Beaumont City Council
May 16, 2023

recommending the following four (4) consultants to provide building and safety services for the City:

 4Leaf, Inc.
 Bureau Veritas
 Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc.
 Willdan

These firms demonstrated the most efficient approach, responsiveness, and ability to provide quality services to the City. Staff believes that having four (4) on-call service providers will allow the City flexibility to meet the current plan check and inspection needs for the City and developers by providing quality plan checks and inspections.

Fiscal Impact:

This contract covers three (3) separate fiscal years and at this time, none of the budgets have been adopted. Therefore, the budget for plan review and inspection services is unknown. These contracts will be used on an “as-needed” basis and the cumulative annual amount will not exceed the current fiscal year’s approved budget for plan review and inspection services. For 2023/2024 fiscal year budget, the amount being requested is $390,000.

Fees for these services will be paid in accordance with the City of Beaumont’s Adopted Fee Schedule prior to any services being performed. The City attorney has reviewed the proposed contracts. Fees budgeted and will be paid from the following funding sources:

 Building Plan Check Fund 100-2150-7063-0000
 Building Inspection Fund 100-2150-7067-0000
 Developer provided deposits for inspection services (pass through).

Recommended Action:

Award a professional services agreement to 4Leaf, Inc.; Bureau Veritas ; Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc.; and Willdan for on-call Building and Safety services in an annual amount not to exceed the fiscal year’s council approved budget for plan check and inspection fees in the Building and Safety Budget for the year of the contract.

Building & Safety Plan Check
Services City of Beaumont Request for Proposal

Introduction
The City of Beaumont (“City”) Community Development Department requests written responses to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for selection of qualified firms (“Consultants”) to provide Building & Safety Plan Check Services, Building Inspection Services, Permit Technician Services and Fire Plan Check Services on an as-needed basis on behalf of the City’s Building & Safety Department.

The City of Beaumont has an in-house plans examiner that will perform follow-up plan reviews on product produced from the consultant. Proposers are encouraged to include in their proposals an hourly rate for plan review(s) where the proposer’s firm may not perform the complete plan check as often done with the percentage method.

City of Beaumont
Founded at the turn of the 20th century, Beaumont is proud of its rich history and rural charm.

The town served as a welcome “stopping-off point” for early travelers making their way from the Mohave desert to Los Angeles, and later for L.A. residents eager to vacation in Palm Springs.

Some, however, set down roots, drawn by the beautiful mountain vistas, clean, crisp air, and the abundance of cherry and apple orchards. The City is located in the western portion of Riverside County and is bounded on the west by Calimesa and unincorporated areas, on the north by the unincorporated County areas (Cherry Valley), on the south by unincorporated County areas and the City of San Jacinto, and on the east by the City of Banning. The land area within the City’s boundaries is approximately 26 square miles.

Beaumont provides the very best of rustic, rural beauty and charm, combined with the planned growth, abundant recreational opportunities, and rich community life offered by the finest Southern California cities. The progressive city of over 55,000 people, sits at 2,612 feet in elevation between Riverside and Palm Springs in the Inland Empire. The city contains 16 city parks, including a 20-acre sports park and a municipal pool, as well as an extensive trails system. The Beaumont School District, with 10 schools, has an outstanding reputation, and ranks highly in the Pass Area. The city is rounded out with various local service clubs, a new state of the art community recreation center, a library, two four-star golf courses, and multiple churches.

The City interacts with numerous other government agencies, including but not limited to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the California Department of Transportation, the County of Riverside, and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The City Government
The Beaumont City Council is comprised of five Council members, each sharing equal voting powers on all items coming before the Council. Council members are elected to at-large positions for four-year terms, with elections held in November of even-numbered years. The City Council meets annually to select one of its members to serve as Mayor and another to serve as Mayor Pro Tem for one year but no more than two consecutive years.

Proposal to Provide Building & Safety Plan Check Services to the City of Beaumont Page 5 Section C: Firm Approach March 23, 2023
SECTION C: FIRM APPROACH
With more than 22 years of experience, 4LEAF is the industry leader in Building Department Services and covers every area of Community Development including Building, Code Enforcement, Planning, Fire, and Public Works.

Most importantly, 4LEAF is widely recognized as the firm who can provide personnel on demand within 24 hours of notice including:
 Plans Examiners
 Building Inspectors
 Permit Technicians
 CASp Plan Review/Inspection

Our philosophy is to strive to be the best firm providing our clients with outstanding customer service and first- rate plan review and inspection services. 4LEAF has been the industry leader in providing Building Department Services to public agencies as well as other scopes within Community Development Departments.

TRANSITION PERIOD
4LEAF’s transition team will immediately shadow existing staff to obtain an understanding of existing operations.

Documentation will be made of existing operations and recommendations for process modifications may be presented for management approval. This observation and recommendation process is followed by onboarding and training of the assigned 4LEAF staff to ensure all team members have a detailed understanding of both current City processes and how to implement a comprehensive plan of action to update these processes moving forward.

Our staff are well trained and certified and have worked with numerous jurisdictions throughout Southern California.

As an experienced firm, 4LEAF has approaches to working with clients that differ from those you might find when working with other large corporations. Our philosophy is to strive to be the best firm providing our clients with outstanding customer service and first-rate plan review and inspection services. 4LEAF has been the industry leader in providing Building Department Services to public and private clients throughout California.

Our Project Manager, Marcus Johnson, will arrange to meet with the City to review the City’s policies, workflow, and job duties of current staff. In working with the City, it will be determined how to best integrate our staff and achieve a seamless flow within the City’s structure. The first step is to acclimate our team to the culture of the City by communicating and introducing our staff to the City. Creating a plan together, establishing goals and learning everyone’s roles helps will help the team to work together. After the “transition period” where we have gone through several reviews and/or inspections of projects, 4LEAF’s management team will check in with the City to see on how things are going and if we need to make any adjustments.

A common compliment 4LEAF receives from our clientele is of our timely responsiveness. Our employees and our management staff are diligent about being available to our clients. Additionally, 4LEAF is a 24/7 operation and we encourage our clients to call us whenever a need arises (texting is suggested for an instant response). From questions to staff needs, 4LEAF will provide timely responses to all requests. Phone calls and emails will be returned each day as soon as possible. We understand the need for timely responses, and we have a policy that all correspondence must be answered within 24 hours.

We provide these services for project types including Single-Family Dwellings, large Multi-Family Mixed-Use Dwelling Units, Commercial, and Industrial.

Approach
We understand that the specific building plan review responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
• Examining plans, drawings, specifications, computations documents, soils reports, and additional data; • Ascertaining whether projects are in accordance with applicable building and fire codes, and City ordinances, including but not limited to Title 24 and Title 25; • Performing such reviews as structural, MEP, green building, fire and life safety, grading and drainage; • Reviewing plans to ensure conformity to the required strengths, stresses, strains, loads, and stability as per the applicable laws;

Proposal to Provide Building & Safety Plan Check Services to the City of Beaumont. Page 16 Section I: Scope of Services March 23, 2023 On- and Off-Site Review
4LEAF can supply Registered Professional Engineers to the City to work on-site performing structural plan review and non-structural reviews at the jurisdiction’s discretion. Our experience includes checking for compliance with the structural, life-safety, accessibility, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, and local codes/ordinances.

Process Mapping
4LEAF aims to bring departmental processes together by identifying and eliminating obstacles to streamline processes. Our subject-matter experts visit each department within a jurisdiction to conduct an analysis of existing processes, identify how best to streamline separate departmental processes to improve workflow, and provide guidance and recommendations on an improved work plan. 4LEAF implementation staff work both on- and off- site during this process and offer extensive training to existing municipal staff members on the use of a jurisdiction’s preferred permitting software.

We have a robust amount of experience with software that aids in the implementation of process mapping, such as e-PlanSoft, TRAKiT, EnerGov, Accela, and iWorQ.

QA/AC Review Process
Task 1 – Project Tracking Set-up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City each to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.

Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage (preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan review project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete (i.e., all pertinent plans, calculations, reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted package is incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the deficient documents needed to proceed with our review.

Task 3 - Plan Review Assignment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to the most qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We will log each application into our database the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for daily project tracking.

Task 4 - Plan Review
4LEAF will provide the project contact (Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building codes, ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.

Task 5 - Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.

After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e-mailed to a designated staff member at

Proposal to Provide Building & Safety Plan Check Services to the City of Beaumont. Page 17 Section I: Scope of Services March 23, 2023 the City or as directed. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include a description of the work, type of construction, occupancy group, square footage, number of floors, and sprinkler requirements.

Task 6 - Plan Review Rechecks
Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for conformance. Our goal is to actively work with the designers to resolve all unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are complicated issues that might cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve these concerns.

Task 7 - Project Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting documents per the City’s processing requirements and return them along with our letter of completion.

Turn-Around Times
4LEAF has a tremendous reputation for completing projects on-time and under budget. 4LEAF’s plan review team is widely recognized for quick turn-around times and prompt service. Off-site plan reviews are performed at our office, with plans transmitted by personal delivery or overnight service. The standard turn-around time is within 10 business days for residential plan reviews and within 10 days for commercial/industrial plan reviews; however, these timeframes are negotiable based on your needs. 4LEAF also provides Fire Plan Review services.

Pick-up of all plans will be performed by 4LEAF staff within 24 hours of the City’s phone call or e-mail. 4LEAF prefers to pick-up and deliver the plans in person to communicate information that may be pertinent to the project and maintain consistent communication. At no additional cost, 4LEAF staff will transport the plans to and from the City upon a phone call to the 4LEAF office or simply e-mail for “pick-up” to [email protected].

Structural Only Review
Upon request, 4LEAF will perform “structural only” reviews for the City. 4LEAF can communicate directly with the designers via email, in-person meetings, and through our EZPlan Review system. 4LEAF prefers PDF files for “structural only” reviews as they allow several Structural Engineers to review plans together should there be

Proposal to Provide Building & Safety Plan Check Services to the City of Beaumont. Page 18 Section I: Scope of Services March 23, 2023 design-related questions. The majority of 4LEAF’s plan review engineers have a design background and work well with project designers.

4LEAF’s EZPlan Review
EZPlan Review is our in-house tracking software that acts as a communication tool between 4LEAF and the jurisdictions we work with. The use of EZPlan makes communication easy. This web portal allows users visualize project due dates, notes, and status updates so that projects can be followed from start to finish.

Additionally, 4LEAF provides electronically stamped and uploaded copies of approved project plans, a value which saves clients time and resources. With the use of EZPlan, 4LEAF hopes to provide a level of ease and transparency during the off-site plan review process.

Document Control
When plans and documents are received for review, 4LEAF’s Plan Review Manager and Document Control Technician analyze the project, creates a job number, and completes a Job Setup Sheet. This form highlights both the jurisdiction, applicable contact information, and all project specific design criteria and notes. Jobs are then transmitted through 4LEAF’s easily accessed EZPlan Review Portal which tracks initial and subsequent reviews and is open for view by the client. The City and their customers can view 4LEAF’s plan review control log through 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review Portal.

Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting of Plan Review Engineers, Architect (a licensed state professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as applicable. Our staff then performs his or her function of analyzing the plans and documentation for effective conformance to the state codes, referenced construction standards, and City amendments. 4LEAF’s code review methodology is “The Effective Use of the Codes” reinforced through proprietary and jurisdictional checklists. When complete, the Plan Review Manager overviews the project for quality control purposes and forwards comments or approvals to the client.

Off-Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan review allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time efficiency and a “green” and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company-wide, from any of our office locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers, businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will be given to City staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process. 4LEAF has successfully implemented and used Bluebeam for electronic review of files to help eliminate the use of paper and take the plan review workflow to a whole new level. 4LEAF’s offices are equipped with large scale monitors for easy review of plans. Bluebeam Revu combines powerful PDF editing, markup, and collaboration technology with reliable file creation. Bluebeam integrates flawlessly with our Green Line approach for electronic

Proposal to Provide Building & Safety Plan Check Services to the City of Beaumont. Page 19 Section I: Scope of Services March 23, 2023 and timely turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.

Additional Technologies
Having served more than 350 jurisdictions, 4LEAF and our staff are knowledgeable and have experience working with a variety of different technologies for Electronic Plan Review, Permit Tracking, and Building Inspections. 4LEAF’s experience with tracking technologies includes, but is not limited to:

INSPECTION SERVICES
4LEAF has a team of more than 200 ICC Certified Building Inspectors, OSHPD/DSA Inspectors of Record, and Construction Inspectors working on various contracts. 4LEAF has a team committed to work throughout Southern California who will remain for the duration of projects to ensure we capture the goals and performance that have made our inspection system successful. We maintain the largest database of qualified inspectors of varied qualifications. Inspectors vary from current full-time inspection staff, idle staff (temporarily between assignments), and pre-qualified staff which include inspectors who are available subject to client demand. 4LEAF’s inspectors are all ICC Certified and experienced working within a municipal work environment. 4LEAF will provide inspectors with all the necessary tools, equipment, and current code books sufficient to facilitate all required inspections.

4LEAF can provide interim or full-time inspectors same-day or within one business day—simply call, email, or text our assigned Project Manager for an immediate response. Below is a snapshot of our on-call database that is utilized for all our clients for as-needed requests.

This is particularly helpful to fast paced projects looking for continuous inspection services over a short period of time (i.e. 6 - 36 Months).

Project-Specific Inspections
GoFormz
4LEAF will implement the GoFormz software for inspection requests. With licenses owned by the City, 4LEAF’s Administration team will prepare inspection requests and inspection results documenting construction activity.

In addition, 4LEAF will be able to extract information and provide detailed monthly reports detailing the construction activity. The reports will be detailed to identify contractors, subcontractors, work progress, pictures, and a detailed explanation of the field activities.

GoFormz allows every piece of information collected on a project to be accessible by all staff as every form is stored securely and safely in the Cloud. The information can be accessed through a user’s web account where they can view any inspection report and run reports on project data. The information can be accessed through a user’s web account where they can view any inspection report and run reports on project data.

The inspector will be able to leave detailed notes under the inspections and observations box and instantaneously attach pictures to the report to show the item inspected. The inspector will also be able to sign the report by hand on the iPad through the mobile signature block and pictures taken from the iPad are stored on the inspection document.

APPROACH TO DELIVERING SERVICES
BV is the largest plan review firm in the United States, providing full service code consulting and plan review
services. The firm’s personnel have performed and
managed plan review for thousands of projects.

Project types include office and industrial, hotels,
institutional occupancies, single-family tract and
custom homes, tilt-up shells, tenant improvements,
and infrastructure. BV staff have considerable
review experience of virtually any structure requiring
permits, plan reviews, and inspections. Geotechnical,
lab testing, and other reports are considered in the
plan review process. The firm is well positioned to
meet the needs of the City and deliver discipline-
specific plan reviews (e.g., structural, mechanical,
access, street, drainage, map, civil infrastructure,
etc.).

The firm has specific experience working through
a variety of challenges including infill commercial
development, adaptive reuse and change of
occupancies of existing buildings, retrofit of un-
reinforced masonry or soft-story buildings, large
commercial shopping centers and mixed-use multi-
family developments, live-work projects, and high
tech, research and development facilities.

BV’s plan review services for the City shall endeavor
to adhere to current codes, with detailed plan review
letter comments, reference plan sheets numbers and
code sections, and two copies (one electronic) of the
plan review corrections list are provided for each
reviewed project. Services include recheck of plans
after the applicant has made corrections, review and
recheck of field changes, and deferred submittals
and review and recheck of additional work on the
project as needed.

METHODOLOGY & APPROACH
Bureau Veritas provides full service building
department administration including plan review,
inspection, and permit technician services for
numerous agencies. We offer services which range
from reviewing a single, complex, or unique project
to handling all plan review needs for a City. The firm’s personnel are dedicated to providing the highest
level of customer service and ensuring all work is
in conformance with the requirements of the City
and all other applicable codes. Resources can be
adjusted on fast-track projects, as needed, to meet
demanding schedules. Personnel assigned to City
projects are available to attend meetings at the City
to address questions or discuss issues with the City
staff, design team, and/or construction team which
may arise on a project and provide guidance for
City staff, applicants, designers, and contractors.

Consistency, responsiveness, efficiency, and a
positive attitude are key components of the firm’s
approach.

As an ISO 9001 certified firm, BV undergoes
systematic, independent audits of its management
systems to meet rigorous objectives and provide
continuous improvement in key areas. The firm
consistently incorporates proven best practices and
protocols as part of its quality management system
to meet and exceed ever-increasing customer
requirements. These tools include implementation
of an established quality assurance/quality control
program using the BV CARE program for the intake,
track, and review of plans to enhance quality
and streamline processing/approval; electronic
plan check to expedite turnaround times which
save time and money; and the utilization of web-
based document control system which fosters
collaboration, 24/7 access to documents and
reports, and enhances overall communication.

To ensure the work assignment is being performed
at the highest professional level, BV relies on
the management and technical excellence of its
personnel and a proven QA/QC program. This
assures the quality of all work performed under this
contract meets City approval. BV has developed

BUREAU VERITAS | 220 Technology Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 O 949.860.4800 | www.bvna.com
5 B. INTRODUCTION/INFORMATION
and implemented corporate QA policies, consistent
with all applicable federal and state regulatory
requirements and standards, covering all aspects
of project performance, technical quality, and peer
review. These policies are implemented at each
professional and technical level to provide a well-
balanced, independent QA program, which assures
the quality of reports, technical reviews, annuals and
other documentation prepared by BV. This ensures
the product is consistent with the established
standards from the standpoint of quality, validity,
and legal defensibility.
• Identify Client Needs: Identifying the
clients’ requirements and expectations
is a key initial step to BV’s client-focused
approach. BV actively listens and maintains
sensitivity to unique issues, priorities, and
organizational culture to work in partnership
to assess diverse needs and special initiatives
.
• Strategic Planning: With this partnership,
BV establishes a clear plan of action to
institute priorities, identify stakeholders/
processing agencies, formulate communication
protocols, and align services with
mutually-defined needs and objectives.

and concise scope, schedule, and budget
are developed. BV assigns expertise which

6 C. DELIVERY OF SCOPE OF SERVICES
At Bureau Veritas, the firm’s #1 goal is to meet and
exceed the service levels required from its municipal
clients. BV’s commitment is to provide staff continuity, close communication, immediate accessibility
to staff and information, implementation of best
practices, and proactively solve issues not clearly
identified in the code. BV fully believes in following
a solution oriented philosophy and will proactively
ensure exceptional customer service, balance
development momentum with code compliance/
processing requirements and seamlessly serve as an
extension of the City’s staff. The firm is keenly aware of the desire for high-quality customer service,
timely reviews, reliability, responsiveness, and cost-
effective solutions. BV’s commitment to providing
accurate and appropriate solutions to its clients and
its ability to quickly and efficiently meet the needs of the communities the firm serves makes BV an ideal
partner for the City.

BV’s philosophy is to take a proactive approach
in balancing the workforce with the development
activity in order to achieve the City’s goals and serve its community to the very best of the firm’s abilities.

Furthermore, the firm is committed to sharing best
practices and lessons learned and working with
applicants to correct code deficiencies and bring
projects to a successful conclusion. To achieve
a cohesive and seamless process, the firm has
developed the following procedures. BV’s team of
professionals are capable of providing the required
services in an efficient manner in the best interest
of the City of Beaumont and are familiar with the
City’s processes and procedures and will provide
successful, on-time, and on-budget project delivery.

PROMOTE information sharing and collaborative work between all City staff and contractors:

When you have multiple groups with differing views,
resources, and skills applying their intelligence and
strength to manage a community, the results can be
impressive. They can figure out ways to garner the
necessary skills, funds, and time to solve community
problems and improve human services. But it
requires people who are well-organized, cooperative,
and aligned by a common mission. The BV team puts
aside the narrow interests of its own organization
and gives priority to the broader common good of
the larger community. By networking, coordinating,
cooperating, and collaborating, the BV team works
with all City staff, stakeholders, and organizations to accomplish common goals each entity can’t achieve
on their own.

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE
BV and our proposed, locally-based staff for this
contract have a long-established history working
for the nearby municipalities to perform in-house
and outside plan check, inspections, civil and other
building department services. Consequently, we can
leverage a breadth of code compliance and permit
processing expertise to meet the needs of the City,
and offer highly qualified engineers and ICC certified
staff who are in close proximity and can quickly
respond to the City’s needs.

COMPETENCE THROUGH CERTIFICATION: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL Building safety depends on more than codes and
standards. Building safety results from providing
trained professionals with the resources and
ongoing support necessary to stay current with the
latest advancements in the building safety field. ICC
certification ensures competent building and fire
safety individuals are involved in the critical building approval process. The ICC certification represents
BV’s commitment to providing professional and
competent plan review and inspection staff to our
municipal clients.

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION AND PROFICIENCY IN THE CODE INDUSTRY As demonstrated through our ICC Certifications,
BV’s staff is proficient in the application of the
International Family of Codes. Additionally, the
team is proficient in the application of the National
Electrical Code, NFPA codes, Green Building
Program/Energy Code, and Accessibility Standards.

Our staff has participated in the development of
the codes on the local and national level. The staff
attends code development hearings at the ICC
meetings and are active members of national and
regional professional associations.

CERTIFIED AND ACCREDITED TO HIGH STANDARDS
Bureau Veritas is recognized and accredited by
major national and international organizations.

More than any other company, Bureau Veritas
must be exemplary in Quality, Health, Safety and
Environment (QHSE). Being a recognized leader in
these fields and thus having these competencies

7 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
BV associates all share the responsibility for continual improvement of the firm’s quality management
process and believe the program, supported by the
BV business model and its code of ethics, will ensure
the continual delivery of high quality products and
services to the City of Beaumont. In doing so, the firm will establish itself as the City’s preferred supplier in conformity assessment and certification services
in the fields of quality assurance, health and safety,
environment, and social responsibility (QHSE).

BV’s quality management system provides the
framework for continual improvement of its internal
management processes and resources which will
in turn add value for the City through the services
offered and delivered. In addition, Our quality
management system gives the company and the
City the confidence that the provision of services
and products will be delivered consistently to
predetermined high standards worldwide.

Budget Controls and Billing Related Quality Assurance - FLEX Budget control is achieved
by closely monitoring work
assignment labor and direct expenses. Work reports
must be completed by each individual and the labor
hours must be approved by the project manager
before being charged to The City of Beaumont.

Similarly, expense reports and other direct expenses
must be approved by the project manager prior to
entering the cost data system.

To ensure optimal administration of the main
functionalities of contract management and the
facilitation of billing related quality assurance BV
utilizes FLEX. FLEX is a reference repository which is
comprised of all billing and contractual information
(invoices, work assignments, expenses, labor
reports, project reports, etc.). This advanced system
assists BV in implementing and maintaining a
number of budget and cost control processes which:
• Ensures data integrity and allows for a flexible
and secure billing process
• Enhances billing efficiency and productivity
• Minimizes revenue leakage by monitoring its
sources through control reports
FLEX ensures contract and budget control via
standardized features and alignment of project
in its DNA, BV is continuously improving internal
processes to better protect the health and safety
of its employees, while also minimizing its impact
on the environment and delivering added-value
services to its clients.

To demonstrate its commitment to high standards,
Bureau Veritas was audited by independent third
parties to achieve the ISO 9001:2008 Certification
and IAS AC402 Accreditation.

ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System Certified
ISO 9001:2008 specifies requirements for a quality
management system where an organization:
• Needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently
provide service that meets customer
and applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements, and
• Aims to enhance customer satisfaction through
the effective application of the system, including
processes for continual improvement of the
system and the assurance of conformity
to customer and applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements
• Bureau Veritas achieved ISO 9001:2008 in 2007
and is audited annually.
• IAS AC402 Accreditation.

In 2010, Bureau Veritas proudly
became the first company to
achieve accreditation under the
International Accreditation Service
(IAS) Third-Party Permitting,
Plan Review and Inspection
Service Providers Accreditation
Program (AC 402). AC402 outlines
requirements for the accreditation of third-party
nongovernmental providers of building department
services and thus recognizes the important role
that private firms play in ensuring public safety.

The goal of this program is to provide accreditation
to independent providers of building department
services based on quality management principles
and best practices, to ensure that the outstanding
safety record of buildings in the U.S., as compared to
buildings elsewhere in the world, is maintained.

information in real time. Additionally, the system
is designed to promote contract follow up from
project outset to closing which helps to establish and
maintain optimal communication.

Project Management and Schedule Controls - Quickbase Protrack Work assignment schedules will be managed
on several levels. The project manager will
maintain regular contact with the City manager
to communicate the project status and progress
on deliverables. In addition, an internal schedule
including critical milestones and deliverable due
dates will be established prior to initiating the
task work. This allows ample time for editorial and
technical review, changes, and assurance in schedule
compliance.

In order to efficiently and effectively track project
workflow BV employs Protrack, a quality assurance
software solution created by Quickbase. This
custom-built program was developed specifically to
meet the needs of the firm and enhance its project
management capabilities in service to its clients.

Protrack monitors numerous pieces of project data
in real time including, but not limited to, project
schedule status, active projects by office, project
type, number of active projects per client, weekly
number of new projects initiated, and much more.

The program’s dashboard allows users to generate
reports which can provide an overall snapshot of
BV’s current activities or can be filtered to present
precise details regarding a specific project or client.

The crucial information monitored in Protrack not
only aids in maintaining schedules and project
turnaround times but also gives the firm the capacity
to make decisive course corrections which ensure
deliverables of the highest caliber and complete
customer satisfaction. Furthermore, Protrack is
designed to work collaboratively with BV’s billing and
invoicing software, FLEX, to enable the consistent
completion of projects on-time and on-budget.

Plan Review Process
Our team becomes familiar with the requirements
of a public agency before beginning a review and
continually monitors trends and legislation in order
to advise the City on ordinances and standard
practices to consider for adoption. BV has extensive
public sector experience, which assures that public
interests are fully protected. We understand that
careful consideration of issues and impacts are
needed in addition to technical expertise. We have
devoted a great deal of time over the years to refining our approach and developing documentation to
assist our clients and train our personnel to ensure
highly efficient plan review procedures.

BV will work to ensure that submittals are properly
coordinated and tracked by following an established
internal plan check coordination process in which
each plan received for review is entered into our
ProTrack database, processed and returned on time
to the client.

Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track
each submittal throughout the review process and
maintain accurate and comprehensive records for
each submittal. To accomplish this we:
• Screen and log each application to assure that
they are routed to all plan reviewers in a timely
manner.
• Submittals are reviewed for compliance with all
ordinances. The log serves as a tracking device
to assure turnaround times and completeness of
the review.
• Plan reviews will be done in accordance with local,
state and federal regulations with which local
jurisdictions are mandated to enforce as well as
all codes and ordinances in effect by adoption at
the time of plan review. Preliminary consultations
will be provided to the applicant upon request,
to assist and guide them in the design and plans
preparation process.
• Information shown on each permit application
is verified. Construction valuation is based on
information provided by the City of Beaumont
and compared to estimates provided by the
applicant.
• Provide a thorough architectural and structural
review of design drawings and details for
compliance with the California Building Code
architectural provisions, including provisions
for safety glazing, building security and noise
insulation performance standards, to name a
few. These reviews can also be performed on
revisions to plans which have previously been
approved for permit issuance.
• Preparation of a review letter report
• Plan review management.
• BV assures that corrections are handled as quickly
and as clearly as possible. Our goal is to help the
applicant through the plan review process. All

23 I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
BUREAU VERITAS | 220 Technology Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 O 714.431.4100 | www.bvna.com
corrections are identified based on compliance
with specified codes and regulations.

Generally, corrections are identified in two ways.

Notes are made on plans during electronic review or
on hard copy plans if appropriate, and a correction
sheet is generated, detailing what items need to be
addressed before plans can be approved. The City
shall approve the development of any customized
correction sheets. Correction sheets for specific
projects shall be forwarded to the City along with a
cover memo containing at least the following:
• The date(s) plans were received and reviewed
• The date(s) the applicant was notified of
completed plan reviews
• The name and telephone number of the applicant
During the plan review process, BV is prepared to
meet with the applicant or architect/engineer, City
employees or consultants at any time. Telephone
discussions or meetings at project sites are
welcomed to assure that any plan review issues are
handled efficiently. We propose to meet at the offices
of the building and safety division or at a particular
project site. Our goal is to issue approved plans as
quickly as possible but in full compliance with laws,
codes, ordinances and regulations. Upon completion
of the plan review, the following information package
is prepared and logged as a minimum:
✓Completed plan check documents including sign-
offs
✓Transmittal letter documenting any conditions
associated with issuance of a permit, if any
✓Marked up plan review documents
✓Two sets of approved building plans
✓Backup documents and reports
✓Documents provided in desired City format
Transmittal of Plans and Correction Lists
BV assumes responsibility for the pickup and return
of plans. All plans shall be picked up from the City
offices within 24 hours of notification. Should the
volume of work be sufficient, we propose to establish
regular pick up of plans on a consistent basis. We will also utilize shipping courier, at no additional cost to the City. Upon completion of each plan review, we
will forward a copy of the correction list to both the
City and the applicant, by email. When corrected
plans are resubmitted, the previous procedure will
be followed or the applicant may schedule an office
visit to go over any corrections in person. When
plans are completed they are stamped, signed and
forwarded by BV personnel. Our transmittal forms
will be customized for the City of Beaumont.

Plan Review Turnaround Times
BV provides plan review activities on a fast-track
basis to reduce the impact on project contraction
schedules. Turnaround times for each submittal
relate to the size and nature of the submittal and
impact on the project construction schedule. To
reduce turn around times for plan check, the firm
uses electronic submittals, phased submittals,
conference calling, video-conferencing, and visits by
plan check staff to design offices of the engineer or
architect.

BV has built long-term partnerships with many
agencies and municipalities. The firm understands
accuracy, efficiency, and integrity in all aspects
of professional services is required. Testimony to
BV’s professional excellence is the fact it has a large number of repeat clients and client referrals. Because
of the firm’s large pool of accessible resources it is able to assemble experienced personnel in order to assist
with project schedule recovery when necessary.

BV also accommodates preliminary reviews to
facilitate fast tracked or accelerated projects. This
aids with timely turnaround and creates good public
relations. The firm’s staff makes recommendations
for resolutions if requested. The firm also meets
with agencies, City staff, and citizens, as needed, to
discuss its findings.

Electronic Plan Review Services
BV will continue to work with the City’s existing
system but offers alternatives should the City be
interested in learning about more options. Digital
plan check uses a software which presents customers
with a convenient alternative solution to printing and
delivering paper plans to City offices at zero cost. This modern solution has become especially valuable
as municipalities seek to continue service delivery
to their communities while focusing on health and
safety during the COVID-19 crisis.

BV provides an alternative solution to traditional plan checking. With GoPost, BlueBeam, Adobe Acrobat, or
other similar software, our plan reviewers can quickly
and accurately review plans for compliance with
applicable codes. Plans are submitted as PDF files
via a secure and confidential FTP site. These plans
are then reviewed by our personnel who are able to

BUREAU VERITAS | 220 Technology Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 O 949.860.4800 | www.bvna.com
24 I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
place comments and redlines directly on the plans,
corresponding to areas needing revisions.

Redlined plans with comments are then forwarded
to, or placed on the secure FTP site for the designers, engineers, and architects. The City also has access
to the FTP site. Plans can then be revised and
resubmitted via the same method described. If all
items were resolved, hard copy plans are sent to BV
for approval stamps and signatures.

Electronic plan submittal and commenting allows for
economical movement of plans and quick turnaround
times. Plans with comments can be viewed and
discussed as needed to resolve issues quickly and
efficiently. BV has successfully implemented and
utilized digital plan review in over 60 federal, state, and local agencies for multiple years.

BUILDING INSPECTION
BV inspectors are ICC certified and have extensive
experience in the construction trades as well. Fast-
track projects may be built into small phases based
on incremental design and fabrication steps. In such
cases, the firm’s inspection team keeps daily logs to
track corrections and plan review changes.

BV’s inspection team also has the capacity to
provide on-call building inspection services to cover
personnel vacation time, peak work loads, specialized
inspection activities, and any other situations which
may arise. These activities may include next-day
inspections and same-day response to important or
urgent requests. BV’s building inspection services can
be adjusted to provide a high level of coordination
specifically suited to the design-build concept.

BV will provide the City with ICC certified personnel
to provide the following services:
• Read and study project specifications, plans, and
drawings to become familiar with project prior to
inspection, ensuring structural or architectural
changes have been stamped as approved by
appropriate authority and recognizing the need
for and requiring plan checks for electrical,
plumbing, and mechanical code requirements.
• Perform and document inspections on
construction projects to determine all aspects
of the project such as foundations, building,
electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems
conform to the applicable building codes, zoning
ordinances, energy conservation, and disabled
access requirements including known local, city,
state, and federal requirements.
• Review plans for building construction, plumbing,
electrical, and mechanical details prior to making
inspection.
• Bring to the attention of the City for approval
of certain changes in building, plumbing,
mechanical, electrical, and related work
consistent with code and ordinance
requirements.
• Participate in reviews with fire, health, and other
government agency inspectors & owners.
• Maintain a record of non-complying items and
follow up to resolution of such items.
• Upon request, the firm will inspect existing
buildings for substandard, unsafe conditions.

Virtual Inspections
BV is able to conduct virtual, no-contact field
inspections in an effort to continue progress at as
many active jobsites as possible for both new and
existing clients. Using interactive technology, our
building inspector will participate in a live session
with the contractor to perform the inspection(s)
remotely through the use of a mobile device. Our goal
is to allow construction to progress while maintaining
a safe environment for all involved through social
separation.

CARE PROGRAM – A PROVEN, FORMALIZED & INTEGRATED PLAN REVIEW PROCESS The plan review process we follow for efficient
completion of concurrent task management is shown
in the flowchart below and managed through our
CARE Program, a formalized and integrated process
whereby Coordination, Analytical, Review, and
Expert management/quality control functions are
consistently implemented on each and every project.

We will implement a comprehensive program based
on best practices to validate that each and every
review is thorough, accurate, consistent, and timely.

This system’s success is based on thousands of hours
of practical, real-world experience by our dedicated
personnel and their unique ability to interact quickly
and efficiently with your staff. The specific roles of
each of our CARE elements include:

Coordinator:

Our clerical personnel will handle various
administrative functions, such as logging information
(project tracking, time budgeting), managing
project controls, maintaining and distributing
communications, reviewing agendas and ordinance
issues, and fielding calls on project status. The

25 I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
BUREAU VERITAS | 220 Technology Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 O 714.431.4100 | www.bvna.com
Coordinator is the first line of contact for each project submittal.

Analyst:

Our analysts will review submittals, title sheets, and
non-design items; maintain files; monitor due dates;
monitor contract budget and status tracking reports;
and coordinate invoicing. Our analysts also maximize
and “right place” personnel resources to meet
turnaround times in a quality manner. When assigning
resubmittals to staff, our Analyst ensures consistency
by passing the project to the same reviewer that
performed the previous reviews. Reassignments are
done when unforeseen circumstances dictate.

Reviewer:

Our experienced building plan reviewers will routinely
review agency standards, ordinances, guidelines,
and checklists; create comments letters; coordinate
project return with the coordinator; attend review
meetings; and communicate questions/solutions
to project stakeholders. Because of our depth of
resources and project tools (checklists, corrections
letters, etc), reassigned projects can be reviewed
without missing deadlines or causing unnecessary
rechecks.

Expert:

BV experts will provide the final quality assurance
review of applicable plans, studies, and reports in
accordance with all accepted engineering, building
codes of different disciplines, Subdivision Map Act,
and industry professional practices. They will comply
with the applicable regulations; visit the client contact regularly; monitor project progress with the reviewer;
disseminate project/agency information to the
team; train team members; peer review comments
letters; and communicate questions/solutions to
stakeholders. Additionally, experts provide quality
assurance reviews to each project which minimizes
the number of resubmittals.

We are familiar with the area and the expectation for quality customer service to the community and residents. ▪ Proximity to City Hall – Willdan's team will be managed and coordinated through our local San Bernardino office, approximately 20 miles from the City’s office – making Willdan conveniently located and responsive to the City’s requests.
▪ Electronic Plan Review – Willdan Engineering offers electronic plan review which reduces foot traffic at City Hall and significantly expedites review as well as reduces shipping and printing costs for the applicant while promoting a paperless environment at no additional cost to the City or permit applicants.
▪ CASp Certified Inspectors and Plans Examiners – Willdan Engineering can provide CASp certified specialists to the City, as required by Senate Bill No. 1608, specifically CHAPTER 549. ▪ Quick Turnaround Times. Willdan has a reputation of providing quality and accurate plan review in a timely manner. We understand that time is of critical importance to the City and to the development community. We are dedicated to meeting normal and “expedited” turnaround deadlines.
▪ Customer Service – Our approach to user-friendly customer service specifically results in reduced number of plan review rechecks and has allowed us to meet the required plan check turnaround time standards of the City.

CITY OF BEAUMONT Building & Safety Plan Check Services

Introduction/Information

It is our understanding that the City of Beaumont is seeking support to assist with as-needed plan review services. In addition, Willdan employs qualified staff to provide inspection and permit technician services on an as-needed basis.

When it comes to serving the residents of the City of Beaumont community, Willdan sees our role as that of facilitator and guide, helping the City’s customers in getting through the review, permitting, and inspection process, rather than leaving the applicant in a bind in obtaining or signing off permits, while ensuring development complies with building codes and City standards. We understand that the process of complying with the various codes, standards, regulations and laws can be a formidable and daunting undertaking for even the most seasoned design or construction professional. Furthermore, an understanding of the complexity associated with processing private development applications and the sometimes-competing interests is essential to exceptional customer service. Competing interests include, but are not limited to, creating a sense of place, achieving economic development objectives, ease of maintenance, and assuring the City will be as satisfied with the infrastructure on day one as 20 years from “day one.” Common sense decision making and technical analysis in interpreting the intent of regulatory guidelines are significant strengths Willdan staff brings to the City.

Local Office/Contact information:

No subcontractors will be employed for these services to the City.

Approach

BUILDING AND SAFETY SERVICES
Willdan’s experience and strength in building and safety encompasses the complete range of technical disciplines, including permit issuance, building inspection, grading inspection, accessibility inspection, CASp services, OSHPD III plan check and inspection, flood zone experience, building plan review, fire-life safety, building official services, code enforcement, and emergency safety assessment expertise. The inspection and plan review staff maintain current certifications and attend training on a regular basis, to stay current with industry technologies and standards. Specific certifications and education are delineated in staff résumés herein.

Our local full-service office is conveniently located approximately 20 miles from City Hall. Plan review staff will be available to meet with customers either at City Hall or at the Willdan office. Staff will also be available by phone and email to discuss specific plan review comments with City staff, applicants, and developers as necessary.

QUALITY CONTROL
Willdan’s electronic plan review portal also serves as a tracking system for all plan review, whether electronic or via hard copy. All plans are logged into the system, assigned to a plans examiner and given a due date.

At the log in phase, the Willdan turnaround time, as per the contract, is noted and becomes a control point for the plan. The control point is established for any recheck turnaround times as well.

Turnaround times are monitored daily.

Plan check office supervisors periodically review plan check corrections for accuracy and thoroughness.

Our plan review staff strives to minimize the number of reviews by meeting with City staff, applicants, developers, etc., to resolve code issues in an effort to move the project along. Reviews past a third check are evaluated by the supervisor as a control point.

Our proven approach is based on years of experience and incorporates features enhancing the efficiency and quality of the following services:
