Question for 7/25/2022 City Council Meeting Sustarsic
I see in the proposal that Psomas says something about future tiering with a Program EIR. I wonder if this is because they are planning the Old Ranch project in 2 phases (first the senior apartment/medical office building and Assisted living building and parking structure; next, the hotel, restaurants, and recreation (new pool on present parking lot, rearrangement of driving range and tennis courts on top of parking structure)?
Answer: All changes to the site that are a part of the development proposal must be analyzed by this EIR. CEQA does not allow for what is called “piecemealing” where only a part of a project is analyzed.

A Program EIR is typically used for General Plans and Specific Plans when detailed project specific information is not available. A Program level EIR uses a broader approach, and when it is sufficiently comprehensive, further environmental review of activities (projects) may not be required or can be “tiered” from the Program EIR. To put it another way, future development would be evaluated based on what is proposed and would be subject to a “consistency evaluation” to see if it is consistent with the original project in the EIR, or if it requires further CEQA work such as an Addendum, negative declaration, or mitigated negative declaration, etc.

Note that when the environmental process for the project is initiated, if it is determined that “projectlevel” detail is available for the entire project, a project EIR may be prepared. This will be discussed at the kick-off meeting.

Would a Program EIR apply to development beyond what ORCC is presently planning? Answer: The early CEQA process – development of the project description and scoping – will establish what the EIR will consider. Therefore, the Program EIR could apply to development beyond what ORCSS is presently planning if future development is within the “envelope” of activities that was considered in the Program EIR. Reasonable alternative developments may be considered in the EIR, and some rounding is expected. For example, the specific plan currently includes 25,340 SF of medical office. The EIR may instead analyze up to 30,000 SF to allow for some wiggle room. Please note that in an EIR, you round or estimate upwards, not downwards, as that would result in additional work being required to implement the project.

The scope of the EIR is a balancing act. On the one hand, you often want the analysis to cover some level of change to the project. On the other hand, you don’t want to overstate the project and risk the potential impacts / mitigation measures being much higher than the project will cause / require.

In the document, they also refer to a legal case (Berkeley Keep Jets Over the Bay Committee v. Board of Port Commissioners of the City of Oakland). I have read over some of this decision, but I can’t tell what is exactly relevant to this project.

Answer: This case relates to potential impacts from aircraft noise on future residents of the project.

Given that 24-hour average noise may not be the best noise metric for aircraft noise, the analysis should include single-event (single pass-by event) noise impact, which is of short duration but high magnitude.

When Old Ranch submitted their project, they also submitted a Specific Plan along with it. I asked our Director of Development about that, and she told me that the city could make changes on something that they don’t like. However, I have not had any discussions with staff beyond that on the Specific Plan and wonder if, at this stage, I could be agreeing to something that would be more favorable to the developer than to the city. (I want to understand what I am voting for).

Answer: The vote tonight is to have an environmental analysis prepared based upon the development proposal, but the specific scope will be created as a part of the process. CEQA is about disclosure of potential environmental impacts for a development envelope, and as noted, crafting the scope is a balancing act. Tonight’s action does not approve a development.

I am also concerned with things like possible streamlining of the environmental process. The proposal discusses items in the EIR that may be “focused out” if it can be documented that there is no impact. Is this because a Program EIR is being done, or would that be the same for a Project EIR? Answer: This is a commonly used approach to focus the research and documentation on the areas that are more likely to have impacts. When an Initial Study is prepared along with an EIR, items that are determined not to cause significant impacts are no longer addressed in the EIR as the environmental evaluation is documented in the Initial Study for impacts that are not significant. Alternatively, agencies can jump straight into an EIR and not conduct an Initial Study, however, using an Initial Study is more efficient. It would be the same for a Project EIR.

I am presently most concerned with traffic studies because the proposal said that Psomas will be using a traffic study supplied by the developer for use in the PEIR. The West Ed property on Lampson has been sold and that developer is almost done with a plan for Housing on that site. The number of housing sites in their Housing Element is 362 for West Ed; however, I won’t know the number planned until August or September. If you add 154 proposed sites at Old Ranch and 362, that means over 500 housing sites proposed next to Lampson Avenue in the near future. The I-405 Improvement Project is also supposed to be completed by the end of 2023, which I feel will add traffic to Lampson as well. We will not know exactly how many until the freeway actually opens – an estimate by OCTA on that now would only be a guess. With two additional General-Purpose lanes ending at the LA county line northbound, and the toll lanes ending at the junction with the I-605, I expect more congestion northbound on the 405 (The draft EIR predicted a LOS F as the toll lanes end). I would expect there to be drivers in nearby cities who decide to bypass that congestion rather than enter the freeway in OC, and possibly others who might exit at Seal Beach Boulevard or Valley View to get out of the stoppage. For the first 3.5 years after opening, two-occupant vehicles will be allowed In the Express Lanes during non-peak hours. In 2027, two-occupant vehicles will no longer be allowed in the Express Lanes without payment at any time. The are my concerns with using a traffic study that has been done recently to apply to this project and potentially into years beyond.

Answer: The consultant will use existing counts (and compare to historical trends pre-pandemic) to create a baseline. Cumulative Projects (i.e., WestEd) will be collected from surrounding cities with ambient growth rate to include for near-term traffic conditions. OCTA’s growth model (OCTAM 5.0) will be used for long-term traffic buildout condition evaluations. Public Works has approved the scope of the study.

The city website (zoning) discusses SB 330 quite a bit and I see that that bill allows applicable developments to adhere to standards that apply at the time of application. Would SB 330 apply to this project?
Answer: The proposed project does not include the affordability restrictions required for an SB 330 project, and housing is not currently proposed as more 2/3rds of the project. These are two key requirements for permit streamlining, a primary goal of SB330.

There was a discussion about the NOP and Scoping Meeting and preparation of a Draft Initial Study for Public review. Then it stated, “The city may decide not to prepare an IS and only circulate the NOP for 30 days.” I am always concerned when it seems that the public may not be receiving as much information as possible. Would information in the Notice of Preparation be minimal? Answer: City staff will hold the scoping meeting and have the IS prepared, though CEQA does not require it. This note in the proposal is informational only, and Psomas has scoped the project to include these items. In and of itself, an NOP is a pretty simple document notifying the public that an EIR is going to be prepared, and soliciting input.

Why is choice of venue for legal disputes the County of Marin? Answer: This was in the template, and it unfortunately appears no one caught it – we will be updating the agreement.

SUBJECT: Report of City Manager and Department Heads Authorized Contracts
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In an effort to further increase transparency, the City Manager provides a quarterly report to the City Council that identifies all contracts executed by the City Manager.

The City Manager had the authority to approve and execute contracts up to the amount of $36,514 during the second quarter. As of July 25, 2022, the City Manager’s signing authority increased and is now $39,524.

Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 3.20.005 authorizes the City Manager to delegate spending authority to Department Heads. Other than the Director of Public Works and the Director of Finance/City Treasurer, this authority shall not exceed $15,000 per purchase or contract. For the Director of Public Works, the limit is established per the City’s Charter Section 1010. For the Director of Finance/City Treasurer, other than for Finance Department expenditures which is set at $15,000, there is additional authority to authorize purchases for City Departments up to the City Manager’s established contract signing authority.

Agenda Item F

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 25, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Craig A. Steele, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Review and Determine that the City Council will Continue to Conduct Public Meetings by Teleconference Pursuant to
Government Code Section 54953(e)
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council review the continuing need to conduct the City’s public meetings virtually and determine that in-person meetings would present imminent risks to public health and safety.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The City Council has met remotely throughout the pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. Remote meetings under relaxed Brown Act rules were permitted by Governor Newsom’s executive Order N-29-20, which expired on September 30, 2021. In its place, the Legislature passed AB 361, which became effective October 1, 2021. AB 361 continues to permit remote meetings during a proclaimed local emergency, if social distancing measures are required or recommended. New Government Code Section 54953(e) requires that the City Council review these requirements every 30 days, to determine whether in person meetings of City bodies would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees. If the City Council, Boards and Commissions continue to meet remotely, AB 361 requires that the public have real time opportunities to participate. The City Council previously determined to continue meeting remotely on June 13, 2022.

State, County and City-declared states of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic remain in effect. While California and Orange County residents have worked hard to reduce the spread of the virus, transmissions, hospitalizations and deaths remain at substantial levels in the community. Authorities, including Cal OSHA, recommend that businesses and entities continue to practice social distancing indoors as well as other measures to guard against the virus. Under the current circumstances, the City Council would be justified in determining that City bodies should continue to meet remotely under the rules set forth in Government Code Section 54953(e). Staff will provide the required real time public participation measures. As required by law, the City Council will review this matter every 30 days, as meeting schedules permit.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 25, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Iris Lee, Acting Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Approving and Authorizing Professional Services Agreements for On-Call Engineering and Plan Check
Services
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7314:

1. Approving and awarding a professional services agreement with Annealta Group, in the not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 to provide On-Call Professional Engineering and Plan Check Services for a three-year term; and,

2. Approving and awarding a professional services agreement with NV5, Inc. in the amount of $300,000 to provide On-Call Professional Engineering and Plan Check Services for a three-year term; and,

3. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the Agreements; and,

4. Authorizing the City Manager the option to extend any or all of the Agreements up to two (2) additional one-year terms after its original term for a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 per additional term.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The City plays an integral role in processing plans and permits for various residential and commercial development projects. The review process ensures compliance with Federal, State, and City standards, codes, designs, and specifications.

In efforts to address applicant needs more expeditiously, the Public Works Department has historically utilized contract services to provide plan check services. As the Department is anticipating an influx of proposed developments, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify additional qualified consultants to assist with this process.

Page 2 ends

On March 30, 2022, staff issued a RFP to publicly solicit on-call engineering and plan check services. On April 20, 2022, staff received eleven (11) proposals. The evaluation panel comprised of Public Works staff rated each consultant’s qualification based on their relevant firm experience, availability, familiarity with the City’s policies, understanding and approach, availability, amongst other factors.

Based on the evaluation panel’s review, the following firms were deemed most qualified. Reference checks for these firms indicate satisfactory proficiency and experience to provide the professional engineering plan check services.

1. Annealta Group

2. NV5, Inc.

Staff reviewed each firm’s labor and material rate schedule and found them to be consistent with industry standards. Funds for these services will be fully reimbursed by the development permit applicant(s).

The contract term is three (3) years and the City will have the option to extend the contract for up to two (2) additional one-year terms. Each On-Call Professional Engineering and Plan Check Services agreement is in a not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 for the three-year original term. Contract extensions will be prorated accordingly. Due to the on-call nature of this agreement, work is not guaranteed to the consultant.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that approval of professional services agreements will not have a significant effect on the environment.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:

The City Attorney has reviewed agreements and approved as to form.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The approval of the proposed Agreements does not directly appropriate or expend funds. Services performed by Annealta Group and NV5, Inc. under these Agreements will be fully reimbursed by the permit applicant(s).

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.

MEASURE BB:

Annealta’s unique combination of qualifications, experience and certifications will enable us to work effectively with the Public Works Department as well as other city departments in the successful delivery of projects for the City. Our company formed in 2015 in response to client demands for focused services provided by smaller, principal led firms as opposed to untailored services provided by some larger corporations in the market place. Our staff has a proven track record of successfully delivering projects and effectively coordinating with other city departments as project issues and deadlines dictate.

We provide the following services to cities/counties:
✓ Plan Review
✓ Construction Management
✓ Construction Inspection
✓ Public Works Staff Augmentation
✓ Program Management

✓ Organizational Assessments
Annealta Group Strengths
Today’s development environment can place increased demands on city staffing resources. Annealta Group can help alleviate or minimize this staffing resource burden and at the same time provide a high level of customer service in a budget friendly manner, and we possess the ability to adjust service levels as needed. We fully understand these resource demands, have experience in successfully providing services under these conditions and are committed to working for you and the residents of the City.

We propose to provide the City the following fundamental elements:
✓ Customer service. One of the keys to the success of your department is providing your customers (residents, architects, engineers, contractors) with excellent service. We are committed to providing a level of service to you and your constituents that will meet or exceed your expectations. ✓ Tailored, City-specific services. We deliver skilled and thorough planning services. Experienced staff will be assigned to projects that possess both the technical know-how and communication skills necessary to effectively process projects according to City policies and procedures. ✓ Effective Coordination with other City Departments. We are proud of our staff’s track record of effectively communicating and coordinating with other City divisions and departments. We understand the one stop shop approach to providing a high level of service to residents and developers alike.

Page | 4 ANNEALTA GROUP
✓ Project Controls. The services we provide are always closely coordinated and monitored to ensure we meet or exceed the service levels desired by the City, but also stay within the financial capacity of your operating budget. We have broad experience and “hands on” knowledge of municipal budgeting, specifically related to expenditures and cost recovery associated with private development processing and permitting.

We will work in close partnership with the City, tailoring our services and deployment of staff to match the allocated budget.

We understand that as needs arise, the City will contact consultant(s) to respond to a detailed request and provide a specific staffing candidate and cost. Based on the City’s request, we will propose the best suited staff that has the skillset aligned with the critical aspects of the specific need. Staff proposed will be experienced at working in a municipal environment, nurturing positive relationships with affected parties, and collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders to deliver the project on time and within budget. Of critical importance will be the assigned staff’s ability to effectively communicate project issues to the City Project Managers and Directors to avoid any surprises on the project.

Our strengths are:
▪ Track record of delivering projects on time and within budget ▪ Small firm commitment to getting the job done right
▪ Transparent and ethical methods for delivery of services ▪ A hands-on principal
▪ Unique experience collaborating with internal departments to assist in problem solving and project delivery
Our staff has dedicated their careers to serving government agencies in a transparent and ethical manner.

Understanding / Approach
Development Engineering Plan Check
We understand the City is looking for consultants who possess a thorough knowledge of civil engineering principles including street design requirements, storm drain design requirements, water & sewer design requirements, traffic engineering and traffic operations principles and design requirements. Our staff is experienced and can make thoughtful, independent
engineering judgments and decisions, and positively interact with private and public sector personnel. We understand our role in serving as an extension of your staff. Specifically, the consultant would assist Public Works, which provides
engineering and review services for construction of all development projects and public improvements throughout the City. The Department is responsible for providing a complete and comprehensive engineering review of all development projects from the conceptual stage to completion. The responsibility entails review and approval of all final tract and parcel maps, grading plans and improvement plans (street, water, sewer, storm drains, erosion control, landscaping & irrigation) for compliance with land use regulations, City Master Plan of Street & Highways, Standard Plans for Public Works Construction Projects and to ensure that all public improvements are bonded prior to construction.

The scope of work may include the following tasks:

1. Review public/private development plans and maps within ten (10) working days per review.

2. Review National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) reports, Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) within ten (10) working days per review.

3. Review telecommunication permits/plans.

4. Review utility permits/plans.

5. Update development-related documentation, interagency coordination checklist, policies and procedures.

6. Other engineering-related tasks, as necessary.

Additionally, it is our understanding that all plans for private developments (which includes residential, commercial and industrial and tract/parcel maps, etc.) are submitted to Public Works for review and approval. Public Works provides conditions of approval that that categorizes the required project conditions:
✓ Prior to Final Map Recordation
✓ Prior to Grading Permit Issuance
✓ Prior to Utility Permit Issuance

✓ Additional plans and reports as required for the proposed development ✓ Conceptual Utilities Plan (existing and proposed) include:
▪ Sewer
▪ Water
▪ Storm drain
Once residential subdivisions, commercial or industrial projects have been approved by the Planning Commission, the Public Works Department accepts the final tract/parcel map, grading plans, improvement plans and the corresponding reports for plan check. A complete submittal may include, but is not limited to the following:
✓ Grading Plan
✓ Street Improvement Plan
✓ Traffic Signal Plan
✓ Signing & Striping Plan
✓ Sewer Improvement Plan
✓ Water Improvement Plan
✓ Storm drain Improvement Plan
✓ Landscape Improvement Plan
✓ Cost Estimate
✓ Soils Report

✓ SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan)
✓ WQMP (Water Quality Management Plan)
✓ Final Parcel or Tract Map (included reference materials) ✓ Approved Tentative Map
✓ Preliminary Title Report (not older than 30 days)
✓ Reference Plans
We will perform plan checks and reviews in accordance with the City Design Policies, American Public Works Association Standards, Caltrans Highway Design Manual, Caltrans Traffic Manual, Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications, Orange County Hydrology Manual and the Americans Disability Act and California Title 24 requirements on accessibility. In addition to reviewing improvement plans using these standards and specifications, our engineers use these plans and specifications when preparing engineering bid documents for capital improvement projects for municipal clients in the local area. Our engineers are not just plan reviewers, they are licensed professionals that make sound engineering decisions and communicate effectively with internal and external clients.

The plan check will be routed to the most appropriate and qualified staff based on expertise and ability to meet the required turn-around time. After a Quality Assurance review by the project manager, the plan review comments will be routed to City staff for final review and transmittal to the applicant. Our online database will then be updated to reflect status of the submittal. All formal project submittals will be routed through the City in order to maintain the accountability and integrity of the plan check process.

Page | 13 ANNEALTA GROUP
Annealta can accommodate the standard plan review turnaround time that is required by the City. Our typical goal is to provide plan review comments on the first submittal within 10 working days, and within 10 working days on all subsequent submittals. Our organization is extremely flexible and has the ability to meet shorter turn-around times if requested by the City and applicant. One of our goals is to make the first plan review comments as thorough as possible and reduce the possibility of new comments coming up later in the plan review process. Additionally, our staff strives to be proactive in plan review and will contact the applicant as needed to review technical questions. This can often help eliminate costly re-submittals.

Plan Check
The scope of work may include the following tasks:
✓ Perform review of civil related improvement plans, grading, sewer, storm drain, and erosion control.
✓ Perform review of parcel maps, tract maps, easements, and lot line adjustments.
✓ Perform review of traffic signal installation or modification plans. ✓ Perform review of studies and reports such as sewer, drainage, geotechnical, and WQMP.
✓ Knowledgeable about commonly used software programs and Orange County Hydrology and Local Drainage Manuals.
✓ Prepare plan check comments in concise and understandable manner. ✓ Perform review of encroachment permit applications, including permit conditions, traffic control, working hours, and fees.
✓ Interact with private and public personnel.
✓ Submit resumes for permit technician/engineers who will provide 25 hours per week of permit reviews and processing.

Peer Review Plan Check
We understand that the selected consultant may also be responsible for peer review, including independent review of PS&E and other documents.

KEY SPECIFIC DUTIES
✓ Communicate with the City to identify critical project issues ✓ Project site examination
✓ Engineering plan check – both horizontal and vertical elements ✓ If required, establishment of QA/QC protocol including the following:
▪ In the design phase of a construction project, the quality assurance program will focus on the procedures that the design engineer has implemented to ensure that the design meets quality standards. It will specify qualifications for designers; sign off approvals for plan preparation, revision and approval protocols; and minimum standards for the materials called for in the plans.
▪ The quality assurance program will review the contractor’s processes for determining which suppliers are qualified to deliver the required quality. Quality control applies the process, makes sure the selected suppliers meet the qualification criteria and carries out any testing that is required. Plant inspection and testing will be required for many materials including asphalt. The contractor will be held responsible for corrective action if the inspector find that material is not as specified or does not meet the required quality standards.
▪ Quality assurance specifies how to determine the applicable construction standards. We will set up a process that allows evaluation of a construction specification or project description to identify standards that will result in the quality the City wants, in addition to satisfying legal and Green Book requirements. The program will include specific tests for basic materials such as asphalt, steel and concrete.

Electronic Plan Check
Various cities have adopted the process of utilizing Electronic Plan Check. Electronic Plan Check programs enables applicants to submit Portable Document Files (PDF), as an alternative to submitting the required application, construction drawings, and supportive documentation (i.e. structural calculations, soils reports, water supply tests, etc.) in the traditional paper form. Moving from hard copy review to electronic plan review reduces the turnaround time as well as enhances communication throughout the process. Many cities are utilizing a variety of software programs to adopt this method as a means to improve customer service, reduce turnaround time and cost for the applicant.

Page | 15 ANNEALTA GROUP
Annealta Group staff is familiar with electronic plan check process and have provided this service to many of our clients. Utilizing electronic plan check we are able to efficiently manage, track, review and communicate plan review comments and approvals in real time with the applicant. This process improves collaboration and promotes project transparency with all stakeholders. We are proficient using various software applications, including ProjectDox, EnerGov, e-PlanSoft, Bluebeam, Revu, Adobe, TrakiT, SmartGov and NewForma. When requested, plan reviews will be conducted using the County’s electronic plan check system.

Quality Control
Our entire team will create and apply tailored and proven management systems that work and will carefully monitor program effectiveness, closely tracking work quality, quantity, and cost for all projects. Delivering projects under aggressive schedules requires careful management, administration, and oversight of project development teams from inception to completion with complete ownership of all aspects. This approach and detailed oversight produce projects that are typically free of errors.

However, should a project encounter a problem, our staff will work closely with the City and its staff to quickly make the necessary corrections. Based on our experience, we will focus our efforts in the following areas:

Project Documentation – The project manager and reviewer will adhere to established standards for project record keeping. For public projects, the Caltrans model provides an excellent framework that we have built upon and utilize on all projects large or small in an effort to deliver the project and protect the City’s interest should an issue arise.

Customer Service – Public works personnel assigned will be well versed and have relevant experience in the communication needed when working in a municipal environment. Projects will likely impact residents and businesses that must first be identified and then treated in a respectful and understanding manner during the life of the project. Our staff will seek to identify potential issues as early on in the review process as possible and adhere to strong and accurate communications for the entire project process.

Communication Plan
A critical and essential element in project management is regular communication with the City to obtain direction on project issues impacting project scopes, budgets, schedules, and community sensitivities. We will immediately bring urgent project issues to the City. We will also establish fluid communication among our team and the City through recurring meetings described below:
• Weekly meetings with the City to review staff report agendas, CIP procedural or program issues. • Weekly project status meetings with the Project Management staff to review project status. • Regular meetings of Project Development Teams on key capital projects.

Page | 16 ANNEALTA GROUP
Schedule Control
Our staff has many years of experience managing projects and delivering them ontime and within budget. Our success is due to our detailed approach throughout the life of a project. From the very start of a project, we establish a clear understanding of the critical components and key benchmarks that need to be achieved to stay on schedule. These are used on a daily/weekly basis to closely work with all departments and outside agencies to ensure the schedule and budget are monitored.

Despite this approach, some projects may fall behind schedule. If this occurs, Annealta will quickly review the reasons for the delay, identify options for getting the project back on track, and implement the selected option after consulting with the City. Scope, schedule and budget impacts of the delay will be scrutinized to ensure critical elements are not jeopardized by implementation of the corrective action. Annealta is committed to ensuring the necessary resources are dedicated to the project so it remains or is brought back on schedule.

UNDERSTANDING/APPROACH

PLAN CHECK APPROACH
Our primary approach is to serve as a direct extension
of the City staff. NV5 will take every measure possible to see that the City’s timeline is met. It is our intention to consistently beat the plan review turnaround times
while assuring continuous quality and reasonable
implementation of the state codes and all local
amendments. We will put forth a coordinated effort and
responsibility to track and coordinate all applications or requests received in the City.

All plan check services will be driven by the accepted
architect-engineering and industry professional practices, and will comply with the applicable regulations. Turnaround times of plan checks are crucial, and we intend to return plan checks within the timelines outlined by the City. We continually train existing employees and recruit new talent to exceed the expectations of our clients.

We understand how essential it is for individual
departments to work together in order to build a
successful project. Our philosophy is to work closely with all departments, divisions and agencies to eliminate
redundancy and increase efficiency. We understand the
difficulties in interpreting design standards, and we take pride in providing solutions for your constituents.

Outlined below is the general process the NV5 team
utilizes to provide plan review services. This is presented as a guideline to be adjusted according to the processing procedures of your jurisdiction. We will work with the
City in a seamless manner for review of plans for code
compliance and keeping projects moving to the finish line.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES: PLAN CHECK PROJECTS
Deliverables for a typical plan check project include:
○ Cost confirmation letter (if required)
○ Signed comment letter with checklist
○ Redlined plans
In compliance with state law, all plan check services will be performed by or under the responsible charge of a
California licensed professional eligible to prepare and sign the type of map, plan, or professional study being reviewed.

All plan review memos will be signed and sealed by a duly licensed professional.

PLAN CHECK SUBMITTALS SEQUENCE
Each submittal will generally follow the following sequence:

First Plan Check
The initial plan check will be comprehensive and identify all significant issues. It is important to present significant issues to the developer as early in the review process as possible, so that the developer can respond in a timely manner. In addition to the typical scope of services, the first plan check will include the following:
○ Plan Review Checklist
○ Review of Conditions of Discretionary Approval
○ Analysis of Easement Requirements and Right-Of-Way
Needs
○ Identification of Required Coordination with Inter-Agency Jurisdictional Issues
Subsequent Submittals
Plan check resubmittals are reviewed for completeness
and to determine if all previous comments have been fully addressed. If the developer has made significant changes to the submittal, new review comments may be necessary.

The NV5 plan checker will identify remaining deficiencies in the documents for subsequent reiterations of the plan check submittals.

Final Review
We anticipate that after no more than three (3) plan checks, NV5 will request that the developer submit final plans and associated documents, as required by the City for final review. NV5 will confirm that plans are complete and that all associated documents have been submitted. NV5 will then provide an approval letter and other required documents and transmittals, depending on the type of review.

Transmittal
NV5 will maintain accurate and comprehensive records
related to all plans, calculations and documents received.

Our team is experienced in providing digital plan review and will accept, review and return plans electronically if the City desires.

City of Seal Beach — On-Call Professional Engineering Plan Check Services NV5 | 8

UNDERSTANDING/APPROACH
We will screen and log every application to assure they are routed to all plan checkers in a timely manner. All submittals are checked for compliance with relevant state and local requirements. The log serves as a tracking device to assure turnarounds and completeness of review.

Corrections
NV5 will assure that corrections are handled as quickly and as clearly as possible. We will identify all corrections based on compliance with specific standards, codes and
regulations. We will either provide notes on the plans as appropriate, or provide a correction sheet detailing which items need to be addressed for plan approval.

Each project will be reviewed with strict adherence to our company policy of independent objectivity as a third party.

Projects have ranged from the simple to the complex
across all types of construction. Our wide exposure and expertise allow us to provide impartial and comprehensive plan reviews clearly indicating the applicable codes and standards and documenting noted deficiencies. Our
reviews are individually prepared for each project and, while we use Agency standard checklists as a basis for
our review, we also review each individual project for sitespecific impacts and technical merits — including boundary conditions and general construction considerations. Our Plan Review Reports are written to provide the design
team with a clear and concise understanding of the issues.

Comments from each discipline are grouped together for
easy reference, and each comment references a specific
item in the plans or specifications as well as a reference.

Approvals
Upon completion of each plan review, plans and supporting documents will be returned to the City recommending
approval. Approval will only be given when all compliance issues are resolved to the best of our team’s knowledge and all requirements of the City are satisfied.

Accelerated Plan Review
In most cases, we will complete the initial plan review in 10 working days and considerably less time for re-checks.

However, some plans may require expedited review. At
your request, we will perform plan review services within an accelerated time frame. Accelerated plan review may
require an additional fee, agreed upon by the applicant and NV5.

Meetings
We will conduct and coordinate all communications with
the City for plan review comments to assure that plan
review issues are handled efficiently. During the plan
review process, we are prepared to meet with City staff and the applicant at any time. Our goal is to issue approved plans as quickly as possible, but in full compliance with local codes, ordinances and guidelines. Our experience
suggests greater involvement early in the design process yields exceptional benefits. We feel it is helpful to be involved in Development Review meetings for projects
subject to the Planning Review process.

MANAGEMENT PLAN + QA/QC
Our managerial approach is based on shared expectations and clear and consistent communication with City staff
throughout the delivery of projects.

Our plan review process highlights the tools and
techniques we will employ to deliver quality, accurate, timely and responsive plan reviews:

Reliable and Responsive Service. Our project manager
will provide proactive communication, utilize proven project management tools and best practices, and will anticipate your needs and quickly respond with accurate and detailed information every step of the way. We are available to meet with the City at kickoff and progress meetings to discuss procedures, projects, and to maintain momentum and
project schedules.

Efficiently Meet Turnaround Deadlines and Maintain
Development Momentum. An emphasis will be placed on
our staff’s experience with the City and requirements to proactively facilitate communication and processing. We will work to assure proven quality assurance and schedule control measures are implemented.

Maintain Accuracy and Cost Savings Through Proven
Processes and Continuity. We can implement integrated,
standardized processes, including electronic plan reviews that will be utilized by seasoned staff members who deliver City of Seal Beach — On-Call Professional Engineering Plan Check Services NV5 | 9

UNDERSTANDING/APPROACH
plan review comments that are consistent, thorough,
accurate, and done right the first time.

INTEGRATED PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
The step-by-step review process that we follow for every plan check/review assures that review standards are
consistently implemented on each project.

We will implement a comprehensive program based on
best practices to validate that each and every review is thorough, accurate, consistent and timely. This system’s success is based on thousands of hours of practical, realworld experience by our dedicated personnel and their unique ability to interact quickly and efficiently with your staff. The specific action items in our process include:

Coordination and Communication: Our staff will handle
the necessary administrative functions, such as project tracking, managing project controls, maintaining and
distributing communications, reviewing agendas and
ordinance issues, and fielding calls on project status.

Analyzing Submittals: Our team will review and assess
initial submittals for completeness, review title sheets and non-technical issues; maintain files; monitor due dates; monitor contract budget and status tracking reports; and coordinate invoicing. Consistency will be maintained by assigning the project to the same reviewer that performed the previous reviews, unless circumstances dictate
otherwise.

Facilitating Quality Reviews: Our experienced public
works plan reviewers will routinely review agency
standards, ordinances, guidelines, and update checklists; write comment letters; coordinate project returns;
attend review meetings; and communicate comments
to the applicant and designers. Because of our depth of resources and project tools (checklists, comment letters), reassigned projects can be reviewed without missing
deadlines or causing unnecessary rechecks.

Providing Expertise: Our experts will provide a quality, comprehensive review of plans, studies, maps and reports in accordance with all accepted engineering practices,
the Subdivision Map Act, applicable regulations and City development standards. Our experts are also available
to meet with your staff to clarify comments and discuss solutions, as well as provide full and complete reviews for each project that will minimize the number of resubmittals by the customer.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control: We are committed to
a Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Constructability Review protocol for all deliverables submitted to a client.

Our QC policy requires our project engineer and project manager to sign off on the cover sheet and commit that
they have reviewed the submittal and are accepting
responsibility for the quality of the documents prior to being submitted for review by peers.

WT2207
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7315:

1. Approving Utility Agreement No. UK104291 between the City of Seal Beach and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for the relocation of City waterlines across the Montecito Storm Drain Channel in connection with the I-405 Freeway Improvement Project in the not-to-exceed amount of $219,515;

2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the agreement;

3. Approving Budget Amendment BA #23-01-02 in the amount of $250,000; and,

4. Appropriating $250,000 to project WT2207.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The I-405 Improvement Project is an ongoing Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) effort to provide one additional general-purpose lane and two toll lanes in each direction between the Orange County limits within the City of Seal Beach and the City of Costa Mesa.

As part of the I-405 Improvement Project, conflicting utility facilities will need to either be relocated or rebuilt to accommodate the new freeway alignment. As the Montecito Storm Drain Channel will be widened, the City’s two (2) existing 8-inch water lines that cross under the channel that serves the College Park West neighborhood will need to be relocated.
