WORK PLAN
The following Work Plan outlines our approach to completing the plan check services described in the City’s Scope of Services. Our work plan demonstrates a thorough
understanding of the City’s needs and expectations for
timely, consistent, and high-quality plan reviews, as well as our commitment to maintaining close, responsive
coordination throughout the life of the contract.
Approach and Work Plan
Our approach to providing on-call plan check services is founded on three primary principles: responsiveness,
technical accuracy, and clear communication. R.E.Y. has assigned a dedicated Contract Manager, Garrett McLaughlin, PE, PLS, to lead all coordination efforts with City staff and applicants. Garrett will be supported by the R.E.Y. team of experienced plan reviewers and technical staff, with
specialized support provided by Dokken Engineering for
areas including hydraulic systems, hydrologic systems, pump facilities, traffic signals, street lighting, electrical systems, structural design, and roundabout geometrics.
For each plan check assignment, our team will:
Confirm scope, expectations, and schedule with
City staff.
Perform a comprehensive technical review to verify
conformance with City standards, specifications, and
applicable regulations.
Provide clear, well-organized electronic plan
review comments.
Attend review meetings and be available to discuss
review comments with City staff and applicants.
Track all submittals, comments, and approvals to
maintain accurate records and reporting.
Our team will complete initial plan checks within 30 business days of issuance and subsequent reviews within 15 business days, or faster when feasible.
Task Order Delivery Approach
1. Task Order Assignment & Kickoff
Contract Manager confirms scope, schedule, and
expectations with City staff.
Assigns appropriate R.E.Y. and Dokken staff based on
project needs.
2. Document Intake & Preliminary Review
Administrative staff logs and distributes plans and
supporting documents.
Initial assessment for completeness and
identification of applicable standards.
3. Technical Plan Review & Report Review
R.E.Y. reviewers conduct civil plan checks: grading,
utilities, drainage, erosion control, floodplain, fire
access, and compliance with master plans.
Dokken staff review hydraulics, traffic signals, street lighting, electrical systems, structural elements, and
roundabout geometrics. (If needed.)
All supporting reports (geotechnical, hydrology,
photometric, stormwater compliance, etc.) are
reviewed concurrently.
4. Compile Review Comments
Comments are consolidated, formatted
electronically, and submitted to City staff.
5. Coordination & Meetings
Review comments are discussed with City staff and
applicants as needed via phone or web meetings.
6. Subsequent Reviews & Final Approval
Revised submittals are reviewed within
15 business days.
Approvals and final documentation
provided electronically.
7. Invoicing
Monthly invoices prepared with detailed breakdown
of services performed.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
R.E.Y.’s quality management plan is an essential element in our approach to delivering a project that meets or exceeds our clients’ requirements. The terms quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are often used interchangeably, but R.E.Y. clearly distinguishes these concepts as follows:
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality assurance is an overall program that establishes project-related policies, procedures, standards, guidelines, and systems aimed at producing an acceptable level of quality in our products. These tasks are performed continuously before, during, and upon completion of specific project deliverables to confirm a clear understanding of requirements and to verify that those requirements are fully met. General examples include training seminars, continuing education, and brown bag presentations. But most importantly it’s the things we do during the process such as site visits, setting and
communicating standards, and verifying requirements, among others. The goal is to do things right the first time by clearly defining and communicating the project requirements.
QA Program
The QA/QC Manager, Jim Fisher, PE, QSD/P, has overall
responsibility and authority to implement the QA program, including:
Assigning qualified task leaders
Retaining qualified staff
Ensuring resource and training needs are met
Approving project work plans, including scopes,
schedules, and budgets
Monitoring team performance with the client
The Contract Manager, Garrett McLaughlin, PE, PLS, is
responsible for the following QA elements, among others:
Working closely with the client and the discipline leads to develop a project work plan that defines the project
requirements and expectations
Assigning qualified staff
Documenting and communicating project requirements
Monitoring progress in terms of schedule, budget, and client satisfaction
Anticipating potential changes and developing strategies to maintain progress
QUALITY CONTROL
Quality control relates to project-specific activities consistently applied to produce quality project deliverables. The objective of the QC program is to detect and eliminate major defects in project work products and limit minor defects consistent with commonly accepted standards. This is accomplished through the application of continuous checks and comprehensive
reviews prior to each delivery milestone.
QC Program
The QA/QC Manager is responsible for ensuring that the QC provided meets the expectations of the client. This is
accomplished by performing independent checks at set
project milestones, as well as random checks. Checks are made for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with the standards set forth by the client. These checks are
documented and made available to the client.
Enhancements and Innovations
To improve efficiency and service quality, R.E.Y. proposes the following enhancements:
Utilize cloud-based file sharing platforms (as permitted by the City) for seamless plan and report exchanges.
Maintain a running log of all active and completed
reviews for City staff reference.
Provide recommendations for minor process
improvements based on review trends, code updates, or
observed opportunities for efficiency.
