RESOLUTION NO. 2024-XX

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

SANTA ANA APPROVING DENISTY BONUS AGREEMENT
APPLICATION NO. 2024-01 AS CONDITIONED FOR A NEW

FOR-SALE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH SIX UNITS
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1921 W.

WASHINGTON AVENUE (APN: 405-101-37).

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:

A. Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (Applicant & Property Owner) is requesting approval of Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) Application No. 2024-01 to facilitate the construction of a for-sale residential development (Project), consisting of six (6) units proposed as affordable to lower-income households earning less than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI) for the property located at 1921 W. Washington Avenue (Project Site).

B. Applicant requests approval of this DBA under California Government Code § 65915 (the “Density Bonus Law”) because the Project will operate as a common interest development and consists of 100% affordable for-sale units to lower-income households.

C. Pursuant to Section 4100 of the California Civil Code, the Project meets the definition of a Common Interest Development, which includes a condominium project, as further defined in Section 4125 of the California Civil Code. Therefore, the project qualifies as a Housing Development, as defined in the California Government Code Section 65915 (i), and is eligible for a density bonus.

D. As part of the overall process, the City and Applicant have entered into a Conditional Grant Agreement, pursuant to which, City agreed to provide a grant (the “Inclusionary Grant”) in an amount up to Two Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000) to the Applicant for a residential homeownership project that involves construction of six (6) affordable housing units restricted for sale to low income households.

E. As a condition of receiving the Inclusionary Grant, the Applicant agrees that a Regulatory Agreement Imposing Affordable Housing Covenants and Restrictions (“Density Bonus Agreement”) shall be recorded against the Project Site prior to disbursement of any portion of the Inclusionary Grant EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 207 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

and that the Project Site and Project shall be subject to the covenants and restrictions set forth in the Density Bonus Agreement.

F. The total affordability term in the Density Bonus Agreement states that each affordable unit shall be restricted for sale to an eligible household for a total period of no less than forty-five (45) years. To maintain this project as a for sale project, the Applicant also requested and received approval of TTM No. 2023-05, for condominium purposes, ensuring that the project qualifies as a Housing Development, and the Project meets the definition of a Common Interest Development.

G. The Project entails, among other improvements; (1) development of the Project Site with three duplex buildings with six (6) for-sale housing units proposed as affordable to lower-income households, 10,882 square-feet of total new floor area, and 15 onsite parking spaces; and (2) approval of Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) Application No. 2024-01.

H. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers that would help the project be built without significant burden and without detriment to public health.

I. The Applicant’s request has been thoroughly evaluated by the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC) through Development Project No. 2023-12. Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site, proposed development, and the Applicant’s requests for
incentives/concessions and waivers pursuant to the State’s Density Bonus Law.

J. The Project is entitled to a density bonus that will allow six (6) total residential units, developed as three (3) duplex buildings, based upon the restrictions set forth in the DBA to restrict the sale of the units to households that qualify as low income. Pursuant to the California Density Bonus law, a project’s affordability level is determined by dividing the number of proposed affordable units by the allowable “base” density (i.e., 7 du/ac). Moreover, the law states that units added by a density bonus are excluded from the calculations. The base density for the 0.37-acre site at 7 du/ac is 3 units. All six units of the project are proposed to be affordable to low income households. Therefore, the project would have a 100-percent affordability rate. As such, State density bonus law allows the developer to request a density bonus of 80 percent.

K. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires an application for a density bonus agreement containing deviations EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 208 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

(incentives/concessions and/or waivers) to be approved by the Planning Commission.

L. On June 10, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral and unanimously (5-0-0-2, with Commissioners Ramos and Oliva absent) recommended that the City Council approve Density Bonus Agreement No. 2024-01 as conditioned. As part of its actions, the Planning Commission also voted unanimously (5-0-0-2, with Commissioners Ramos and Oliva absent) to approve Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 2023-05 as conditioned.

M. On July 16, 2024, at a regularly scheduled public meeting, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana considered Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) Application No. 2024-01 and at that time considered all comments, written, and oral.

N. The City Council hereby determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this Density Bonus Agreement application pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1607, have been established for Density Bonus Agreement No. 2024-01 to allow construction of the proposed project:

1. That the proposed development will materially assist in accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing opportunities in economically balanced communities throughout the city.

The proposed development will provide six (6) residential forsale units, all units are designated for lower-income households, contributing toward the City’s housing stock to serve the needs of diverse and underserved populations. The area in which the project is proposed, the Two-Family
Residential zone within the Artesia Pilar Neighborhood
currently contains a mix of housing stock, including singlefamily residential and two to three unit duplexes/triplexes. The construction of this project will contribute toward an
economically balanced community by providing housing for different income levels in an area rich with employment opportunities.

2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land use element.

The proposed project is located in the Low Density Residential (LR-7) land use designation of the General Plan, which allows for development single-family and two-family dwelling units.

EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 209 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

The land use designation allows a mix of uses, including medium and medium-high density apartments, townhomes,
garden- or motor-court homes, and neighborhood- serving commercial. The project proposes a density of 16.2 dwelling units per acre, exceeding the General Plan’s LR-7 pursuant to the Density Bonus law, which allows developers to exceed the density permitted within the General Plan when providing affordable housing that meets specific conditions.

Moreover, the project is consistent with several goals and policies in the general plan. Specifically, goals 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Land Use Element and goals 1, 2, 3 of the Housing Element.

Goal 1 of the Land Use Element (LU) encourage responsible growth by providing a land use plan that improves the quality of life and respects the existing community. Policy 1.1 of the LU asks that new projects foster compatibility between land uses to enhance livability and promote healthy life styles. Policy 1.2 and

1.5 of the LU encourage innovative development policies to expand homeownership opportunities at all income levels and quality infill residential development that provide a diversity of housing type for all income levels and age groups. Policy 1.8 of the LU encourages development tradeoff to ensure that new development project provide a net community benefit. Goal 2 of the LU supports the balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. Policy 2.4 supports the balance of benefits of development with fiscal impacts on the city and on quality of life for the community. Policy 2.6 promotes rehabilitation of properties and encourages increased levels of capital
investment to create a safe and attractive environment.

Goal 3 of the LU encourages the preservation and
improvement of the character and integrity of the existing neighborhoods and districts. Policy 3.1 of the LU supports new development that provides a net community benefit and contributes to the neighborhood character and identity. Policy

3.2 supports the facilitation of community engagement and dialogue in policy decisions and outcomes affecting land use and development, with supplemental opportunities for
proposed planning activities within environmental justice area boundaries. Policy 3.4 ensures that the scale and massing of new development is compatible and harmonious with the
surrounding built environment. Policy 3.7 promotes a clean, safe, and creative environment for Santa Ana’s residents, workers, and visitors.

EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 210 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

Goal 4 of the LU supports a sustainable Santa Ana through improvements to the built environment. Policy 4.1 encourages the promotion of complete neighborhoods by encouraging a mix of complementary uses, community services, and people places within a walkable area. Policy 4.2 maintains and improves the public realm through quality architecture, street trees, landscaping, and other pedestrian-friendly amenities.

Policy 4.6 supports diverse and innovative housing types that improve living conditions and promote a healthy environment.

Policy 4.7 Promote mixed-income developments with mixed housing types to create inclusive communities and
economically diverse neighborhoods. Policy 4.8 supports the collaboration with property owners, community organizations, and other local stakeholders to identify opportunities for additional open space and community services, such as
community gardens and gathering places
Goal 1 of the Housing Element (HE), supports livable and affordable neighborhoods with healthy and safe housing
conditions, community services, well-maintained
infrastructure, and public facilities that inspire neighborhood pride and ownership. Policy 1.2 supports projects that
encourage neighborhood involvement and active participating in neighborhood organizations to help identify needs and implement programs aimed at beautification, improvement, and preservation of neighborhoods. To date, the project has hosted two sunshine meetings with the local neighborhood and revised the project based on cumulative community
feedback and inspires pride in homeownership due to the project being for-sale.

Goal 2 of the HE supports fostering inclusive community with a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana’s residents and
workforce of all household types, income levels, and age groups. Policy 2.5 encourages the facilitation of diverse housing types, prices, and size of housing. The project includes duplex units that contain bedroom ratios suitable for families. Policy 2.6 supports excellence in architectural design through the use of materials and colors, building treatments, landscaping, open space, parking, and environmentally
sensitive (“green”) building and design practices. The project includes a high-quality farmhouse architectural design that incorporates a mix of exterior materials and enhanced
landscaping.

EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 211 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

Goal 3 of the HE supports the Increase in opportunities for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income
individuals and families to find affordable housing, and afford a greater choice of rental and homeownership opportunities.

Policy 3.2 encourages expanding home homeownership
opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents and workers in Santa Ana through the provision of financial assistance, education, and collaborative partnerships.

The project is a 100-percent affordable housing project, providing six lower income households the opportunity to obtain homeownership status. Policy 3.5 encourages
collaboration with nonprofit organizations, community land trusts, developers, and other government agencies to develop and provide affordable housing for residents. The project applicant, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, is a nonprofit housing developer and has received pre-commitment funds from the City of Santa Ana Housing Division in support of the development of six affordable for-sale units.

3. That the deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for the Applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the development pursuant to section 41-1603.

The proposed project requires four deviations through
incentives/concessions: (1) setbacks, (2) front-yard fencing, (3) building separation, and (4) open space. Moreover, one (1) waiver is requested in relation to the location of the trash enclosure. The deviations are described as follows:

Minimum Setback Requirements (Incentive/Concession)
SAMC Section 41-251 requires a minimum rear setback of 10- feet if at least 1,200 square-feet of open space is provided, exclusive of side-yard areas.

As proposed, the project provides a rear setback of 6-feet and 1,204 square feet of open space areas, excluding the sideyard areas. Strict adherence to this setback requirement would result in a reduction in the number of units that can be provided in the overall project, thus reducing the Applicant’s ability to achieving the density bonus to which the Applicant is entitled under the Density Bonus Law and affecting the
feasibility to construct the project. In order to comply with the required setback requirement and maintain the current
proposed unit count, the developer would be required to EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 212 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

construct additional floor levels, which would exceed the maximum allowable height as part of the Two-Family
Residential (R-2) zoning district, and would further increase development costs making the project economically
infeasible. To help alleviate the setback deficiency, the project proposes a 29’-0 3/4” upper-story setback from the rear of the property to control the mass and bulk of the structure towards the rear.

Front-yard Fence Height Restriction (Incentive/Concession) SAMC Section 41-610 (a)(1) requires that fencing within the Front-yard area (defined in SAMC Section 41-172 as the yard extending across the full width of the lot, the depth of which is the distance between the front lot line and the main wall of the building.) be a maximum of three feet in height on frontages that abut a non-arterial street as designed in the Mobility Element of the General Plan.

Maintaining the height restriction would result in reduction in private open space for Unit 1 and trigger non-compliance of SAMC Section 41-622.5 in which no mechanical equipment, such as an AC condenser, may be located between the
building wall and the side property line. In order to maintain the current proposed unit count, the developer would be required to fully redesign the site, further increasing development costs and potentially leading to a loss of
residential units, and a loss of further private open space. To help alleviate this deficiency, the landscape plans provide enhanced screening proposals which include vertical
landscaping elements to ensure a harmonious transition from the front-yard’s plants/shrubs to the built structure.

Building Separation (Incentive/Concession)
SAMC Section 41-254 (a) requires a minimum setback of 15 feet between primary structures.

The proposed development is proposing a reduced setback of 10-feet between the front duplex and the center duplex, and a 9-foot setback between the center duplex and the rear duplex. In order to comply with the minimum building setback requirements, the developer would be required to provide a full redesign of the site and/or reduce the number of units provided onsite. This would result in further increasing development costs and may result in the loss of potential units onsite.

EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 213 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

Open Space Requirement (Incentive/Concession)
SAMC Section 41-255 requires a minimum 100 square feet of private space to be provided per unit in the form of a private patio or deck, with minimum dimensions of eight (8) feet.

As proposed, the designated private space for Unit 5 in the form of a 13’ x 7’ (91 square foot) balcony is less than 100 square-feet and less than eight (8) feet in minimum
dimensions. Strict adherence to the 100 square foot and eight (8) foot minimum dimension requirement would structurally encroach into the required drive-aisle, require a redesign of the site. This would result in further increasing development costs and may result in the loss of potential units onsite Trash Enclosure Location (Waiver)
SAMC Section 41-623 requires that trash and utility areas be screened from public streets and alleys as well as be
physically integrated into the project.

As proposed, the trash enclosure is located towards the front of the property. Strict adherence to SAMC 41-623 would
require a full redesign of the site to accommodate for trash pickup located towards the rear of the property. This would further increase development cost and may result in the loss of potential units onsite. To help alleviate this deficiency, the landscape plans provided propose to screen the trash
enclosure with vertical landscaping elements to ensure the structure is not visible to the street.

Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites that:

1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the requirement in section15192(b) regarding community-level environmental review, such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section 65943 of the Government Code.

2. Meet both of the following size criteria:

A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area.

B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 square feet.

EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 214 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location:

A. The project is a residential project on an infill site.

B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop.

4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units:

A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units.

B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances:
1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively presumed to promote higher density infill housing.
2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density greater than the average density of the residential properties within 1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise.

5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The project would result in housing units being made available to moderate, low, or very low income families as set forth in either A or B below:

A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code.
1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or
2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or
3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income.

B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has paid or will pay in-lieu fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required pursuant to subparagraph (A).

The proposed project meets the criteria listed in Section 15195 as the project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in for sale housing units made available to low income families. Specifically, the project would exceed the minimum affordable requirements outlined in Section 15195, which states that tenpercent of for sale projects need to be sold to families of moderate income. This project proposes to sale 100-percent of the units to low income households. Moreover, the developer has provided sufficient legal commitments to ensure continued availability and use of housing units for lower income households for a period exceeding 30 years.

EXHIBIT 4
City Council 12 – 215 7/16/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XX

In addition, the project is also exempt from further review per Section 15303 (Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). The Class 3 categorical exemption consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. In urbanized areas, this exemption applies to apartments, duplexes, and similar structures designed for not more than six (6) dwelling units. Pursuant to the California Public Resources Code, “Urbanized Area” includes an incorporated city that has a population of at least 100,000 persons. The City of Santa Ana exceeds the population requirements, and is therefore considered an urbanized area. Therefore, the proposed project can be exempt pursuant to the Class 3 exemption, as no more than six (6) unit multi-family residential units are proposed. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-44, will be filed for this project.

Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve the legal counsel providing the City’s defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action.

Section 4. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the public meeting, hereby approves Density Bonus Agreement No. 2024-01 as conditioned in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated as though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said meeting, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for City Council Action dated July 16, 2024, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public comments, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) maintains most City facilities, including the Council Chambers Restrooms and Translator Room. Over the last few years, the Council Chambers has undergone renovations including new paint, flooring, and seating. In efforts to continue providing the public, City Council, and staff with a safe and accessible meeting space, the City Manager’s Office and Risk Management plan to continue with renovations by modifying the public restrooms to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant and creating a new translation room. The restrooms will be renovated from a male and female restroom to two public single use all gender bathrooms and one ADA all gender restroom. Additionally, there will be one new all gender restroom available only for council members as an enhanced safety measure (Exhibit 1). The new translation (interpreter) room will allow for higher quality translations with a sound controlled space to allow for a larger variety of languages to be translated. This will increase accessibility for more Santa Ana residents to participate in council meetings while also increasing the professionalism of the meetings through greater varieties of translations and higher quality sound control.

Public Outreach and Contractor Participation
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, staff specifically reached out to Santa Ana vendors to encourage their participation in bids. A total of three bids were received. Bids were not received from any Santa Ana contractors. The project was advertised in PlanetBids from April 19 through May 10, 2024.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA)’s Engineering Services Division supports public and private property development by reviewing plans and issuing permits. In prior years, the City has utilized consultant firms on an as-needed basis to meet the goals and objectives of the City. The volume of development activity fluctuates and on-call plan checking services are required to keep up with demand and deliver timely services for the community.

The plan checking and permit fees that the City charges developers are based on cost recovery and the on-call nature of the recommended contracts ensures that the City can maintain responsiveness. The table shown below summarizes the number of permits that PWA has issued over the last five fiscal years.

On March 19, 2024, PWA released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for on-call engineering plan check services. Seventeen (17) proposals were evaluated by a review committee, where each firm was rated according to its organization, credentials, resumes, references, and fees to provide the required services.

Staff recommends that Willdan Engineering, Inc., TKE Engineering, Inc., Charles Abbott Associates, Inc., Harris & Associates, Inc., and Cannon Corporation be retained to provide On-Call Engineering Plan Check Services (Exhibits 1-5).

In order to provide the best services to the City, staff will endeavor to distribute work equally among the five consultants, but reserves the right to assign more work to one or more consultants over another based on type of availability of staff and performance, among other factors.

1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
On an on-call basis, and at the City’s sole discretion, Contractor shall perform the services described in the scope of work that was included in RFP No. 24-035, which is attached as Exhibit A, and as more specifically delineated in Contractor’s proposal, which is attached as Exhibit B and incorporated in full.

Subconsultants
Willdan provides full service, in-house professional engineering plan checks, consulting, and design services for many varied developmental and capital improvement projects, including residential and commercial developments, roadway, grading, drainage, water, sewer, major highway facilities, bridge structures, traffic signals, and signing and striping improvements. As such, we can perform the plan check services requested by the City without the involvement of team sub-consultants.

Understanding of Need & Work Approach
Willdan is noted for open lines of communication and flexibility in providing plan review services. We can provide reviews of hard copy or electronic documents. Coordination of all plan reviews will be through Mr. Stein. We understand that site visits may be required to the project locations and when so conducted, photographs will be taken and documented in the project file. It is expected that plan checks should not exceed four (4) total plan checks which includes three (3) plan reviews and one (1) final mylar review for approval if required by the City. Willdan’s approach to the plan review process is shown in the flow chart and as follows:

Plan Review Process
Process Items 1 through 3: Once Willdan is notified of
a plan review assignment, it is logged into the tracking system and distributed to discipline leaders.

Process Item 4 through 5b: Our professionals perform
a preliminary review of the plans to obtain an
understanding of the site and improvements, as well as
to identify any substantial errors or omissions such as obvious utility conflicts. These can become critical issues that necessitate substantial redesign. If critical issues are identified, they will be brought to the City’s attention to determine whether the review should continue or be
suspended pending the required redesign.

Process Item 6: Saving review time allows for saving
time for the developer, which is essential to a project schedule. Once a plan check is complete and ready for
further review, the reviewers electronically review the documents electronically and provide comments in an
electronic format acceptable to the City.

Process Item 7-9: At the completion of the plan review, a comment matrix will be created to summarize
comments from all disciplines reviewed. Documents will
be entered into the tracking system and the City will be notified.

Process Item 10: Willdan will be available to support the City on any inquiries during QA/QC period as required.

City Council 15 – 25 7/16/2024
Proposal for On-Call Plan Checking Services 10
Willdan provides all administrative, professional, and other technical resources necessary to review designs for completeness and correctness without the need for subconsultants.

In our communication process, we can transmit rough drafts of our comments back to the City for review prior to the preparation of final copies. This gives the City staff the prerogative of changing, modifying, or adding any comments they desire. Following approval of draft comments, final copies are printed on an agency letterhead, or as otherwise directed, and forwarded to the applicant and/or returned to the City. This process assures local input and knowledge of the content of corrections and produces continuity between the jurisdiction and the consultant. Plan reviewers will be available to discuss and clarify plan check issues with the City staff, designers, owners, and contractors. Willdan will utilize Bluebeam software for plan review. The electronic format provides efficiency in the distribution and recordation of plan review comments and responses. Mylar plans ready for approval by the City Engineer will be initialed, and a letter will be provided stating that the design is in substantial compliance with the applicable local, state, and federal requirements.

Deliverables to the client and applicant for a typical plan check will include electronic delivery of reviewed plans and documents and a corresponding plan review comment letter. For projects containing the review of multiple documents, the plan review comments will be consolidated into one comprehensive comment letter.

Throughout the plan check process, Willdan will be available to meet with City Staff and/or the developers’ consultant with 48 hours advance notice. Willdan will tailor our in-house checklists to meet the City requirements. We routinely utilize check lists to track the completion of the various plan check requirements. They promote consistency in reviews and can be used in-house only or distributed to the City and applicant as directed.

Electronic Plan Review
Willdan has been providing plan review services electronically for over 17 years. The Geocivix electronic plan review process is a web-based program utilizing software that enables a plan reviewer to insert annotations (comments) on plans and create issues (comments) within a letter format. Services are provided at the request of the applicant or the agency we serve. Submittals can be accepted either in hard copy, whereby Willdan converts the plans to
electronic format, or electronic copy in a PDF or TIF format.

Willdan will review plans and can transmit the electronic redlined plans back to the applicant or the City as directed, in either electronic or hard-copy format. The reviewers can create a comment letter with links to the electronic project pages under review. All administrative tools are provided for correspondence, tracking, stepping through stages,
and administering all access privileges. This service allows for collaboration between the City, designer, and plans examiner to facilitate a complete understanding of plan review comments and can reduce shipping, printing, and time for the plan review.

We understand that the City currently uses Project Doxx as their electronic plan review platform. Willdan has worked with many different platforms such as LMS, TRAKiT and Energov and found the learning curve to be minimal for each one as they are similar. Willdan can both work directly within the City’s current system or augment with Willdan’s developed platform based on the City’s preference.

Willdan will utilize electronic plan reviews to help streamline the review process via the use of Bluebeam.

Multidiscipline reviews can utilize a Bluebeam Studio Session. These sessions allow all reviewers to markup the plan set as one cohesive team. All comments are seen by the whole team allowing immediate input and feedback between disciplines as if they are marking up the plans over the same table. Several of our clients use permit tracking software such as LMS, TRAKiT or Energov and we are proficient in the use of those software platforms as well. We will coordinate our review services with the City’s permit tracking system.

Responsiveness to City Staff and Project Requirements
Willdan has identified four major components to facilitating reviews as shown below:

Outline of Quality Assurance Program
Many of the Willdan Team members have performed plan and document review services for cities relative to public facilities and building development in the past decade and are doing so currently.

In accomplishing development application/permit reviews, our team members have developed a proven approach to the plan review process that includes organization and documentation, matching staff to assignments and partnering with appropriate sub-consultants (when needed), applicant’s consultants, and the client agency to help deliver a successful project. A successful project application review begins with the submittal of a complete improvement plan review package of relevant materials, including the project conditions of approval or compliance matrices, required regulatory submittals, all related improvement design plans, along with the accompanying subdivision maps and technical reports to the City offices. (It is vital that the submittal packages received are complete and contain all the necessary reference materials to facilitate a thorough and timely plan/document review).

Once a complete project review package of materials is assigned to our Willdan team members, we will promptly undertake the review process. If incomplete submittals are received, the City will be notified immediately to avoid wasting review time and fees. Notations of incomplete submittals will be done by listing identified submittal deficiencies for the involved parties’ reference and use. Once the submittal content is complete, checking will be resumed. At that point, we will do our best to keep the resumed plan review process on the revised time track.

Willdan’s Project Manager will be the first point of contact in our review team for each submittal and correspondence. Other submittal review recipients will be established and contacted during the submittal review, as necessary. This step will be part of expediting the assigned project distribution and return for best effectiveness.

As the plan review begins, our staff will utilize the various City plan review checklists to maintain compliance with the City standards, conditions of approval, and established practice. As required, Willdan will review the project materials received and record the review comments on a comments matrix and provide appropriate ‘red-lined’ notations on the reviewed documents. Willdan reviewers have been trained to provide clear and concise comments that have specific standard references to avoid any confusion.

A typical plan check comment might be: “The project proposes 8” curb and gutter on Alpha Street. The plans show 18” gutter pan. Revise the gutter pan to be 24” to be in conformance with City Standard Plan No. 120.” Upon receiving the comment, the applicant knows exactly what to do per each specific standard.

Willdan’s QA program is broken into four major phases, as outlined below.

Timely technical reviews
of complete plans and
reports to control cost
and meet schedules.

This eliminates delays
and adds costs that
result in inaccurate
review package
submittals.

Record keeping utilizing inhouse tracking software,
digital files, plan check
mark-ups and reference
materials while logged in
the City tracking system is
part of our facilitating
process.

Communication between
the plan reviewer(s) and
the Engineer of Record
facilitates issue resolution
and will be done through
phone calls, e-mails, &
teleconference meetings
to facilitate reviews.

Paper Trails keep the City
and others informed
through CCs of Review
Matrix, e-mails, phone
calls, tracking logs, and City
tracking system will be
given priority by our team
members.

Our goal is not limited to project processing only, but includes the incorporation of value engineering and
constructability review. Through the evaluation and
management of specific alternatives, we will facilitate the delivery of the most cost-effective project
alternative that meets design requirements and will
provide for the greatest opportunity for expedited
construction.

TKE’s management approach includes:

Monthly Progress Reports – TKE documents project
progress for all plan check projects assigned to TKE
by a comprehensive plan check summary log. The
summary log includes project name and related
number, plan description, plan check number, date of

the major issues described below. Prior to beginning
plan checking services, we would perform the
following:

Communication – Communications with agencies’
staff is another important component to effective
project management. In addition to the monthly
progress reports, TKE meets with clients as needed
to ensure the projects are proceeding as
anticipated. We document each discussion or
meeting with notes and electronically mail them to the
project team within three days of the
meeting/conference indicating action items and a
schedule for completion of these items.

We have identified the following key elements which
are vital to quality plan check delivery:

Record Keeping – TKE keeps records in an
organized filing system both in hard copy and
electronic forms. This organized filing system allows
TKE to access records immediately should they be
needed.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management will be an essential element in
project delivery. Effective communications will lead
to effective management. Management will include

Rubidoux Community Services District, and Mission Springs Water District. TKE’s approach has
consistently allowed our partner agencies to fulfill
their missions of delivering the best value for the
public’s investment.

Team Meeting – Team meetings include all parties
that have any interest in the project development. In
particular, the City’s Engineering and Public Works
Departments will be a close working partner with TKE
in determining plan check requirements and
conditions for development and capital projects.

REGULATORY, SUBDIVISION MAP ACT AND

CITY STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
Another primary function of the Plan Checker is to
verify compliance with all aspects of federal, state,
and local laws as well as the subdivision map act and
City standards. TKE is already well versed with
federal, state and local development law and the map
act requirements. Furthermore, TKE is extremely
knowledgeable of City standards and will verify that
all design related to engineering components are
prepared in accordance with these requirements and
standards.

DIGITAL PLAN CHECKING
TKE is familiar with digital plan checking and
equipped to provide digital plan checking services in
two different manners. We are equipped with Blue
Beam to provide fully digital plan checking
services. With Blue Beam, the City and development
community would also need to have the appropriate
software and computer capabilities to process and
review the plan checks. Many City’s we currently
provide plan checking services for are not yet
equipped with these capabilities, therefore we
provide another form of digital plan checking to
accommodate such cities. For cities that are not
capable of fully digital plan check services, we are
able to accept a pdf submittal, review and print
necessary plans in-house and provide pdf plan check
plans and reports back to the City.

AGREEMENT WITH HARRIS & ASSOCIATES, INC. TO PROVIDE ON-CALL

ENGINEERING PLAN CHECK SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF SANTA ANA THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 16th day of July, 2024 by and between Harris & Associates, Inc., a California corporation (“Contractor”), and the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California (“City”).

RECITALS
A. On March 19, 2024, the City issued Request for Proposal (“RFP”) No. 24-035, by which it sought qualified firms to provide on-call engineering plan check services for the City’s Public Works Agency.

B. Contractor submitted a responsive proposal that was among those selected by the City. Contractor represents that it is able and willing to provide the services described in the scope of work that was included in RFP 24-035.

C. In undertaking the performance of this Agreement, Contractor represents that it is knowledgeable in its field and that any services performed by Contractor under this Agreement will be performed in compliance with such standards as may reasonably be expected from a professional engineering firm in the field.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective promises, and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
On an on-call basis, and at the City’s sole discretion, Contractor shall perform the services described in the scope of work that was included in RFP No. 24-035, which is attached as Exhibit A, and as more specifically delineated in Contractor’s proposal, which is attached as Exhibit B and incorporated in full.

2. COMPENSATION
a. City neither warrants nor guarantees any minimum or maximum compensation to Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor shall be paid only for actual services performed under this Agreement at the rates and charges identified in Exhibit C. Contractor is one of five (5) contractors selected to provide engineering plan check services on an on-call basis under RFP 24-035. The total annual compensation for the services provided by all such contractors selected under RFP 24-035 shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($300,000). The total aggregate amount to be expended by all such contractors during the full term of the Agreement, including extension periods, if any, shall not not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($1,500,000). b. Payment by City shall be made within 45 days (forty-five) days following receipt of proper EXHIBIT 4
City Council 15 – 144 7/16/2024
invoice evidencing work performed, subject to City accounting procedures. Payment need not be made for work which fails to meet the standards of performance set forth in the Recitals which may reasonably be expected by City.

3. TERM
This Agreement shall commence on the date first written above for an initial three year term and terminate on June 30, 2027, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 16, below. The term of this Agreement may be extended for a single, two-year extension upon a writing executed by the City Manager and City Attorney.

4. PREVAILING WAGES
Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. If the services being performed are part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws.

Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

5. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor shall, during the entire term of this Agreement, be construed to be an independent contractor and not an employee of the City. This Agreement is not intended nor shall it be construed to create an employer-employee relationship, a joint venture relationship, or to allow the City to exercise discretion or control over the professional manner in which Contractor performs the services which are the subject matter of this Agreement; however, the services to be provided by Contractor shall be provided in a manner consistent with all applicable standards and regulations governing such services. Contractor shall pay all salaries and wages, employer's social security taxes, unemployment insurance and similar taxes relating to employees and shall be responsible for all applicable withholding taxes.

6. OWNERSHIP OF MATERIALS
This Agreement creates a non-exclusive and perpetual license for City to copy, use, modify, reuse, or sublicense any and all copyrights, designs, and other intellectual property embodied in plans, specifications, studies, drawings, estimates, and other documents or works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, including but not limited to, physical drawings or data magnetically or otherwise recorded on computer diskettes, which are prepared or caused to be prepared by Contractor under this Agreement (“Documents & Data”). Contractor shall require all subcontractors to agree in writing that City is granted a non-exclusive and perpetual license for any Documents & Data the subcontractor prepares under this Agreement. Contractor represents and warrants that Contractor has the legal right to license any and all Documents & Data. Contractor makes no such representation and warranty in regard to Documents & Data which were provided to Contractor by the City. City shall not City Council 15 – 145 7/16/2024
be limited in any way in its use of the Documents and Data at any time, provided that any such use not within the purposes intended by this Agreement shall be at City’s sole risk.

7. INSURANCE
Prior to undertaking performance of work under this Agreement, Contractor shall maintain and shall require its subcontractors, if any, to obtain and maintain insurance as described below for the entire Term of this Agreement against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from or in connection with services, products and materials supplied to City. Total cost of such insurance shall be borne by Contractor.
a. Minimum Scope and Limit of Insurance

1. Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Required policy limits can be met with primary and umbrella/excess insurance policies.

2. Automobile Liability: ISO Form Number CA 00 01 covering any auto (Code 1) with a limit no less than $1,000,000 combined single limits.

3. Workers’ Compensation: as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.

4. Professional Liability Insurance: with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $2,000,000 aggregate.

5. Broader Coverage: if the Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
b. Other Insurance Provisions

1. Additional Insured Status: The City, its City Council, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the Contractor’s CGL, Professional Liability, and Automobile Liability policies, with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connectionwith such work or operations.

2. Waiver of Subrogation: Contractor hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation that any insurer of said Contractor may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Contractor agrees to obtain any City Council 15 – 146 7/16/2024
endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

3. Primary Coverage: For any claims related to this contract, the Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

4. Severability of Interest: A severability of interest provision must apply for all the additional insureds, ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability.

5. Notice of Cancellation: Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, voided, reduced in coverage or in limits, non-renewed by the carrier, or materially changed except after thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to City. Ten (10) days prior written notice shall be provided to City for policy cancellation or non-renewal due to non-payment of premium.

6. Self-Insured Retentions: Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.

7. Acceptability of Insurers: Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.

8. Claims Made Policies: If any of the required policies provide coverage on a claimsmade basis: (1) the Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of the contract; (2) Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least three years after completion of work; (3) If coverage is canceled or nonrenewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the contract effective date, Contractor must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of three years after completion of work.

9. Verification of Coverage: Contractor shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage requiredby this clause) and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to City before work begins. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Contractor’s obligation to provide them.

The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies,including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.

City Council 15 – 147 7/16/2024

10. Subcontractors: Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors.

11. Special Risks or Circumstances: City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of therisk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION

The parties agree that any terms or conditions of any purchase order or other instrument that are inconsistent with, or in addition to, the terms and conditions hereof, shall not bind or obligate Contractor or the City.

Cover Letter  1

1.a. Cover Letter: On-Call Engineering Plan Check Services, RFP No.: 24- 035
Dear Mr. Elias:

Harris & Associates (Harris) is ready to partner with City of Santa Ana (City) staff on the upcoming contract to provide on-call engineering plan check services.

Based on our demonstrated ability to prioritize competing deadlines, perform expedited and thorough plan check reviews, formulate efficient and effective solutions, and maintain a high level of customer service, our team is able to offer the following benefits:

A Nimble and Flexible Approach Predicated on Communication. Clear and consistent communication with all parties is the foundation of our project management approach. Our team will communicate with City staff on the status of plan checks, identify unresolved challenges, anticipate potential delays, propose solutions, and outline tasks to expedite approvals. We have found that keeping key stakeholders involved at all review stages creates a greater sense of engagement with the City’s process. With Harris’ support, applicants will find doing business with the City straightforward and uncomplicated, which promotes a strong relationship and continued partnership.

Familiar and Responsive Project Manager. Project Manager Craig Siefert, PE brings over 20 years of experience to this contract. He has led and supported hundreds of plan check projects from entitlement review through construction. Having worked with the Cities throughout Southern California, Craig understands the local processes in place and will assign key task leads to help track and maintain plan checks at the City. Craig will be able to maneuver fluidly through competing deadlines to meet the City’s shifting priorities.

Depth and Breadth of Resources. We have the ability to ramp up our resources since we have trained staff at our local offices to provide additional support when plan check submittals increase. We have developed custom checklists that we have appended to City checklists to capture nuances that are associated with specific types of development. With the assignment of plan reviews to our team, shown in our organizational chart, we can turn plan checks around quickly without impacting the consistency of comments.

Plan Checking Experience. Our staff assigned to plan check have designed the same type of facilities they are plan checking. The advantage of having this type of team is to leverage the fundamental understanding of placing infrastructure in certain locations and determining the constructability and operational practicality of the facility.

Collectively, the Harris team’s strengths and previous working relationships with similar agencies provide a core team that will deliver the responsive, quality services that you expect. We look forward to partnering with the City on this important contract.

Sincerely,
Harris & Associates, Inc.

Harris & Associates, Inc. 1.d. Understanding of Need/Scheduled Delivery  4

1.D. UNDERSTANDING OF NEED/SCHEDULED DELIVERY
Anticipated Approach
Harris supports our clients’ goals of stimulating local communities, continuing growth, and promoting
development. Our review services track record has
given Harris an in-depth roadmap for providing a
positive client and applicant experience.

Plan review is a balancing act between expediting
plan checks and approvals for projects, ultimately
benefiting the community while protecting the City’s
interests throughout the life of infrastructure. We keep our projects on successful paths by having key senior
staff involved at each phase, timely evaluation of
planned versus actual progress, and an emphasis on
communication with our clients. These monitoring
methods and cost-control mechanisms provide
adherence to expedited timelines and allow
flexibility for response to the needs of the City
and increased service demand.

Our office is located in Irvine, California and is
organized with multi-talented staff members and
a reputation for responsiveness. In addition to our
integrated quality control measures, the Harris team
will be available to provide: 1) Prioritization of
competing deadlines for various City projects,
while completing thorough plan checks in the
required time frame; 2) A deep pool of multidisciplined resources capable of addressing anticipated services; and 3) Clear communication
with City staff in various departments as well as
with applicants—making Harris an extension of
City staff.

Scheduling
Key to our success has been to communicate
effectively amongst the City, Harris’ lead plan
checker, and the Harris support team. It is important
to make sure the plan checks are logged in correctly
and key staff are assigned to conduct the reviews.

Our approach to meeting the City’s designated
timeframe is predicated on the synchronization and
balance of two critical factors:

Communication. Consistent communication
allows the Harris team to understand and meet your
expectations. The team will work side-by-side with
the City to understand your priorities and develop and
implement strategies to streamline our services. As
priorities shift, this communication will enable
the team to adjust resources to meet your needs.

Flexibility. The Harris team will provide the City with resources who are able to maneuver fluidly through
competing priorities and deadlines. Understanding
the City’s priorities will enable the team to adjust
resources and effectively manage our time in
order to meet your schedule.

Maintaining a Project Database
Harris will maintain a database that includes:1) Plan
check tracking log (Excel) and electronic documents;
2) Project specific folders for approved conditions
of approval/City requirements; and 3) Subdivision
ordinances and other regulations.

Improvement Plan Checklist
Our team will utilize standard checklists during
plan review to make sure City guidelines are
implemented on design submittals. These checklists
include: 1) City’s development code and guidelines;
2) Standard notes and conditions of approval; 3)
Reference drawings; 4) Standard plans/drawings
and specifications; 5) City preferences learned
through experience and discussion; and 6) Routing
list and collection of interdepartmental comments, as
appropriate.

Development Management
Documentation for management and review work,
from meeting agendas and minutes to plan review
forms and plan check log, is critical. The Harris
team will: 1) Provide experienced, responsive,
and flexible resources to address the fluctuating
workload demands; 2) Provide review of
improvement plans rooted in the understanding
of the City’s standards plans, processes, and
procedures; 3) Provide your project managers
and applicants with a summary of plan review
comments, thus eliminating schedule delays
due to new or unresolved comments during

Harris & Associates, Inc. 1.d. Understanding of Need/Scheduled Delivery  5 subsequent submittals; and 4) Achieve alignment
with City staff early in the project to address
existing nonstandard field conditions and
associated improvements.

Electronic Plan Submittal, Plan Check, and
Document Management
With established submission requirements, workflows
will verify that documents are up-to-date, applications are complete, and appropriate date/timestamps are
shown on the plans. These benefits provide the ability
to audit what has changed on a submittal (and by
whom), provide access to appropriate personnel, and
track plan review schedules. By utilizing electronic
submittal processes, agencies have increased the
speed of plan routing to departments, freed up
space previously used for plan storage, and created
an environmentally friendly system resulting in less
paper waste and pollution from physical plan delivery.

As an extension of the City, the Harris team’s
thorough understanding of these procedures
will create a near seamless transition with your
digital plan check process.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
Our QA/QC process will be led by Principal Agent
Craig Siefert, PE. His understanding of Agency
expectations and track record of leading development
programs will facilitate developing a QC program for
our services. He will be supported by AssociateIn-Charge/Project Manager Michael Wu, PE, who will also utilize Harris’ QC procedures to confirm
accuracy of all deliverables when leading projects. At
the inception of the project, we will verify that the City and project team understand the scope of services,
schedule, budget, and expected work deliverables.

Coordination of Submittals
Our approach to developing strong relationships with
City staff is predicated on trust and a commitment to
shared learning. Lessons learned, policies, and
procedures will be discussed and implemented,
updates to applicable standards will regularly be
provided, and plan/map check redlines will be
reviewed together, as necessary.

Community Involvement
Harris celebrates opportunities to create value for
the communities in which we live and work. From
everyday efforts to improve community infrastructure
and support development efforts to diving into the
trenches of community service, we actively seek
new ways to enhance our clients’ reputations as
excellent places to live and do business. Some of
these actions include:

Local Presence. We are active participants,
committee members, and leaders in local
organizations and industry events. We maintain a
local presence and continue to learn about our
community through active participation in many
professional organizations.

Sustainable Solutions for our Clients. Harris
develops solutions that balance environmental and
social benefits, while meeting client and project
objectives. Our client’s most successful projects—
and the ones we are most proud of—are those that
make the greatest impact on people’s lives. We
pride ourselves on the impacts made within
our clients’ footprints by providing solutions
to support the development of well-planned,
balanced, and self-sustaining communities.

Environmental Stewardship. Harris has a
corporate sustainability program that implements
sustainable solutions. Practices include paperless
offices modeled after the California Green Business
Program, recycling and the use of reusable and
recycled materials, and conservation of energy and
water. We encourage carpooling, public transit, and
cycling to work by promoting Bike to Work days and
selecting offices near public transit centers.

Harris has experience with ProjectDox, Bluebeam
Studio, and Accela portals related to plan
routing, review, and tracking. Our investment in
these services also includes large touchscreen
monitors which allow handwritten comments
to be projected directly on electronic sheets,
tracking/status spreadsheets to make sure due
dates are met, and web-based sharable storage
which empowers staff by giving them the means to
conduct electronic plan reviews more efficiently
than a physical set of plans allows for, share plan
status/comments with key stakeholders, and
archive plans for future reference.

2. SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SCHEDULE
Harris’ strength in plan check is based on a
foundation of cumulative knowledge and extensive
experience of implementing applicable Agency
standards, ordinances, and state and local laws that
are relevant to the delivery of plan check services.

Harris provides these services primarily to public
agencies and therefore has no conflict of interest.

Harris’ customer-oriented mindset contributes to
a quick plan review process and approval, as we
see ourselves as an extension to City staff.

Typical Services Provided for Public Works
Design Plan Check Services
Roadway, Driveway, Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter,
and Pedestrian Ramp Improvements Plan Check.

Improvements are checked to verify compliance with
City standards, any applicable specific/master plans,
applicable Caltrans standards and specifications,
Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, and
State American Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility
guidelines. Plans will be reviewed in City-approved
format with all the applicable notes and details, and
constructability with sufficient horizontal and vertical controls for staking purposes. Plan check reviews
will be conducted utilizing the City’s checklist and

laboratory testing program. We will evaluate the data
interpretation, approach, and method in developing
Harris has assisted public agencies with managing
all aspects of the plan and map review and
development process including infrastructure
capacity analysis, improvement plan checking,
development management systems, staff
training, tentative and final map reviews,
project construction cost estimates, and permit
processing.

City Council 15 – 165 7/16/2024
Harris & Associates, Inc. 2. Scope of Services and Schedule  10 recommendations for the slope improvements.

The review will be conducted to verify substantial
compliance with the requirements of the California
Building Code (CBC), Green Book, California
Geological Survey (CGS) Note 41, Guidelines for
Reviewing Geologic Reports, and CGS Special
Publication 117.

Subdivision Map Checking. Land surveying maps
and documents prepared for public agency review
have wide implications on both land ownership and
public safety. These documents create, describe,
modify, and encumber both public and private lands,
leaving a permanent impact on public resources and
private investment. The City’s oversight role is critical because these documents need to be prepared in
accordance with State laws and City ordinances
in addition to verifying their technical correctness.

Maps and documents are checked for compliance
with the State Subdivision Map Act, Land Surveyor’s
Act, applicable City codes and ordinances, approved
tentative map, and the conditions of approval.

Landscape and Irrigation Improvement Plan
Check. Our team will provide landscape and
irrigation review for parkways, medians, and all
areas within the right-of-way. There are standards
that must be followed whether the development is
employing potable or recycled water. Using reference
documents such as zoning maps, our team will
review submittals for completeness and compliance
with appropriate landscape and irrigation standards
including codes/requirements for water-efficient
landscaping. Understanding policies to promote
conservation and efficient use, while still providing
areas for recreation and environmental enhancement,
is a service the Harris team is capable of providing.

Traffic Signal Review. Our team will verify
conformance to all applicable standards and
requirements. Gaining a full understanding of the
City’s project goals and outlook will allow our team to see pertinent details and address any deviations. In
addition to review of signal interconnects, pull/junction boxes, signage, power, and detectors, our thorough
knowledge of current State standards (Caltrans),
Highway Design Manual, Highway Capacity Manual,
and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CA MUTCD) will allow Harris to advise the
City of any and all deviations from standards.

Signing and Striping Plan Check. Review of
final and interim placement of signs and striping
are conducted to verify conformance with the
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CAMUTCD), Caltrans Standard Plans,
City standards, Traffic and Transportation Design
Guidelines, and plan check checklists. Items revised
during plan check will be verified against applicable
traffic studies, standards and other active projects.

Street Light Plan Review. Our team will verify the
submitted plans are prepared in accordance with the
City’s traffic and transportation design guidelines,
City standards, and current Design Guide Checklists.

We will work to identify proper locations and types of
electrical service pedestals, particularly where street lights can be fed from traffic signal services.

Miscellaneous Reviews. Our team is capable
of reviewing potable water, recycled water,
sewer system, small cell tower, demolition,
telecommunication/dry utility facilities, CIP-related
improvements, and several other plan set designs on
behalf of the City upon request.

Schedule
We understand that timely comments are a critical
project success factor. Solutions are best found when
challenges are fresh in the designer and owners’
minds as well as the agency. We also understand that
the City’s position in conflict resolution can be highly compromised by delays.

Our flexible and responsive team of resources has
the capability to provide an expedited review in five
working days or less in response to the City’s needs
or increased demands. Harris demonstrates to
our clients our ability to meet their goals by
prioritizing competing deadlines for various City
projects, while completing thorough plan checks
in the required timeframe. The solution can be as
simple as adding resources at the City’s request,
which requires effective orchestration of Harris staff’s time, as well as communication with the City staff
to make sure the team thoroughly understands the
City’s expectations and any plans that might take
priority. This approach has been effective in meeting
our clients’ goals and deadlines providing similar
services.

Harris is committed to delivering timely services
within the set time lines of completing a first check
within 3-4 weeks and subsequent checks within 2
weeks.
