RE: Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) | On-Call Plan Review Services Thank you for the opportunity to present this SOQ in response to the City of Cupertino’s Request for Qualifications for On-Call Plan Review Services.

BPR staff have in the past provided building department services for Menlo Park, Atherton, Milpitas, Pleasanton, Berkeley, San Ramon, Fairfield, Dublin and Vallejo.

BPR Consulting Group, privileged to maintain one of the largest and most highly qualified groups of Building and Safety professionals in the Northern California region, offers highly qualified staff holding professional licenses and/or ICC certifications within their chosen field. Our qualified professionals and expertise allow us to assist you and your department to maintain service levels during periods of increased construction activity and staffing fluctuations.

 Providing all services in a cost-effective manner.

APPROACH / METHODOLOGY
Quality Control / Schedule Control
All of BPR Consulting Group’s plan review services are closely managed from the moment a project is assigned to the completion of our services. Once a project is assigned it is entered into our custom designed plan review database. The project documents are then downloaded and triaged for completeness and to identify if any documents necessary for plan review have not been provided. Upon completion of the triage process, plans examiners are assigned as warranted by the proposed work associated with the specific project. All projects are closely monitored to ensure assigned staff have the time necessary in their schedules to comprehensively review assigned projects to maintain completion schedules.

We assign a dedicated team of plans examiners to serve specific clients so your BPR plan review team will remain consistent throughout the term of the agreement. We believe assigning a dedicated team of plans examiners best serves the needs of our clients, and with our firm you will not have randomly assigned plans examiners assigned to each project. All plan review services are closely monitored by our plan review supervisors and managers for consistency, thoroughness, and quality. We utilize a discipline approach to our plan review services, assigning a life safety reviewer, structural reviewer, electrical reviewer, mechanical/plumbing reviewer, grading/utility reviewer and fire reviewer, as appropriate, to each assigned project based on the proposed scope of work. We believe utilizing a discipline approach provides a more comprehensive plan review as each reviewer is a specialist in their discipline. Each plans examiner includes their email address and desk phone number with their plan review comments to facilitate direct and efficient communication between project designers and our professional plans examination staff. Our proposed Plan Review Manager, Bill Rodgers, reviews each project for thoroughness and accuracy prior to plan review comments being issued or prior to recommendation of approval for permit purposes.

Upon award of a contract, our proposed Project Manager will schedule a meeting with the City’s representative to
familiarize our team with the City’s plan review process, methods and style. BPR’s staff of engineers and plans
examiners are experienced in working with multiple
jurisdictions and adjusting so that they become an extension of your staff. We utilize a comprehensive “New Client
Checklist” that documents specific requirements of each community we serve. Upon selection and before
commencement of services, we schedule a meeting with our new clients to review specific plan review requirements and systems used by our clients so our services can be integrated in a seamless manner.

Should issues arise with the plan review services we have provided, our Plan Review Manager will contact City staff to make sure we fully understand the specific issue, review the plan review comment or other item in question, review the concern with our staff member, contact the project applicant if necessary to address the

CITY OF CUPERTINO
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS | ON-C ALL PLAN REVIEW SERVICES B
PR
specific issue, reissue the plan review comment letter if needed, discuss the specific issue with our assigned team of plans examiners to make sure the error in question is not repeated on future projects, and follow up with City staff to explain how the issue in question was resolved. Our Plan Review Manager will take any additional steps necessary to ensure that we continue to provide services that meet or exceed your expectations and are free of errors and omissions.

As noted above, all projects are logged in to our data base and assigned due dates. Our staff and managers all have access to the data base and the due dates are carefully tracked and managed to ensure projects are completed in a timely manner. If a specific project is not approved upon completion of the third plan review our plan review manager will reach out to request and schedule a meeting to review all outstanding plan review issues with the focus of clarifying any plan review related issues so the project documents can be approved.

Special / Accelerated / Fast Track Services
BPR often accommodates special project plan review needs such as fast track, expedited, progressive, or phased plan reviews. We will work closely with the City to establish project specific plan review turn-around goals and procedures. Our staff of architects, engineers and plans examiners will work with the City and project designers, if requested, during the plan review process to resolve all plan review related issues in a constructive, collaborative, and efficient manner.

Phased Plan Review Services
Our plan review team has extensive and recent large project plan review experience. Our collaborative approach for progressive plan review of major projects begins with a meeting with our client’s representative and the design team to discuss permit submittal package schedules, proposed deferred approvals, proposed alternates, and any potential challenges that may face the project.

We believe the iterative phased plan review process described below fosters a sense of teamwork amongst project stakeholders and promotes a linear plan review process that minimizes potential delays due to redesign. Our phased plan review process is briefly summarized below:
 Initial review of the 100% design development documents with the focus of identifying significant code- related design issues early in the plan review process. We focus on the Building Code analyses (the OSFM 20-point list, for example), structural system selection, egress and access challenges, and other “big-ticket” items that could slow down the plan review process. These are typically a “one-and-done” review with responses to our comments not necessary although we encourage the design team to contact our reviewer to discuss any issues of concern or that create practical difficulties.  Review of the 50% construction document phase where we perform a closer code level review focused on identifying issues of noncompliance with applicable building codes while understanding the project design is not yet completed.
 Review 95% to 100% construction documents – often the first formal review - where we perform a final code review and, when needed, schedule meetings with project designers to discuss and resolve outstanding plan review issues.

Commitment to Analysis and Innovation
With many years of experience working for multiple building departments throughout California, our staff have gained an understanding that all California building departments
perform the same basic services tailored to the needs of their specific communities. This broad experience has also allowed us the opportunity to participate in the delivery of building department services in unique and innovative ways. Our staff meets on a regular basis and part of each discussion is the sharing of innovative processes that increase efficiencies and some that don’t. Our team of building safety professionals are always looking for ways to improve efficiencies and delivery of services for our clients. We share our experiences and ideas with the clients we serve to help improve efficiencies in service delivery and, more importantly, the “client experience “ for the communities we serve.
