Subject: Recommendation for CValdo Corporation in the Performance of Professional Stormwater Management Technical Services
To Whom It May Concern:
I have served as the Executive Director for the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) since shortly after its inception in 2002 and have worked with several CValdo Corporation employees over the years
Mr. Cory Jones has a great reputation in the state of California regarding the technical aspects of stormwater pollutant control technologies and other source control Best Management Practices (BMPs). He was the only person initially selected to be nominated to lead CASQA’s BMP Committee in 2017 after the departure of the former committee chair who had previously lead the group for seven years. Mr. Jones has successfully taken over the lead as Project Manager for the updates to several of our frequently-referenced California Best Management Practices Handbooks. We offer four of these handbooks to the public on a subscription basis and Mr. Jones continues to work to help our organization make refinements to all elements of these documents that we provide to our users (the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permittees in the state of California). The Handbooks provide the most up-to- date materials available for assistance with permit compliance in the state of California.
Mr. Mark Wills previously served as a Board Member and Treasurer for CASQA between 2008 and 2010. Prior to CASQA’s incorporation as a 501(c)3 corporation in September 2002, Mr.
Wills was also a member of the organization’s Executive Committee from May 1996 through April 2001. Mr. Wills represented the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District as its NPDES program lead and Chief of Regulatory Programs.
I have always found Mr. Jones and Mr. Wills to both be highly attentive and responsive to the needs of our organization. Additionally, I am aware that CValdo provides technical professional stormwater services to both public and private clients and with the superior backgrounds of their employees that I personally know, I am sure that their clients receive the best service possible.
As the roles that both Mr. Jones and Mr. Wills have provided to our organization are volunteer roles, they have shown a valuable dedication to the practice of stormwater management through their service. This is the type of commitment required to provide our end-users, California stormwater permittees, with the best assistance for regulatory compliance.
From my close working relationship with these two CValdo Corporation employees, I personally recommend CValdo Corporation for providing municipal stormwater program technical services.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 650.365.8620 with any follow up questions.
Sincerely,
Geoff Brosseau

is proposing to provide plan review services for civil
improvement plans, including, but not limited to:
• Entitlement Review, including Code Requirements
and Conditions of Approval for city staff, Planning
Commission and/or City Council approval.
• Tentative parcel and subdivision maps

• Hydrology and Hydraulic Calculations and Reports
• Erosion and Sediment Control Plans
• Geotechnical report review
• Engineer’s Cost Estimate for the related items of work for bonding purposes
NV5 can provide all of the services outlined in the City’s RFP. Included below is a brief standard approach to
providing these services, which can be tailored to fit the City’s needs.
Work Plan/Approach
The step-by-step review process that we follow for every plan check assures that review standards are consistently implemented on each and every project. We will implement a comprehensive program based on your City’s standards
to validate that each review is thorough, accurate,
consistent and timely. This system’s success is based on thousands of hours of practical, real-world experience by our dedicated personnel and their unique ability to interact quickly and efficiently with your staff.
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.
Deliverables
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 City of Vista | As-Needed Civil Engineering Plan Check Services NV5 | 5 08/26/2025
C3
2. PROPOSED TEAM
reviewed. All plan review memos will be signed and sealed by a duly licensed professional.
SUBMITTAL 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.
We will screen and log every application to assure they are routed to all plan checkers in a timely manner. All submittals are checked for compliance with relevant
state and local requirements. The log serves as a tracking device to assure turnarounds and completeness of review.
Corrections
NV5 will assure that corrections are handled as quickly and as clearly as possible. We will identify all corrections based on compliance with specific standards, codes and
regulations. We will either provide notes on the plans as appropriate, or provide a correction sheet detailing which items need to be addressed for plan approval.
Each project will be reviewed with strict adherence to our company policy of independent objectivity as a third party.
Projects have ranged from the simple to the complex
across all types of construction. Our wide exposure and expertise allow us to provide impartial and comprehensive plan reviews clearly indicating the applicable codes and standards and documenting noted deficiencies. Our
reviews are individually prepared for each project and, while we use Agency standard checklists as a basis for
our review, we also review each individual project for site- specific impacts and technical merits — including boundary conditions and general construction considerations. Our Plan Review Reports are written to provide the design
team with a clear and concise understanding of the issues.
Comments from each discipline are grouped together for
easy reference, and each comment references a specific
item in the plans or specifications as well as a reference.
Approvals
Upon completion of each plan review, plans and supporting documents will be returned to the City recommending
approval. Approval will only be given when all compliance issues are resolved to the best of our team’s knowledge and all requirements of the City are satisfied.
Accelerated Plan Review
In most cases, we will complete the initial plan review in 10 working days and considerably less time for 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 City of Vista | As-Needed Civil Engineering Plan Check Services NV5 | 6 08/26/2025

2. PROPOSED TEAM
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. We will implement
a comprehensive program based on best practices to
validate that each and every review is thorough, accurate, consistent and timely. 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.
• 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 plan review
comments that are consistent, thorough, accurate,
and done right the first time.
• 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.
