Understanding of Need/Schedule of Delivery <br />Project Understanding <br />The City of Santa Ana (City) is seeking an engineering <br />consultant to provide complete plan check services <br />on an on -call, as needed basis. The services include <br />review of civil related improvement plans, studies, and <br />reports, including grading, sewer, storm drain, water <br />quality management plans (WQMP), drainage, and <br />erosion control. <br />We have built our team around the understanding <br />that plan check services should be provided by or <br />under the responsible charge of a California Licensed <br />Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor. <br />Our team's plan check experience includes rough <br />grading, precise grading, hydrology and hydraulics, <br />street improvements, street lighting, erosion control, <br />WQMP, survey maps and easement plans, lot line <br />adjustments, utility easements, and map recordation. <br />We've developed a comprehensive and dynamic <br />program to successfully deliver on -call plan checking <br />review services for our clients. We understand <br />the importance of proactive communication, <br />responsiveness, and flexibility. We are accustomed to <br />being ready when called upon for specific assignments <br />to meet your expectations. Our team has the proven <br />ability to streamline the plan check review process <br />based on the systems and templates we've created <br />(such as our plan check log [Figure 1.j) to confirm <br />quality and promptness. Cannon is strongly committed <br />to serving our clients by truly listening to their project <br />objectives, producing quality work, and completing plan <br />check reviews on time or early, and within budget. <br />Figure 1. Sample of Cannon Plan Check Log <br />Approach <br />Cannon's approach to provide plan check and map <br />check services to the City includes the following key <br />components: <br />• Communication Strategy <br />• Experienced Plan Check Team <br />• Plan Check Conformance <br />• Facilitating the Plan Check Process <br />• Electronic Development Plan Checking <br />• Record Keeping and Reporting <br />• Turnaround Time <br />Communication Strategy <br />At the top of this list of key components that will lead <br />to project success is effective communication between <br />our internal review team and the City's Project Manager <br />and Staff. This will confirm we provide the City with <br />the support they are looking for to reduce the impact <br />to politically sensitive areas or disruption to the public. <br />The closest possible rapport will be developed with the <br />City's Project Manager to understand special budget <br />constraints, time schedules, and associated impacts. <br />By building on excellent communications, we will more <br />easily define problem areas, technical requirements, <br />and facilitate a smoother plan check review and <br />approval process. <br />Experienced Plan Check Team <br />Within our highly skilled staff of engineers, project <br />managers, quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) <br />team, and constructability reviewers are personnel <br />that take their chosen profession very seriously. This <br />team strives for the highest quality of service for each <br />project review. Because our plan check engineers <br />have extensive design experience using local, regional, <br />and other applicable design standards on a day-to- <br />day basis, we can confirm the improvement plans and <br />associated reports and documents will meet the current <br />applicable codes and standards. <br />We have also structured our team to have flexibility <br />with meeting varying workload sizes. In addition to <br />our key personnel, Cannon is home to comprehensive <br />engineering staff who are ready to commence project <br />work immediately, should the need arise. We can meet <br />short-term workload needs by temporarily bringing in <br />other personnel and, with the City's approval, meet <br />
