Update on Dismissed Fireworks Citations for 2024-2025 Illegal Fireworks Suppression Detail

BACKGROUND
Each year for the past five years, the City has enacted the Illegal Fireworks Suppression Plan to address the illegal firework activity that occurs during the 4th of July holiday. The suppression detail includes bringing in additional deputies during the holiday solely to issue citations to individuals that are in possession of or using illegal fireworks. Every year, several dozen fireworks citations are issued by deputies and the citizens that receive these citations have the option to simply pay the fine or to contest the issued citations.

At the April 6th, City Council meeting Mayor Pullen-Miles and Mayor Pro Tem Cuevas inquired as to how many fireworks citations were contested from the 2025 Illegal Fireworks Suppression Detail. This purpose of this report is to provide City Council with a responsive update.

STAFF REVIEW
Administrative citations are issued to individuals that use or possess illegal fireworks within the City of Lawndale. Only fireworks identified as "Safe and Sane" are permitted to be sold in the City. Use of "Safe and Sane" fireworks in the City is limited to the July 4th holiday, between the hours of noon and midnight.

Any use of fireworks that are not classified as "Safe and Sane" as well as use of that type of fireworks outside of the established window of time are considered illegal and subject to a citation and fine. Any person that receives an administrative citation may either pay the fine or challenge that citation. Challenges may be made through the administrative hearing process hosted by the City of Lawndale or through the Los Angeles County Superior Court system. Both of these options may be utilized for any citation issued within the City by Lawndale staff.

During the 2024 Illegal Fireworks Suppression Detail, there were 33 citations issued by deputies for illegal fireworks usage. 10 of the 33 citations were contested via administrative hearing, with 2 of those contested citations being dismissed.

During the 2025 Illegal Fireworks Suppression Detail, there were 33 citations issued by deputies for illegal fireworks usage. 12 of the 33 citations were contested via administrative hearing, with 7 of those contested citations being dismissed.

Additionally, since the enhanced fine schedule was implemented there have been two (2) citations taken to the Los Angeles County Superior Court small claims court. One of the citations filed with the court was issued three years ago on July 4th, 2023, and the second was issued last year on July 4th, 2025. Both of those citations were dismissed by the Los Angeles Superior Court.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed this staff report and approves it to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this staff report.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file this report.

DATE: April 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Raylette Felton, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Hrant Manuelian, Finance Director/City Treasurer SUBJECT: Quarterly Investment Report for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

BACKGROUND
The attached Quarterly Investment Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, is provided to City Council per the City of Lawndale’s Investment Policy and State of California’s Government Code Section 53646.

STAFF REVIEW
As of March 31, 2026, the City had total cash and investments (cost basis) of $62,260,368 plus $2,054,905 cash with fiscal agent held in a trust for the Lawndale Redevelopment Agency’s Tax Allocation Bond 2009 issue, $1,150 in petty cash and $814,656 maintained in two retirement enhancement plans for PARS.

The Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady and has not made any adjustments since December 2025.

The next scheduled Federal Reserve meeting is April 29, and currently it is expected that the Fed will not cut rates. The State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) had an interest rate of 4.31% on March 31, 2025, and decreased to 3.82% as of March 31, 2026. Rates going forward are generally expected to remain stable as we continue to experience high inflation rates. Inflation continues to remain high at over 3%. We continue to maintain a majority of cash in LAIF and the City’s checking account. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the City has remained very liquid with 72.90% of our portfolio in on-demand accounts.

The remainder of the portfolio includes 5.53% short-term (maturing in less than one year), 7.57% mid-term (one to three years maturity), and 14% long-term (maturing from three to five years) investments.

The City’s investments continue to remain intact and have not been affected by this volatility. We do not expect there to be any significant changes to our investments as we only purchase securities that we know we can hold on to until maturity at which time we will receive the full amount of the principal back from the issuer. As the market continues to change we will keep a close watch and take advantage of any upcoming investments. Cash in bank will be monitored and is expected that more will be used to purchase either bonds or CD’s to take advantage of interest to the extent possible. For the current quarter which will ending June 30, 2026 there is one CD that will expire. There was one agency bond that was called on 04/15/2026, which has since been replaced with another agency bond. The goal is to maintain a healthy balance of cash while maximizing returns.

The investment program provides sufficient liquidity to meet six months of estimated expenditures. All investments are in compliance with California state code 503600 and the City of Lawndale Investment policy.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed this staff report and has approved it as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Quarterly Investment Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Consideration of Award of Contract Services Agreement for Building and Safety Services

BACKGROUND
On April 20, 1964, the County of Los Angeles and the City formally entered into an agreement for building plan check and inspection services for the enforcement of Building Code, Plumbing Code, and Electrical Code. A copy of the original contract is attached as Exhibit A (Agreement).

In November 2025, executive staff from the County's Department of Public Works informed the City of their intent to terminate the Agreement effective July 1, 2026. They advised that they were providing the City (and other cities in the same situation) with advance notice prior to issuing the contractual written notification, which the City is expected to receive sometime in May 2026, as required to terminate the Agreement.

The County currently charges approximately $35,000-$40,000 a month to provide building plan check and inspection services to ensure that all construction, additions, and remodels comply with the applicable building, structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical codes to protect the safety and general welfare of the Lawndale community. In addition, the City spends an additional $10,000 - $11,000 a month for a Community Development Technician through 4 Leaf Inc., to supplement the County personnel and provide timely service.

Highlighted below are the services and personnel contracted for with the County:

One Combination Building Inspector -
5 hours a day of billable services
6 building inspections per day (note, some inspections could take an hour) Up to 2 hours a day to interface with customers and residents for general inquiries and inspection notes and prepare of daily inspections.

One Senior Civil Engineering Assistant -
Currently working 10 to 20 hours per week to review City projects for structural and building code compliance
Currently, the Plan Check Engineer sets aside 4 hours once a week to interface with customers and residents regarding project inquires and general inquiries.

One Building Official - Assist in the day to day operations for approximately 2 hours of billable charges per week.

On December 1, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to initiate the Request for Proposals (RFP) process to solicit proposals from qualified consultants to provide building and safety services for part time building official, plan check engineers, and combination (structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, etc) building inspections.

STAFF REVIEW
In January 2026, the RFP was initiated to obtain proposals from qualified firms to provide the same leave of services and staffing provided by the County. The City received a total of seven (7) proposals from the following private engineering firms:
4Leaf, Inc
BPR Consulting
Bureau Veritas
CSG
Interwest
Transtech
Willdan Engineering
While all of the firms are qualified, the City received two proposals (Willdan Engineering and Interwest) that were the most responsive and had structural pricing similar to how the County charges the City for services.

This similar pricing structure is expected to keep the cost to replace the County's services fairly similar. For comparison's purposes, a chart is provided below to compare the costs of the County, Willdan, and Interwest.

Hours/week Willdan Interwest LA County
Plan Checker 20 $3,100.00 $3,300.00 $2,960.00
Building Inspector 20 $2,400.00 $2,900.00 $3,340.00
Building Official 5 $825.00 $900.00 $1,090.00
Liability Insurance (3.5%) N/A N/A $346.85
$6,325.00 $7,100.00 $7,736.85
Annual Cost $328,900.00 $369,200.00 $402,316.20
City staff interviewed four of the seven engineering firms (Willdan, Interwest, 4Leaf, and Transtech). Based on the interviews conducted, all of the engineering firms are expected to improve the Community Development's backlog of first rounds of structural plan checks and re-submittals. The County's review timeline has increased recently to 6-8 weeks for initial review. This is substantially longer than other jurisdictions not using the County have been seeing recently. Willdan's proposed plan check review time frames are:

Single Family Residential
New construction - 10 business days
Addition/Remodel - 5 business days
Resubmittals - 5 business days
Multi-Family Residential
New construction - 10 business days
Addition/Remodel - 5 business days
Commercial (tenant improvement) - 10 business days
The City will also utilize the selected professional engineering firm to provide on call engineers, when applicable, to review geotechnical, grading, land surveying, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing plans on as needed basis.

Community Development recommends that the City Council consider approving the Professional Contract Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering. Wildan has over 60 years of nationwide engineering experience in building and safety service. Their experience and expertise, coupled with their proposals shows that they have the ability to fulfill the City's needed building and safety services at the best price.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
In staff's analysis, Willdan's RFP proposal is the least expensive proposal when compared to both the County and other firms.

Fees generated from the review and processing of building permits are expected to cover the City's expense to provide the services. Selection of a private engineering firm is not expected to cause any negative fiscal impact to the City's General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Review and discuss the Request for Proposal for full Building and Safety Services to replace the services provided by L.A. County;

2. Approve a Professional Contract Services Agreement between the City of Lawndale and Willdan Engineering for Building and Safety Services, in a form approved by the City Attorney's Office;

3. If necessary, authorize the City Attorney Office to make minor edits based on any direction from the City Council to the Professional Service Agreements; or

4. Provide further direction to staff, if necessary.

We have provided plan review and inspection services for thousands of residential projects, tenant improvements, and complex commercial projects including marijuana facilities office campuses, parking garages, hotels/resorts, transportation facilities, city/county-owned buildings, universities, hospitals, sports arenas, infrastructure, essential service facilities, solar projects, and laboratories.

SECTION 1D: DETAILED WORK PLAN
Plan Review Services
4LEAF will provide Plan Review for any and all types of structures to ensure compliance with all adopted codes, local ordinances (including Tier 1 of Cal Green, if required) and State and federal laws that pertain to Building and Safety, and for compliance with the adopted International Code Council (ICC) Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, National Fire Protection codes and standards, and the Accessibility and Noise and Energy Conservation requirements as mandated by the State of California Title 24, State of California Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, the State of California Certified Access Specialist (CASp) compliance, and all other applicable codes / ordinances. We provide these services for project types including Single-Family Dwellings, large Multi-Family Mixed-Use Dwelling Units, Commercial, and Industrial. Our team will provide one (1) OnSite/Remote Plan Review Engineer and one (1) On-Site/Remote ICC Certified Plans Examiner to support the City’s staffing needs currently provided by LA County.

Approach
We understand that the specific building plan review responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

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.

Proposal to Provide Building and Safety Services to the City of Lawndale Page 19 Section 1D: Detailed Work Plan January 20, 2026
QA/QC 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 the City or as directed by the City. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include the following information: 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 processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our letter of completion.

Proposal to Provide Building and Safety Services to the City of Lawndale Page 20 Section 1D: Detailed Work Plan January 20, 2026
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’s predesignated contacts.

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 structural, life-safety, accessibility, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, and local codes/ordinances.

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 and timely turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.

Additional Technologies
Having served approximately 500 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. Additional technologies include, but are not limited to:

Public Assistance
All building permits and plan reviews will be tracked for expeditious processing, considering legal timelines and response time to the Department’s requests from applicants, outside agencies, and other City departments. At a minimum, project milestone estimates and dates shall be tracked. In addition, the City will be tracking data regarding workload, processing times and associated costs of the Department’s operations. These performance metrics will be used to evaluate 4LEAF’s performance. Some enhanced performances are:
• Questionnaires rating our customer service satisfaction • Report the response time related to the type of call. • Monitor and report the response time of 4LEAF staff.

Placement Schedule
Building Department Staff Interim Full-Time
Permit Technician (ICC Certified) < 2 Days < 5 Days
Assistant Permit Technician/ Counter Staff < 2 Days < 5 Days Building Official < 2 Days < 15 Days
Supplemental Permitting Services – 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 onand off-site during this process and offer extensive training to existing municipal staff members on the use of a jurisdiction’s preferred permitting software.

Inspection Services
4LEAF has a team of more than 200 ICC Certified Building Inspectors, OSHPD/DSA Inspectors of Record, Fire Personnel, and Construction Inspectors working on various contracts. 4LEAF has a team committed to work throughout California who will remain for the duration of projects to ensure we capture the goals and performance that have made our inspection system successful. Utilizing our extensive resources and personnel pool we are more than capable of providing the City with one (1) Combination Building Inspector and additional staffing as needed.

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. Our on-call database is utilized for all our clients for as-needed requests.

Periodic Inspection Services  Available Next Day
4LEAF can fulfill inspection requests immediately upon request including same day. 4LEAF has a wealth of local and available inspectors ready to serve the City. In addition, 4LEAF has a proven track record of providing such services to a number of different building departments.

Part-Time Inspection Services  Available Next Day
4LEAF will provide the City with part-time inspectors upon request. 4LEAF can provide part-time staff within 24 hours of request for any duration of time. 4LEAF’s Project Manager will work closely with the department to identify the right personnel and determine the appropriate work schedule.

Full-Time Inspection Services  Available Two Days or Less 4LEAF can provide full-time inspectors upon request. 4LEAF provides this service regularly to many clients throughout Southern California, Northern California, Central Valley, Central Coast, Sacramento Valley, Peninsula/South Bay, East Bay, and North Bay.

Project Specific Inspection Services  Available Two Days or Less 4LEAF is often tasked with providing inspection services to large projects on behalf of municipalities. 4LEAF currently handles large-scale projects for such clients as the City of Palo Alto, City of Cupertino, etc. These projects are developer funded into a separate City account which is distributed to 4LEAF using a separate invoice and contract number. This is particularly helpful to fast paced projects looking for continuous inspection services over a short period of time (i.e. 6 - 36 Months).

Inspection Technology
4LEAF has extensive experience working with various inspection reporting technologies, including elas.™ and GoFormz which 4LEAF used this for all scopes of the Apple 2 Campus (~$8 Billion), and for the Encore Boston Harbor Casino (~$2.6 Billion), San Mateo County Project Development Unit (~$1.1 Billion), and at San Jose State University (~$1 Billion). Innovative technology allows every piece of information collected on a project to be accessible by all staff as every inspection report is stored securely and safely in the cloud. The information can be accessed through a user’s web account where any inspection report can be viewed, and reports can be ran using stored project data. With inspection technology, 4LEAF inspectors are able to leave detailed notes under the inspections and observations box and instantaneously attach pictures to reports to show the items inspected. By means of an iPad, inspectors sign reports using a mobile signature block and attached pictures of the item inspected. elas.™ Page View

Mr. Peter Kann
Community Development Director
City of Lawndale
14717 Burin Ave.

Lawndale, CA 90260
RE: Proposal to Provide Building Safety Division Services | RFQ #23-021 Dear Mr. Kann,
BPR appreciates this opportunity to present our proposal in response to the City of Lawndale’s RFP for Building Safety Services. We understand that the City of Lawndale seeks an experienced and qualified firm to assume responsibility for the operation and management oversight of the City’s Building and Safety services, and to provide the range of expertise needed to perform the normal dayto-day operational functions including Building Division Administration, Building Plan Check, Building Inspection and Building Counter Operations. We also understand the City has contracted with the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works – Building and Safety Division for these services since 1964 and thus is seeking a firm experienced in the transition process to ensure a smooth and seamless changeover to a new provider. Not only has BPR provided these same services to many Southern California municipalities with highly experienced and qualified staff, BPR provides a thoughtful, customized approach to the provision of building safety services based on specific local knowledge, a deep understanding of the successful transition process, and a commitment to consistency, dependability and client satisfaction.

As our proposal will demonstrate, our talented staff of Plans Examiners, Building Inspectors, Permit Technicians, Licensed Engineers, and CASp experts have extensive experience providing building division services similar to those being requested by the City of Lawndale. BPR’s staff members have previous experience providing these services for numerous public agencies throughout the State of California including the southern California Cities of Gardena, Redondo Beach, Bell Gardens, Maywood, El Monte, Anaheim, Ontario, Pomona, Fontana, Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga, Eastvale, Murrieta, Garden Grove, Laguna Beach and Corona, and the Counties of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego, to name just a few.

BPR’s staff of over 110 well-qualified and experienced building safety personnel provide high quality, thorough plan review, inspection, permit technician and building department administration services

QUALITY CONTROL / SCHEDULE CONTROL
All of BPR Consulting Group’s plan review services are
closely managed from the moment a project is assigned
to 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; 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, Roger Peterson, 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 the team with the City’s current plan review, plan distribution, and inspection process and methods. BPR’s staff of engineers and plans examiners are experienced in working with multiple jurisdictions and adjusting their services 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 and inspection requirements and systems used by our clients so our services can be integrated in a seamless manner.

CITY OF MALIBU

PLAN CHECK AND PERMITTING SERVICES FOR POST FIRE

RECOVERY AND REBUILD ASSISTANCE
BV has completed plan review and inspection of various building types for the City of Malibu, including playing an instrumental role in the fire recovery efforts in the wake of the 2018 Woolsey Fires and now the 2025 Palisades Fire. Due to the community’s geographical location along the Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu falls in the high fire severity zone and special high wind region. The community is also subject to coastal grading, increasing the impact of high waves. Special construction considerations are needed to address these conditions. BV jas beem tasked with plan reviews, including architectural—structural, grading, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing—of single-family homes and commercial buildings throughout the City of Malibu, as well as set up and staffing of a special permit center to help quickly meet the needs of the community in the rebuilding efforts. BV helped to facilitate and fully staff a Fire Disaster Recovery Permit Center to rebuild more than 450 structures destroyed in the fires. The BV team has performed comprehensive plan reviews for the City of Malibu and addressed the City’s risky geographical conditions, which resulted in the need for septic systems and specialized training. BV inspection services have also been provided to cover a temporary leave of absence, which extended to a longer assignment.

Key Impacts in City of Malibu:
• Processed over 450 fire recovery permits within 12 months, adhering to expedited timelines for disaster recovery. • Improved plan accuracy by integrating an early QA/QC process, resulting in a 20% reduction in resubmittals. • BV’s ProTrack system facilitated real-time tracking of 450+ plan reviews and inspections, enabling the city to meet tight post-disaster recovery timelines. This tool also generated automated weekly reports, which improved communication between BV and city staff.

IAS AC251 Accreditation
In October 2010, Bureau Veritas proudly became the first company to achieve accreditation under the International Accreditation Service (IAS) Third-Party Permitting, Plan Review, and Inspection BUREAU VERITAS 220 Technology Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 P 949.860.4800 | www.bvna.com

EXPERIENCE, AND REFERENCES
Service Providers Accreditation Program (AC 251). AC 251 outlines requirements for the accreditation of third-party nongovernmental providers of building department services and thus recognizes the important role 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 the outstanding safety record of buildings in the U.S., as compared to buildings elsewhere in the world, is maintained. Building departments can use the IAS program to verify the companies they hire are qualified to provide building safety services for the jurisdiction. For Bureau Veritas, accreditation is a way to provide independent verification of its established quality procedures and best practices which have been an integral part of the company since its founding in 1828.

For Bureau Veritas to achieve IAS accreditation, evaluators assessed Bureau Veritas across several distinct categories including code administration, construction codes, plan review processes, professional credentials and licensing, and inspection procedures. In addition, IAS also assessed critical elements of the services provided to jurisdictions such as contract details, operational procedures and plans, and fiscal year budgets. The International Accreditation Service is a nonprofit, internationally recognized accreditation body and a subsidiary of the International Code Council (ICC). IAS accredits building departments, thirdparty building department service providers, special inspection agencies, product certification agencies, inspection programs for metal building manufacturers, fabricator inspection programs, testing and calibration laboratories, inspection agencies, training agencies, curriculum developers, and field evaluation bodies.

When tasked with reviewing plans for large-scale, mixed-use developments, BV faced challenges related to compliance with evolving state energy conservation requirements. By leveraging CALGreen-certified personnel and conducting joint training sessions with city staff, BV streamlined the review process, reducing project delays.

Example - City of Corona:

INTEGRATION PLAN
During the firm’s 51 year tenure, the BV team has had the opportunity to observe, replicate, develop, and successfully implement streamlined processes and best practices which produce efficient and cost-effective results.

Building safety in a community begins with adopting a proven set of building safety codes. But, it takes much more than a set of codes to protect the public. It requires qualified professionals to implement the day-to-day application of said codes. It also requires proven infrastructure to provide the resources and training necessary to keep the building safety professionals up-todate with the latest building safety requirements and enforcement practices.

As declared by the International Code Council, a successful code administration program achieves:
• Reduced risk of tragedy caused by natural disasters and fires • Investment protection for property owners; and
• Insurance premium sustainability
The BV team pledges to provide its clients with a successful code administration program with qualified and experienced code professionals and a proven infrastructure. To achieve a cohesive and seamless process, the firm has developed the following 4-PHASE guideline for delivering services.

The firm’s approach to achieving the tasks not only involves the technical aspect of its service, but it also includes the human aspect.

The primary goal of Phase 1: Identify and
meet with the City’s key stakeholders and
gather an in-depth understanding of the
City’s current processes and procedures.
• Identify staff / responsibilities
• Document contact information
• Identify project tracking system
• Identify City’s ideal processes /
procedures and detect opportunites
for improvements
• Develop planning and implementation

• Identify department services
• Evaluate department needs
• Identify City codes and ordinances
• Gather City zoning ordinances and

Support the established culture throughout the City and community
Community character is conveyed by not only grand buildings and public spaces but a whole range of elements: residences of all sizes and scale; commercial, government, and institutional buildings; street cross-sections; street furniture and graphics; public places, large and small; ceremonial buildings; informal activities such as street markets and fairs; and the food, language, and personalities which contribute to a community’s narrative.

In an effort to adopt the spirit and proud nature of the community, BV employees are encouraged to regularly support and participate in local activities and events. The firm will strive to preserve and enhance the local identity, uniqueness, and culture of the City and its community. The BV team will adopt the policies, processes, and procedures for the Building Department which reinforce the underlying philosophy and vision already established.

INTEGRATION PLAN EXAMPLES
The Irvine office has been involved with migration of plan check services from another consultant with numerous jurisdictions such as the City of La Palma (2022), City of Laguna Woods (2020) which is located in the County of Orange and with the City of Redlands (2019) which is located in the County of San Bernardino.

BV implemented the integration plan to implement our new plan check services and they were quite successful.

In addition, BV has been providing full building services to the City of Santa Rosa after the major fire disaster that impacted the community in late 2017. Please see additional details on the following page.

The Implementation Phase is the
performance phase. This is where BV will
put into place the procedures developed
in collaboration with City staff to ensure
seamless extension.
• Establish plan review procedures
• Establish inspection procedures
• Obtain project tracking system
training, if needed
• Establish billing processes
• Establish staff goals and objectives
that align with City goals and
expectations
IMPLEMENTATION - ESTABLISH 3
Phase 4 has been established as the
Monitoring Phase. This phase will let
BV know if the firm is meeting the City’s
expectations and service needs, and to
adjust the procedures accordingly.
• Review plan review procedures
• Review inspection procedures
• Measure customer service
• Monitor permit activity
• Update City information
• Provide solutions
• Ongoing weekly and monthly
meetings with City to measure
performance, refine objectives and
discuss upcoming projects and
initiatives to positively impact on the

Strategic Plan:

In the wake of this devastating fire that impacted the community in October 2017 and destroyed more than 3,000 residential structures and 30 commercial buildings, the City faced challenges with staffing a permit center dedicated to the rebuilding efforts, while continuing to meet the traditional workloads of usual development and construction.

Budgetary/Financial: Economic recovery working within City’s budget to maximize operational and customer service enhancements during the fire rebuild.

ACTION PLAN
Action Item 1: Develop an onsite team including a project manager, plan reviewers, permit technicians, inspectors, and customer service to fully service the city and the community for the rebuild process.

Result:

Created a fully staffed center focused specifically on the rebuild process.

Decreased the City’s workload which enabled the rebuild process to operate on an expedited time frame.

Action Item 2: Introduce electronic plan check for the rebuild department.

Result:

Helped homeowners move swiftly through the plan check process, reducing the need for excess time and expenditures during the plan check process.

Action Item 3: Introduced expedited time frames for all rebuild departments. Plan checks were performed on a 5-day turnaround for first time reviews and a 3-day turnaround for resubmittals. Inspections were performed next day for all rebuilds.

Result:

Allocating resources specifically for the rebuild allowed homeowners and contractors to complete the rebuild process in an expedited time frame (2 years).

Upon completion of the plan review process and when it has been determined all comments have been addressed in the plans, the firm shall issue a letter to the City recommending issuance of the respective permit(s).

BV’s proposed team familiarizes themselves with the requirements of a public agency before beginning a review. The firm has extensive public sector experience, which assures the public’s interests are fully protected. BV believes technical competence, while expected, is not enough. Experience and careful, thorough consideration of issues and impacts is needed in addition to the purely technical considerations. The firm has devoted a great deal of time and effort over the years to refining its approach and developing documentation to assist clients and train staff in understanding plan review procedures.

BV will work to ensure 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 the firm’s TMS database, processed, and returned on time to the City. BV’s 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 the firm will:
• Screen and log each application to assure they are
routed to all plan reviewers in a timely manner. The
log serves as a tracking device to assure turnaround
times and completeness of the review.
• Submittals are reviewed for compliance with all
relevant state and jurisdictional requirements.
• 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. • Provide a thorough Building (Structural), Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, and Fire (including sprinklers
and alarms) review of design drawings and details for
compliance with the Building Code architectural provisions, including provisions for safety glazing, building security, and noise insulation performance standards, to name a few.

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 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, remote meetings using platforms such as Zoom or other online forums, or meetings at project sites are welcomed to assure any plan check issues are handled efficiently. We propose to meet at the Growth Management Department 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

INSPECTION METHODOLOGY
BV can provide the The City with ICC certified personnel who will adhere to the following procedure to deliver building inspection 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

50 DETAILED WORK PLAN
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, County, 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, as well as 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.

INSPECTIONS APPROACH
The BV team has a two-step approach to ensuring the delivery of high quality services. BV is subject to regular controls and audits by authorities and accreditation bodies to ensure that its procedures, the qualifications of its personnel and its management systems comply with the applicable standards, norms, references or regulations. To maintain the accreditations and certifications, quality assurance methods are built into every function of our service. Quality assurance is achieved through a number of systems and tools.
• Service goals for timeliness, quality and
professionalism are defined and tracked
• Training and education is required
• Random audits are performed
• Documented procedures are accessible,
monitored, and updated
• Utilization of North America Management System (NAMS) and Corrective Action Response System (CARSys)
One of the tools BV uses is NAMS. NAMS is a means to obtain BV’s objectives of quality excellence as prescribed by the BV business model. In order to achieve our goals, BV has implemented processes and procedures intended for application at all levels of the organization.

The management system has been implemented and maintained with the aim of satisfying our customer’s needs and expectations.

In order for NAMS to be effective, the policies and procedures are implemented, continuously monitored and updated.

The customer feedback is provided through a variety of avenues, examples include the use of a satisfaction survey or face-to-face/ on-site communication.

Once the customer feedback has been received, the management team then analyses, measures, and implements the improvements required for quality excellence. The cycle continues until needs and expectations have been satisfied.

BV also utilizes the CARSys Issues Tracking program. CARSys is an improvement tool, which provides a closed-loop process for the management of customer and internal concerns and corrective/ preventative actions that result from the concerns or issues. With the flexibility of CARSys, BV is able to Identify, Act, Implement and Verify issues.

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. 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. 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
BUREAU VERITAS 220 Technology Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618 P 949.860.4800 | www.bvna.com
51 DETAILED WORK PLAN
• 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 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.

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 on the next page 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 Coordinator is the first line of contact for each project submittal.

Analyst: Our analysts will review submittals, title sheets, and nondesign 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, 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.

3 B. FINANCIAL CONDITION
CSG was formed in the early 1990’s and is an employee-owned, multi-disciplinary engineering firm. CSG has a very stable economic base and workforce as a result of its two primary and complementary service lines, building/fire department services and engineering. CSG has grown steadily in both revenue and staff size and now has over 350 employees serving customers throughout California and Nevada. The company’s compensation and benefit plans are some of the most generous in the industry, which helps CSG maintain very low staff turnover. CSG is debt-free and has a commercial bank line of credit that is available to use. CSG has no pending litigation relevant to the services requested by the City. In addition, we have had no contract defaults, bankruptcies, or mergers; and we have no impending mergers. CSG opened a new office in Paso Robles in 2022. The Orange office relocated to Irvine in 2025. CSG is wellpositioned to serve the City. Upon selection of this work, CSG can provide further details regarding its financial stability upon request.

Litigation History
The following are the legal issues relevant to the City’s requested services which have occurred in the past five years:

City of Half Moon Bay v. CSG Consultants, Inc. et al. (Case # 17-CIV-00387) The City of Half Moon Bay filed this case against the City’s contractor, the Contractor’s bonding company, and CSG. This case arose out of faulty construction by a contractor who had gone bankrupt.

The contractor was hired for construction of a segment of bike trail in Half Moon Bay, and the City alleged that there were defects in the construction of a walking trail. The case was settled with the City in April 2019 for $200,000.

Stephen Estrella v. City of South San Francisco Code Enforcement, a Public Entity, et al. (Case #20-CIV05257).

A CSG employee was driving his personal vehicle and allegedly drove over Stephen Estrella’s foot while the CSG employee was working for the City of South San Francisco. A claim was made against the CSG employee’s auto insurance, and damages were paid. On November 24, 2020, a lawsuit was filed against the City of South San Francisco and CSG for the same incident. The case was settled for $300,000 and closed on February 23, 2024.

Every plan examination is in the capable hands of a licensed Civil or Structural Engineer or an ICC-Certified Plans Examiner, so you know you are receiving expert guidance. We can draw on our regional offices for those more complex projects or during busy periods to ensure everything flows seamlessly.

Our plans examiners are not just knowledgeable about the latest building codes and review procedures; they are also committed to finding quick solutions to any challenges that arise. We take pride in our collaborative approach, working closely with project applicants to swiftly identify and resolve code violations or issues with local ordinances.

With thorough plan reviews, we aim to deliver complete and accurate construction documents, helping to minimize questions and complications once construction begins. Your project is in good hands, and we are here to make the process as smooth as possible.

Meeting Availability
All Interwest personnel assigned to the project will be available to attend a meeting (virtual or in person) at the City to address questions or discuss issues with City staff, design team and/or construction team that may arise on a project at no additional cost to the City for projects paid on percentage. We understand that these meetings may occur prior to permit submittal, during the review process, and after permit issuance and typically will not exceed two hours for each meeting.

Interwest’s staff will be available to attend bi-annual plan review and/or inspection-related meetings at the City at no additional cost to the City and that these meetings typically do not exceed two hours.

Communicating Plan Review Results
When plan reviews are not immediately approved, Interwest will provide a detailed list of comments that reference specific drawings and applicable code sections. This clear and concise document will serve as a valuable resource for clients, designers, contractors, and owners. At the end of each review cycle, we will send both an electronic and hard copies of the comments to the designated applicant and City representative. Once all issues are resolved, we will deliver two complete sets of the final documents, clearly marked as “reviewed,” to the City for final approval. Interwest will handle all pick-up and delivery of plan review documents from the City at no cost, aiming for same-day service.

Interwest’s staff will be available to discuss projects and technical data via phone or other means with the City’s staff, design team and/or construction team at no additional cost to the City for projects paid on percentage.
