Incoming Project
• When plan review services are performed off-site, within the local offices of our firm, WC 3 will serve Foster City with electronic plan submittals, accepting and delivering plans back and forth via email attachments as well as links to electronically formatted documents stored elsewhere.
WC3 will adapt to any preferred software systems of Foster City.
WC3 Processing
• An account information file, specific to the City is created to identify items inherent and of interest to the City. This file will be maintained and utilized during each and every project, ensuring potential concerns are always addressed.
• Upon notification of projects and receipt/download of electronic plan submittal, projects are uploaded and logged into WC3’s own internal eProcess360 software platform and Client/ Regional Managers are automatically notified to begin the plan check process.
Plan Check
• WC3 will check submitted docs for completeness; inform the City of any missing information; review plans to understand the scope and task; identify significant code items and discuss important items with associated sta ff.
• Client/Regional Manager will assign WC3 plan examiner staff and monitor progress. • Client/Regional Manager will quality check all comments before release to the City.
Communication
• WC3 understands all plan review comments are subject to the review by the City. • Review comments will have plan sheet numbers, detail numbers, and code sections. • WC3 will work with Foster City's preferred method of communication and be available via email, phone or in-person for meetings, etc.
• The City will always have the same points of contact for WC 3. • The comment structure in our plan review comment lists will be easily transitioned into the format of the City's preference.
• Copies of all plans check comments and all other correspondence from the plans examiner to the applicant shall be sent directly to Foster City via email.
Recheck
• Documents are resubmitted to begin the recheck process. WC 3 requires a written response addressing each and every plan check item or comment.
• Rechecks will be assigned to the same plans examiner who performed original review. • Any new comments to be included during the recheck cycle will be brought to the attention of the Client/Regional Manager.
• All plans examiners are encouraged to call and to resolve concerns, rather than adding additional corrections and comment lists.
• Rechecks are performed quickly and timely. Our turnaround schedule is highlighted in the upcoming section regarding "Typical Plan Review Turnaround Schedule." Approval
• Plan review approval will not be recommended to the City until all code compliance issues are resolved and all permit issuance requirements of the department are satisfied. • WC3 is flexible and will meet all Foster City project approval requirements, including but not limited to, “Plans Examiner of Record” approval stamps, electronic submittals, paper/hard copies, quantity of copies, pick-up/delivery and more.

WC3 comprehensive plan reviews are performed in a prompt and expeditious manner to meet our jurisdictional clients’ needs. WC3 is able to commit to performing plan review deliverables within timeline expectations that meet or beat industry standards. When workloads get tight, WC3 is able take advantage of schedule availability in additional Regional Offices and benefit from the knowledge and expertise shared across multiple disciplines. All turnaround times are specified from the day they are received in our office(s) and for extraordinarily complex projects, WC 3 will immediately contact Foster City and agree on an appropriate response time prior to starting the review.
EXPEDITED APPROACH TO PLAN REVIEW SERVICES
Expedited or accelerated plan review can be accommodated upon request at anytime from Foster City. The expedited plan review process is a means to accelerate initial plan reviews by experienced plans examiners, and when it comes to expedited plan review services, WC 3’s typical plan review process is extremely easy to adapt. Clients simply need to submit projects according to standard protocols with a note highlighting that a project is to be expedited. In this case, the quality of WC3’s expedited plan review services do not change. WC3 will allocate additional staffing as necessary, and as available, in order to meet the City's expedited deadlines. WC 3 shall provide initial comments, including corrections to be made to the construction documents, within an expedited turnaround time of five to ten (5-10) business days from the date the submittal was received by our team. Subsequent reviews following initial expedited reviews may also be expedited at each client’s discretion; however subsequent reviews are typically completed in a timely manner and will be reviewed in the order in which they are received.
TYPICAL INSPECTION TURNAROUND SCHEDULE
Inspections shall be performed during Foster City's regular business hours. Our inspection services include a commitment to making inspectors available for standard, routine inspection needs associated with projects. Standard turnaround for inspection requests will be scheduled accordingly with 48-hour advance notice and when the schedule allows, WC 3 will make every effort to accommodate emergency or same-day inspection requests. Additionally, when special needs arise, inspectors can also be made available for after-hour, weekend and holiday inspections as well.
