BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) regularly uses contractual services on an as -needed basis to assist staff with building plan review, inspection, and permit -related professional services of new buildings during periods of high construction activity. Contractual support for building plan review and building inspection helps supplement staff s effort to reduce plan check turnaround time and manage the inspection workload as demand fluctuates. Contractual services help maintain appropriate staffing and customer service levels. The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from companies who provide building plan review, building inspection, and permit -related professional services. The proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company's ability to meet the specific needs of the City in three areas: building plan review, building inspection, and permit -related Page 1 Packet Pg. 192 services. The submissions were graded based on seven categories: staff qualifications, overall competency, communication, on-site services, turnaround time, proposal and references. An invitation to bid was published on October 19, 2017. Forty-eight companies downloaded the RFP, and twelve proposals were received by City staff. Two companies were found non- responsive (4 Leaf and Builder's Protection Group) for incomplete submissions. The results are shown below: Rank Company Score Location 1. Interwest Consulting Group 70 Huntington Beach, CA 2. JAS Pacific 69 Upland, CA 3. Bureau Veritas/California Code Check 68 Westlake Village, CA 4. Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc. 67 Irvine, CA 5.

RADCO/Twining 55 Long Beach, CA Based on the results of the evaluation process, staff recommends Interwest Consulting Group, Bureau Veritas/California Code Check, JAS Pacific, and Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc. be awarded contracts to provide building plan review, building inspection, and permit -related professional services to the City on an as -needed basis. Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc., was selected based on cost ranking, as specified in the RFP. By utilizing the four firms selected, staff will have the flexibility to assign projects to contract building plan reviewers and/or inspectors who are best suited to meet the City's needs, while retaining appropriate staffing and customer service levels. Approval of the contracts will give staff the ability to spend up to $1,200,000 each fiscal year for such services with the ability to renew the contract two additional times, in accordance with the terms of the contract, for an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 during each fiscal year. This annual contract amount reflects Consumer Price Index increases and wage increases. Revenue generated from the fees collected for plan review, expedited plan review, and building permits will help offset these costs. The City Council's approval of the recommended actions will help the City maintain desired customer service levels. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Upon adoption of the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget, adequate funds will be available in expenditure account 14100.5161.001 to provide for the recommended actions.

Our strong presence in the region offers the strength, stability, experience, and technical competence that are desired of a contractor of plan review and inspection services. We understand local governmental agencies which has enabled us to develop methodologies and business practices allowing for the delivery of said services seamlessly and efficiently. Our approach to providing qualified staff is detailed in "Staff Augmentation Flow Chart." Plan Review Services JAS Pacific can provide the City with plan review services both off-site and on. All services shall be provided by qualified, experienced staff in one or multiple disciplines including residential, commercial/structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical plan review. Off-site services will be provided in a timely manner and will be seamless, as our team members are accessible to promptly respond to all inquiries. Upon contract award, JAS Pacific will analyze the City's needs and propose the appropriate service level striking a balance between desired services and cost efficiency. The appropriate registered engineer will review of each set of plans and their review will not only identify building code issues within the plans, but will also address the "big picture" and offer helpful suggestions to reach life -safety and code compliance standards. Off -Site Services JAS Pacific proposes to provide the City with plan review services through our in-house plan review team located at our headquarters and other satellite offices. Off-site services will be conducted via courier, on a daily -basis if needed. This approach is detailed in the "Plan Review Flow Chart" below. On -Site Services In an effort to meet the specific needs of the City, JAS Pacific is also capable of providing on-site plan review services given sufficient advanced notice. We believe this is the most comprehensive and efficient approach to providing building plan review services to the public and City. JAS Pacific has qualified and experienced staff that can provide technical assistance to architects and engineers, over-the-counter review of minor plan reviews, meet with necessary applicants to answer questions, discuss and explain plan review corrections and meet any demands requested by the applicants or as directed by the Jurisdiction.

This approach is detailed in the "Plan Review Flow Chart" below. Electronic Plan Review JAS Pacific can provide the City with an Internet -based system in support of plan review services for the purposes of electronic plan submission (E -Submittal). This document workflow solution will allow applicants and City personnel to initiate and complete the plan review process online (including the submission of electronic comments), rather than using a manual, paper-based process which requires printing and shipping. Said services will improve the plan review cycle, reduce costs (i.e. paper use, printing and storage costs, drive time, and gasoline consumption), and support JAS Pacific's Business Friendly Policy of providing services in a streamlined and seamless fashion and as efficiently as possible. JAS Pacific staff has worked with various programs including, but not limited to, Project Dox, Blue Beam, E -Plan Soft.

All inspectors shall be fully qualified and certified to perform inspections for the discipline in which they are assigned including residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use project inspections for compliance to approved plans and related documents.

Our proposal is being submitted to provide all of these services as outlined in the RFP. Having served public agencies for over 15 years, including over 3 years at the City of Santa Clarita, Interwest understands the problem areas that the City of Santa Clarita is facing. During periods of high construction activity, it can be difficult to maintain adequate levels of qualified staff to ensure that projects are completed on time and in compliance with all relevant codes and regulations. We also know that superior customer service is of primary importance to the city and that adherence to agreed upon timeframes and budgets is a major concern. Interwest has consistently been able to provide the city with timely off-site plan review services and in-house plan review and inspection staff augmentation for the past three years, something that other Building & Safety consultants had been unable to provide to the city of Santa Clarita. In addition, Interwest was able to provide an in-house Assistant Building Official and Permit Specialist on a full-time basis for the past year giving the city of Santa Clarita additional seasoned senior staff to help assist with an increased workload, as well as to help mentor city employees. Interwest staff is comprised of licensed professionals who are extremely comfortable with all applicable State and local codes, ordinances and regulations governing new construction. We understand the importance of delivering all work products on time, within budget, and in alignment with the expectations of the City, your clients and the development community. Our proposed team's expertise spans decades and disciplines to ensure that all standards will be satisfied. Their direct experience in municipalities has prepared them for effective interface with the public, assuring a responsive and productive level of customer service at all times. Furthermore, Interwest is committed to adjusting service levels to maintain adequate staffing on a case by case basis, whether the City's needs range from one man to a whole team. As work levels fluctuate, our staff will stand ready to provide both on-site and off-site services as required at the City's discretion. A record of our demonstrated success is substantiated in the references section of this proposal and can be verified by our clients. We are excited for the opportunity to continue to build our relationship with the City of Santa Clarita and provide the services outlined in the RFP. We view our role and mission is to provide the following: A team of professionals with high-level experience and skills in successful management of building department services, staff with a customer service focus and thorough knowledge of building department policies and procedures, and promoting cooperation and partnership with other City departments and outside agencies.

IAS AC402 Accreditation In October 2010, Bureau Veritas proudly became the first, and still only, company to achieve accreditation under the International Accreditation Service (IAS) Third -Party Permitting, Plan Review and Inspection Service Providers Accreditation Program (AC 402).

The goal of this program is to provide accreditation to independent providers of building department services based on quality management principles and best practices, to ensure that the outstanding safety record of buildings in the U -S_, as compared to buildings elsewhere in the world, is maintained. Building departments can use the IAS program to verify that the companies they hire are qualified to provide building safety services for the jurisdiction. For Bureau Veritas, accreditation is a way to provide independent verification of its established quality procedures and best practices that have been an integral part of the company since its founding in 1828. For Bureau Veritas to achieve IAS accreditation, evaluators assessed several distinct categories including code administration, construction codes, plan review processes, professional credentials and licensing, and inspection procedures.

Our professional members are dedicated to meeting a high standard of public service, crucial to effective delivery of building regulatory services. Consistency, responsiveness, efficiency, and a positive attitude are key components of our approach. Our teams have supported City, County, State, and Federal government agencies by providing experts in the fields of plan review, engineering, inspections, and permitting services. Our clientele spans over 1,500 agencies in the United States. As a result of our long history working with public agencies, we understand that transparency, ethics, and financial responsibility are key to a successful relationship with not only the agency but also the communities in which they serve. BVNA has a clear understanding of contracting and processes, identification of possible major issues, and proposed solutions. We will identify issues, propose a solution, and provide a work plan. POSSIBLE MAJOR ISSUES A possible issue can occur at any moment and BVNA is prepared to identify the problem and address the issue accordingly. A project can have many factors that may result in a major issue, questions that need rapid response, corrections that need immediate attention to meet the required codes and construction site issues. Possible Major Issues: Costly Redesigns: During the course of a plan review, our team may identify significant issues with the design of a project_ This scenario presents substantial impacts to project schedules and budgets. Proposes[ Solution: BVNA can perform a preliminary, or cursory, review during schematic design to identify any issues that could grow into a larger, costlier issue if not addressed early. This solution has saved clients money and time by identifying the issue early and opening the opportunity to address the problem before the design drawings progress into the construction document phase. In the event issues are identified during the traditional review of construction documents, our team will immediately notify the designers and the stakeholders involved. To mitigate time delays due to redesigns in the CD phase, our team can review drawings as they are revised. This method allows the designers to continuously work on all facets of the project instead of rushing to complete a full submittal set. Possible Major Issues: Projects are sometimes placed on hold: We understand that due to the nature of size and scope of projects, many issues may arise that involve budgeting, delay a project, or even cancel a potential project. This presents an issue should a delayed project be reinstated at a later date in the future. Proposed Solution: Should a project be placed on hold or delayed, our team will cease work until notified by the City of Santa Clarita that the project will restart. BVNA will keep records of these projects until transmitted back to the City. In the event a project resumes, BVNA's team will meet with the designers and project stakeholders to determine what changes, if any, were made, review the new plans in a manner that provides expeditious comments without negatively impacting the quality of plan review. Our team will also work with the City and the designers to ensure duplicate reviews are not conducted, and assign, when CALIFORNIA n WORKING TOGETHER 2 FOR A SAFER WORLD ` ff� .

These meetings can be held at a requested City site, or any of our BVNA offices. All questions that need a fast response will have access to our engineers via email, phone and video conferencing and can meet face to face at the City office to ensure the project has no interruptions. Prompt turnaround of quality plan reviews is the hallmark of our service. Ideally, the review process involves no more than two plan submittals, perhaps three under extraordinary circumstances_ To achieve this, it is important for the plan reviewer to see the "big picture" during the approval process, and to expedite the review, while assuring adherence to all City standards and requirements. At the completion of each review, comments noting any deficiencies are prepared for the applicant. Review comments may be distributed by the City staff, or directly to the applicant by BVNA, depending on the City's preference. Copies of review letters are always forwarded to the City for its records and files. Our customary practice is to provide comments in narrative form in a memorandum. We find this method to be more precise than just marking the submittal alone. Additionally, this method facilitates the transmission and preservation of comments in electronic format. TEAM RESOURCES Strategies to attract and retain highly qualified employees in the appropriate number to maintain the required level of service Hiring and retaining exceptional talent is critical to BVNA's success and growth. That's why it is a customary practice for our Human Resources department to treat hiring as a year-round business process. In addition to using outside recruiting consultants, the Bureau Veritas team also employs full-time recruiters to constantly identify technical and managerial talent that possess the credentials, background, and cultural fit for our clients. BVNA has an established planning, recruiting, and selection process for hiring new talent. BVNA offers competitive salaries and benefits including professional development and personal growth initiatives that serve to attract and retain the best and the brightest in the industry. Staff members remain at the top of their field BVNA continuously invests in its employees and views staff training very seriously. Helping them to grow to their highest potential and advancing their professional skills has always been a priority. Within our budget we dedicate a substantial amount towards professional growth and development as recognized by the International Accreditation Service. BVNA documents an employee's education and professional development during the annual Performance Management Process (PMP). Performance Management is the process through which supervisors and those they lead gain a shared understanding of work expectations and goals, exchange performance feedback, identify learning and development opportunities, and evaluate performance results_ It is through this process that BVNA is able to create and sustain a workplace environment that promotes learning and professional development_ cl�LJF n!A WORKING TOGETHER �}� 9D.,`_ FOR A SAFER WORLD e° -�\_ ,,CONTRACTUAL SERVICES FOR PLAN REVIEW, City of Santa Clarita Q�.�ILDING 1NS1~ECTlON, AND/OR PERIM.

We understand that building safety results from providing trained professionals with the resources and ongoing support necessary to stay current with the latest advancements in the building safety field. ICC certification ensures competent building and fire safety individuals are involved in the critical building approval process. It also helps to continue attracting an increasing level of competence and professionalism into the building code community. The ICC certification represents BVNA's commitment to providing professional and competent plan review and inspection staff to our municipal clients. Our staff has participated in the development of the codes on the local and national level. They have chaired and served on ICC committees such as the Code Interpretations Committee, International Building Code Means of Egress Committee, International Building Code Steering Committee, and Sub -Committee for Accreditation Standards. They have also served on the plumbing and mechanical advisory board, and actively participated in the panel for the development of the electrical inspector certification exam_ BVNA will provide our team with the equipment and code books necessary to perform plan review and inspection services. MEETING TURNAROUND TIMES At the City's request, BVNA can provide plan review activities on a fast-track basis. Turnaround times for each submittal will relate to the size and nature of the project and its impact on the construction schedule. To reduce turnaround times for plan review, we can use electronic submittals, phased submittals, conference calling, and videoconferencing. BVNA has built long-term partnerships with agencies. We understand that accuracy, efficiency, and integrity in all aspects of professional services are required. Testimony to our professional excellence is the fact that we have provided services to many of our municipal clients since their incorporation. Because of our large pool of accessible resources we are able to assemble experienced personnel in order to help with project schedule recovery when necessary. Our team will maintain efficient turnaround times on all reviews as a key measurement of our performance for our plan review services. BVNA will also accommodate preliminary reviews to facilitate fast tracked or accelerated projects. This will aid with timely turnaround and create good public relations_ If applicants include designs that do not conform to the prescriptive requirements of the codes, the City's designee will have final approval over the plan being reviewed. Our staff will make recommendations for the resolution if requested. We are also available to meet with agency staff or others as needed to discuss our findings. Our typical turnaround times are listed in Section 8, Schedule. ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW BVNA provides an alternative solution to traditional plan checking. By utilizing Adobe Acrobat, our plan reviewers can quickly and accurately review plans for compliance with applicable codes. Plans are submitted as PDF files via a secure and confidential FTP site. These plans are then reviewed by our staff who are able to place comments and redlines directly on the plans, corresponding to areas needing revisions. Redlined plans with comments are then forwarded to, or placed on the secure FTP site for the designers, « F WORKING TOGETHER CALIFORNIA FOR A SAFER WORLD} C`W1.. e c 9..

If all items were resolved, hard copy plans are sent to BVNA for approval stamps and signatures. These stamped and signed approved drawings are sent to the jurisdiction for permitting. Electronic plan submittal and commenting allows for economical movement of plans and quick turnaround, eliminating shipping time and costs. Using Adobe Acrobat software, electronic plans with comments can be viewed and discussed with tenant, designer, and plans examiner as needed to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. We have successfully used a digital solution to plan reviewing for over 60 federal, state, and local agencies. Specifically, this program was used to provide expedite review of the tenant improvements for the Westfield Galleria at Roseville, who needed nearly 250,000 square feet of damaged space to be renovated with limited time. SIGNIFICANT CODE ISSUES If the occasion occurs where there is a significant code issue, BVNA understands the City will have the final authority when making code decisions or interpretations. Our Project Manager will notify the City's Building Official and work with the designer directly to resolve any such code issue efficiently and quickly to continue moving the project along.

Although public agencies are dedicated to providing a high level of customer service while ensuring the integrity of design and construction, their staff becomes overloaded and unable to keep the development moving forward efficiently. Third party plan review and inspection enables BVNA to supplement the local authority having jurisdiction on a project -by -project basis, at the applicant's expense. This is an optional method to accomplish the plan review for applicants that desire preliminary plan reviews or have expediting needs due to project time constraints. This method allows the designer to work with plan review staff early in the design process to avoid code problems that could lead to extensive redesign of completed plans. It also allows the permit applicant to pay for review services directly to BVNA, independent of the normal City plan review fee. With approval of the building official, our team can provide third -party plan reviews/inspections by allowing an applicant to provide payment directly to BVNA for our plan review fee or inspection costs. This program is utilized by many public agencies, developers, contractors, and project management firms to help promote economic development, keep projects on track, expedite projects, etc. BVNA teams with cities, counties, developers, contractors, project managers, design -build teams, and other members of the development community to provide a high level of customer service, experience, and technical expertise.

BVNA has extensive public sector experience, which assures that the public's interests are fully protected. We believe that technical competence, while expected, is not enough. Experience and careful, thorough consideration of issues and impacts is needed in addition to the purely technical considerations. We have devoted a great deal of time and effort over the years to refining our approach and developing documentation to assist our clients and train our staff in understanding plan review procedures. BVNA will work to ensure that submittals are properly coordinated and tracked by following an established internal plan check coordination process in which each plan received for review is entered into our Deltek database, processed and returned on time to the client. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal. To accomplish this we: • Screen and log each application to assure that they are routed to all plan reviewers in a timely manner. • Submittals are reviewed for compliance with all relevant state and City requirements. The log serves as a tracking device to assure turnaround times and completeness of the review. • Plan reviews will be done in accordance with local, state and federal regulations with which local jurisdictions are mandated to enforce as well as all codes and ordinances in effect by adoption at the time of plan review. Preliminary consultations will be provided to the applicant upon request, to assist and guide them in the design and plans preparation process. • Information shown on each permit application is verified_ Construction valuation is based on information provided by the City and compared to estimates provided by the applicant. • Provide a thorough architectural and structural review of design drawings and details for compliance with the California Building Code architectural provisions, including provisions for safety glazing, building security and noise insulation performance standards, to name a few. Plan review management. • BVNA assures that corrections are handled as quickly and as clearly as possible. Our goal is to help the applicant through the plan review process. All corrections are identified based on compliance with specified codes and regulations. Generally, corrections are identified in two ways. Notes are made on plans during electronic review or on hard copy plans if appropriate and a correction sheet is generated detailing what items need to be addressed before plans can be approved. The City shall approve the development of any customized correction sheets. Correction sheets for specific projects shall be forwarded to the City along with a cover memo containing at least the following: • The date(s) plans were received and reviewed by our firm • The date(s) the applicant was notified of completed plan reviews • The name and telephone number of the applicant During the plan review process, BVNA is prepared to meet with the applicant.or arch itectlengineer, City employees or consultants at any time. Telephone discussions or meetings at project sites are welcomed to assure that any plan review issues are handled efficiently.

Our goal is to issue approved plans as quickly as possible but in full compliance with laws, codes, ordinances and regulations. Upon completion of the plan review, the following information package is prepared and logged as a minimum: • Completed plan review documents which include sign -offs • Transmittal letter documenting any conditions associated with issuance of a permit, if any ® Marked up plan review documents Two sets of approved building plans Backup documents and reports All documents shall be provided in a format desired by the City. Transmittal of Plans and Correction Lists BVNA assumes responsibility for the pickup and return of plans. All plans shall be picked up from the City offices within 24 hours of notification. Should the volume of work be sufficient, we propose to establish regular pick up of plans on a consistent basis. We will also utilize shipping courier, at no additional cost to the City. Upon completion of each plan review, we will forward a copy of the correction list to both the City and the applicant, by mail. When corrected plans are resubmitted, the previous procedure will be followed or the applicant may schedule an office visit to go over any corrections in person. When plans are completed they are stamped, signed and forwarded by BVNA staff. Our transmittal forms are customized for use unique to the City. Inspections Quality Control and Consistency Program Our inspection teams uphold our Code of Ethics, Customer Service Policies, and will maintain our Stan- dards for Consistency_ Code of Ethics as defined by the Council of American Building Officials: The protection of life, health and property is a solemn responsibility of the highest order. Recognizing the public's trust bestowed upon individuals engaged in the administration and enforcement of building regulatory codes, the Council of American Building Officials advocates commitment to a standard of professional behav- ior that exemplifies the highest ideals and principles of ethical conduct. The governing concepts embodied in this philosophy are characterized herein below, for the benefit of guidance of those so engaged, and for the enlightenment of the public so served. BVNA Building Inspectors shall: Place the public's welfare above all other interests and recognize that the chief function of govern- ment is to serve the best interests of all the people. ® Demonstrate integrity, honesty and fairness in all transactions and constantly strive for excellence in all matters of ethical conduct. • Recognize the continuing need for developing improved safety standards for the protection of life, health and property, and acknowledge a professional obligation to contribute time and expertise in the development of such improvement. • Maintain professional competence in all areas of employment responsibility and encourage the same in associates at all levels. Accept no personal favors for public services rendered and conscientiously avoid all circumstances that could comprise professional integrity. CALIFORNIA WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER WORLD H,t'It,..

BVNA is subject to regular controls and audits by authorities and accreditation bodies to ensure that its procedures, the qualification of its personnel and its management systems comply with the applicable standards, norms, references or regulations. To maintain the accreditations and certifications, quality assurance methods are built into every function of our service. Quality assurance is achieved through a number of systems and tools. • Service goals for timeliness, quality and professionalism are defined and tracked • Training and education is required • Random audits are performed • Documented procedures are accessible, monitored, and updated • Utilization of North America Management System (NAMS) and Corrective Action Response System (CARSys) EXHIBIT 1 One of the tools BVNA uses is NAMS. NAMS is a means to obtain BVNA's objectives of quality excellence as prescribed by the BVNA business model. In order to achieve our goals, BVNA has implemented processes and procedures intended for application at all levels of the organization. The management system has been implemented and maintained with the aim of satisfying our customer's needs and expectations. In order for NAMS to be effective, the policies and procedures are implemented, continuously monitored and updated. Exhibit 1 provides a diagram showing how BVNA maintains the effectiveness of the management system. The customer feedback is provided through a variety of avenues, examples include the use of a satisfaction survey or face-to-face/on-site communication. Once the customer feedback has been received, the management team then analyzes, measures, and implements the improvements required for quality excellence. The cycle continues until the customer's needs and expectations have been satisfied. BVNA also utilizes the CARSys Issues Tracking program (Exhibit 2). CARSys is an improvement tool, which provides a closed-loop process for the management of customer and internal concerns and corrective/preventative actions that result from the EXHIBIT" 2 .

From a building and safety standpoint this means that we consistently incorporate proven best practices and protocols as part of our quality management system (QMS) to meet and exceed ever-increasing customer requirements. These tools include implementation of an established QA/QC program using our CARE program for the intake, track, and review of plans to enhance quality and streamline processing/approval; electronic plan check to expedite turnaround times which save time and money-, and the utilization of an award-winning, web - based document control system, which fosters collaboration, 24/7 access to documents and reports, and enhances overall communication among the stakeholders. Should quality control reviews be required beyond very seasoned, certified inspection staff, we can leverage a deep bench of construction, constructability, and code compliance experts. Also, our Principal - in -Charge, Isam Hasenin, P.E., C.B.O., literally "wrote the book" on building code issues. A former building official for various agencies, such as the City/County of San Francisco and City of San Diego, Isam brings 25+ years of building department operations management. He has also played a key role on a State and national level in developing and implementing building codes. Quality Control To ensure that the work assignment is being performed at the highest professional level, BVNA relies on the management and technical excellence of its personnel and a proven QA/QC program. This assures the quality of all the work performed under this contract meets client approval. BVNA has developed and implements corporate QA policies, consistent with all applicable federal and state regulatory requirements and standards, covering all aspects of project performance, technical quality, and peer review. These policies are implemented at each professional and technical level to provide a well-balanced, independent QA program, which assures the quality of reports, technical reviews, annuals and other documentation prepared by BVNA. This ensures that the product is consistent with the established standards from the standpoint of quality, validity, and legal defensibility. Quality Assurance Program At BVNA, we all share the responsibility for continual improvement of our quality management process and believe that our program, supported by our BVNA business model and our code of ethics, will ensure the continual delivery of high quality products and services to the City of Santa Clarita. Doing so, we will establish BVNA as the City of Santa Clarita preferred supplier in conformity assessment and certification services in the fields of quality assurance, health and safety, environment, and social responsibility (QHSE). Our quality management system provides the framework for continual improvement of our internal management processes and resources which will in turn add value for the City through the services offered and delivered. In addition, our quality management system gives the company and the City of Santa Clarita the confidence that the provision of services and products will be delivered consistently to predetermined high standards worldwide. Plans, Instructions, and Procedures All quality -related activities are documented by BVNA in controlled and detailed plans, instructions, m WORKING TOGETHER CALIFORNIA CO -g' FOR A SAFER WORLD— amn - ,CN I RACTLIAL SFRV1 CES- FOR PLAN REVS EW, City of Santa Clarita BU11-DING INSPECTION.

This includes specific work instructions, such as sampling and test planes, personnel qualifications, required equipment and materials, data recording format, data processing requirements, and documentation and reporting requirements. Recognized standards published by the EPA and the ASTM are employed_ Budget Controls Budget control is achieved by closely monitoring work assignment labor and direct expenses. Work reports must be completed by each individual and the labor hours must be approved by the project manager before being charged to the project. Similarly, expense reports, and other direct expenses must be approved by the project manager prior to entering the cost data system_ Once the information is placed in the system, the following budget control reports will be produced by our accounting group and will be available for review by the project manager. • The Labor Report - Identifies task -specific personnel, budgeted labor hours, current week's hours, cumulative hours expended, and remaining hours under each task. - Project Detail Report - Provides records of all direct expenses and labor cost. It also indicates the overall work assignment status, including hours and expenses budgeted, current and cumulative charges, and remaining balance. The BVNA project manager will inform the designated client representative on the status of the budget, percent of budget used, and work accomplished. Schedule Controls Work assignment schedules will be managed on several levels. The project manager will maintain regular contact with the City of Santa Clarita manager to communicate the project status and progress on deliverables_ In addition, an internal schedule including critical milestones and deliverable due dates will be established prior to initiating the task work. This allows ample time for editorial and technical review, changes, and assurance in schedule compliance. Special Issues/Problems When deficiencies or out -of -control situations exist, the QC Program provides systematic procedures, called corrective actions, to resolve problems and restore proper functioning to the sampling and for analytical system or field operations. Periodically, a QC System audit is performed to review the procedures implemented in the field for consistency with the established protocols. When issues arise, the BVNA project manager will immediately notify the City's manager so that they may be resolved at once_ Existing Programs, Databases, and Tools BVNA capabilities also include the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) services to manage and present data and information and the use of Trimble GPS (Global Positioning Systems) tools to efficiently collect data and integrate information into GIS. The use of GIS allows construction of data queries that can assist in decision-making, data management, and spatial data analysis. BVNA understands the City of Santa Clarita uses Project Dox, a software program for electronic plan review. Our team is familiar with the software and will utilize it per the City's request.

John Wayne Airport Terminals A and B On behalf of Orange County Public Works, BVNA reviewed plans for the seismic strengthening of Terminals A and B of John Wayne airport for OCPW The terminals were constructed with steel moment frame system in the 1970s. Each terminal is around 160,000 sf. After strengthening, both terminals will meet ASCE-41 criteria as essential facilities. In 2013, a seismic analysis was conducted to investigate the ability of JWA to maintain Essential Facility performance in Terminals A and B. The terminals were originally constructed with steel framing with flat and high bay arched metal roof systems that included brittle wide flanged -beam connections which lacked the ductility to withstand major earthquakes. The seismic strengthening and retrofit included improvements to architecture, electrical infrastructure, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, mechanical systems, lighting systems, ADA compliance, IT systems, security and closed circuit television (CCTV) systems, general aesthetics improvements, and fire sprinkler and alarm systems. n C;4L F 111A WORKING TOGETHER '35 FOR A SAFER WORLD , City of Santa Clarita CONTRA;TUAL SE ViCE5 FOR PLAN REVIEW, BUILDM iNSFECTiON, AND/OR PERMIT RELATED Part l.- :e 0of-; 1'2, Contractor Capability PROFESSIONAL SER EGES FQR THIS CFTt OF SANTA and References CL.ARITA'S BUILDIN,3 AND SAFETY 01VIS101\1 Additionally, below is a fist of select California-based clients in which BVNA and/or CCG is providing similar services, most of which are current clients.

OF SANTA CLARE TA'S BtALDINO AND SAFETY DIVISION SECTION 15: ADDITIONAL DATA THE ART OF BUILDING INSPECTION As Building Inspectors, we spend so much time on the technical aspects of our job. Yet, we still see problems and inconsistencies in our work. I realized that it was not so much due to a lack of knowledge or ability, but the lack of organization, technique and utilization of proper methods of inspection. I see Building Inspectors go through an inspection without a clipboard, without files or information, without even a notepad. They give verbal direction and casual "partial" inspections. This leaves the applicant never knowing if there are more Comment coming or where they are in the inspection process_ I see Inspectors write correction notices without dates, or even titles of the kind of inspection performed_ They write correction notices with abbreviations, acronyms and construction terminology. This is not only confusing to the person trying to understand your written communication, but it is non-professional and inefficient. Each inspection is unique and each inspection must be complete with a beginning and an end. Our job is verification and documentation, a good thorough inspection is useless without proper documentation. Each inspection, no matter how small or large, involves a series of specific methodical functions. If we follow these steps, we will never be caught off guard or allow a job to get out of hand. Just like a pilot goes through a series of checklists prior to starting the plane, taxiing, taking off, cruising and prior to landing, we have checklists that we should be following. In this short training series that I call "The Art of Building Inspection," we will go through every step of an inspection form, from beginning to end. Our job is too important to become complacent and casual about what we do. It does not matter how well you know or get to know the contractors, architects, engineers or homeowners or how qualified they are, nor how challenging the project is. All inspections have specific and similar steps and processes to follow. This is what is expected of a professional Building Inspector. Code of Ethics as Defined by the Council of American Building Officials: The protection of life, health and property is a solemn responsibility of the highest order. Recognizing the public's trust bestowed upon individuals engaged in the administration and enforcement of building regulatory codes, the Council of American Building Officials advocates commitment to a standard of professional behavior that exemplifies the highest ideals and principles of ethical conduct. The governing concepts embodied in this philosophy are characterized herein below, for the benefit of guidance of those so engaged, and for the enlightenment of the public so served - The Building Inspector Shall: Place the public's welfare above all other interests and recognize that the chief function of govern- ment is to serve the best interests of all the people. Demonstrate integrity, honesty and fairness in all transactions and constantly strive for excellence in all matters of ethical conduct. Recognize the continuing need for developing improved safety standards for the protection of life, health and property, and acknowledge a professional obligation to contribute time and expertise in the development of such improvement. Maintain professional competence in all areas of employment responsibility and encourage the same in associates at all levels. Accept no personal favors for public services rendered and conscientiously avoid all circumstances that could compromise professional integrity.

Each inspection, no matter how small or large, involves a series of specif- ic methodical functions. If we follow these steps, we will never be caught off guard or allow a job to get out of hand. This training will bring you through the following aspects of building inspection: arriving, perform- ing, documenting and departing an inspection, as well as office protocol_ Always keep in mind that a Build- ing Inspector's job is to assist people in complying with the code and fulfilling our duty of protecting their health, life and safety. Prior to Coming to Work: Practice good hygiene, i.e_ shower, shave, style hair, etc. Dress appropriately — collared shirts (button-down or polo style); clean slacks or nice jeans; no holes, stains or odors ➢ Wear appropriate shoes or boots for job sites ➢ Maintain a professional appearance at all times The Office: Arrive at work on time and prepared for the day ➢ Pull inspection requests off inspection line ➢ Organize inspection requests ➢ Pull files, review job folder and progress ➢ Gather required information as needed on projects — discuss job with other Inspectors and depart- ments as needed, i.e. planning, public works, fire, health, etc_ Anticipate information and knowledge level required for the day's inspections. Refresh your knowl- edge in those areas that you may be rusty or unfamiliar with. ➢ Inventory your need for any office materials, such as correction notices, stop work notices, writing tablets, pens, batteries, etc. ➢ Place any necessary phone calls to coordinate inspections and return any voicemails or emails ➢ Review City's copy of plans, if needed, and discuss any areas needing clarification ➢ Fill out your daily inspection log sheet and make sure the counter technician has a copy before leav- ing for the field Always look for ways to be of assistance and helpful to office staff, such as helping out at the counter or with filing duties, when time allows Don't work on personal projects, reports, presentations or other things that could be perceived as inappropriate during work hours. When in doubt, ask your supervisor. The Field: Don't discuss, repeat or tell any jokes, stories or other subject matter that may be perceived as offen- sive or inappropriate. This also applies to the field, as you never know who may be overhearing your conversation. Never use profanity. ➢ Check vehicle over before leaving, i.e_ tires, lights, gas, etc. ➢ Organize the day's calls and materials in vehicle for easy access ➢ Check map and know routes needed for inspections ➢ Drive with courtesy, obeying all traffic laws and yielding right-of-way to pedestrians ➢ Assist in emergencies, as needed ➢ While driving to inspection, anticipate the inspection: think about what tools or specific knowledge you may need to perform it. If needed, pull over prior to inspection to brush up on regulations.

Prior to leaving the vehicle, gather your clipboard/binder and check for adequate Comment notices, business cards, etc. ➢ Grab job file and any tools needed for inspection, i.e. flashlight, GFCI, AFCI tester, etc. ➢ Prior to departing vehicle, make sure to leave your ego in the car. You are there representing the jurisdiction and BVNA as a professional Inspector on official business and this is no place for your personal feelings, opinions, or ego. When walking to a house or business, be respectful of landscaping, follow walkways, and do not cut across lawns or planters. Prior to knocking on the door or ringing the bell, have a business card ready in your hand if it is your first visit to the project. Ring bell (make sure you hear it ring) and wait at least 10 seconds or more before knocking. If no answer, knock again and wait for at least 3 tries. If no answer, then leave a correction notice stating to please allow access when calling for an inspection and for them to call to reschedule the inspec- tion. Put the time you were there and leave your business card with the notice. Most times, it is easy to fold in half and wedge with card in between door and jamb, or, tape it to the door. r When a person answers the door, introduce yourself while handing them your business card. For example, "Hi, I am Inspector Tony Falcone for the City and I am here for a framing inspection on your remodel project." If a person looking younger than 18 answers the door, ask if a parent is home. If not, and there is no one over 18, then explain that you are not allowed to enter the home and write a correction notice explaining this. v Do not enter private property beyond the area of curtilage, such as entering the rear yard unless spe- cific permission is granted. This can be verbal or in writing. ➢ While inside someone's home, be respectful and let people lead you to the work unless they direct you. Be helpful and answer any questions they may have for you. Ask to see the approved plan. Unroll it and study it prior to, and, as necessary, during the inspection. ➢ Stop walking when observing to avoid tripping_ When the inspection is completed, let the person you are dealing with know that you have finished and will be leaving. ➢ Let them know the results of the inspection and answer any questions they may have. Make sure the homeowner sees us as allies in their project and understands why we are there. It never hurts to remind them that we are there to assure that minimum health, life and safety requirements are complied with. ➢ Let them know that they can call you with any questions and say goodbye. ➢ When back in the car, make appropriate notifications on file folder and proceed to next inspection. If faced with confrontation or anger, allow the person to "vent" and try to explain, in simple terms, what it is that is required or needed or what action is required. Also, present yourself as being helpful; try to give them helpful advice that may assist them. If they are verbally abusive or threaten harm, do not engage or allow them to "push your buttons." Simply explain that you are leaving and they can call you back when they have calmed down. ➢ While driving to inspections, keep an eye out for illegal construction. ➢ If construction is viewed that you suspect may not be permitted, make note of the address and con - 7 W CtLIFONIA WORKING TOGETHERFOR A SAFER WORLDS City of Santa CEarita C'° TR C-1[UA€- SERVICES FOR PLAN REVIEW, BLJILDING INSPECT 10N.AND/OR PERMIT RELATED Part I: Section 15, Additional Data ROFFSSIONAL SERVICFS FOR TI;E CITY OF SANTA C AMTA'S BU11' DING AND SAFETY GiVISION tact the office to check it out.

Explain that they are to stop all work until all required permits are issued. Do not engage if confronted, simply hand them the SWO and invite them to come to the City's Building Department, where they can obtain the required permits. Keep in mind that there are only two outcomes to an inspection: 1) It passes and is documented as such; 2) It fails and a correction notice is written. Note: There is no such thing as a verbal correc- tion notice, even if it is minor or you know the person well — the correction notice protects them and you. Anyone should be able to follow up behind you and pick up where you left off, and this way they know for sure where you left off, what you inspected and what, if any, Comment are required. It saves time and energy. When the correction is verbal and you do not follow up on it, there is no as- surance to the other Inspector that you have completed a full inspection. The Correction Notice This is the most important part of an Inspector's job. It is our tool for communication and documentation. Think of every file folder as a legal case file (because it is) with the real possibility of it being scrutinized in court someday. Anyone should be able to pick up that file and understand what inspections have taken place, when they were performed and what the outcome was. The same applies to the correction notice it should be written in common language and anyone should be able to understand what is being com- municated. No matter how well you know the person or how confident you are in their work, you must write correction notices when there is an infraction. This protects you and the builder from miscommunication and saves time in the long run. Vague Comment lead to confusion, phone calls and problems. It is a time saver to take the extra time to write a clear, concise and complete correction notice. Write or print clearly. Write in complete address, date, and permit number in appropriate spaces. y Write in type of inspection and be specific, i.e. rough frame, underground plumbing, final electrical, partial frame of first floor bedroom, etc. r Start each correction with a verb, giving direction to action required. For example: Provide approved pians on site, Remove all PVC gas piping, Install A35's as shown in detail 6/S-1, Complete all electrical work, Obtain engineered detail for beam to post connection at NW corner, Clean all debris from inside return air plenum, Follow layout on approved plans, Pressurize gas piping to a minimum of 10 PSI, Excavate footing to minimum of 24" deep, Reinstall ceiling joists in bedroom to meet approved plans, Discontinue removal of studs on west wall until properly shored and braced. Each correction item is a directive to the builder to take some type of action to obtain approval. It is imperative that we give clear, concise direction to eliminate any confusion or miscommunication. Number each correction notice if writing more than one page (1 of 2, etc.) Use simple language that the homeowner, office staff and future homeowners will understand. Do not use abbreviations, acronyms or construction terminology. Homeowners do not know these terms, nor does most of the office staff. Refer to plan details when possible. ➢ indicate location or region of problem, when possible. y If the same deficiency is repeated in numerous places, then assume there are more and write a "gen- eral correction" such as, "Install all missing A -35's as required on approved plans."

ABOUT THE COMPANY Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc. (SFA) is a California Corporation founded by Scott Fazekas in June 1996. It was formed to offer building safety plan review services to governmental agencies. Mr. Fazekas started and managed identical services for a consulting firm over the 11 years prior to forming SFA, with 12 years of prior municipal building safety experience as a City employee, for a total of 34 years of municipal consulting experience. Section - 1- introduction SFA was established to provide services exclusively to municipal building departments. This not only ensures that no real or perceived conflicts of interest could occur but also provides a specialized operation that is tailored to the exact needs of municipal building departments. The primary service provided to our clients is plan review. SFA's plan check capabilities are enhanced by our understanding of the roles in a municipal building department which interface with, and rely upon, a competent plan review. The associations and qualifications of all key personnel have been drawn upon to offer excellent resources to the City of Santa Clarita. SFA has developed a strong plan check team with years of experience and excellent credentials who all work in one well -coordinated office location. Emphasis is on consistent, well informed application of code expertise in the review of projects. Staff tenure offers our clients the stability of SFA's resources and historical knowledge of policies, practices and specific projects. SFA's staff have attained LEED AP and CASp certifications. SFA's activities in professional organizations are represented in the resume of Scott Fazekas and our team of plan check engineers. Mr. Fazekas has served at and lectured at seminars for the two primary organizations which represent building safety professionals: I.C.C. and Calbo. Additionally, he served four years on I.C.B.O.'s General Design Code Development Committee which then became the Structural Code Review Committee in 1999. One of SFA's senior plan check engineers, Ganesh Rao, S.E., has developed and instructed the Calbo Structural Code Update Seminar for the new C.B.C. Additionally, Vic Penera, S.E., served as Chairman of the I.B.C. Structural Code Development Committee and was involved in the drafting of the new 2000 I.B.C. structural provisions. Brett Archibald, one of SFA's plan check engineers, took the initiative in developing both a commercial and a residential checklist for the new 2010, 2013 and 2016 California Codes. This has been shared with the local I.C.C.Chapters and client agencies. Staying abreast of the code industry is key to SFA's philosophy of serving as a highly -trained extension of our client's staff. All of SFA's plan check staff are licensed Structural or Civil Engineers which allows SFA the ability to assign the challenging structural projects to any one of our engineering staff. This expertise allows SFA the ability to balance out workloads and meet obligations without overloading any one engineer. SFA has been in the same Corporate Park complex for the 21 years we have been in business, offering familiarity and stability to design teams who use SFA's services. SFA's address is: 9 Corporate Park, Suite 200 Irvine, CA 92606 (949) 475-2901, FAX (949) 475-2560 sfairvine@aol.com Scott t-Namelcst. & A.coci:1tcx, I11c. Section - 9 - Introduction PHILOSOPHY Through our experience in providing contract services to governmental agencies, SFA has identified concepts and ideas that are essential for a consultant to possess in order to effectively fulfill the building department requirements of a city or county. They are as follows: • The experience and staff to respond to each agency's needs in a timely, efficient and cost effective manner. • Administrative and management ability of high caliber to identify problem areas and provide for their correction in a timely and sure manner. • The ability to recognize and develop the attributes and strengths of staff members and to utilize them to their full potential. • A reputation for quality performance and integrity to successfully administer all aspects of the codes. • Expectations and performance accountability that are established and adhered to. • Professional representation on behalf of the client agency in order to maintain good public relations. • Communication with the assigned client agency liaison through meetings, memorandums and status reports. • Electronic plan review using both Adobe Acrobat and Bluebeam programs. • Coordination with other agencies which require Building Department involvement. • Attendance of key meetings to keep informed on the most recent code administration techniques and procedures. • SFA will attend meetings at City Hall when requested by City and frequently meets with applicants in our office when clarifications are needed or when minor corrections warrant rechecks in person with the plan check engineer. SFA does not perform any work for the private sector so no conflict of interest can result during our tenure, allowing SFA staff to maintain objectivity in the enforcement of regulations. Section - 9 - Introduction The scope of regulations that affect the design and construction of buildings has become increasingly diverse and complex with new legislation, multiple disabled access regulations and new generation energy regulations in addition to the usual updating of the building codes and municipal ordinances. It is essential to the proper operation of a building department that its staff as well as its consultants be aware of, and well trained in, the interpretation and application of codes and their enforcement. SFA stresses that continually updated training is essential in maintaining quality code enforcement services. The following sections outline in more detail the range of services, approach, unique qualifications, special concerns, personnel and experience that SFA offers the City of Santa Clarita to meet your day-to-day building safety plan check needs. 4 Ncutt .& ac.oci::tec, I�oc. Section 2 - Scope of Services The following is the itemized Scope of Services which SFA's staff is prepared to provide for the City of Santa Clarita. All are expected to be performed as part of this Proposal. The Scope of Services and the manner in which they are performed will be in accordance with the specific requirements of the City's program. Review of plans for compliance with the applicable model codes. 2. Review of plans for compliance with any state- or locally -mandated regulations for energy conservation and disabled access. Preparation of written corrections submitted to the applicant. 4. Recheck and approval of the final plans after all corrections have been incorporated in the plans. Submittal of approved plans and supporting documents to the City of Santa Clarita. 6. Additional related services when so assigned or requested by the City's Building Official. 7. Provide plan review staff at City Hall. This scope of work would involve recruiting the individual staff member with concurrence by City staff. SFA has met and frequently exceeds the deadlines of our client agencies. The best reference of SFA's ability to provide the required services in a timely manner is illustrated in our track record which can be supported by our client reference list. PROJECT MANAGER -LIAISON SFA recognizes the need to assure an adequate level of commitment by key personnel. SFA will commit the President, Scott Fazekas, as the Project Manager who will see to the proper function of the building plan review process and will also be personally involved in performing services. He will serve as an extension of the City staff, fully capable of providing the necessary services as determined by the City. SFA's availability to the City staff is an essential ingredient. Prompt information on job status will be provided whenever requested. The Project Manager will be responsible for the quality of all services provided by SFA's staff. He will be capable of dealing with a diversity of personalities and the many different levels of administrative, technical, professional and construction personnel categories that are involved in building code enforcement. 5 Ncott F axelc:ts .V. Ass4oclates, Wc. Section 2 - Scope of Services SFA will also maintain continual documentation and updated information on the status of all plans being processed. Any inquiries regarding the status of plans which have been forwarded to SFA for review can be directed to us to avoid unnecessary research and phone time by City staff. General Assistance SFA welcomes the opportunity to aid our clients with general information and departmental assistance in addition to providing plan review services. We like to be considered a valuable and accessible resource that will make operating your department easier. SFA's exposure to numerous agency operations, our experienced employees each with specialized expertise, and our involvement in committees and attendance at numerous seminars will give the City of Santa Clarita the benefits associated with an increased level of staffing. BUILDING PLAN REVIEW Building Codes SFA proposes to perform both structural and non-structural plan review of residential, industrial and commercial buildings for compliance to all local ordinances and state code amendments that pertain to local enforcement of building and safety, and for compliance to the adopted California Building Code, Plumbing and Mechanical Code, and Electrical Code. The scope of review may be subject to the direction of the City's liaison. Since revisions are continually being made to the codes to allow for new methods and materials in construction, it is essential that every jurisdiction maintain a well-trained staff in order to provide quality plan review services. As an extension of City staff, SFA provides such quality enforcement of the Codes and Ordinances. CAL Green Code SFA has prepared correction lists, mandatory measures sheets and certification forms for use as deemed appropriate by the City to enforce the new Green Building Standards Code for new construction. Staff has attended and been involved in CAL Green presentations to prepare for enforcement of these new standards. State Disabled Access Regulations (D.S.A.) SFA provides comprehensive administration of the Disabled Access Regulations in Chapter 11-B which the Division of the State Architect mandates local jurisdictions to enforce through the Building Safety Department. This applies to both new and existing buildings. SFA staff is qualified to interpret and enforce state law and also has the expertise to review requests for "Unreasonable Hardship" applications and recommend action should the City so desire. Section 2 - Scope of Services State Disabled Access Regulations (H.C.D.) SFA also administers the new Multi -Family Disabled Access Regulations in Chapter 11-A which local jurisdictions are mandated to enforce by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. These standards pursue a different approach than the D.S.A. regulations in that they apply to residential projects. We have experience in reviewing plans to which these standards apply. State Energy Regulations SFA provides energy calculation review in accordance with the energy law requirements. SFA will incorporate the proper documents in the plans for use by both the inspector and the builder, facilitating improved field relations and quality of the end product. Here also, emphasis is placed on attendance at energy seminars to obtain.updated information and training in the energy regulations and the use of related forms. Federal Flood Plain Regulations Many jurisdictions have areas that, due to either their proximity to water or their elevation, are subject to federal flood plain regulations. If so desired, applicability to each project will be checked and addressed during the plan review stage. This alerts the developer at the earliest possible time in order to allow for advance planning. This is particularly important at the grading plan review stage. Soils Engineering SFA responds to the critical nature of proper building pad and site design as they apply to proposed structures by anticipating potential problems and addressing them at the plan review stage. Staff will review soils reports and verify implementation of their design recommendations and parameters into the structural design of the building as part of the building plan review. When subject to Flood Plain or Liquefaction Zone criteria, SFA will review for such compliance when so directed by the City. Certified Access Specialist SFA will provide the services required under the recent Senate Bill 1608 which mandates cities to comply with the new CASA regulations by July 2010. Scott Fazekas and Brett Archibald are both CASp Certified and available as Certified Access Specialists. 7 Scott F sizelr:is .& Associates, Inc. Section 2 - Scope of Services LEED AP/CBIG SFA has LEED credentialed staff and California Build it Green Credentialed staff which provides evidence of familiarity with the changing regulations in green building which the City will face dealing with. Additional Services SFA will provide any additional services within the scope of our professional consulting expertise, as needed, on an hourly basis. Consultations requested by the Building Official are without charge unless it involves a more extensive assignment. Section 3 - Methodology/Approach INTERNAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF SFA Office Hours SFA's office hours are between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday during which time SFA staff will be available for communication directly with the applicants. Agency Information Sheet This form is designed as a starting point for the plan checker to review prior to commencing each project. It serves as a summary of items which may be unique or exclusive to each client such as ordinance amendments, special policies or interpretations, plan routing preferences, contact person(s) in agency, etc... This form is often backed up with other documents such as general notes, ordinances, agency checklists or guidelines. This form can easily be updated at any time by simply calling SFA. Plan Transmittal SFA will utilize the services of UPS or OnTrack for plan delivery purposes. This service will be paid for by SFA. Pre -labeled mail bags are also provided so dispatching plans to SFA is simple and convenient. When plans are completed they are stamped on every page, signed and forwarded by UPS or OnTrack or courier with a transmittal form directly to the City. The plan transmittal procedure used by SFA eliminates the possibility of the plans being tampered with when being forwarded for permit issuance. Computer Plan Check Log Internal tracking is accomplished by a sophisticated computer software that allows for daily tracking of status of each and every plan check and also gives SFA the workload of each engineer. Incoming and outgoing plans are logged into the computer daily which allows us to know the status of a project immediately. This program allows SFA to quickly answer applicants who call wanting to know plan check status of projects. Many other reports are also available and utilized by many of our clients. Reports that show the client all active plans for their City, and the status of each, can be printed on a weekly basis to show the client the status and history of their projects. Weekly status reports are also printed for internal tracking of performance on turnaround times. Additionally, SFA has a Daily Scheduling Report which monitors each plan checker's workload and plan review due dates. This is an essential ingredient in meeting our turnaround times. 9 Scot ITayielt=is .Z Assoclntec, Iliac. Section 3 - Methodology/Approach Correction Lists The plan review staff have a variety of correction lists, supplemental lists and guidelines for use as deemed appropriate on each individual project. Should the City require use of their standard correction lists, SFA can easily accommodate this by maintaining copies in our Agency Correction List File and referencing their use on our Agency Information Sheet which all plan check staff reference at the beginning of each review. A list of all required plan corrections will be typed on SFA's Correction Lists and will be submitted to the City. Transmittal Form SFA's Transmittal Form is tailored for use specifically with building plan checks. Besides serving to document enclosures, it serves as a good communication tool to alert the permit technician of a number of things which are critical at the permit issuance stage. Some examples are: 1) when special inspection is required; 2) when another agency approval is necessary; 3) if the building official was involved in an interpretation and should be given a chance to review the project; and 4) if additional review fees are due as well as a number of other topics. Questionnaire SFA makes available Questionnaires to each applicant for optional use after the plans are approved. This insures that the designer who worked with SFA is given the opportunity to comment. This helps by soliciting feedback on the services provided by SFA to customers of the building departments which are entrusted to SFA. The comments received are forwarded to the client agency. This process makes the plan checker aware that the company values a professional attitude, sends a message to applicants that we care about providing professional services, allows follow-up by management if an applicant has concerns, and lastly, it informs the client agency about the service level SFA is providing. SFA's goal is to provide consistent, timely and professional services geared to the needs of each client agency. We want to be considered an extension of your agency's staff; not providing generic services but services which are an integral component with our client's departmental operations. E Section 3 - Methodology/Approach Electronic Plan Submittal SFA has the technical computer -support staff, and an electronic plan review station to accept and review digital, electronic plan submittals. SFA uses both Bluebeam and Adobe Acrobat format. SFA has performed electronic plan reviews for many of our client cities. Timely Performance SFA will strive to maintain efficient turnaround times on all reviews since this is largely a measurement of our performance. It is one of the categories on our questionnaire which is given to our applicants. The turnaround time indicated is the date by which the plans are to be received back at the City. The turnaround times Regular Plan Review for residential and commercial, new construction, additions and remodels will be as follows: Initial Review 10 workdays Rechecks 5 workdays Very Large Projects As agreed upon with B.O. or the assigned City Representative The turnaround times Expedited Plan Review for residential and commercial, new construction, additions and remodels will be as follows: Initial Review 5 workdays Rechecks 3 workdays Very Large Projects As agreed upon with B.O. or the Assigned City Representative SFA prides ourselves on meeting the needs of our client agencies. SFA will accommodate preliminary reviews to facilitate more on -track projects at the time of the formal submittal for plan check when requested by the City staff. This will aid in timely turnaround times as well as good public relations. 11 1c4ptt I-aielc:ac & Associates, laic. Section 3 - Methodology/Approach Quality Control Quality control is achieved by internal policies and a philosophy which recognizes the benefits of a work product that is recognized as professional, consistent, service-oriented, technically accurate, and tailored to each client agency's needs. In addition to our listed policies and procedures, SFA has instituted four internal practices: 1) Regular staff meetings with all plan check staff; 2) Continuing education for all staff through seminars and webinars; and 3) Employ a philosophy of retaining experienced staff with long tenure. Conflict of Interest Reputation of the City's consultant reflects upon the City. In addition to technical and administrative quality, the perception that the consultant is objective and free from any conflict of interest is critical. Not only does SFA decline doing any private work within the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Clarita, but we decline private, non -municipal work anywhere. Additionally, even our plan check staff are prohibited from doing any work outside of their employment with SFA that could cause a conflict of interest. Public Relations/City Representation All representation with the public and other agencies relating to building plan review will be made in a professional and courteous manner. Upon completion of initial plan reviews, the applicants are contacted by telephone and are given the option of either having their plans mailed to them or being able to pick them up in person. When they resubmit corrected plans, they are also given the option of transmittal by UPS or OnTrack or coming in and going over any corrections in person. Meetings in our office are handled without interruption in one of several private offices should the applicant desire to go over questions on the plans in person. SFA uses UPS or OnTrack for transmittal of plans to assure verifiable and prompt delivery. Interaction with Applicants To summarize, SFA's approach involves courtesy, responsiveness, communication, technical thoroughness, convenience and follow-up on service level. Some specific illustrations are as follows: When additional information is needed from applicants to complete the review, applicants are contacted by phone to discuss best approach to facilitate a complete/timely review. Meetings at City Hall or in the field may be attended by plan checker when requested by the Building Official. 12 Section 3 - Methodology/Approach • Communication regarding corrections is offered via FAX or e-mail. • An Applicant Questionnaire will be sent after completion of each initial plan check and any comments received are forwarded to the City. • A customized Transmittal Form tailored exclusively for plan check is used to enhance communication with the applicant and the City's permit technician. • Prompt turnaround times as stated earlier in Proposal. Special circumstances and requests will be given every effort to accommodate special/shorter time frame scheduling needs. • SFA maintains copies of all records to insure that misplaced documents by applicants will not cause project delays. • SFA has standardized checklists which can also be used by applicants as a good design guide. • Preliminary reviews are available if applicant so requests through the City's Representative. • Code interpretations relating to items challenged by the applicants will be handled by senior staff to achieve an agreeable solution or SFA will contact the City to determine what the Building Official's ruling and direction would be. • Recheck meetings in SFA's office for minor items or when complex issues arise. 13 Nc4ptt I�nmelcsas S.

The percentage fees are scaled based on valuation as follows: Project Valuation Up to $100,000 Up to $500,000 Up to $3,00,000 Over $3,000,000 % of City P.C. Fee 70% 60% 50% 35% Expedited Reviews would be provided at the same percentage rate of the City's fee since the City collects a surcharge.
