Consultants, upon request by the City, shall perform electronic plan review on the platform as specified by the City SPECIFIC CHALLENGES We also have a good understanding of the challenges of design projects, both public and private, in the Coachella Valley. A number of our employees have direct experience working with Coachella Valley Cities. These challenges include obtaining compliance with the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) PM 10 regulations. The Coachella Valley has been a "non -attainment" area for a long period of time. La Quinta is in a high wind corridor in the lower desert which causes a high amount of blowing sand during grading and construction operations. Much care must be taken during these operations to ensure adequate dust control to avoid project shutdown and fines by SCAQMD. r This is further exacerbated by the on -going drought in the State, making it more =:- difficult to use water spraying for PM 10 control. The spraying of water during grading operations is imperative. After grading is completed, a soil surface binder may be placed that will provide a hard crust surface, thus minimizing blowing sand and dust. Another challenge is the soil type present in the desert area. This causes very un-cohesive soils that must be taken into account when any design plans requiring trenching is involved, especially in the existing street system. Because of soil sloughing during trenching, shoring must be incorporated as well as proper trench restoration standards to ensure proper compaction to the areas outside of the trench. If these factors are not incorporated into the design plans, differential settlement will occurto the areas of pavement adjacent to the trench after construction. Pavement failure adjacent to the trench will then accelerate. Each project, map, and permit is different with its own set of established requirements and recorded conditions. Interweststaff will check all requirements and conditions in coordination with Citystaff and ensure they are addressed in the submitted plans. For all of the services requested, it is important that Interwest be responsive with professional staff that acts as an extension of City Staff.
