Submit a School Project

To submit school projects for CGS review

CGS requires a physical check and two wet-signed copies of the contract document (Work Order Form). CGS will return one completed Work Order Form to the originator. All other documents should be uploaded directly using our Box.com upload widget (see Upload Widget at the bottom of this page). Projects will not be processed until CGS has received all the documents.

Upload the following items:

• Geologic hazard reports, geotechnical reports, seismic reports
• Site Data Report from registered design professional in responsible charge (as required by CBC §1603A.2)
• CGS Form 1A/1B: Application and Work Order for Assessment of Geologic Hazard Reports (print and sign two hardcopies, which must be mailed; see below)
• Current site plan

All file names should start with the name of the school so that CGS can associate all the files together, and connect them with the payment received via mail. A note can also be added to the “Description” field of the upload widget.

Submit the following items via mail:

• Two (2) signed copies of the CGS Form 1A/1B: Application and Work Order for Assessment of Geologic Hazard Reports
• Payment: $3,600 flat cost (check payable to California Geological Survey) NOTE: this cost will increase to $4,800, effective September 12, 2022.
