5. WORK PLAN/TECHNICAL APPROACH
Civil Plan Check Approach
Our primary approach is to serve as a direct extension
of the City staff. NV5 will take every measure possible
to see that the City’s timeline is met. It is our intention
to consistently beat the plan review turnaround times
while assuring continuous quality and reasonable
implementation of the state codes and all local
amendments. We will put forth a coordinated effort and
responsibility to track and coordinate all applications or
requests received in the City.
All plan check services will be driven by the accepted
architect-engineering and industry professional practices,
and will comply with the applicable regulations. Turnaround
times of plan checks are crucial, and we intend to return
plan checks within the timelines outlined by the City. We
continually train existing employees and recruit new talent
to exceed the expectations of our clients.
We understand how essential it is for individual
departments to work together in order to build a
successful project. Our philosophy is to work closely with
all departments, divisions and agencies to eliminate
redundancy and increase efficiency. We understand the
difficulties in interpreting design standards, and we take
pride in providing solutions for your constituents.
Outlined below is the general process the NV5 team
utilizes to provide plan review services. This is presented
as a guideline to be adjusted according to the processing
procedures of your jurisdiction. We will work with the
City in a seamless manner for review of plans for code
compliance and keeping projects moving to the finish line.
DELIVERABLES
Deliverables for a typical plan check project include:
• Cost confirmation letter (if required)
• Signed comment letter with checklist
• Redlined plans
In compliance with state law, all plan check services will
be performed by or under the responsible charge of a
California licensed professional eligible to prepare and
sign the type of map, plan, or professional study being
reviewed. All plan review memos will be signed and sealed
by a duly licensed professional.
SUBMITTAL SEQUENCE
Each submittal will generally follow the following sequence:
First Plan Check
The initial plan check will be comprehensive and identify
all significant issues. It is important to present significant
issues to the developer as early in the review process as
possible, so that the developer can respond in a timely
manner. In addition to the typical scope of services, the
first plan check will include the following:
• Plan Review Checklist
• Review of Conditions of Discretionary Approval
• Analysis of Easement Requirements and Right-Of-Way
Needs
• Identification of Required Coordination with Inter-
Agency Jurisdictional Issues
Subsequent Submittals
Plan check resubmittals are reviewed for completeness
and to determine if all previous comments have been fully
addressed. If the developer has made significant changes
to the submittal, new review comments may be necessary.
The NV5 plan checker will identify remaining deficiencies
in the documents for subsequent reiterations of the plan
check submittals.
Final Review
We anticipate that after no more than three (3) plan
checks, NV5 will request that the developer submit final
plans and associated documents, as required by the City
for final review. NV5 will confirm that plans are complete
and that all associated documents have been submitted.
NV5 will then provide an approval letter and other required
documents and transmittals, depending on the type of
review.
Transmittal
NV5 will maintain accurate and comprehensive records
related to all plans, calculations and documents received.
Our team is experienced in providing digital plan review
and will accept, review and return plans electronically if the
City desires.
We will screen and log every application to assure they
are routed to all plan checkers in a timely manner. All
submittals are checked for compliance with relevant
state and local requirements. The log serves as a tracking
device to assure turnarounds and completeness of review.
Corrections
NV5 will assure that corrections are handled as quickly
City of La Quinta | On-Call Engineering Plan Checking Services NV5 | 5
5. WORK PLAN/TECHNICAL APPROACH
and as clearly as possible. We will identify all corrections
based on compliance with specific standards, codes and
regulations. We will either provide notes on the plans as
appropriate, or provide a correction sheet detailing which
items need to be addressed for plan approval.
Each project will be reviewed with strict adherence to our
company policy of independent objectivity as a third party.
Projects have ranged from the simple to the complex
across all types of construction. Our wide exposure and
expertise allow us to provide impartial and comprehensive
plan reviews clearly indicating the applicable codes and
standards and documenting noted deficiencies. Our
reviews are individually prepared for each project and,
while we use Agency standard checklists as a basis for
our review, we also review each individual project for site-
specific impacts and technical merits — including boundary
conditions and general construction considerations. Our
Plan Review Reports are written to provide the design
team with a clear and concise understanding of the issues.
Comments from each discipline are grouped together for
easy reference, and each comment references a specific
item in the plans or specifications as well as a reference.
Approvals
Upon completion of each plan review, plans and supporting
documents will be returned to the City recommending
approval. Approval will only be given when all compliance
issues are resolved to the best of our team’s knowledge
and all requirements of the City are satisfied.
Accelerated Plan Review
In most cases, we will complete the initial plan review in
10 working days and considerably less time for re-checks.
However, some plans may require expedited review. At
your request, we will perform plan review services within
an accelerated time frame. Accelerated plan review may
require an additional fee, agreed upon by the applicant
and NV5.
Meetings
We will conduct and coordinate all communications with
the City for plan review comments to assure that plan
review issues are handled efficiently. During the plan
review process, we are prepared to meet with City staff and
the applicant at any time. Our goal is to issue approved
plans as quickly as possible, but in full compliance with
local codes, ordinances and guidelines. Our experience
suggests greater involvement early in the design process
yields exceptional benefits. We feel it is helpful to be
involved in Development Review meetings for projects
subject to the Planning Review process.
MANAGEMENT PLAN + QA/QC
Our managerial approach is based on shared expectations
and clear and consistent communication with City staff
throughout the delivery of projects. We will implement
a comprehensive program based on best practices to
validate that each and every review is thorough, accurate,
consistent and timely. This system’s success is based on
thousands of hours of practical, real- world experience by
our dedicated personnel and their unique ability to interact
quickly and efficiently with your staff. The specific action
items in our process include:
• Coordination and Communication: Our staff will
handle the necessary administrative functions,
such as project tracking, managing project controls,
maintaining and distributing communications,
reviewing agendas and ordinance issues, and fielding
calls on project status.
• Reliable and Responsive Service: Our project
manager will provide proactive communication, utilize
proven project management tools and best practices,
and will anticipate your needs and quickly respond
with accurate and detailed information every step
of the way. We are available to meet with the City at
kickoff and progress meetings to discuss procedures,
projects, and to maintain momentum and project
schedules.
• Efficiently Meet Turnaround Deadlines and Maintain
Development Momentum: An emphasis will be
placed on our staff’s experience with the City and
requirements to proactively facilitate communication
and processing. We will work to assure proven quality
assurance and schedule control measures are
implemented.
• Maintain Accuracy and Cost Savings Through
Proven Processes and Continuity: We can implement
integrated, standardized processes, including
electronic plan reviews that will be utilized by
seasoned staff members who deliver plan review
comments that are consistent, thorough, accurate,
and done right the first time.
• Analyzing Submittals: Our team will review and
assess initial submittals for completeness, review
title sheets and non-technical issues; maintain files;
monitor due dates; monitor contract budget and
status tracking reports; and coordinate invoicing.
Consistency will be maintained by assigning the
project to the same reviewer that performed the
previous reviews, unless circumstances dictate
otherwise.
City of La Quinta | On-Call Engineering Plan Checking Services NV5 | 6
5. WORK PLAN/TECHNICAL APPROACH
• Facilitating Quality Reviews: Our experienced public
works plan reviewers will routinely review agency
standards, ordinances, guidelines, and update
checklists; write comment letters; coordinate project
returns; attend review meetings; and communicate
comments to the applicant and designers. Because of
our depth of resources and project tools (checklists,
comment letters), reassigned projects can be
reviewed without missing deadlines or causing
unnecessary rechecks.
• Providing Expertise: Our experts will provide a quality,
comprehensive review of plans, studies, maps and
reports in accordance with all accepted engineering
practices, the Subdivision Map Act, applicable
regulations and City development standards. Our
experts are also available to meet with your staff to
clarify comments and discuss solutions, as well as
provide full and complete reviews for each project
that will minimize the number of resubmittals by the
customer.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control: We are
committed to a Quality Assurance, Quality Control and
Constructability Review protocol for all deliverables
submitted to a client. Our QC policy requires our
project engineer and project manager to sign off on
the cover sheet and commit that they have reviewed
the submittal and are accepting responsibility for the
quality of the documents prior to being submitted for
review by peers.
