

• "When the adjusted construction cost is less than or equal to the current valuation threshold, as defined in Chapter 2, Section 202, the cost of compliance with Section 11B-202.4 shall be limited to 20 percent of the adjusted construction cost of alterations, structural repairs or additions. When the cost of full compliance with Section 11B-202.4 would exceed 20 percent, compliance shall be provided to the greatest extent possible without exceeding 20 percent."

• Alteration, addition and structural repair projects with adjusted construction costs below the valuation threshold shall be permitted to use the disproportionate cost threshold of 20 percent to limit the scope and cost of path of travel upgrades.
