Our in-house site inspector, licensed landscape contractor Neil Mayes (C27 #1010625), will provide inspection services for the City. Mr. Mayes is experienced with the requirements and implementation of various Municipal Landscape Ordinances and is well versed in water-wise and drought tolerant landscape irrigation design. We currently provide landscape inspections for the cities of Wildomar, Murrieta and Menifee. Mr. Mayes will advocate the City’s position and conduct field inspections to review conformance with installation per the approved plans. Communication method and turnaround time frames for landscape and irrigation plan check services: We will provide the City, within 2-business days (48-hours) of receiving the transmittal and review documents, a return notice of receipt and projected completion date for standard services. ADG shall complete initial standard plan checks within 10 calendar days, and 10 days for each subsequent submittal.

Our reviews will include sufficient detail with our customized plan checklist/matrix, as well as comments and narrative regarding revisions, recommendations, and conditionals of approval. We will use the City’s landscape architectural checklist for plan checks. Detailed steps are outlined below in our Scope of Services, which include the City’s outlined scope as well as additional items from our experience. For online capability for electronic plan reviews, we will utilize Blue Beam software, and are open to using additional methods if preferred by the City such as Energov and similar at direction of Planning Staff. We will also utilize the City’s available GIS interactive mapping to gather site specific data and requirements to inform our reviews. Communication method and turnaround time frames for landscape site inspection services: All communications from the City shall be directed to both the Municipal Plan Check Coordinator/Reviewer and the Site Inspector at ADG. Within 2-business days (48 hours) of the inspection request, receipt of the approved landscape plans and a fully executed Certificate of Completion (including all required attachments) from the City, ADG will contact the applicant to schedule the inspection.

ADG shall travel to the site and conduct field inspections within 3-business days (72 hours) of the inspection request, whenever possible. After each inspection, ADG will write-up and provide the City with an “Inspection Report”, indicating items of correction or whether the landscape and irrigation installation was in substantial compliance with the approved plans. If not in compliance, the applicant will need to contact ADG to schedule a re-inspection when all correction comments from the report have been addressed. Reports shall be e-mailed in PDF format to the City within 2-business days (24 hours) of inspection.

Verify that landscape and irrigation audits are conducted by the developer’s third- party consultant, as required by the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Guidelines. Quality Assurance Program Timeliness/Work Schedule It is understood that time is of the essence. ADG will provide services within the number of calendar days as authorized at the time of the project assignment, after the commencement date specified in the notice to proceed. A project schedule is typically completed by our team utilizing the “Fast Track” scheduling platform, detailing each projects phases and tasks for Client review and approval prior to the start of work. ADG’s projects are consistently completed on time, due to our Principals active involvement during the progression of our projects through weekly project management meetings and proactive staff scheduling. Our staff meets twice weekly to discuss project status and staff scheduling. This proactive approach includes scheduled meetings every Thursday with project managers to allocate our staff resources for the following week. A second higher-level management meeting, which includes our President, Directors, and Project Managers, occurs first thing every Monday morning, followed immediately by a meeting of all staff members to again review deadlines and expectations for the upcoming week. Our approach ensures proven and consistent results, a focused design team, and projects delivered correctly and on time. Value Engineering For design projects, an important element in our firm’s success is our ability to meet the Client’s construction budgets. Prior to the start of the design process, we thoroughly discuss the Client’s anticipated improvement cost for each phase of development. Based on this initial feedback, value-engineering studies are conducted to determine the actual improvements possible to maintain the budgetary constraints. ADG then carefully coordinates all phases of design development with the approved construction budget. This creates projects that are consistently constructed at or below the original estimate of projected cost. Cost Estimating Process In support of our Value Engineering process, ADG prepares “Statements of Probable Construction Costs” as required by the project’s scope of services. The “Statements of Probable Construction Costs” are prepared using Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheets, which have been developed by our office over the last twenty-five years to accurately estimate our project’s costs. The office “master” is updated annually using bid data from City of Murrieta Request for Proposals: Landscape Architecture Services Plan Check & Review Page 12 our clients, contractor surveys, and material cost multipliers. “Statements of Probable Construction Costs” are generally prepared during the Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document Phases for in-house and client review, and input. Quality Standards Unlike larger firms, our modest size gives our clients the advantage of working with an experienced principal from project start to finish, which increases the level of service and product quality throughout all phases of project development. Our office has developed project design standards, construction document standards, and cost estimating programs, which enable us to provide drawings and projects to our client’s, which are consistently higher than the “professional standard of care”. Additionally, all projects are reviewed in-house for errors and corrections prior to Client and/or Agency submittals. Communication with our Clients, regarding their project’s progress, is also a part of our quality assurance program. Clients are updated bi-weekly through written “Project Status Reports” prepared by the project manager. 90% of all our business is either repeat business from established Clients or referrals from our Clients and Public Agencies. This is a direct result of our office’s high standards for design, construction documents, and client service.

Comprehensive Campus Landscape Design
The IEHP (inland Empire Health Plan) Campus covers approximately 51 acres in Rancho Cucamonga CA. The site has two large office buildings with landscaped parking areas and a central landscaped core sitting between the buildings. IEHP now owns both buildings and desired to create a unified campus that emphasizes the ideas of health, well-being, personal and social communication and the ability to disconnect from the traditional office environment. Architerra’s role was to renovate the central 5-acre core space and create a dynamic, sinuous landscape.
