Energy Compliance
Our engineers and plans examiners are up to date on all California Energy Code requirements as they relate to both new and remodel construction for all project types. Our staff have experience verifying California Energy Code requirements for projects located within all climate zones. The Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non-Residential Buildings were established in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California's energy consumption. These standards have been updated since that time to address a multitude of building components, systems and equipment with the goal of having new and updated buildings be more energy efficient,
comfortable for building occupants, and less reliant of fossil fuels.

Green Building Standards
BPR’s plans examination staff have a working knowledge of the proper incorporation of CALGreen building criteria into project designs and the resulting potential impact of these standards related to building code compliance and the environment. Our plans examiners will review project documents to verify compliance with adopted Green Building Code Standards as required by state law and local amendments and ordinances.

LEED
Developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a framework for identifying and implementing measurable green building design methodologies, construction, operations, and building maintenance. LEED certification consists of a variety of rating systems applicable to multiple building types including commercial as well as residential. Ratings reflect a measure of how well a building performs across many sustainability metrics including: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, indoor environmental quality, energy usage and the projects impact on the local environment.

CODE INTERPRETATIONS
Code interpretations are subject to final review and approval by the Chief Building Official or City designated staff.

Interwest’s engineers and plans examiners will provide unbiased recommendations and background information to help the Building Official or Fire Marshal make an informed decision. All plan review comments are subject to review and approval by the City Building Department.

TRANSPORTING PLANS
Interwest Consulting Group will arrange for all pick-up and delivery of plan review documents from the City at no cost.

Interwest uses varied methods of pick-up and delivery with the goal of providing same-day service.

SPECIAL PROJECTS AND ACCELERATED SERVICES
Interwest is able to accommodate special project plan review needs such as fast-track, multi-phased, or accelerated plan reviews. We establish project-specific turnaround goals and procedures with City staff for these types of projects based on the complexity of the projects as well as the construction schedule. Our staff of engineers and plans examiners will work with the City to resolve all plan review issues. Our staff will deal directly with applicants and their designers during the plan review process to resolve all issues in a collaborative manner to resolve plan review issues as quickly as possible.

COMMUNICATING PLAN REVIEW RESULTS
Plan reviews, when not immediately approved, will result in lists of comments referring to specific details and drawings and referencing applicable code sections. Interwest will provide the City with a clear, concise, and thorough document from which clients, designers, contractors, and owners can work. At the completion of each plan review cycle, Interwest will return an electronic and hard copy of the plan review comment list to the designated applicant and City representative.

Upon completion of the plan review, after all plan review issues have been resolved, Interwest will provide two complete sets of all final documents annotated as “reviewed” to the City for final approval.

ON-SITE CONSULTANT SERVICES & MEETING ATTENDANCE
Our staff is available for pre-construction or pre-design meetings, field visits, contacts with the design team, and support for field inspection personnel as needed. With some reasonable limitations, pre-construction and pre-design meetings associated with projects that we plan review are considered part of the plan review service. Interwest’s engineers and plans examiners will be available to meet with City staff, the design team, applicants, and/or contractors, at the City’s request, to discuss and resolve plan review and code-related issues. We will be available within one (1) business day to respond to questions from the City that may be generated during field inspections for each authorized plan check that is subsequently issued a permit for construction. Voicemails, e-mails, and faxes will be responded to as quickly as possible, always within 24 hours.

ELECTRONIC PLAN CHECK SERVICES
Interwest currently provides electronic plan review services for multiple jurisdictions throughout California, and we are prepared to provide electronic plan checks for the City. We are familiar with many electronic plan review platforms, specifically utilizing Bluebeam. This service allows for access by City staff to the documents.

More and more jurisdictions are seeing the benefits of electronic permit and plan check, especially for large, complex projects. Electronic plan check services deliver many benefits to municipalities, including substantially improved turnaround times; instantaneous comments to the developer, applicant, or architect; secured accessibility to documents; and reduced paper storage. Our staff is experienced in providing electronic plan reviews and can work closely with the City on any electronic plan check software program that is utilized. Our goal is always to collaborate with and support the building department by providing thorough, accurate, and timely plan reviews.

PLAN REVIEW TRACKING METHOD, TRANSPORT, AND BILLING PROCESS Our staff has experience working with most project-tracking databases utilized by building departments. Our staff will update electronic records and make project-related database entries as directed by the City. We will create and maintain a Jurisdiction File containing our research on any unique amendments or specifications required by your jurisdiction, billing arrangements, contact information, and any special requests you would like us to keep in mind.

Interwest uses a custom-designed database to maintain and track all plans throughout the review process from the moment you request a pick-up and/or shipment to the delivery of the final, approved documents. Information such as project name, City’s project number, assigned plan reviewer(s), date documents were received, plan review cycle, and completion date for the current review can be provided. In addition to standard phone communication, custom reports can be emailed. We will transport plans in the method that the City prefers at no cost to the City. Our local Ontario office, which is approximately 11 miles away, will service the City of Fontana.

In addition, we can provide online tracking for the City with a custom-designed web template geared to provide any reporting and information needs required. Our staff is available during standard business hours to answer questions via phone or email regarding the actual plan review in progress. We maintain active email accounts and our staff will be responsive to any City or applicant’s needs. If we cannot speak directly to a caller, we will return calls no later than 24 hours.

Building Inspection Services
Building inspectors qualified to perform residential and commercial inspections can be made available as-needed during normal business hours (40 hours/week). Inspectors can also be flexible to assist during special off-hours by request with advance notice.

The assigned staff will perform inspection services, as needed, to verify that the work of construction is in conformance with the approved project plans as well as identify issues of non-compliance with applicable building and fire codes. Our field inspection services will include site inspections and writing legible and understandable correction and violation notices and field reports. In addition, we will be available to answer in-person or telephone inquiries.

We understand that municipal codes are frequently updated, so we will ensure that the projects we are inspecting are compliant with current code requirements. More specifically, we will ensure compliance with Title 24 California Building Codes, parts 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, covering structural, fire prevention, life safety, disabled access, energy conservation, green building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical installations in residential, commercial, industrial, existing and historic buildings.

Interwest’s ICC / CASp certified inspectors have performed both building and fire inspection services on a wide variety of construction projects including new residential developments, large custom homes, and commercial, institutional, assembly, essential service buildings, and industrial projects. When necessary for large or fast-track projects, multiple inspectors are available.

Interwest’s inspectors will provide field inspections including site inspections of projects to verify conformance with approved drawings and specifications, which will include a review of the permit documents to verify that on-site conditions are consistent with the approved documents for square footage, setbacks, heights, and any other applicable conditions. At the completion of inspections, Interwest’s inspectors will complete all necessary City forms and documents as required to provide seamless service.

We understand that personality and customer service are crucial to on-the-job success; therefore, we have selected inspectors who are well-versed in customer service and skilled in dealing with people both at the public counter and in the field. All inspection personnel assigned will be ICC and/or CASp certified as required. 735

City of Fontana | Proposal for Plan Review and Inspection Services, BS-24-05-SP Schedule
We will consistently complete plan reviews within the required timeframes (or faster!) for the City of Fontana. We work hard to accommodate any turn-around schedule desired by a jurisdiction. Multi-disciplinary reviews are typically performed in our offices but we are available for on-site work when required and whenever possible. We understand both the City and the project applicant are looking for quality reviews within a defined time frame. Our staff will meet or exceed the city’s turnaround time outlined in the RFP.

Bill Hayes, CBO, ICC, Project Manager, will be responsible for managing the time schedule and assuring schedule compliance. Bill will also be in charge of resource allocation of our key personnel committed to the City. We can quickly fine-tune staff or staffing levels to match changes in activity to ensure a high level of customer service is maintained. We have picked staff uniquely qualified and experienced to deliver the exact services requested. In addition, we are skilled at assessing time commitments, developing an accurate work plan and applying dedicated, professional personnel. *Note below, larger commercial projects will be completed within 15-days or as discussed between City and consultant.

MAXIMUM DELIVERY TIMES FOR BUILDING PLAN REVIEW (COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL Quality Control/Quality Assurance
Interwest prides itself in meeting clients’ needs while maintaining a high level of quality control. Our approach is proactive— we prevent quality issues to the greatest extent possible and prepare for other situations in advance by mitigating risk.

To ensure quality, Interwest has implemented a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program where our Project Manager performs random quality evaluations of our staff throughout the year. Interwest’s QA/QC activities include:
• Standardized processes for intake, completion of returned work, email correspondence, review comment letters, and other items to ensure consistency and client satisfaction (e.g., logging review data into each municipality’s system).
• Our Project Manager conducts periodic reviews to ensure completeness, accuracy, and consistency of work performed. • Periodic peer review of plan reviews.
• Staff feedback as necessary for any discrepancies or improvements needed.
• Staff is paid to attend both internal and external training to grow professionally and improve skill sets.
• The Account Manager conducts periodic check-ins with clients for feedback on satisfaction with work performed and services provided.
• Sending periodic customer satisfaction surveys for feedback on work performed and services provided. • Interwest uses both check-ins and surveys to find possible opportunities to improve client satisfaction, work performed, and services provided, as necessary.
• Given Interwest’s comprehensive approach to management and plan review, the probability of risk is low. As part of our QA/ QC process, we ensure that Interwest standards are met. We involve the City in the entire process to maintain transparency.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Our project management approach begins with applying our Plan, Execute, Control, Optimize (PECO) philosophy. The PECO framework, illustrated to the right, is based on our team’s experience and industry best practices endorsed by the Project Management Institute. We identify, prioritize, allocate, manage, and control the work requirements through this singular, integrated method.

Using the PECO framework, the Interwest team delivers a project management approach that combines the right people, processes, and tools to perform the Scope of Services requirements. Our support for the City requires a methodology to operate and maintain all areas of service efficiently. The Interwest team’s process is structured to streamline our resources and provide responsive services. Successful execution of building support services starts with a responsive team structure that can anticipate and address resource needs.

Our team works on multiple tasks simultaneously, and our organizational structure supports the staff in overseeing this process effectively. Our Project Manager, Bill Hayes, CBO, ICC, will ensure overall project performance and completion.

APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION & COORDINATION
One of the keys to the efficient and successful flow of information is clear, effective communication. Everyone involved with a contract of this size and scope must be aware of changes, progress, and challenges. We commit to working with you to determine the best ways to communicate the right information to the right people at the right time. Our priority is to ensure the best possible experience working with our team—with minimum impact on the City and its citizens. Meetings are an integral part of the plan, especially at contract start-up, and involve all applicable staff from the City and Interwest. Everyone involved must be aware of progress and changes they can expect going forward. We will prepare communications that can be shared with all City staff, detailing what to expect during contract transition and moving forward. We work with you to develop a schedule and format to meet your needs for aggregate reporting. Report formats may include monthly, quarterly, and annual reports summarizing activity levels, adherence to performance metrics, and other items of special interest to the City. We ensure our work effort is clearly communicated to the City throughout the contract’s life, adjusting as necessary.

In 2022, Interwest partnered with Rancho Cucamonga in the current review of the new Harvest at Terra Vista Apartments.

This building is approximately 300,000 square feet, including a pool house, club house, and parking structure.

FULL-SERVICE BUILDING SAFETY SERVICES // CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CA In April 2009, Interwest began providing turn-key building safety services to the City of Lake Forest [population 83,000].

Recognizing the value and cost benefits attributable to employing a contract services model, the City has contracted for building safety services since its incorporation in 1991.

Interwest provides a team of on-site professionals that provide all building safety services—blending seamlessly with existing city staff. We provide a full-time building official, building plan reviewers, building inspectors, and a building permit counter technician.

During our tenure, Interwest staff has developed the City’s first single, combination building permit which allowed for the same permit number to address all of a structure’s elements (electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and structural) requiring approval, greatly reducing hours and paperwork. We also introduced several key documents that have allowed staff to efficiently communicate, including a workflow tracking sheet to document approvals, a standardized monthly
report using the City’s EnerGov software, and several of the City’s Building Safety handouts, reflecting current codes and standards.

Civic Center Campus: In April 2018, Interwest began
providing complete turnkey Building and Safety services to the City of Lake Forest, particularly the Civic Center Campus. This 12.5-acre facility is the heart and social center of the Lake Forest community. The Civic Center Campus
is comprised of the City Hall Building, Community Center, Council Chambers, Senior Center, and Parking Structure.

The estimated cost of construction was approximately $60 million.

Although there was no formal RFP process, Interwest was selected to provide all plan check and inspection services.

Our team at Interwest consisted of on-site professionals who delivered complete plan checks, engineering services, inspections, and electrical services. Fred Marzara, who serves as CBO for Lake Forest, was directly involved in the plan review of the parking structure and four other buildings.

One challenge our team faced during implementation
was ensuring the secure placement of the building’s solar panels. Upon inspection, it was discovered that high winds caused the solar panels to continuously be pulled upward and out of place. Our Interwest team quickly reviewed the issue with the building’s architectural designers and after collaborating, found a solution of adding extra pinpoint connectors in addition to the 4 pinpoints the solar panels already had, securing them in place on all sides. The City of Lake Forest was awarded CALBO’s 2018-2019 Building
Department of the Year Award, setting itself apart with excellent and responsive customer service. The City of Lake Forest Building Department has serviced over nine thousand walk-in customers, has performed over twenty-four thousand inspections, and has issued almost three thousand permits. 742

The Interwest Contract and Legal team have carefully reviewed the contract terms presented in the Sample Professional Services Agreement. We respectfully request the following modifications to the agreement terms: text to be added will be represented in blue ink, while text to be deleted will be represented in red strike-out.

12. Indemnification: a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (with counsel of City’s choosing, and selected from Consultant’s insurance carrier’s panel counsel), indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents free and harmless from any and all third-party claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner to the extent arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any negligent acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents in connection with the performance of the Consultant’s services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all damages, expert witness fees and attorney’s fees and other related costs and expenses. Consultant’s obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant, the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, Consultant shall have the right to defend and settle any action for which indemnification is sought, provided that it shall not enter into any settlement that requires an admission of wrongdoing by any indemnitee without that indemnitee’s approval. Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon timely receipt of notice of the claim for which indemnification is sought, such that defense of the claim is not prejudiced, and the reasonable assistance of the indemnitee in connection with the defense of the claim. b. If Consultant’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Consultant’s performance of “design professional” services (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that to the extent that they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant, and, upon agreement of parties or Consultant obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Consultant’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault.

26. Successors and Assigns: This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors in interest, executors, administrators and assigns of each Party to this Agreement. However, Consultant shall not assign or transfer by operation of law or otherwise any or all of its rights, burdens, duties or obligations without the prior written consent of City, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be invalid and void.

Willdan has been a consistent industry leader for more than 59 years providing all aspects of municipal and infrastructure engineering, including building and safety, public works, public financing, planning, and construction management services.

While our exceptional services are presented in this response, listed below are reasons why Willdan is uniquely qualified to provide these services to the City of Fontana. ▪ Demonstrated Competence and Unmatched Jurisdictional Knowledge – Willdan Engineering presently provides building and safety services to a vast number of jurisdictions throughout California.

Since the late 1990’s, we have been providing Building and Safety plan review and inspection services to the City. Our staff has extensive experience working with the City’s procedures and expectations for quality service to the community.
▪ Proximity to City Hall – Willdan's team will continue to be managed and coordinated through our local full-service San Bernardino office, located approximately 10 miles from City Hall – 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.
