as amended by Los Angeles County. HCI will also be required to provide all the necessary

County Codes and will be required to attend the City Council meeting for said items.
HCI staff will interface with permit applicants; staff the public counter during City Hall
hours of operation and provide off hour inspection services as requested; provide problem

will also provide inspection services for special projects as determined by the City Manager.
The City uses the 1-OL permit system to input permits which HCI will as well. HCI
staff will either already know the system or will make sure to learn to use the system quickly.
Based upon the provided average monthly permits activity over the three fiscal years
and in conversing with the City, HCI proposes a Building Official, one Counter Technician and
two full time Building Inspectors to serve the Building & Safety Division. The Building
Official will also act as a plan checker during the required 7:OOam to 10:OOam and 5:00pm to
6:OOpm hours. Any adjustment to Building and Safety staff will be done in full consultation
with the City.
3. Work Plan:
HCI will work with the current Consultant to make sure there is a smooth transition.
HCI proposes the Building Official to provide plan check services at the counter during the
required hours of 7:00am to 10:00am and from 5:00pm to 6:00pm. The Counter Technician
will be available at the public counter to provide general information and assistance at the
counter and take in plans for plan check. Large plans that cannot be checked over the counter
during the hours indicated above will be taken in by the Counter Technician and transported to
HCI to be checked by its plan check staff. All transportation of plans will be done at NCI's
expense via UPS, FedEx. The two Building Inspectors proposed will do inspections between
8am and 5pm which answering phone calls and doing office work between lam and 8am and

Plan check time frames shall be as follows:
TYPE OF JOB TURN AROUND TIME- TURN AROUND TIME

Accelerated or expedited plan check will be provided at a higher percentage rate of the City's fee
or on an hourly basis, depending upon the case (see 8. Compensation).
The feedback we have received from all jurisdictions we serve is that our plan-check turn-
around time is routinely significantly shorter than their prior experience with other
consultants. It will, therefore, be our goal to provide quick turn-around for all plan checks
for the City of Rosemead and ensure the highest level of`Customer Service'.
All inspection will be endeavored to be performed on a 1-day notice basis, unless the inspection
load doesn't permit it, in which case the inspection will be provided the following day.
Inspection requests can be left via voicemail or taken down during the day by Building Safety
staff If specific inspection times are requested for a sound reason or on an emergency basis,
the Inspector will does his/her best to provide the inspection at the requested time.
5. Firm Qualifications:
HCI maintains a staff of competent professionals capable of providing competent Building
Official, Plan Check, Building Inspection and Public Works Inspection services. HCI has the
staff capable of making complex code interpretations and decisions affecting the life, safety and
welfare of the public. HCI has the personnel to provide high quality building plan review and

codes, including the California Building Code, California Residential Code, California
Mechanical Code, California Electrical Code, California Plumbing Code, California Green

HCI will take an integrated approach to make sure that any potential delays are caught early by
coordinating with all parties concerned and extra effort will be made to make sure that the
project is delivered on time and without additional cost to the City.
To further demonstrate our professional services proficiency, we would like to mention that

Quality Assurance Program:
HCI has exceptionally strong commitment to not only keeping abreast but looking ahead in
upgrading our code and technical knowledge as also the latest developments in construction
technologies that can impact plan review in consultation with the governing jurisdiction /
authority. The following three pronged approach is used:
1. Code Changes and New Code Cycles:
Our plan checkers keep abreast of all amendments and changes to codes by
attending seminars and educational courses.
2. Developing Technologies:
Our plan checkers keep up with developing technologies by reviewing
engineering journals and attending seminars given by the construction industry.
As an example we always ensure that our plan checkers attend CALBO & ICC
seminars to refresh and update their professional knowledge.
3. Sharing of Code Questions & Interpretations:
During ongoing plan checks, code questions and interpretations are promptly
shared and discussed among all the plan checkers and inspectors. This ensures
that all staff members are kept aware of anything new or unique.

plan checks performed by others (including `Big-Name' consultants) where we
found serious mistakes /omissions. In one instance a consulting company plan
checked and approved I I dead-end corridors in a high rise office building. In
another instance use of residential sprinklers was approved for a hotel project even
after sprinklers were used for building area increase.
ii. FAST TURN AROUND: Our plan check turnaround is the fastest in the
industry.
iii. VERY COST EFFECTIVE: The City and community of Rosemead will see
substantial cost savings as a result of our much low fee structure.
At HCI we are strongly committed to customer service and will take all necessary measures to
ensure professional and high quality Building Inspection and Plan Check Services to the full
satisfaction of the City of Rosemead. We are very confident that if again given the opportunity
to serve City of Rosemead, we will live up to your expectations and fully comply with your
