TRANSITION PERIOD
4LEAF's transition team will immediately shadow existing staff to obtain an understanding of existing operations.
Documentation will be made of existing operations and recommendations for process modifications may be
presented for management approval. This observation and recommendation process is followed by onboarding
and training of the assigned 4LEAF staff to ensure all team members have a detailed understanding of both current
City processes and how to implement a comprehensive plan of action to update these processes moving forward.
Our staff are well trained and certified and have worked with numerous jurisdictions in Southern California such as
the cities of Victorville, Indian Wells, Hemet, and the County of Los Angeles.
As an experienced firm, 4LEAF has approaches to working with clients that differ from those you might find when
working with a large corporation. Our philosophy is to strive to be the best firm providing our clients with
outstanding customer service and first-rate plan review and inspection services. 4LEAF has been the industry leader
in providing Building Department Services to public and private clients throughout California.
Our Project Manager, Marcus Johnson, will arrange to meet with the City to review the City's policies, workflow,
and job duties of current staff. In working with the City, it will be determined how to best integrate our staff and
achieve a seamless flow within the City's structure. The first step is to acclimate our team to the culture of the City
by communicating and introducing our staff to the City. Creating a plan together, establishing goals and learning
everyone's roles helps will help the team to work together. After the "transition period" where we have gone
through several reviews and/or inspections of projects, 4LEAF's management team will check in with the City to
see on how things are going and if we need to make any adjustments.
A common compliment 4LEAF receives from our clientele is of our timely responsiveness. Our employees and our
management staff are diligent about being available to our clients. Additionally, 4LEAF is a 24/7 operation and we
encourage our clients to call us whenever a need arises (texting is suggested for an instant response). From
questions to staff needs, 4LEAF will provide timely responses to all requests. Phone calls and emails will be
returned each day as soon as possible. We understand the need for timely responses, and we have a policy that
all correspondence must be answered within 24 hours. Direct numbers and emails to our management team can
be found in Section 2.
Plan Check Services
4LEAF will provide Plan Check for any type of structure to ensure compliance with all adopted codes, local
ordinances (including Tier 1 of Cal Green, if required) and State and federal laws that pertain to Building and Safety,
and for compliance with the adopted International Code Council (ICC) Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical,
National Fire Protection codes and standards, and the Accessibility and Noise and Energy Conservation
requirements as mandated by the State of California Title 24, State of California Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance, the State of California Certified Access Specialist (CASp) compliance, and all other applicable ordinances
per the Riverside County Environmental Health Department, Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), etc. The types
of projects we provide these services for include Single -Family Dwellings, large Multi -Family Mixed -Use Dwelling
Units, Commercial, and Industrial.
Approach
We understand that the specific building plan review responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
• Examining plans, drawings, specifications, computations documents, soils reports, and additional data.

• Ascertaining whether projects are in accordance with applicable building and fire codes, and City adopted
Building and Municipal code requirements.
• Performing such reviews as structural, MEP, green building, fire and life safety, grading, and drainage.
• Reviewing plans to ensure conformity to the required strengths, stresses, strains, loads, and stability as
per the applicable laws.
• Reviewing plans to ensure conformity with use and occupancy classification, general building heights &
areas, types of construction, fire resistance construction and protection systems, means of egress,
accessibility, structural design, soils and foundations, and masonry.
• Providing additional plan review services as requested by the County including facilities, parks and other
land use areas.
• Conducting all plan review at the County Department or at a site mutually agreed upon in writing.
On- and Off -Site Review
4LEAF can supply Registered Professional Engineers to the City to work on-site performing structural plan check
and non-structural reviews at the jurisdiction's discretion. Our experience includes checking for compliance with
the structural, life -safety, accessibility, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, and local codes/ordinances and
providing alternate methods of construction and recommendations.
Process Mapping
4LEAF aims to bring departmental processes together by identifying and
eliminating obstacles to streamline processes. Our subject -matter experts visit cce a
each department within a jurisdiction to conduct an analysis of existing
processes, identify how best to streamline separate departmental processes to improve workflow, and provide
guidance and recommendations on an improved work plan. 4LEAF implementation staff offer extensive training to
existing municipal staff members on the use of a jurisdiction's preferred permitting software. We have a robust
amount of experience with software that aids in the implementation of process mapping.
Plan Check QA/AC Review Process
Task 1- Project Tracking Set-up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City of La Quinta
each to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal
throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.
Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage (preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan review
project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete (i.e., all pertinent plans, calculations,
reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted package is
incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the deficient documents needed to proceed with our
review.
Task 3 - Plan Check Assignment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to the most
qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We will log each application into our database

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT • PLAN CHECK
INSPECFION PLANNING • CODF FNFnRCFMFNT
the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for daily project
tracking.
Task 4 - Plan Check
4LEAF will provide the project contact (Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City of La
Quinta with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building codes,
ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.
Task 5 - Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review
the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.
After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e-mailed to a designated staff member at the
City of La Quinta or as directed by the City. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include the following
information: a description of the work, type of construction, occupancy group, square footage, number of floors,
and sprinkler requirements.
Task 6 - Plan Check Rechecks
Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for conformance. Our goal is to actively work with the designers to
resolve all unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are complicated issues that might
cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve these
concerns.
Task 7 - Project Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting
documents per the City of La Quinta processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our letter of
completion.
Turn -Around Times
4LEAF has a tremendous reputation for completing projects on-time and under budget. 4LEAF's plan check team is
widely recognized for quick turn -around times and prompt service. Off-site plan checks are performed at our office,
with plans transmitted by personal delivery or overnight service. The standard turn -around time is within 10
business days for residential plan check and within 10 days for commercial/industrial plan checks; however, these
timeframes are negotiable based on your needs. 4LEAF also provides Fire Plan Check services.

*Larger complex plan checks can be negotiated to achieve the best possible pricing. 4LEAF has a proven track
record of working with municipalities to provide expedited reviews with special discounted pricing.
Pick-up of all plans will be performed by 4LEAF staff within 24 hours of the City's phone call or e-mail. 4LEAF prefers
to pick-up and deliver the plans in person to communicate information that may be pertinent to the project and
maintain consistent communication. At no additional cost, 4LEAF staff will transport the plans to and from the City
upon a phone call to the 4LEAF office or simply e-mail for "pick-up" to pickupsocal@41eafinc.com.
4LEAF's EZPIan Review
EZPIan Review is our in-house tracking software that acts as a
communication tool between 4LEAF and the jurisdictions we
work with. The use of EZPIan makes communication easy. This
web portal allows users to visualize project due dates, notes,
and status updates so that projects can be followed from start
to finish. Additionally, 4LEAF provides electronically stamped
and uploaded copies of approved project plans, a value which
saves clients time and resources. With the use of EZPIan, 4LEAF
hopes to provide a level of ease and transparency during the
off-site plan review process.
Document Control
When plans and documents are received for review, 4LEAF's Plan Check
Manager and Document Control Technician analyze the project, creates a
job number, and completes a Job Setup Sheet. This form highlights both
the jurisdiction, applicable contact information, and all project specific
design criteria and notes. Jobs are then transmitted through 4LEAF's easily
accessed EZPIan Review Portal which tracks initial and subsequent reviews
and is open for view by the client. The City and their customers can view
4LEAF's plan check control log through 4LEAF's EZPIan Review Portal.
[-()I V.-k9f)PJt:-
'�-`��
Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting of Plan Check Engineers, Architect (a licensed state
professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as applicable. Our staff then performs their function of
analyzing the plans and documentation for effective conformance to the state codes, referenced construction
standards, and City amendments. When complete, the Plan Check Manager overviews the project for QC purposes
and forwards comments or approvals to the City.
Off -Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan check allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We
strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time
efficiency and a "green" and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital
capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company -wide, from any of our office
locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers,
businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will
be given to City staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process.

disaster assessments and run full programs for rebuilding communities. Here are some examples of our disaster
and emergency response work:
City of Pinole
4LEAF provides the City with immediate emergency response for incidents during evenings and weekends.

dispatched a senior level inspector to the scene to assess the life safety concerns of the incidents.
The Bay Park Retirement Home (City of Pinole).
A utility transformer was sliding down the hill where the parking lot erosion had taken place. The PG&E

immediately dispatched a senior level inspector to the scene to assess the life safety concerns of the incidents.
Sonoma County - Floods
In the Spring of 2019, the County of Sonoma suffered extensive flooding due the rising waters of the Russian River.
4LEAF was able to immediately dispatch 20 inspectors to inspect/assess the damages caused to properties as a
result of the flood. This saved the County a significant amount of time and money by privatizing the work which
was completed over a three-day period.
