the competition and makes us the best-qualified support team for the City.
Knowledge of the City. Willdan has provided professional services to the City of La Quinta on
various projects since 1999. The services include civil and traffic engineering, landscape
architectural, survey, pavement engineering, utility coordination, construction management
and financial consulting services. More specifically Willdan is the incumbent for the current Plan Review contract
since 2019. For this reason, we have an established working relationship with City staff and a familiarity with City
procedures and requirements. Our knowledge of the City will enable us to initiate work quickly and to respond
appropriately to issues that arise during the course of this contract.
Highly Skilled Project Manager. Mr. Ron Stein has 12 years of experience as a project manager, civil engineer and
QA/QC plan reviewer for various municipalities, including 3 years of public works experience with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT). He has led land development engineering teams engaged in the design of
projects encompassing all aspects of the City’s scope of work, conducting meticulous QA/QC plan reviews that
ensured quality products that adhered to all local agency standards. At FDOT, where Mr. Stein focused on public
works construction, he rotated through every office of the department—providing him with a strong technical

City of La Quinta
and public agency staff members on a contract basis for numerous cities and counties. The diversity of our staff’s
experience is an added value of our services.
Willdan has been providing services to local agencies in Southern California for 60 years. Our staff has hands-on
working knowledge and direct experience implementing City and County standards. We have developed a well-
coordinated review process, including a plan check tracking, and reporting system and specific discipline review
checklists, to provide the City with timely, cost-effective service.
On-Call Contract Expertise
On-call engineering services are Willdan's foundation. Our staff includes former public agency employees or
contract agency staff. Therefore, we understand the importance and purpose of on-call contracts and are very
familiar with the processes and procedures for such services. Within the last 10 years, Willdan has completed
projects and task orders for more than 300 as-needed/on-call contracts. This experience and the relevant
experience of our dedicated and available key personnel are what best suits Willdan to provide the City with on-
call services.
Our history of working with on-call contracts has well prepared our staff to respond to all requests for services in a
positive, efficient manner. Our firm's commitment to responsive service and successful project delivery has given
us a reputation as a firm that can be trusted to listen and to deliver a
product our clients envision and embrace.
We begin our approach by adhering to these principles:
Conduct business with truthfulness and high ethical standards
Approach each project with a spirit of resourcefulness and
excellence
Seek appropriate solutions that fit the project
Maintain high standards of technical quality
Willdan understands the unique aspect of working under an on-call
contract. Success in working with this type of contract is dependent
upon understanding a variety of elements that may be encountered,
such as:
Short project durations and minimal lead times for
assignments may be required
Flexibility in service assignments, understanding work to date, and coordinating the completion of project
tasks already started by agency staff in crucial projects
Availability of our staff to the work assignment as it develops is often critical to moving that project forward
Efficient use of resources is important for project assignments that are relatively small
Consistent, organized project management is vital due to the potentially large numbers of projects that may
be in the process
Special attention to quality assurance and quality control is particularly important as short-term projects
may limit the number of interim review steps often associated with a project-specific contract
Other Services
We understand that, in addition to plan checking service, the City may request additional services to be provided.
Willdan’s experience in serving public agencies provides us with unmatched knowledge of the needs and services
required by City departments. As we serve directly in City offices, we are keenly aware of how City CIP and design
projects are planned, designed, and constructed. The services that we provide to clients on a routine basis include

5 – Work Plan/Technical Approach
Understanding of City’s Objections and Requirements
The City of La Quinta is currently seeking proposals from qualified On-Call Engineering
Plan Check firms for a three-year contract term. Plan checking may be provided by an On-
Call Engineering Plan Check Consultant, as applicable, with the scope provided in the RFP.
City Required Information
As a full-service consulting firm with an established history of providing plan review
services, we typically receive the following types of documents and assistance from our
agency partners on plan review assignments:
City improvement plan review checklists
Development Conditions of Approvals
Copies of City Standards
City text files and boilerplate documents
Approved Tentative Map
Specific Plans and General Plans (if not available online)
Requirements of other agencies (such as Riverside County Flood Control District
and Coachella Valley Water District)
Willdan’s Approach
Willdan is noted for open lines of communication and flexibility in providing plan review
services. We can provide reviews of hard copies or electronic documents. Coordination of all plan reviews will be
through Ron Stein. We understand that site visits may be required to the project locations and when so
conducted, photographs will be taken and documented in the project file. It is expected that plan checks should
not exceed four (4) total plan checks which includes three (3) plan reviews and one (1) final electronic mylar review
for approval. Willdan’s approach to the plan review process is shown in the flow chart below and as follows:
Willdan Engineering Proposal for
On-Call Plan Check Services
7
City of La Quinta
Process Items 1 through 4: Once Willdan receives notice of a plan review assignment, we coordinate delivery
of the project documents, log them into the tracking system and distribute them to the discipline leaders.
Process Item 5: The documents are given a preliminary review for completeness, thus ensuring materials
required for review are present. The plans are then assigned an internal project task tracking number. Once
the project receives a task tracking number, the Project Manager assigns the various documents to the
appropriate staff for review.
Process Items 5a through 6b: Our professionals perform a preliminary review of the plans to gain knowledge
of the site and the improvements and to determine any substantial errors or omissions such as obvious utility
conflicts. These can become critical issues that necessitate substantial redesign. If critical issues are noted,
they will be brought to the attention of the City to determine if the review should continue or be suspended
pending the redesign required.
Process Item 7: Saving review time saves time for the developer, which is paramount to a project schedule.
Once a plan check is determined complete for further review, the reviewers review the documents
electronically and provide comments in an electronic format acceptable to the City.
Process Item 8: At the completion of the plan review, a review comment letter will be created which
summarized the comments from all disciplines reviewed.
Process Item 9: Electronic plan review allows for ideal record keeping of documents reviewed. Willdan will
file all documents reviewed electronically and make them available to others as requested by the City.
Process Item 10: At the completion of the plan review, the review documents and comment letter will be
electronically delivered applicant with appropriate City Staff copied.
In our communication process, we can transmit rough drafts of our comments back to the City for review prior to
preparation of final copies. This gives the City staff the prerogative of changing, modifying, or adding any
comments they desire. Following approval of draft comments, final copies are printed on agency letterhead, or as
otherwise directed, and forwarded to the applicant and/or returned to the City. This process assures local input
and knowledge of the content of corrections and produces continuity between the jurisdiction and the consultant.
Plan reviewers will be available to discuss and clarify plan check issues with the City staff, designers, owners, and
contractors. Willdan will utilize Bluebeam software for plan review. The electronic format provides efficiency in
the distribution and recordation of plan review comments and responses. Mylar plans ready for approval by the
City Engineer will be initialed, and a letter will be provided stating that the design is in substantial compliance with
the applicable local, state, and federal requirements. Deliverables to the client and applicant for a typical plan
check will include electronic delivery of reviewed plans and documents and a corresponding plan review comment
letter. For projects containing the review of multiple documents, the plan review comments will be consolidated
into one comprehensive comment letter.
Willdan has been providing plan review services electronically for over 20 years. The electronic plan review
process is a web-based program utilizing software that enables a plan reviewer to insert annotations
(comments) on plans and create issues (comments) within a letter format. Services are provided at
the request of the applicant or the agency we serve. Submittals can be accepted either in hard copy,
whereby Willdan converts the plans to electronic format, or electronic copy in a PDF or TIF format.
Willdan will review plans and can transmit the electronic redlined plans back to the applicant or the
City as directed, in either electronic or hard-copy format. The reviewers can create a comment letter
with links to the electronic project pages under review. All administrative tools are provided for
correspondence, tracking, stepping through stages, and administering all access privileges. This
service allows for collaboration between the City, designer, and plans examiner to facilitate a
complete understanding of plan review comments and can reduce shipping, printing, and time for the plan review.
Willdan utilizes Bluebeam Revu in its’ electronic plan review process. Several of our clients use permit tracking
software such as TRAKiT or Energov and we are proficient in the use of those software platforms as well. We will
coordinate our review services with the City’s permit tracking system. Throughout the plan check process,
Willdan will be available to meet with City Staff and/or the developers’ consultant with 48 hours advance notice.
Willdan Engineering Proposal for
On-Call Plan Check Services

City of La Quinta
Willdan understands that adherence to plan review turnaround times is of paramount importance. We are fully
committed to meeting the City’s following turn around review times:
Willdan will utilize the City provided Review checklists for Precise Grading, CIP, ADA, Tract Maps and/or tailor one
for our in-house checklists as directed. For WQMP reviews, Exhibit F of the Technical Guidance Documents will be
filled out for each review and once completed sent over with the final documents. We routinely utilize check lists
to track the completion of the various plan check requirements. They promote consistency in reviews and can be
used in-house only or distributed to the City and applicant as directed.
Responsiveness to City Staff and Project Requirements
Willdan’s approach to facilitating the plan check process includes:
Review of Improvement Plans
Since projects with their location environments and conditions can and do vary considerably, the presentation of a
single sequential outline of activities to be undertaken would be inadequate. Conversely, the attempt to describe
varying project type staffing assignments, actions to complete objectives and approval recommendations would be
more complex and may not provide the clarity we understand to be requested here. Hence the following
descriptions of typical review content and the sequential review actions, that may or may not apply to every
project, are presented to link with our team qualifications as an assurance of our knowledge and capabilities to
perform what is necessary and requested in the City’s RFP.
Improvement Plan package reviews will typically include: grading plans, geotechnical reports, preliminary drainage
studies, street and drainage plans, hydrology and hydraulic studies, FEMA requirements, SWPPP requirements,
sewer and water plans, WQMP’s, design connections to existing systems, landscape and irrigation, bridges and
structures, traffic signal and signing and striping plans, park facilities, and engineer’s estimates.
Typically, many of the following tasks are part of a project review:
Following receipt of the complete review submittal material and initial familiarization of the project, a
field review utilizing available satellite aerial imagery will be performed or possibly an actual in-field site
visit may be performed to further familiarize the plan reviewer with the existing conditions. If appropriate
digital photos will be taken while on site for record and reference purposes.
Timely technical reviews
of complete plans and
reports to help control
cost and meet schedules.
This avoids delays and
added costs that result in
incorrect review package
submittals.
Record keeping utilizing
in-house tracking
software, digital files, plan
check mark-ups and
reference materials while
logged in the City tracking
system is part of our
facilitating process.
Communication between
the plan reviewer(s) and
the Engineer of Record
facilitates issue resolution
and will be done through
phone calls, e-mails, and
teleconference meetings
to facilitate reviews.
Keeping the City and
others informed through
CCs of Review Matrix, e-
mails, phone calls,
tracking logs, and City
tracking system will be
given priority by our team
members.

NPDES/Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans
Since the adoption of the first municipal NPDES Permit for Los Angeles County in June 1990, Willdan has
provided professional permit and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) management and review services for
many municipalities. The following are various levels of services Willdan provides to its clients:
Program Management – When called upon for help with NPDES Programs, the majority of Willdan’s clients
rely on the firm for full permit and TMDL program management services. This typically includes the preparation of
fiscal year budgets, reports, and presentations to city staff and city council; preparation of annual reports and
presentations to regulators; development and management of service contracts, multiagency agreements, and
compliance programs; coordination with watershed partners, regulators and at times non-governmental
organizations and managing city service personnel.
Full/Partial Minimum Control Measure (MCM) Implementation – Using a full range of administrative and field
activities, Willdan has experience ensuring compliance with the Municipal NPDES Permit – Stormwater
Management Minimum Control Measures. This includes compliance activities associated with public information
and public participation, industrial/commercial (I/C) facilities, planning and land development, development
construction, public agency activities, and illicit discharge/illicit connection management. We also augment our
clients existing resources, as well as train city staff to take over NPDES Permit requirements such as inspections or
the entire compliance program.
Development Plan Review Services – As part of the project development review process required by past
Municipal NPDES Permits as well as the current Permit, Willdan provides professional engineering related review
services for public and private projects subject to the conditioning and approval for design and implementation of
stormwater mitigation measures. This includes Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) and Low Impact
Development (LID) standards for new development, redevelopment, and SWPPP for compliance with the State’s
General Permit for construction activities. As a result, Willdan has a comprehensive understanding of proper site
design, source control measures and the ability to implement appropriate best management practices (BMPs).
Watershed Management Plan/Program Group Representation – Willdan has in-depth knowledge of the
development and implementation of Watershed Management Programs (WMP). Throughout Willdan’s
participation in multiple WMP groups, our staff has negotiated multiagency contracts and agreements, actively
participated in the development process of the WMP and its Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP)
and has collaborated and participated in meetings with group partners and Regional Water Quality Control Board
(Regional Board) staff. In addition, Willdan has assisted in the development of presentations to the Regional Board,
multiagency agreements, CIMP implementation, and multiagency cost-sharing formulas.
TMDL Programs and Studies – From the review of Regional Board developed draft Basin Plan Amendments to
addressing TMDL requirements, Willdan has years of experience. Quite often Willdan finds itself representing
multiple clients with a common interest in the same watershed. These situations provide opportunities for our
firm to take on lead watershed roles for the betterment of its clients, especially concerning TMDLs. Another
example is a project Willdan designed, managed, and inspected installation of Connector Pipe Screens and
Automatic Retractable Screens full capture devices for more the 20 municipal clients in southern California putting
those clients ahead of the regulatory curve on the State’s Trash Policy and TMDLs.

Outline of Quality Assurance Program
Many of the Willdan Team members have performed plan and document review services for cities relative to
public facilities and building development in the past decade and are doing so currently.
In accomplishing development application/permit reviews, our team members have developed a proven approach
to the plan review process that includes organization and documentation, matching staff to assignments and
partnering with appropriate sub-consultants (when needed), applicant’s consultants, and the client agency to help
deliver a successful project. A successful project application review begins with the submittal of a complete
improvement plan review package of relevant materials, including the project conditions of approval or
compliance matrices, required regulatory submittals, all related improvement design plans, along with the
accompanying subdivision maps and technical reports to the City offices. (It is vital that the submittal packages
received are complete and contain all of the necessary reference materials to facilitate a thorough and timely
plan/document review).
Once a complete project review package of materials is assigned to our Willdan team members, we will promptly
undertake the review process. If incomplete submittals are received, the City will be notified immediately to avoid
wasting review time and fees. Notations of incomplete submittals will be done by listing identified submittal
deficiencies for the involved parties’ reference and use. Once the submittal content is complete, checking will be
resumed. At that point, we will do our best to keep the resumed plan review process on the revised time track.
Willdan’s Project Manager will be the first point of contact in our review team for each submittal and
correspondence. Other submittal review recipients will be established and contacted during the submittal review,
as necessary. This step will be part of expediting the assigned project distribution and return for best
effectiveness.
As the plan review is begun, our staff will utilize the various City plan review checklists to maintain compliance with
the City standards, conditions of approval, and established practice. As required, Willdan will review the project
materials received and record the review comments on a comments matrix and provide appropriate ‘red-lined’
notations on the reviewed documents. Willdan reviewers have been trained to provide clear and concise
comments that have specific standard references to avoid any confusion.
A typical plan check comment might be: “The project proposes 8” curb and gutter on Alpha Street. The plans show
18” gutter pan. Revise the gutter pan to be 24” to be in conformance with City Standard Plan No. 120.” Upon
receiving the comment, the applicant knows exactly what to do per each specific standard.
This procedure will be followed in subsequent second and third review rechecks and will be accomplished within
the applicable plan review turn-around time frames. Corrective comments will accompany each review check,
with a recommendation for approval where applicable at the end of the third (3rd) review. Willdan’s QA program
is broken into four major phases, as outlined below.
