comments are properly addressed and
considered in the project design. All

complex and challenging projects for a variety of
municipal agencies who have continued to request

years of experience working together. The close
relationships each of our staff members have with
one another provide the City with an extremely
well rounded and experienced team. As such,
TKE’s project team experience directly correlates
with TKE’s firm experience described below. The
second benefit of TKE’s project team is our internal
training procedures. TKE has strived to develop
techniques that reach outside the box and develop
well rounded individuals committed to providing
high quality, efficient services to meet all of our
clients’ needs. TKE trains our staff on every facet
of engineering design to provide a level of
knowledge that can identify problems and design
deficiencies with every project type. It is this
commitment to service and diverse array of
offerings that makes us unique and drives our
long-standing relationships with our client base.
Understanding that all aspects of plan checking are
important to ensure the City’s interests are
protected, our team brings TKE management level
professionals to projects ensuring that every
aspect receives full and comprehensive
consideration. It is this personal touch and contact
that define our ‘local service’ approach. We
consider ourselves community builders and take

alternatives, we will facilitate the delivery of the
most cost effective project alternative that meets
design requirements and will provide for the
greatest opportunity for expedited construction, all
while ensuring the City’s interests remain
protected at all times.
To achieve our goal, we approach our projects by
first developing a project plan. Our project plan
considers the major issues described below and
development of project tasks (Scope of Services)
to be performed by the project team, preparation
of task budgets and preparation of a schedule to
complete each task. Prior to beginning preparation
of a project plan and Scope of Services, we would
perform the following:
• Detailed Review of the Project
• Preliminary Research and Data Collection
• Client Inquiries
• Field Reconnaissance
To achieve our goal, we approach our projects by
first developing a project plan. We have identified
the following key elements:
C ITY C OORDINATION AND
P UBLIC M EETINGS
TKE’s project staff will be available for meetings
at the City as much as requested and as
needed. Meeting with staff, developers, other
consultants, and regulatory agencies will be
vital to ensuring expedited project
completion. The consultant engineer must be
available as needed to address issues as they
arise. Appropriate TKE staff will manage their
schedule to meet the City needs and will
manage other projects as required to ensure
timely City needs are met.
In addition, the TKE staff will be available to
attend all project review meetings as requested
by City staff.
P ROJECT M ANAGEMENT
Project management will be an essential
element in all types of project plan check
delivery. Effective communications will lead to
effective management. Management will
include weekly reviews of project budget and
schedules and regular meetings with all project
shareholders.
For all projects, either development or capital
improvement, the most important aspect of
management will be to ensure that the City’s
interests are protected to the maximum extent
possible. TKE will ensure that public funds and
impact fees are used for the benefit of the
community. Any deviation from standards and
requirements will be referred to the public
works director and TKE will implement direction
given by City staff.
For development projects, project
requirements, project schedule compliance and
budget tracking will be important. Project
requirements will be assessed by TKE staff and
presented to the City’s management staff (i.e.
Public Works Director). Upon receipt of
direction from City administration, TKE staff
will be responsible to verify that development
Page | 12
On-Call Map Checking Services
City of La Quinta
SECTION 4 | W ORK P LAN/TECHNICAL A PPROACH
review is completed in compliance with those
project requirements. TKE’s effective project
management techniques will ensure that
compliance will occur.
For developers, time is money. For the City,
development assists the City’s economic
engine. Therefore, maintaining the project
schedule will be one of the most important
tasks. Further, maintaining excellent
communications will prevent any project
processing misunderstandings and will avoid
project delays. TKE management techniques
will result in efficient project delivery.
TKE is prepared to meet the delivery time
parameters required by the City. A typical
delivery time is listed below:
• Map Submittal: May Check Turn-Around
(From Receipt from City Staff)
• 1st Plan Check: 15 Working Days
• 2nd Plan Check: 10 Working Days
• 3rd Plan Check: 10 Working Days
R EGULATORY, S UBDIVISION
M AP A CT AND C ITY S TANDARDS
C OMPLIANCE
Another primary function of TKE staff is to
verify compliance with aspects of federal, state,
and local laws as well as the subdivision map
act and City standards. TKE is already well
versed with federal, state and local
development law and the map act
requirements. Further, TKE will familiarize
ourselves with City standards verifying that all
construction related to engineering
components, are constructed in accordance
with these requirements and standards.
W ORK Q UALITY AND C OST
C ONTROLS
TKE takes pride in its reputation for
thoroughness, rapid turnaround, cost efficiency
and overall quality of work, and believes that a
high level of quality is needed on all services
provided by TKE. Key components of the
program include check lists, field reviews, and
discussion with Client staff. High quality
services yields ease of project oversight,
smoother processing, minimal delays in the
bidding phase, healthy number of bidders,
consistent bids, minimized construction
support cost, absence of design-related change
orders, and reduced claims and dispute
resolution costs.
TKE believes that the most successful quality
assurance program is one that is applied
inherently throughout the entire process. This
program requires not only formal procedures
for checking but encourages the conscientious
effort of experienced people to always “think
quality” in every task performed throughout
the design process. This program has become
a natural element in all aspects of TKE’s
management activities and will guide all
services provided by TKE.
Effective QA/QC includes assignment of
experienced staff, continuity of staffing,
project-specific work plan, schedule
compliance, comprehensive field review and
compilation of site data, established design
procedures, established detailing standards,
established checking procedures, including
independent in-house QA/QC review, dual
(independent) quantity estimates, and review
by constructability expert. The Quality
Assurance / Quality Control program is in place
to ensure that services provided by TKE
continues to exceed the standards of our clients
and that we will deliver the projects on
schedule and within budget.
Regarding cost controls, TKE’s client manager
will provide monthly progress reports
documenting project progress for all projects
assigned to TKE using a comprehensive project
management summary. The summary
includes project name and related number,
description of progress, budget status,
schedule compliance, and anticipated
upcoming accomplishments.
E. SCOPE OF WORK
TKE’s typical projected scope of services is
presented in the following paragraphs:
Page | 13
On-Call Map Checking Services
City of La Quinta
SECTION 4 | W ORK P LAN/TECHNICAL A PPROACH
P LAN AND M AP C HECKING
S ERVICES
Plan and map checking will be required for
developer engineering plan and maps prepared
by others as well as capital projects plans
prepared by others. TKE experienced staff
utilizes check list to verify compliance with City
standards. If such check lists are not already
available, TKE will prepare them for use during
checking. TKE’s staff provides the most
qualified team to complete these services.
TKE staff will review tract maps, parcel maps,
records of survey, plans, appraisal reports,
maps, legals and plats, and other right-of-way
documents. Upon review of the map check,
TKE will conduct reviews to ensure all
construction requirements have been identified
and will be addressed with the design. Map
check comments will be reviewed with City
contact demonstrating incorporation and
independent in-house compliance. Map
Checkers, Map Checkers and Clerical Staff will
be providing these services.
D EVELOPMENT S ERVICES
As discussed previously, TKE has extensive
experience with Public side development
services processing. TKE will provide:
1) Project Screen Checks
2) Review Project Impact Reports
3) Review Technical Studies and Reports
4) Review Plan and Maps for Regulatory
Compliance
5) Review Cost Estimates for Required
Bonding
6) Review Development Agreements
