Consultant agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers, from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, injuries, and liability, direct or indirect (including any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith), arising out of Consultant’s performance of this Agreement, or Consultant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement; excluding, however, any claim arising out of the active negligence or willful misconduct of the City, its officers, agents, employees, or volunteers.

FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
TITLE: PLAN REVIEW AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES

1. Introduction:

The City of Manteca Building Safety Division is responsible for plan review and inspections of commercial and residential construction projects within the City of Manteca. The Planning Division is responsible for planning for the future development of Manteca. Examples of the division's work include: reviewing and approving land-use and development proposals, implementing the City's General Plan, administering the Zoning Ordinance, processing updates and amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, creating master plans, ensuring compliance with State and Federal mandates regarding development, land divisions, and environmental review, and acting as staff for the City's Planning Commission. Due to fluctuating workloads and limited staffing, it is necessary at times to employ third party agency services on some projects to maintain reasonable response times. With the improvement in the economy, and several projects planned for the near future, third party services will be necessary to avoid a reduction in service to the community as workload increases. Responsive bids must be received by Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

Our staff can perform these duties and are available to City staff for further clarification on various issues that arise with implementation..

SEISMIC RETROFIT
JAS Pacific have staff who have implemented and conducted seismic retrofit programs for jurisdictions in California. JAS Pacific President Mr. Raj Patel, during this tenure as Building Official for the City of Beverly Hills, initiated a Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit Program for the city’s vulnerable soft-story apartment buildings. His development of the program included technical research, initiation of several community meetings, and close correspondence with the City Manager and City Council before success passage of the ordinance, and a high completion rate of Soft-Story buildings in Beverly Hills.

JAS Pacific Senior Vice-President Mr. Ron Takiguchi initiated and implemented a comprehensive seismic retrofit program while he was Building Official for the City of Santa Monica. This included a mandatory seismic retrofit for all vulnerable building types including Soft-Story Buildings, Non-Ductile Concrete Buildings, and the Nation’s First Mandatory Seismic Retrofit of Steel-Moment Frame Buildings. Related to this experience, Mr. Takiguchi authored a paper entitled “City of Santa Monica: Successful Implementation of Smaller Community Resilience” that was published and presented at the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute’s 2018 - 11th U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering Conference. JAS Pacific can work with staff at Manteca to advise, develop and initiate such programs

REACH CODES / ZERO NET ENERGY
During his tenure as Building Official for the City of Santa Monica, Mr. Ron Takiguchi – while working with the Planning Department and Office of Sustainability and the Environment of Santa Monica developed a mandatory Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Code for new single-family dwellings – the third such ordinance to be implemented in the State of California. The basis for ZNE achievement was mandatory installation of a solar photovoltaic system and other measures – years prior to the California Energy Commission’s requirement of solar augmentation. JAS Pacific can work with Building & Safety for similarly related programs

GREEN BUILDING - SUSTAINABILITY
The process of State Building Code adoption provides an advanced look at developing and proposing codes and standards. Included in this process are the Workgroups of various State Agencies and the Code Advisory Committees of the California Building Standards Commission. Ron Takiguchi, member of the Green Building Code Advisory Committee – since the inception of the CALGreen Code – has an advanced look of proposed standards that are publicly discussed and approved for the next building code cycle. Being at the development forefront, Ron Takiguchi and JAS Pacific can advise the City on measures in anticipation of development and building standards, and can advise on City amendments to the CALGreen Code – and California Energy Code.

BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION
Prior to the ruling of the United States Supreme Court to restrict banning of natural gas in buildings, Ron Takiguchi, during his tenure as Building Official for the City of Pasadena, and Bob Latz serving the City of Sacramento, developed mandatory Building Electrification Programs for new commercial and multi-family buildings.

Pasadena’s Building Electrification Program provided several exceptions to the mandate while seeking health and environmental benefits of reduced fossil fuels in buildings. Sacramento’s Electrification Program was specialized for new commercial applications with exceptions for the restaurant community and existing businesses.

ORDINANCE DEVELOPMENT
Similar to JAS Pacific’s Executive Team’s development of Building Electrification, Seismic Retrofit, and other City special programs – JAS Pacific can develop building and fire code related ordinances for the City of Manteca.

Our ordinance development would include discussion with City staff, the Department Director, research, drafting of an ordinance, meeting with City Attorney staff, drafting of the City Council Staff Report, and presentation of the ordinance to community groups, Commissions and the City Council.
