Designated Plans Examiner (DPE) Second Submission Procedure in ProjectDox

In order to document current processes, LDS has published a new Technical Bulletin. This technical bulletin details submission procedures for second submissions under the Designated Plans Examiner (DPE) program within ProjectDox. The DPE program is in partnership with the Engineers and Surveyors Institute (ESI).

The ESI Technical Bulletin, “Fairfax County’s Expedited Site and Subdivision Plan Review Process” dated September 9, 2018, defined the steps associated with the submission and approval of DPE plans in Fairfax County. That document was created before digital plan submittal and review. The subsequent ESI Technical Bulletin “Interim Procedure for Fairfax County DPE ePlans Submission of Site Plans, Site Plan Revisions, Minor Site Plans and Minor Site Plan Revisions” clarified how to complete some of the DPE process steps while working with Fairfax County ePlans. Both are viewable at www.esinova.org/jurisdictions/fairfax-county/.

This technical bulletin complements ESI policies and provides guidance on how the DPE process is followed in our ProjectDox platform. This bulletin will be retired when Fairfax County transitions to the new PLUS permitting system.
