AKM prepared a preliminary design report, and construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates for a new water booster pump station replacing the existing pump station which was 60 years old, inadequate in capacity, hard to access and in poor condition.
The new station is located at the existing Simon Ranch Reservoir site. The new pump station contains two 850 gpm duty pumps, one 2500 gpm fire flow pump, a 500 kW permanent emergency
generator, as well as an inter-zonal connection through a pressure regulating station, all housed in a below-grade, reinforced concrete structure. The pumps are operated by 18 pulse variable frequency drives with bypass solid state contactors. The VFDs are provided to operate the pump station in case of an outage of the single reservoir for Zone 3. The project included 4,100 LF of 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch and 16-inch Zone 1 and Zone 3 pipes. As a part of the scope of the work, AKM utilized the City’s hydraulic model and evaluated various pumping alternatives, station layouts, surges, control schematics and zonal demands from historic records. Also evaluated were various flow regulation systems for the pump station during outages of the storage reservoirs.

Mr. Nadeem Majaj has over 36 years of extensive experience in flood control/drainage and water resources engineering, innovations and technical instruction. He previously was the Director of Public Works/City Engineer for the Cities of Chino Hills and San Bernardino, and the Assistant Director/Chief Engineer for the County of Orange. His practical experience is extensive across the drainage and flood control spectrum. As he progressed along the ranks (Senior Engineer, Chief of Design, Flood Control Division Manager and Assistant Director) of the County of Orange, he played an integral role in the projects. These projects varied from small storm drains to the over $2 Billion Santa Ana River Mainstem Project, and included upgrades to existing stormwater pump stations as well as new pump stations.
Specific project examples include:
Channel Inspection, Condition Assessment, and Repair (5 Channels) for the City of Garden Grove – Project Manager
Lift Station No. 2 Drainage for South Coast Water District – Project Manager Haster Retarding Basin & Stormwater Pump Station for Orange County FCD – Assistant Chief Engineer
Los Alamitos Stormwater Pump Station for Orange County FCD – Assistant Chief Engineer Harbor–Edinger Stormwater Pump Station Upgrades for Orange County FCD – Project Manager
Belmont Shore and West Long Beach Local Base Flood Elevation Study FEMA Zone A for the City of Long Beach – Project Manager responsible for the hydrologic studies and hydraulic analyses for determining the Base Flood Elevations in a 442 acre area in west Long Beach, which is currently in FEMA Zone A. Because the area is behind the Dominguez Channel levee, and the levee is not certified, the City will use the study results in issuing minimum pad elevations for new development and re-development projects. When the levee is certified, a Letter of Map Revision will be submitted to FEMA.
Talbert Valley Channel System Master Plan (Huntington Beach) – Project Engineer responsible for the hydraulic analysis and development of alternatives for ultimate improvement of the system. Within this effort, he also developed an unconventional retarding system, which consisted of a linear retarding basin (3-miles long, along the main channel), This concept was presented at several conferences and workshops including ASCE’s (50th Anniversary) National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering in Colorado Springs and ASCE’s Engineering Workshop on Peak Reduction at California State University, Long Beach. East Plan Richfield Channel – This project is an OCFCD channel segment, between the Santa Ana River and Orangethorpe Ave, in Anaheim, just west of Imperial Highway. Its length is 1,700 feet and includes two road crossings and a railroad crossing. Nadeem completed the hydrology/hydraulic analyses of the existing channel and developed an ultimate design. He also prepared the PS&E, then administered the project through construction. Galivan Retarding Basin and Oso Creek Channel – This was a $27 million OCFCD project that is located between the I-5 Freeway and Cabot Road, just north of Crown Valley Parkway. It included the analyses and design of one of the most complicated and largest channel/basin projects in the County. This project included the design of a 70-feet wide vertical-walled reinforced concrete channel with a side-weir, a railroad bridge, and a 17-acre retarding basin. Finally, Nadeem oversaw the preparation of the PS&E’s and continued to administer the project through construction. .
Assistant Director/Chief Engineer, OCPW - The primary component of this executive assignment was fulfilling the Board of Supervisor’s mission of providing essential public works services and facilities to the citizens of the County of Orange (County). I was responsible for providing effective leadership for six public works divisions with over 450 personnel and an annual budget of over $400 million. These divisions were: Roads (and Transportation), Operations & Maintenance, Project Management (incl. Utilities and Regulatory Permits), County Surveyor, Construction and Flood Control. One of my leadership responsibilities was the California State Association of Counties’ (CSAC) Flood Control Policy committee. Finally, the above mentioned responsibilities and activities cannot be successfully fulfilled without effective and inclusive leadership over the disparate functions and specialties. The public works department of this County is a well-respected and recognized local leader by the citizens and municipalities of the County.

SCOPE OF WORK
AKM’s approach to each project assigned is specifically tailored to the established goals, objectives, schedules, and budgets identified by our clients. Our work plans are detailed and specific to each project’s unique requirements. However, fundamental core values and principals are integrated into and employed on each and every project AKM undertakes.
Project development begins at the RFP stage, continues through the creation of final reports or design documents, and if applicable, culminates in bidding and engineering support services during construction. Each phase is important and essential to overall project success.
Developing proper insight into the project and its goal, obtaining the proper data for use on the project, and close coordination with the City is essential to completing successful projects for the City. These elements minimize the possibility of errors, promote timely exchange of information and identification of issues, and formulation of solutions. Staffing the project with the most qualified team members is another essential part of its success.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
In undertaking its assignments, AKM employs an "Integrated Project Management" approach to deliver successful projects. The goal of the Integrated Project Management is to provide a technically superior product on schedule and within budget. Integrated Project Management commences with project identification, establishes a work program, and executes the project while providing continuous project quality monitoring and improvements. In this approach, the project management and internal quality control are very important elements.
During project identification, the intent and purpose of the project are determined with extensive interaction with the client. Thereupon, a work plan is established and a resource loaded work breakdown structure and schedule are prepared. The schedule and work breakdown structure are integrated with the special needs of the project and the client.
The project is executed by the technical staff. Quality Control function is carried out to provide independent checking of the project and address constructability and bidability issues.
The project is reviewed weekly by the Project Manager who monitors progress against the established work breakdown structure and schedule.
Any technical difficulties, schedule slips or previously unforeseen conditions are immediately recognized, quantified and addressed. The status is reported to the client in regular project status reports. As a result, interactive, responsive and proactive project management is utilized.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH

project fact sheets, concept renderings, GIS storymaps, plans and drawings and answer questions from the public and/or committee or council members. Graphic visuals shall be prepared for both print and digital applications. Alliance Outreach has developed and implemented successful community, educational and conservation public outreach campaigns and high profile design and construction outreach programs for more than 70 transportation, water, sewer, and recycled water projects in Southern California alone.
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
Requests for proposals that are received are immediately reviewed by principals/principal engineers of the Company to assess how AKM can best respond to both the technical requirements of the work and the project delivery schedule. As we have throughout our relationship with the City, we pledge to respond to each solicitation.
Requests for proposals are then assigned to a principal/principal engineer of the company with 20 plus years of experience, who will be not only responsible for preparation of the proposal, but will also participate in the work (if awarded the project) in a significant capacity until project completion.
The principal/principal engineer will be responsible for thoroughly reviewing the proposal requirements, ask questions as necessary, in order to develop thorough insight into the project and all required scope elements, and perform site visits, as needed, to understand site conditions.
PROPOSAL PREPARATION
The best way to minimize or eliminate change orders during design phase services is to develop a detailed proposal which identifies all project issues and objectives, and realistically estimates costs and schedules for completion of the work. This can only be achieved by mature staff that has extensive experience and expertise in the type of work to be undertaken. At AKM, staff assigned to the preparation of the proposal are firm principals and principal engineers with over 20 years of experience in the water resources engineering industry. These individuals are also actively engaged in the day to day activities associated with the planning and design of the projects, and therefore are thoroughly familiar with the effort, resources, and activities required to deliver a technically superior project on schedule and within budget.
It is our philosophy to address all RFP requested services in the proposal, as a minimum scope of work. We do however, regularly offer recommendations and include additional services that we believe to be necessary, or that would improve the value of the project. We also point out scope elements which may have been requested, but based upon our experience, may not provide a significant benefit or value to the job.
All of AKM’s proposals demonstrate our understanding of the requested work by summarizing the purpose of the project, highlight project issues, discuss the design and delivery schedule, and provide innovative solutions for addressing project challenges. They are thorough and complete, and provide a detailed roadmap for overall completion of the anticipated work program. For each proposal, we prepare an initial resource loaded work breakdown structure tied to the project’s schedule, which we will update, incorporate into earned value analysis as part of our project management if awarded the contract.
PROJECT INITIATION
AKM initiates each project it is awarded with a kick-off meeting. Key members of the AKM team will attend the meeting to provide introductions, discuss lines of communication and project management including the initial work breakdown structure and schedule, review project issues, and budget. We document the discussions of the meeting in minutes within one week of the meeting.
This meeting is then followed up with focused meetings between client staff and AKM Project Team to gather a central understanding of operational issues, desired project objectives, client design criteria, maintenance information, operational data, and field testing.
During the project initiation phase, design surveys, geotechnical investigations, and utility research are typically undertaken.

The City has developed general task descriptions for the projects it plans to undertake, which we acknowledge in its entirety. In the following, we provide our general approach to undertaking these tasks:
TECHNICAL AND FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND SUPPORT SERVICES
Technical and feasibility studies are anticipated to include water quality evaluations, technical and optimization studies of treatment processes and distribution systems, feasibility studies of new and alternative treatment systems, assessment of ancillary facilities, condition assessment and asset management evaluations, and equipment and process evaluations to formulate repair and rehabilitation recommendations.
In general, all studies will be conducted with the following approach:
• Meetings – AKM will meet with the City staff to gain insight and collect information concerning the project.
The discussions of the meeting will be summarized in “Minutes” prepared by AKM and distributed to all meeting attendees. Meetings will be held through the performance of the work to ascertain proper exchange of information, and direction from the City.
At the conclusion of the study, a meeting will be held to present the study findings to the City staff and to respond to any questions.
• Field Investigations – AKM will conduct field investigations as necessary to obtain data, observe actual operating conditions and identify any constraints and opportunities. If any testing is required, AKM will prepare a testing protocol prior to conducting the tests. The testing protocol will define the objectives for the test, data to be collected, and procedures for conducting the test. • Preparation of Engineering Calculations – Based upon the collected data, AKM will prepare engineering calculations, as necessary, to analyze the current system operation and possible future operating conditions. When appropriate, computer programs will be used for this work. • Preparation of Sketches, Drawings – We will develop exhibits, sketches and drawings, as necessary, to illustrate current conditions and recommendations for improvements. Report – A report or technical memorandum will be prepared for each study, which presents the study’s objective, existing condition and/or deficiency, alternatives for correcting the current situation, cost/benefit analysis, and recommendations. Supporting calculations and exhibits will also be provided.
The final study will be signed and sealed by a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of California.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN
For most design projects, a preliminary design report is prepared. The report provides a basis for design development, evaluates alternatives, assesses costs, identifies design and construction schedules, outlines permit and easement requirements, and provides concept solutions for project technical challenges. The report also often contains 20% to 30% level drawings to help illustrate the proposed project design. A typical report outline is as follows:
• Executive summary
• Introduction
• Existing System and Hydraulics
• Design Criteria
• Alternative Evaluation and Proposed
Design
• Electrical and Control Systems
• Utility Services
• Geotechnical Conditions
• Corrosion
• Permitting and Right-of-Way

The following section involves our approach to a variety of designs such as street rehabilitation, sewer, storm systems, drainage, and our specialized tools applied in the design process including Civil3D, AutoCAD, Laser Scanner & 3D Point Cloud for surveys, and our Drone Usage to capture aerial data & imagery. Below illustrates our ability to provide a wide range of general engineering.

A final determination of the rehabilitation methods to be applied are made following a detailed site evaluation, review of any available pavement management study and geotechnical data, development of a preliminary cost estimate for all construction components, and discussions with the City. In addition to traditional rehabilitation methods, OE can assess the potential benefits of incorporating emerging technologies into a design at the City’s request. The cost of incorporating these technologies varies; however, they typically result in up-front cost savings in labor and material costs or long-term savings by providing a street with service life comparable to one that has been reconstructed at a reduced price. These emerging technologies include:
fiber re-inforced asphalt
OE incorporates fiber additives into full depth pavement layers, overlays, & slurry seals to improve pavement tensile strength, crack resistance, and service life. Fiber reinforced asphalt has been utilized on projects by numerous Cities and Counties throughout Southern California. Cost savings can be realized by extending the pavement life and by reducing required pavement thicknesses, as compared to conventional asphalt mixes. diamond & Grind overlay
The greatest cost-savings is achieved by utilizing this method. We would first diamond grind the concrete. This would be followed by a crack grouting joint filler.
The advantage of this approach is that is minimally invasive to homeowners. After construction hours, the project site is open to the public and there is minimum cleanup. The cost of diamond grinding is the least cost option, to where OE would divert funds to other locations also in need of repair and rehabilitation. reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP)
OE utilizes this method because by offering
Environmental Stewardship it recycles
nonrenewable resources, reduces waste to
landfills, minimizes air emissions, and conserves
energy. Options for recycling the material milled
from project sites can be evaluated if there is
sufficient surface area to be rehabilitated for
it to be economically viable. There are several
methods that utilize RAP, some of which
include HOT RECYCLING, HOT IN-PLACE
RECYCLING, COLD IN-PLACE RECYCLING,
COLD CENTRAL PLANT RECYCLING, and FULL
DEPTH RECLAMATION. The determination of
which methods may be project feasible depends on street geometry and structural section, project logistics, and available construction budgets. Studies have historically demonstrated that the inclusion of RAP in the pavement design results in a pavement of similar or better quality than pavement constructed using conventional methods.
Depending on the RAP method utilized, cost savings can be realized by reducing the amount of new asphalt cement or binder used, transportation costs, and disposal costs. Cold-mix methods can also result in reduced disruptions to traffic flow due to reduced curing times.
street design in civil 3d
Street sections are evaluated by converting topographic survey data into a 3D surface in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Street crown heights and cross-slopes are assessed and adjusted as necessary to tie into any curb and gutter elevations. Proposed street surfaces, curbs, and gutters are also created as a 3D surface. The software allows for surface elevations and slopes to be reported at any given point and it dynamically updates the values when changes are made to the design. The software also allows for the simulation of rainfall for surface run-off flows from street crowns to gutters as intended.
DRONE MAPPING
A site assessment is
enhanced with the collection
of high-resolution aerial
photographs using our drone.
Our team has three remote
pilots licensed by the FAA to
fly drones for commercial
use. The aerial photographs
allow us to accurately denote
site surface features, areas of
excessive pavement distress,
utility notification markings,
and street striping, as well
as providing us with highly
detailed reference data that
cannot be achieved through
traditional site evaluation

Also, the images collected are at a higher resolution than images provided by other sources and are ideal for use in the preparation of exhibits. The sample images, collected for a previous project, demonstrate the level of detailed information that can be collected using drone technology. The aerial photos collected are consolidated in post-processing to create entire street segments with very high levels of detail. sewer & storm systems & drainage
Some of the design features OE incorporates into storm sewer systems include Green Street Designs, as summarized below. Suitability of these methods are partially dependent on the infiltration rates of subsoils and anticipated surface runoff volumes of a project area. The primary intention of Green Street design is to capture surface run-off before it enters storm sewer systems and to minimize the pollutants discharged into receiving water bodies (i.e. lakes, rivers, etc.). Green Street features can also reduce the load placed on storm sewer systems, as well as reduce flooding during peak rainfall. As an added benefit, Green Street features also improve street aesthetics. landscaping
Careful planning of the vegetation utilized in landscaped areas can have a noticeable effect on stormwater retention rates. Drought resistant plants such as succulents can be incorporated into designs as they have a much greater water retention capacity than other plants. Additionally, the planting of trees or larger plants with broad leaves with high transpiration rates (the rate at which water is drawn into the roots and evaporated from the leaves) can also be beneficial.
BIOF ILTRAT ION & BIOS WALES
Biofiltration utilizes different layers of media to retain, filter, and disperse stormwater runoff into the subsoil. Components may include plants, mulch, soil, sand/gravel, and perforated pipe. Biofiltration does require some maintenance to prevent bio-clogging.
MODULAR BIOF ILTRAT ION UN ITS
Several companies offer modular, prefabricated
biofiltration units that can be configured to
meet the specific requirements of a project.
Typically, these systems utilize proprietary
filtering media which may offer higher
removal rates of pollutants when compared to
traditional biofiltering methods, as well as options to incorporate additional retention space in the form of prefabricated storage modules. While more expensive than traditional biofiltration construction, these modular units provide easier maintenance and access to the filter media to prevent bio-clogging.
INFILTRATION WELLS & TRENCHES
These typically consist of perforated pipe surrounded by clean aggregate and filter fabric with a sand filter base. Infiltration wells can capture a large volume of surface run-off which then can be slowly dispersed into the surrounding subsoil. Proper placement of infiltration wells can reduce surface flow which will also reduce soil erosion rates. Infiltration trenches consist of linear ditches that contain highly permeable soils (aggregate). Infiltration trenches can quickly contain large volumes of water but may not provide the same pollutant removal benefits provided by biofilters due to the lack of biological media and the rate at which the surface runoff disperses into the soil. Infiltration trenches are also prone to clogging.
SECTION E - Work Approach On-Call Engineering Services for the City of PICO RIVERA 19 sewer main replacement: Pipe bursting method
In addition to traditional trenching
methods, OE evaluates the feasibility
of using pipe-bursting to replace sewer
mains. Pipe-bursting is an effective
method for replacing pipelines with
minimal surface disruptions. This
method can be particularly advantageous as it would reduce impacts to traffic along a project street and if applicable, minimize the amount of median replacement. New pipe is pushed through an existing pipe, limiting the possibility of striking another utility, along with less chance the advancement of the pipe would be impeded by cobbles or tree roots. Another benefit of this method is that existing pipe alignments are maintained. One of the main drawbacks of pipe-bursting, however, is the limitation on the allowable size increase of the pipe. Typically, pipe being replaced using pipe-bursting methods can only be increased in diameter by 2 to 4 inches unless the surrounding soils are highly compressible.
laser scanning
OE collects topography data and photos
using a terrestrial laser scanner. The laser
scanner is equipped with a high-speed 3D
scanning system that measures 500,000
points per second and HDR 360-degree
images. The advantage of laser scanning is
it provides high density accuracy, fast data
collection, and a clear representation of the
existing conditions using a colorized point
cloud of the site as shown in the sample image below. The 3D point cloud produced allows linework to be quickly drafted and for a more accurate placement of objects for the existing utility appurtenances. Appurtenance geometry such as utility pole, fence and tree diameters are accurately documented as the entire circumferences of the objects are measured rather than the single point which is typically collected from a traditional survey. This allows a precise identification of ADA clearance issues to ensure an accurate design.
PLANS & SPEC IFICAT IONS DEVELOPMENT
All designs and plans are ADA compliant and adhere to the latest editions of the American Public Works Association (APWA) Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standards, or Caltrans Standard Plans, whichever takes precedence. The latest edition of the APWA Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction “Greenbook”, the AWWA Standards, Caltrans Specifications, or the Caltrans Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) are adhered to for the specifications, whichever takes precedence. All signing and striping required are designed in accordance with the Caltrans Standard Plans and the California MUTCD.
City of Pico Rivera boilerplate templates would be used when available. All plans are developed using current AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Civil 3D allows us to see the effects to material quantities and costs as design changes are implemented, and provides us with tools to simulate drainage surface runoff, instantly calculate grades at any given point on the surface of the design, and visualize the designs in 3D as they would appear when constructed. OE’s design team has lengthy experience with the software to use it to its fullest.

PROJECT DETAILS & CONTACT INFORMATION
The slurry seal provides a protective coating for the streets and it is designed to seal and extend the life of the pavement.
On the day the slurry seal is applied, the street will most likely be closed entirely to vehicles and pedestrians. Detours may be necessary. Several streets will be resurfaced each day, so your street may close as early as 7:30 a.m. or as late as 1:30 p.m. It takes approximately 4 hours for the slurry seal to dry for vehicle use, and about 2 hours for pedestrian use. “NO Parking” signs will be posted within the work areas prior to roadway closures. Trash collection and mail delivery services may occur at different times of the day, but will not be interrupted. Emergency access will be provided at all times.

SECTION E - Work Approach On-Call Engineering Services for the City of PICO RIVERA 23 TELEPHONE HOTL INE
OE establishes project hotlines to provide businesses, residents, and City staff 24/7 access to project personnel. The City will be provided with a hotline for this project that can function as the contact number for the duration of the project life cycle. All calls are tracked, so a call log can easily be generated and saved, with caller information, time of call, and voice-mail. Upon setup, callers will be greeted by a brief pre-recorded introduction, after which a vocalized menu will offer key options for helpful project information, such as street closures, parking restrictions and schedule changes. They will then have the option to be routed to a task specific staff member.
This system is completely customizable, where the contact person can be changed throughout the course of a project, and the system works even if phases are handled by different consultants.
This available resource provides peace of mind to the community, knowing the option to voice their concerns and obtain information is a phone call away. This method of consolidation also means less headaches for the City.
interactive web maps
OE has the tools and skills to build interactive and dynamic maps to keep the public informed.
Any affected stakeholders can easily access our maps online for updates on detours, phasing, temporary parking, street closures, and general project limit information. OE would manage and update the site and content in real-time in accordance with City requirements. This inturn provides the City with convenient, easy-to-access content for oversite and to disseminate valuable information.

QC Quality Control means performing all
activities in conformance with valid
requirements, no matter how large or small
their overall contribution would be to the
design process. Good CAD techniques,
attention to detail, and ensuring plans are
correct and useful to the contractor are also
essential to quality. Our project engineers and
project managers recognize that quality is the
result of several processes. It requires a team
to perform many appropriate activities at the
right time during the plans development
process. Quality Control does not solely
consist of a review after a product is
completed. It is an approach alongside an
understanding that quality is a critical point
of focus throughout every moment of the
design process. The design team follows OE’s
established design policies, procedures,
standards and guidelines in the preparation
and review of all design products for
compliance and good engineering practice as
directed by the Project QC Plan.
SECTION E - Work Approach On-Call Engineering Services for the City of PICO RIVERA 25 QA Quality Assurance is a proactive measure
taken to verify that the systems and
procedures OE has put in place are in
conformance with the City’s requirements and
expectations. Achieving design quality is the
foundation for keeping costs under control during
construction. By focusing resources on producing
quality design, QA provides a better return on
investment. It must be followed during all phases
of project design. The most effective approach
should begin during design because emphasizing
design quality and design clarity is the surest way
to minimize the amount of change orders, claims
and construction costs. The most effective and
productive QA approach is focusing on producing
well-documented, well designed plans and
specifications at a standard of high quality. Plan
checks will ensure that the plans meet the 5 C’s:
Consistent, Clear, Correct, Constructible, &
Complete.
The Contractor receiving high quality plans
would know exactly what to bid, keeping areas
of interpretation to a minimum. The requirement
for public bidding provides additional incentive
for the design engineering team to achieve
both quality and clarity in project plans and
specifications. The primary goal in achieving
the highest project quality is obtained by
implementing and maintaining both accuracy
and consistency among the calculations,
drawings, specifications on project documents.

plan checking
Our primary staff members have over 3 decades of Public Works experience and are proficient in the process of plan checking. The combination of flexibility, strong work ethic, and related experience makes our team well qualified to satisfy the City’s needs. OE recognizes the City’s need for flexibility in scheduling due to the uncertain and fluctuating amount of incoming work.
We will accommodate these variances and pivot quickly to add resources when necessary to meet an expedited turnaround. Aside from accommodating to time constraints, OE assures excellent customer service by providing feedback in a timely manner, as well as deliver precise information the first time. The vast experience of our team members will result in addressing all of the City’s needs throughout the term of the contract.
When a plan check/development review is assigned, our team members will review the submittal for consistency with the City’s current requirements. If necessary, OE will arrange a meeting with the City’s Project Manager to review the submittal. Prior to the development review or plan check comments being returned, an intensive review will be conducted to compare any previous actions or approvals before any plans are signed. A constructability review will be preformed to verify that the project is compatible with existing improvements, will be functional, preserves the safety and health of the public, can be maintained by the City or developer, and is consistent and compatible, complete and accurate with the City’s requirements. OE has developed multiple helpful guidelines and checklists that are used by our plan checkers to verify all documentation is complete, accurate and consistent with the City’s requirements. plan check turnaround times & filing
OE, through its years of plan check experience, has come to find that most plan checks can and will be turned around within five working days. We believe it benefits both the City and the owner to have a quick turnaround time, and OE will place the City of Pico Rivera as a priority on all of its plan checks. Having been the designated plan checking department for local agencies, we understand the importance of documenting and itemizing all plan check details within their own individual project folders. OE maintains both a digital and hard copy filing system in an effort to secure the availability of all necessary material to the Owner or the City at all times.
All filing standards will be correlated with the City of Pico Rivera to verify that all necessary information is documented in the correct format and structure. reference material
As a matter of principle and practice, our plan checking department is required to have on hand at all times all required reference plans, specifications, and design manuals to cross reference all design items. Currently, OE maintains the most recent copies of the City of Pico Rivera's Design Manual and Standard Plans, FHWA Design Manuals, Caltrans Design Manuals, FHWA, Caltrans and Greenbook Standard Plans and Specifications, ADA Regulation Handbook, MUTCD Handbook, Hydrology Manual, & many other pertinent design references. plan check delivery & finalization
Upon final completion of the plan check, OE will promptly notify the City of the availability of said plans. If questions or clarifications need to be addressed, all items will be discussed at this time prior to delivery and pickup. If the City requests plan-checking services to be done remotely, then OE has contracts with courier services as well as staff on hand to deliver the necessary plans to the City for circulation. Upon plan check final approval & completion, OE will compile and submit all plan check information to the City for final compilation and filing.
All received information will be included as originals in the project documentation folder. All comments from OE will be included. For added clarity of information, all plan check comments, review redlines, and analyses will be included.
SECTION E - Work Approach On-Call Engineering Services for the City of PICO RIVERA 26 plan check procedures
OE will coordinate directly to ensure all plan intentions are understood prior to the initiation of the plan check. Our staff are excellent communicators and are quick to pick up the phone to clarify details rather than passing over minor discrepancies. We understand how important it is to have accurate plan sets, and we place our full resources and efforts towards the efficient and accurate checking of all received plan sets.
