a. Peer Review This review is performed by members of the Project Team as the work progresses. Prior to the start of any design work, an analysis is made to determine the technical requirements, the needs and requirements of the Client, jurisdictional requirements, and any fiscal constraints or schedule requirements of the Project. • At this time, specific quality control requirements and internal review procedures are established for the Project. The quality control requirements usually include the following: Analyzing design requirements and assigning work tasks to specific design or drafting staff. Conducted by personnel of equal or higher classification than the Staff accomplishing the work. 4 Establish internal review procedures. All designs are reviewed by members of the Design Team. Review of work, both completed tasks and those tasks in progress. The City of Santa Ana is encouraged to be involved in the QA/QC process. PENCO Engineering, Inc. will maintain regular contact with City Staff and will schedule project status meetings to insure that the project objectives are met to the City's satisfaction. b. Independent Review This review is conducted at various times by design personnel who are outside of the regular Project Design Team. In addition to the peer review, a detailed review of project work products will also be performed. This process involves the assignment of senior personnel, including Principals of the Team member firms, to perform detailed, independent reviews of the work being performed on the Project. The selection of senior personnel for this task is based on professional expertise, specific knowledge of similar projects, and years of experience. • Minimally, the detail reviewer's responsibility will include: 4 Evaluation of the overall project concept. Verification of the adequacy of the design to achieve the project goals. Evaluation of possible design alternatives. Recommendations made by the independent reviewer are made directly to the Project Manager, who has the responsibility to evaluate the recommendations and implement changes as required. 4. Project Kesearck: a. Field Review PENCO Engineering, Inc.'s Team will conduct a walk-through of the Project site with the City of Santa Ana staff to assess existing field conditions such as existing improvements, drainage and utilities which may affect the final design. b. Record Review PENCO Engineering, Inc.'s staff will review all available record data in the City of Santa Ana's files. Items such as improvement plans, drainage studies, topographic and right-of-way maps, etc., will be collected and reviewed for use in determining existing constraints for design of the project. 5. Prepare Field Survey PENCO Engineering, Inc. will research records to obtain horizontal and vertical control information throughout the Project site and generate precise field topographic surveys as needed. PENCO Engineering, Inc.'s Survey Crew will use the City of Santa Ana's horizontal and vertical control using NAD 83 datum to establish locations for the Project such as: ■ Major intersection monuments ■ Roadway centerline, driveway centerlines, pavement markings and striping, water valves, sanitary and storm manholes, catch basins, utility vaults, utility poles and guy wires, landscaping, fire hydrants and other features identified during the field review will be field surveyed. 6. Right -of W-4 Documents: In the event that the City of Santa Ana or PENCO Engineering, Inc. identifies the need for additional right-of-way, PENCO Engineering, Inc. will prepare legal description and plats for the right-of-way needed to complete the Project assigned. In addition, the preparation of the needed legals and Plats PENCO Engineering, Inc.'s staff will be available to assist the City of Santa Ana in meeting with the affected property owners to obtain/ negotiate the right-of-way needed. 7. Prepare Base Plan: PENCO Engineering, Inc. using the information obtained from our Survey Crew will prepare base maps for design use at 1"- 20' scale. Verification of consistency with existing conditions will be established during the site walk. All topographic features located in the field will have horizontal and vertical coordinates, including text descriptions. 7
