Code Notes: City of La Quinta On -Call Building Plan Review and Inspection Services May 22, 2026 • Compensation is based on experience and agreement between the City and VCA prior to start of work. • Overtime is charged at 1.5x the hourly rate (applies for work billed hourly that exceeds 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week). • VCA may charge a 2-hour minimum for work and meetings. • Rates are subject to annual CPI adjustment with City approval. Plan Review completed off site (from the City offices) can be billed either hourly or by percentage of fee that the City charges. Most prefer a percentage fee as it guarantees that the City will retain at least a portion of the fee for each project and simplifies the budgeting process. For a percentage of the Plan Review fee, VCA provides three plan reviews and no charge for pick- up/delivery of paper plans. Also, VCA provides an expedited plan review service that is very advantageous to the City. VCA is glad to discuss these services and is flexible with either approach. Our rate structure is designed to provide the City with flexibility depending on changing needs. We are open to discussing our fee schedule and working with the City to find a mutually beneficial solution. Pricing List VCA Code 1 1845 W.

Our goal is to work seamlessly with the City as an extension of its staff. Consistent Staff Augmentation Services: With their insight into the industry landscape, our professional recruiters are well-equipped and dedicated to providing personnel with the experience levels and skills requested by the City. We uniquely offer the resources of a staffing agency coupled with expertise in the trade, allowing us to curate the best "fit" candidates. We are committed to providing quality On -Call Building Plan Review and Inspection Services personnel. 1. Clear Understanding of Needs: Upon contract commencement, VCA's Director of Staffing, Rick Bergin, will connect with the City's point of contact to establish current and future needs. VCA's Staffing Division strategically maintains a pool of qualified professionals to staff municipalities as needed. By leveraging our team's expertise, the City will have access to not only qualified candidates for the initial scope, but also ongoing assistance in evolving staffing and recruiting needs. 2. Expert Recruiting: Our professional recruiters are highly experienced in attracting and selecting candidates and maintaining a pipeline of qualified contract staff by keeping consistent communication with past and potential candidates. We have access to a multitude of hiring resources and connections to sustain demand. Our Staffing Division meets weekly to go over requests and monitor progress to avoid delays and swiftly handle all requests. 3. Comprehensive Screening: VCA complies with all State and Federal employment laws. We meet with candidates to gauge work ethic and evaluate their knowledge and skills. After our initial screening, we provide relevant resumes to the City for interviews and approval. VCA also confirms certifications/licenses, runs required background checks, and/or coordinates with the City's live scan process. We will adhere to all requirements. 4. Consistent Staffing: Once a candidate is selected by the City, VCA manages the onboarding process for a smooth transition. Should any personnel be absent or get reassigned, we will present the resumes of highly qualified replacements for affected functions. Because VCA employs expert recruiters, we are able to minimize turnaround time without cutting corners. 5.

Confirm applicable codes, amendments, policies, and procedures; c. Discuss key concerns related to applicants; d. Establish ongoing operating procedures between the City and VCA; e. Attend meetings with project representatives as -needed to address questions 2. Beginning with the End in Mind: VCA employs a full-time Plan Review Client Services Manager, Ms. Yolanda Huerta, and coordination staff. A 25-year veteran Permit Technician, Ms. Huerta opens each set of plans to review for completeness. If portions are missing, she immediately notifies the client. Each plan is entered into our proprietary plan tracking system by our Plan Review technicians and assigned to a plans examiner. 3. Consistent Corrections & Rechecks: Each client is assigned a Lead Plan Reviewer to understand that Client's nuances and create a template approved by the City. The Lead performs most of that Client's Plan Review work and also trains others to maintain uniformity not only amongst themselves, but also with the City. With this system, we consistently write corrections that only the City would write. For rechecks, plans are given to the original plans examiner to save time and money in approving corrections, expedite the review process, and keep conversations with applicants concise. 4. Plan Transmittal Your Way: We are happy to transport plans however the City wants whether it's through the City portal, email, SharePoint, ProjectDox, ShareFile, Dropbox, mail courier, etc. Our team's technological competence has in the past facilitated the transition from paper to digital plans for our clients. We understand the importance of speed and convenience, and our expertise in electronic plan transmittal and plan review will accelerate this process for the City.

As a leader in bringing thoughtful industry solutions to the government sphere, VCA Code's President, Bob Heinrich, crafted this proprietary system to help cities: • Eliminate complaints to government leadership, especially on politicized projects • Remove complaints related to turnaround times because customer selects their timeframes • Relieve staff burden because the customer works directly with VCA • Avoid issues with fees because the applicant chooses their own fee amount • Retain higher percentage of the fee and allow additional resources for the City's usage We are the only consultant with experience in the successful implementation of this service that benefits all parties involved.
