E. UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE OF WORK
Understanding of Scope of Work
NV5 understands that the City desires to establish a list of Consultants to perform development plan checking and entitlement review services for roads, sewer and storm
facilities, City facilities, parks, and other related engineering services. Specific items of work include:
• Entitlement Review
• Subdivision Maps
• Hydrology & Hydraulics
• Street Improvement Plans
• Grading Plans
• Water, Storm and Sewer Plans
• Traffic Studies
• Water Quality Management Plans
NV5 agrees to the Scope of Work and Services as included in this RFQ. Our general approach, work plan, management and QA/QC plan are included on the following pages and
can be tailored to meet the City's needs.
PLAN CHECK APPROACH
Our primary approach is to serve as a direct extension
of the City staff. NV5 will take every measure possible to see that the City's timeline is met. It is our intention to consistently beat the plan review turnaround times
while assuring continuous quality and reasonable
implementation of the state codes and all local
amendments. We will put forth a coordinated effort and
responsibility to track and coordinate all applications or requests received in the City.
All plan check services will be driven by the accepted
architect -engineering and industry professional practices, and will comply with the applicable regulations. Turnaround times of plan checks are crucial, and we intend to return plan checks within the timelines outlined by the City. We continually train existing employees and recruit new talent to exceed the expectations of our clients.
We understand how essential it is for individual
departments to work together in order to build a
successful project. Our philosophy is to work closely with all departments, divisions and agencies to eliminate
redundancy and increase efficiency. We understand the
difficulties in interpreting design standards, and we take pride in providing solutions for your constituents.
Outlined below is the general process the NV5 team
utilizes to provide plan review services. This is presented as a guideline to be adjusted according to the processing procedures of your jurisdiction. We will work with the
City in a seamless manner for review of plans for code
compliance and keeping projects moving to the finish line.
PROJECT DELIVERABLES: PLAN CHECK PROJECTS
Deliverables for a typical plan check project include:
o Cost confirmation letter (if required)
o Signed comment letter with checklist
o Redlined plans
In compliance with state law, all plan check services will be performed by or under the responsible charge of a
California licensed professional eligible to prepare and sign the type of map, plan, or professional study being reviewed.
All plan review memos will be signed and sealed by a duly licensed professional.
PLAN CHECK SUBMITTALS SEQUENCE
Each submittal will generally follow the following sequence:
First Plan Check
The initial plan check will be comprehensive and identify all significant issues. It is important to present significant issues to the developer as early in the review process as possible, so that the developer can respond in a timely manner. In addition to the typical scope of services, the first plan check will include the following:
o Plan Review Checklist
o Review of Conditions of Discretionary Approval
o Analysis of Easement Requirements and Right -Of -Way
Needs
o Identification of Required Coordination with Inter -Agency Jurisdictional Issues
Subsequent Submittals
Plan check resubmittals are reviewed for completeness
and to determine if all previous comments have been fully addressed. If the developer has made significant changes City of Placentia 1 On -Call Development Plan Checking and Entitlement Review Services NV5 1 16
E. UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE OF WORK
to the submittal, new review comments may be necessary.
The NV5 plan checker will identify remaining deficiencies in the documents for subsequent reiterations of the plan check submittals.
Final Review
We anticipate that after no more than three (3) plan checks, NV5 will request that the developer submit final plans and associated documents, as required by the City for final review. NV5 will confirm that plans are complete and that all associated documents have been submitted. NV5 will then provide an approval letter and other required documents and transmittals, depending on the type of review.
Transmittal
NV5 will maintain accurate and comprehensive records
related to all plans, calculations and documents received.
We will screen and log every application to assure they are routed to all plan checkers in a timely manner. All submittals are checked for compliance with relevant state and local requirements. The log serves as a tracking device to assure turnarounds and completeness of review.
Corrections
NV5 will assure that corrections are handled as quickly and as clearly as possible. We will identify all corrections based on compliance with specific standards, codes and
regulations. We will either provide notes on the plans as appropriate, or provide a correction sheet detailing which items need to be addressed for plan approval.
Each project will be reviewed with strict adherence to our company policy of independent objectivity as a third party.
Projects have ranged from the simple to the complex
across all types of construction. Our wide exposure and expertise allow us to provide impartial and comprehensive plan reviews clearly indicating the applicable codes and standards and documenting noted deficiencies. Our
reviews are individually prepared for each project, and, while we use Agency standard checklists as a basis for
our review, we also review each individual project for site- specific impacts and technical merits — including boundary conditions and general construction considerations. Our Plan Review Reports are written to provide the design
team with a clear and concise understanding of the issues.
Comments from each discipline are grouped together for
easy reference, and each comment references a specific
item in the plans or specifications as well as a reference.
Approvals
Upon completion of each plan review, plans and supporting documents will be returned to the City recommending
approval. Approval will only be given when all compliance issues are resolved to the best of our team's knowledge and all requirements of the City are satisfied.
Accelerated Plan Review
In most cases, we will complete the initial plan review in 10 working days and considerably less time for rechecks.
However, some plans may require expedited review. At
your request, we will perform plan review services within an accelerated time frame. Accelerated plan review may
require an additional fee, agreed upon by the applicant and NV5.
Meetings
We will conduct and coordinate all communications with
the City for plan review comments to assure that plan
review issues are handled efficiently. During the plan
review process, we are prepared to meet with City staff and the applicant at any time. Our goal is to issue approved plans as quickly as possible, but in full compliance with local codes, ordinances and guidelines. Our experience
suggests greater involvement early in the design process yields exceptional benefits. We feel it is helpful to be involved in Development Review meetings for projects
subject to the Planning Review process.
MANAGEMENT PLAN + QA/QC
Our managerial approach is based on shared expectations and clear and consistent communication with City staff
throughout the delivery of projects.
Our plan review process highlights the tools and
techniques we will employ to deliver quality, accurate, timely and responsive plan reviews:
Reliable and Responsive Service. Our project manager
will provide proactive communication, utilize proven project management tools and best practices, and will anticipate your needs and quickly respond with accurate and detailed information every step of the way. We are available to meet City of Placentia 1 On -Call Development Plan Checking and Entitlement Review Services NV5 1 17
E. UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE OF WORK
with the City at kickoff and progress meetings to discuss procedures, projects, and to maintain momentum and
project schedules.
Efficiently Meet Turnaround Deadlines and Maintain
Development Momentum. An emphasis will be placed on
our staff's experience with the City and requirements to proactively facilitate communication and processing. We will work to assure proven quality assurance and schedule control measures are implemented.
Maintain Accuracy and Cost Savings Through Proven
Processes and Continuity. We can implement integrated,
standardized processes, including electronic plan reviews that will be utilized by seasoned staff members who deliver plan review comments that are consistent, thorough,
accurate, and done right the first time.
INTEGRATED PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
The step-by-step review process that we follow for every plan check/review assures that review standards are
consistently implemented on each project.
We will implement a comprehensive program based on
best practices to validate that each and every review is thorough, accurate, consistent and timely.
This system's success is based on thousands of hours
of practical, real- world experience by our dedicated
personnel and their unique ability to interact quickly and efficiently with your staff. The specific action items in our process include:
Coordination and Communication: Our staff will handle
the necessary administrative functions, such as project tracking, managing project controls, maintaining and
distributing communications, reviewing agendas and
ordinance issues, and fielding calls on project status.
Analyzing Submittals: Our team will review and assess
initial submittals for completeness, review title sheets and non-technical issues; maintain files; monitor due dates; monitor contract budget and status tracking reports; and coordinate invoicing. Consistency will be maintained by assigning the project to the same reviewer that performed the previous reviews, unless circumstances dictate
otherwise.
Facilitating Quality Reviews: Our experienced public
works plan reviewers will routinely review agency
standards, ordinances, guidelines, and update checklists; write comment letters; coordinate project returns;
attend review meetings; and communicate comments
to the applicant and designers. Because of our depth of resources and project tools (checklists, comment letters), reassigned projects can be reviewed without missing
deadlines or causing unnecessary rechecks.
Providing Expertise: Our experts will provide a quality, comprehensive review of plans, studies, maps and reports in accordance with all accepted engineering practices,
the Subdivision Map Act, applicable regulations and City development standards. Our experts are also available
to meet with your staff to clarify comments and discuss solutions, as well as provide full and complete reviews for each project that will minimize the number of resubmittals by the customer.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control: We are committed to
a Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Constructability Review protocol for all deliverables submitted to a client.
Our QC policy requires our project engineer and project manager to sign off on the cover sheet and commit that
they have reviewed the submittal and are accepting
responsibility for the quality of the documents prior to being submitted for review by peers.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
[NV5]'s professionalism, responsiveness and commitment to exceptional customer service has greatly assisted the City in processing heavy current development demands as well as working through a backlog of over 30 projects that predated NV5's involvement with the City. — Amer Jakher, City of Beaumont
