TRACK RECORD / BUDGET CONTROL
BPR has an excellent track record of completing service contracts similar to this in scope, size, and complexity. BPR Consulting Group has extensive experience providing plan review, inspection, and other building and public works department services utilizing multiple types of contract and fee arrangements. We often provide services on a fixed fee basis ensuring a specific fee amount for our clients, allowing them to utilize our services with a predetermined cost for all services. For other projects, we provide services utilizing hourly billing rates with or without project specific not-to-exceed budget amounts. For these types of projects, we closely monitor service costs against project budgets in order to stay within the agreed upon project budget.

QUALITY 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 Plan Review Manager 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

BPR
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.

Our inspection services will be closely managed by our building official who will work with project applicants to resolve all inspection related issues in an efficient, code compliant, and customer focused manner.

REFERENCES
Over the past 22 years, BPR’s principals have worked diligently to develop a reputation within California for providing top quality, timely, and efficient building safety services in a professional, courteous manner, always in our clients’ best interests, by honoring our commitment to provide timely superior services.

City of Palmdale | RFP No. 26-001-6110 | As-Needed Plan Check, Community Development Technician, Building Inspection, and Building Official Services Financial Condition
Interwest is in good financial condition, and there are NO conditions, including, bankruptcy, pending litigation, planned office closures, or impending mergers, that may impede the respondent to provide services. Interwest is backed by a private equity—The Riverside Company—headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, giving us a robust annual budget.

Each year, RSM US LLP auditors provide an objective independent examination of SAFEbuilt’s financials, increasing the value and credibility of our financial statements. Since SAFEbuilt is privately held, the specifics of our annual financial statements and quarterly reports are both confidential and a trade secret. For that reason, we have not included audited financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement).

We welcome any requests for in-person or virtual conferences with our Chief Financial Officer and/or Vice President of Finance to discuss the financial strength of the company. During the meeting, we are happy to share three years of audited financials, including the auditor’s letter of opinion, auditor’s notes, balance sheet, statement of income/loss, as well as our most recent Quarterly Financial Report.

To help demonstrate that we are financially sound, two bank references have been provided below.
