Other Services
Willdan’s experience in serving public agencies provides us with unmatched knowledge of the needs and services required by City departments. As we serve directly in City offices, we are keenly aware of how City CIP and design projects are planned, designed, and constructed. The services that we provide to clients on a routine basis include Civil Engineering, Traffic Engineering, Survey/Mapping/ Right -of- Way Engineering, Structural Engineering, Pavement Engineering, Stormwater Engineering, Geotechnical Engin eering, Landscape Architecture, Construction Management/Inspection, Utility Coordination and Permitting, Environmental Compliance and Permitting, Grant Funding, and Labor Compliance Management and Oversight. These are the core services that we provide daily to our clients and are prepared to offer them to the City of Santa Ana.

Firm and Team Expertise: On-Call Contracts
On-call engineering services are Willdan's foundation. Our staff includes former public agency employees or contract agency staff. Therefore, we understand the importance and purpose of on -call contracts and are very familiar with the processes and procedu res for such services. Within the last 8 years, Willdan has completed projects and task orders for more than 200 as-needed/on-call contracts.

This experience and the relevant experience of our dedicated and available key personnel are what best suits Willdan to provide the City with on-call services.

Our history of working with on-call contracts has prepared our staff to respond to all requests for services in a positive, efficient manner. Our firm's commitment to responsive service and successful project delivery has given us a reputation as a firm that can be trusted to listen to and to deliver a product our clients envision and embrace.

We begin our approach by adhering to these principles:
▪ Conduct business with truthfulness and high ethical standards. ▪ Approach each project with a spirit of resourcefulness and excellence. ▪ Seek appropriate solutions that fit the project.
▪ Maintain high standards of technical quality.

Willdan understands the unique aspect of working under an on -call contract.

Success in working with this type of contract is dependent upon understanding a variety of elements that may be encountered, such as:
▪ Short project durations and minimal lead times for assignments may be required. ▪ Flexibility in service assignments, understanding work to date, and coordinating completion of project tasks already started by agency staff in crucial projects. ▪ The availability of our staff to the work assignment as it develops is critical to moving a project forward.
▪ Efficient use of resources is important for project assignments that are relatively small. ▪ Consistent, organized project management is vital due to the potentially large numbers of projects that may be in process.

9 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, wat er, 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 necessi tate 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.

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 com ments 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 throug h 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.

Proposal for On-Call Plan Checking Services

11 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 re sumed 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 in-
house 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.
