4 <br />NZIMUM <br />Exhibit A <br />Scope of Work <br />Plan Review <br />When notified by the jurisdiction, Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. (BVNA) shall perform plan review services. <br />Plan review services shall consist of the review of plans and documents for compliance with jurisdiction adopted <br />or enforced codes and regulations. Plan review services will be provided in accordance with accepted standards <br />of practice for governmental plan review and in conformance with the policies, procedures, interpretations, and <br />practices of the jurisdiction. <br />Plan review services covered under this agreement will be performed in the offices of BVNA, unless otherwise <br />authorized by the jurisdiction. Plan review can be provided as full review, partial review, or discipline specific, as <br />requested by the jurisdiction for each project. <br />Plan review services may include the review of: <br />Non-structural fire and life safety plans examination <br />Structural plans examination <br />Electrical, mechanical, & plumbing code plans examination <br />Disabled access code plans examination <br />Green building code plans examination <br />Energy code plans examination <br />Fire sprinkler and alarm plans examination <br />Fire code compliance <br />Plan review services shall be identified in the project task order and corresponding rate schedule. Additional <br />services can be negotiated between BVNA and the jurisdiction, if needed. <br />If corrections are required, BVNA will prepare comment or correction letters. The correction letter shall describe <br />each required correction or addition, and reference the applicable code section. Letters will be distributed as <br />directed by the jurisdiction. <br />If plans are recommended for approval, BVNA shall transmit to the jurisdiction the required number of sets of <br />plans and associated documents with the plans stamped `Reviewed for Code Compliance" to indicate that the <br />plans have been reviewed by BVNA and found to be in substantial compliance with applicable codes. <br />Electronic Plan Review <br />At the request of the jurisdiction, BVNA can provide electronic plan reviews. BVNA can utilize the system preferred <br />by the jurisdiction, or can provide electronic review simply using PDF software. <br />Third Party Review <br />This is an optional method to accomplish the plan review for applicants that desire preliminary plan reviews or <br />have expediting needs due to project time constraints. <br />This method allows the designer to work with plan review staff early in the design process to avoid code problems <br />that could lead to extensive redesign of completed plans. It also allows the permit applicant to pay for review <br />services directly to BVNA, independent of the normal jurisdiction plan review fee. <br />Move Forward with Confidence <br />
