WORK PLAN TRANSTECII 3.WORK PLAN Page 3.1 TRANSITION FROM CURRENT CONSULTANT We have completed several similar service transitions, and will be able to minimize any inconveniences. We do not see a need for an extensive overlapping work period with the current consultant. Our staff has done similar transitions before, and can handle any open issues left from the current consultant. The "overlapping work period" would only increase the City's cost on staff time. Our expectation is to review the project files and address status of current/open plan checks and projects and priority issues for transition. Upon this review and de-briefing from the current contractor, the Transtech team will immediately assume the positions to maintain and improve the current status of the assigned responsibilities. Plan Check Transition: If the current consultant has already started the plan check for a project, and already collected the fee for that plan check,the City would have 2 options: Option 1: Allow current consultant to complete the plan check;or Option 2: Request the current consultant to return a portion of the plan check fee proportionate to the level of plan check completion, and the new consultant completes the plan check with an hourly fee. After the review of status of current open plan checks, we will advise the City with an appropriate option accordingly. Inspection Transition: If the current consultant has already started the inspection for a project, and already collected the fee for that inspection,the City would have 2 options: Option 1: Allow current consultant to complete the inspection; or Option 2: The new consultant completes the inspection. After the review of status of current open inspections, we will advise the City with an appropriate option accordingly. In summary, we can take over all plan checks and inspections from current consultant immediately. After meeting with the current consultant and obtaining the list of open plan checks and inspections, we will advise the City the level of completion on open plan checks and inspections. The City can work out any fee issues with the current consultant for work not completed, but fees collected accordingly. SCOPE OF SERVICES Scope of Services will be provided as specified in City's RFP, Exhibit A-Scope of Services,which states: 1.
