Cannon brings the following benefits to the City:

Experienced and Customer-Service-Focused Plan Check Team: Cannon’s team is led by development plan check manager and main point of contact, Gary Solsona, PE, QSD, who has more than 22 years of engineering experience.

Specialized Subconsultants: We have selected four subconsultants to join our team. LOR Geotechnical Group, Inc. will provide review of geotechnical review; TJW will provide traffic review; BGB will provide landscape architectural and irrigation review, and ECORP will provide environmental review.

8 On-Call Engineering Plan Check Services RFP #24-035
Project Understanding
The City of Santa Ana (City) is seeking an engineering
consultant to provide complete plan check services
on an on-call, as needed basis. The services include
review of civil related improvement plans, studies, and reports, including grading, sewer, storm drain, water
quality management plans (WQMP), drainage, and
erosion control.

We have built our team around the understanding
that plan check services should be provided by or
under the responsible charge of a California Licensed
Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor.

Our team’s plan check experience includes rough
grading, precise grading, hydrology and hydraulics,
street improvements, street lighting, erosion control,
WQMP, survey maps and easement plans, lot line
adjustments, utility easements, and map recordation.

We’ve developed a comprehensive and dynamic
program to successfully deliver on-call plan checking
review services for our clients. We understand
the importance of proactive communication,
responsiveness, and flexibility. We are accustomed to
being ready when called upon for specific assignments
to meet your expectations. Our team has the proven
ability to streamline the plan check review process
based on the systems and templates we’ve created
(such as our plan check log [Figure 1.]) to confirm
quality and promptness. Cannon is strongly committed
to serving our clients by truly listening to their project objectives, producing quality work, and completing plan check reviews on time or early, and within budget.

Figure 1. Sample of Cannon Plan Check Log
Approach
Cannon’s approach to provide plan check and map
check services to the City includes the following key
components:
• Communication Strategy
• Experienced Plan Check Team
• Plan Check Conformance
• Facilitating the Plan Check Process
• Electronic Development Plan Checking
• Record Keeping and Reporting
• Turnaround Time
Communication Strategy
At the top of this list of key components that will lead to project success is effective communication between
our internal review team and the City’s Project Manager and Staff. This will confirm we provide the City with
the support they are looking for to reduce the impact
to politically sensitive areas or disruption to the public.

The closest possible rapport will be developed with the City’s Project Manager to understand special budget
constraints, time schedules, and associated impacts.

By building on excellent communications, we will more
easily define problem areas, technical requirements,
and facilitate a smoother plan check review and
approval process.

Experienced Plan Check Team
Within our highly skilled staff of engineers, project
managers, quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC)
team, and constructability reviewers are personnel
that take their chosen profession very seriously. This
team strives for the highest quality of service for each project review. Because our plan check engineers
have extensive design experience using local, regional, and other applicable design standards on a day-to-
day basis, we can confirm the improvement plans and
associated reports and documents will meet the current
applicable codes and standards.

We have also structured our team to have flexibility
with meeting varying workload sizes. In addition to
our key personnel, Cannon is home to comprehensive
engineering staff who are ready to commence project
work immediately, should the need arise. We can meet
short-term workload needs by temporarily bringing in
other personnel and, with the City’s approval, meet

long-term needs with the addition or removal of other
trained staff.

Plan Check Conformance
Cannon also understands that, at a minimum, plan
check services will be provided in conformance with
the most current version of the following documents
and standards as applicable:
• Grading Plan Guidelines
• Street Improvement Guidelines
• Conditions of Approval and Title Reports
• City of Santa Ana Standard Plans
• Master Plans
• Municipal Code
• Grading Ordinance and Grading Plan Check
Requirements
• California Building Codes Chapters 18, 33, and
Appendix J
• APWA Standard Plans and Standard Specification
(Greenbook) for Improvements in Public R/W
• Caltrans Standard Plans
• Orange County Public Works Standard Plans
• Approved Specific Plans, Site Plans,
Environmental Documents, and/or Tentative and
Final Maps
• Grants, easements, or vacations as applicable
• Traverse, Lot and Tract Boundary Closures for
final or parcel maps Subdivision Map Act
• Model WQMP
• Orange County Technical Guidance Document
• CA MUTCD and WATCH
Facilitating the Plan Check Process
We understand the concern, need, and desire to
approve the plan check package at the first submittal.

It has been our experience that when plan checks
extend three review cycles, there is potentially an
issue or concern that has not been addressed up front
or there has been a breakdown in communication.

We have experienced success in the past by
implementing the following approach:
• Timely and complete technical reviews of the
submitted plans and associated reports.
• Sound record keeping and documentation of
when plan reviews are submitted and returned,
correspondence files, meeting minutes (if
necessary), plan check mark-ups, and reference
materials. When plan corrections are required, a
written plan correction list will be provided to the
applicant, or the applicant’s agent(s).
• With the City’s permission, communication
between plan reviewer(s) and the engineer/
architect of record through phone calls, e-mails,
faxes and/or plan check review meetings, as
needed. Keeping our client and the project owners
informed through CC’s of review memos, e-mails
and plan check logs.

On-line/Electronic Plan Review
We are committed to sustainable business practices,
as we’ve been performing electronic plan check
reviews for the past five years. Our objective with this process is to reduce waste and paper consumption
and save money, resources, and time by eliminating
mail or courier delivery services for hard copy pack-
ages, therefore reducing vehicle emissions.

We are aware the City utilizes ProjectDox to perform
plan check review of improvement plans, technical
studies and other documents. Our plan check team is
adept with ProjectDox having received formal training
on this cloud-based software alongside City staff
and we are currently licensed users with the City. We
are familiar with navigating through this cloud-based
software, such as:
• Reviewing open projects and accepting "my
tasks."
• Adding plan check comments using Changemark
tools and Simple Markup tools, basic markup
tools (highlighting, measurement, text box,

etc.), response functionality, standard Library
Comments.
• Reviewing prior comments to check if they've
been resolved.
• Resolving prior comments through the Review
Comments page.
• Using the Compare Files tool to compare
resubmittals with prior submittals.
• Completing plan check reviews in the E-form
window by changing Review Status to "Approved"
or "Corrections Required" and filling out the
Timesheet Log.

Already having experience with navigating and
utilizing ProjectDox allows our plan check team to “hit the ground running” on performing plan check reviews
with zero learning curve. Figure 2 below is a sample
of our on-line/electronic plan check comments.

Record Keeping and Reporting
Through years of experience, we have developed
streamlined procedures that produce timely,
accurate, and consistent plan reviews. Submitted
improvement plans will be logged into a plan check
log. The plan check log (see Figure 1 on page 7)
tracks the engineer of record, types of improvement
plans submitted, date submitted, due date to be
completed, and any significant comments or submittal
requirements outstanding for that plan review. Cannon
will provide regular updates (and as requested by the
City) of the status of plan reviews to report progress
and anticipated return dates of outstanding plan check
projects.

As part of our project controls, Cannon will keep a
record of when plans are received and returned in
our plan check log. Excellent communications will
allow us to define questionable areas, technical
requirements, and to facilitate a smooth review and
approval process.

Turnaround Time
We take no exception to the turnaround time as
outlined in the City’s RFP. If expedited reviews are
requested, we are open to having discussions with the
City and implementing these types of reviews.
