CC - Item 5B - Selection of a Building and Safety Division ContractorROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 28, 2015 SUBJECT: SELECTION OF A BUILDING & SAFETY. DIVISION CONTRACTOR SUMMARY On October 28, 2014, the City Council directed staff to solicit proposals for the administration and operation of the Building & Safety Division for the City. The City's current agreement (with Willdan) for this service will expire on June 30, 2015. The scope of work includes providing building inspection and plan check services. Request for Proposals (RFPs) were distributed on November 10, 2014. Six (6) contractor proposals were received on December 8, 2014. Consistent with past practice for review of RFP's of this nature, a staff evaluation committee was formed to review the proposals. The committee thoroughly reviewed the proposals in accordance with the scope of services outlined in the RFP. Of the six (6) competing firms, four (4) of the companies were invited to a formal interview with City staff. Based on these interviews, a RFP addendum was distributed to the four (4) firms clarifying the services the contractor would be expected to perform on the City's behalf. After careful consideration of each company's proposal including consistency with the RFP and interview with staff evaluation committee, the consensus of opinion is that entering into a new contract with Willdan would be the best course of action for the City at this time. This conclusion is based on Willdan's demonstrated community satisfaction with its customer service, corporate resources, competence, and a proposed reduction in the percentage of revenues retained by the company as compensation. Staff Recommendation . It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a new three (3) year agreement with Willdan with the option to extend the agreement for up to two (2) additional years, consistent with the City's purchasing policy. BACKGROUND For the past 33, years, the City of Rosemead's building inspection and plan check services have been provided by Willdan and their current agreement will expire on June 30, 2015. Through this agreement, Willdan currently retains 70% of building permit fees and 60% of plan check fees collected as their compensation for services. The scope of ITEM NUMBER: City Council Report April 28, 2015 Page 2 of 5 services in the most recent RFP was written to ensure the City of Rosemead would continue to receive services based on an all- inclusive percentage compensation fee only, with no additional fees to be charged by the consultant. To ensure that a high standard of service is maintained, specifications for building inspection and plan check services were detailed in the RFP and follow -up addendum. Terms in the RFP and addendum included such things as the minimum number of full time staff that must be assigned to the City, and the required: hours of counter coverage, knowledge of technology used by the City of Rosemead, and reporting requirements. The proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on a list of criteria to determine each company's ability to meet the City's Building & Safety needs in two areas: (1) building inspection services, and (2) plan check services. Categories were: A) staff qualifications, B) experience with an HdL software system, the City's current software, C) inspectors' certifications, D) ability to provide onsite plan check review, E) ability to provide expedited plan checks, F) cost of services (based on an all- inclusive percentage split of revenues or compensation with no additional fees charged to the City), G) ability to meet turn - around time frames, and H) overall customer service, as determined through interviews and company references. On November 10, 2014, the RFP was posted on the City's website as well as distributed to six (6) prospective firms. Proposals were due to the City Clerk's Office by December 8, 2014. Prior to this deadline, the City received six (6) proposals for building inspection and plan check services from the following firms: • Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. • CSG Consultants, Inc. • Hayer Consultants, Inc. • Infrastructure Engineers • Transtech Engineers, Inc. • Willdan After careful review of each proposal, four (4) firms were selected for interviews based on their qualifications and fee proposal. Only one (1) firm (Willdan) followed the direction in the RFP to provide an all - inclusive percentage -based split of revenues as compensation with no additional fees to be charged to the City. On February 2, 2015, an addendum to the RFP was issued to the four (4) firms following the interviews to clarify the services to be provided by the firm and to provide an opportunity to update their proposed percentage spilt of revenues, if necessary. Responses to the RFP addendum produces the proposed percentage split of revenues as follows: City Council Report April 28, 2015 Page 3 of 5 Building and Safety RFP Company Building Inspection Consultant IF Services City Plan Check Consultant Services F Cit Charles Abbott 60% 40% 50% 50% Infrastructure 59% 41% 58% 42% Transtech 51% 49% 51% 49% Willdan 60% 40% 55% 45% While Willdan was not the lowest cost bid, the staff evaluation committee unanimously agreed that it is the City's best option due to demonstrated community satisfaction with its customer service, corporate resources and competence, and a proposed reduction in fees charged to the City (10% reduction in building inspection services and a 5 % reduction in plan check services). EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES OF PROPOSALS Charles Abbott Associates (CAA) — Since 1984, CAA has been providing a growing number of cities with Building Services. They provide building inspection and plan check services to a number of cities, including one city in the San Gabriel Valley (City of Duarte). CAA did not provide an all - inclusive compensation fee schedule in their initial proposal as had been requested in the RFP. In addition to their proposed percentage split of revenues, CAA confirmed during their interview that additional hourly fees would be charged for plan checks after the third review, no -fee and City projects, and expedited plan checks. Additionally, they have very little experience with the HdL software system used by the City. The lack of knowledge and proficient use of this software could lead to delays in the issuance of building permits, logging of inspections, and the running of required /needed reports. CAA provided a revised all- inclusive fee proposal in compliance with the City's issued addendum. Infrastructure Engineers — Since 1994, Infrastructure Engineers (formerly known as AAE, Inc.) has been providing City engineering as well as building and safety services to cities. They currently provide building inspection and plan check services to a number of cities including providing a part-time on -call Building Official to the City of Montebello. Infrastructure did not provide an all- inclusive percentage -based fee schedule compensation in their initial proposal as had been specified in the RFP. In addition to their percentage split of revenues scheduled they stated that additional hourly fees would be charged for plan check reviews after the second review as well as for the pick -up and delivery of those plans, weekend /holiday /after work hours, no -fee and City projects, specialized fields of plan check reviews, and expedited plan checks. In addition, only the proposed onsite Permit Technician has experience with the HdL software system used by the City. Infrastructure provided a revised all- inclusive proposal for. a percentage split of revenues in compliance with the City's issued addendum to the RFP. City Council Report April 28, 2015 Page 4 of 5 Transtech — Established in 1989, Transtech is a multi - disciplinary engineering consulting firm that provides full contract municipal engineering services to local agencies. They currently provide building inspection and plan check services to a number of cities including the neighboring cities of Temple City, Alhambra, and Monterey Park.' Transtech did not provide an all - inclusive percentage -based compensation fee schedule in their initial proposal as had been requested in the RFP. In addition to their proposed percentage fee schedule, they stated that additional hourly fees would be charged for certain services. During the interview, Transtech confirmed that additional fees based on hourly rates would be charged to the City for "certain services ", i.e. plan checks after the second review, weekend /holiday /after work hours, no -fee and City projects, and specialized fields of plan check reviews. When the addendum was issued to clarify and re -state the City's intention to have all - inclusive services with no additional fees, Transtech provided a letter (in addition to the addendum) that again suggested that they may not fully understand the scope of services, which also led, to staff's doubt as to whether Transtech is proposing an all - inclusive percentage -based split of revenues with no additional fees charged to the City. As a result, additional follow -up and clarification was needed. There is also concern that Transtech may not provide the dedicated assigned staff that would be required to match the level of service provided by the existing consultant. According to statements during their interview, they proposed to share personnel resources with neighboring cities, rather than provide the desired assigned staff as specified in the RFP and RFP addendum. In addition, their lack of attentiveness to these details in the RFP and RFP addendum is concerning, and provides some insight into their potential working relations with the public. Additionally, Transtech has no experience with the HdL software system used by the City. The lack of knowledge and proficient use of this software could lead to delays in the issuance of building permits, logging of inspections, and the running of required /needed reports. Willdan — Founded in 1964, Willdan Group, Inc. provides a range of professional technical and consulting services. This is a publicly traded company providing nationwide services in a variety of fields. They currently provide building inspection and plan check services to a number of cities including the neighboring cities of El Monte, La Puente, and Sierra Madre. As Rosemead's current building and plan check services contractor, Willdan has provided this service to the community for 33 years. They were the only firm to submit an all - inclusive proposal for a percentage split of revenues with no additional fees from the onset, which includes a 10% reduction in the percentage split of revenues building inspection services and a 5% reduction in the percentage split of revenues plan check services. Willdan has demonstrated significant involvement in community programs and events. Given Willdan's track record with the City, the City can be assured that it will not have any unexpected fees associated with building and planning services which will help insure the same level of service at no cost to the City. Staff has first -hand knowledge of the Willdan employees' willingness and ability to provide services to the Rosemead City Council Report April 28, 2015 Page 5 of 5 community, and developers working within this community outside of normal City hours (before and after work hours and weekend hours), again at no additional cost to the City. After a recent emergency/disaster incident, when an evening explosion occurred in an apartment complex, Willdan staff responded without direction from the City and without submitting a request for additional compensation. During the past several years, numerous compliments have been received from residents and developers regarding the customer service provided by the Willdan staff. Moreover, Building Official James Donovan has served in his capacity with the City of Rosemead for 14 years. During this tenure, positive relationships and significant institutional knowledge have been forged resulting in a high quality of service to the community. In consideration of Willdan's comprehensive proposal, their longstanding relationships with the City and the community, satisfaction with customer service, and a 10% reduction in its share of building inspection fee revenues and 5% reduction in its share of plan check fee revenues, the staff evaluation committee believes they are the best fit for the City and our community. CONCLUSION Based on the above discussion, staff is recommending that the City Council award a contract to Willdan to continue providing Building & Safety to the City. It is the unanimous opinion of staff that a change of consultants for building inspection - and plan check services at this time would result in an undue disruption within the organization and services to the community. Moreover, it is staff's opinion that a change in contractors at this critical juncture could negatively impact the economic development momentum that the City is experiencing with many development projects currently in progress and in the planning stages. Although revenues and costs to the City is often the most important consideration in its decisions, in the present case it is more important to consider the competency and exemplary services that have been proven over time.

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. General Consultant shall provide building and safety services as requested by the City. Such services shall include enforcement of the City's building laws and codes. Such enforcement shall include the duties set forth in the ordinance of the City for the Building Official and, in the performance of such work, the officials, plan reviewers and building inspectors of Consultant shall have the powers, duties and discretion of Building Official of the City.

Valley Boulevard Rosemead, CA 91770 Subject: Request for Proposal No. 2014 -12 Building Inspection and Plan Check Services Dear Ms. Molleda: Willdan Engineering is pleased to present this proposal to the City of Rosemead to continue to provide building and safety services to the City. While Willdan has been a consistent industry leader for 50 years — providing all aspects of municipal and infrastructure engineering, including building and safety, public works, public financing, planning, and construction management services —it has been a special pleasure to serve the City of Rosemead. We want to thank the City for this unmatched opportunity to serve the City, and for the opportunity to continue to serve the City for years to come. We present our exceptional services in the proposal, and summarize below the reasons why Willdan is uniquely qualified to provide these services to the City of Rosemead. Knowledge of the City— Our team members have provided building and safety services to numerous California municipalities. Willdan has been providing services to the City of Rosemead for more than 33 years, and our staff has extensive experience working with the City's procedures and expectations for quality service to the community. Willdan's team will be managed and coordinated through our local full - service City of Industry office, just a 15- minute drive to the City's office — which makes Willdan conveniently located to respond to the City's requests. Our wide - ranging and in -depth knowledge of the City and its procedures has enabled us to provide comprehensive services for every type of permit, from the smallest residential addition to multi -story commercial and mixed -use projects. Electronic Plan Check - Willdan Engineering is expanding and enhancing our electronic plan checking service to the City, which will significantly expedite plan review and reduce shipping and printing costs for the applicant, while promoting a paperless environment. CASp- Certified Inspectors - Willdan Engineering is expanding its staff of CASp - certified inspectors to the City, as required by Senate Bill No. 1608, specifically Chapter 549. Experience with Comparable Engagements - Willdan Engineering specializes in providing professional building and safety, engineering, and planning services to municipalities. The firm has been providing building and safety services to cities and counties on a contract basis since 1979. In addition to serving the City of Rosemead for 33 years, Willdan is serving as Building Official for the cities of Sierra Madre, El Monte and La Puente; and has previously served as Building Official for the cities of Alhambra and South El Monte, the neighboring communities.

In this capacity, we have provided a full range of services including building and safety plan review, permit issuance, inspection and code enforcement. We have tailored our services to meet the specific needs of the City of Rosemead including bi- lingual staff, customer - friendly public counter service, and specific proficiency in complex occupancies such as the Southern California Edison Corporate Headquarters. No Conflict of Interest - Willdan Engineering provides no private sector engineering services; therefore there is no conflict of interest. Disaster Recovery— Willdan Engineering has helped California jurisdictions recover from firestorms, floods, earthquakes and mudslides, including providing recovery services to the City of Rosemead following the Whittier Narrows Earthquake. We stand ready to assist the City in the event of another natural or man -made disaster. We have successfully served the City with technical assistance and strong project management in a professional, efficient and economical manner, and look forward to continuing our long history of service. Please feel free to contact me or Mr. Guerra should you have any questions or require additional information. We are authorized to bind the firm to all commitments made in this proposal, and we look forward to the opportunity to continue to provide Building and Safety services to the City of Rosemead.

With 33 years of experience at the City, we understand the specific needs of the City of Rosemead, as defined in the scope. Besides providing excellent technical service, Willdan incorporates the philosophy that "the Customer always comes first" into our approach and work plan. We have learned many of the specific needs of our multi - cultural citizens and developers, and realize that those needs will continue to change over time, as will our services to the City. Our history of rapid plan check turn - around and next -day inspection services demonstrates our capability to meet the needs of City of Rosemead applicants and permitees. METHODS AND PROCEDURES Willdan brings our specific City experience and companywide technical expertise to evaluating and solving issues. We stress safety, code compliance and — equally important — practical, cost - conscious solutions to complex code issues. We move quickly to evaluate and resolve issues to reduce cost and time lost; always involve the appropriate City personnel in our analysis; and make recommendations for procedural or even code amendments. From our early use of typed correction lists rather than handwritten lists, to faxing and /or emailing correction lists, to procuring and implementing the City's HDL permitting system, to our paperless web -based electronic plan check submittal procedure, Willdan has kept the City's building department on the cutting edge of technology. When issues have arisen, we have always shouldered our responsibility in both time and cost. We will continue to reach out proactively with expedited plan review and /or multiple inspections, even after hours, at no additional cost to the applicants. MANAGEMENT, PERSONNEL AND EXPERIENCE Willdan offers an un- matched combination of superior personnel qualifications, skills, and experience. The Willdan staff assigned directly to the City has over 100 years of combined building and safety experience and has worked for the City an average of 8 years. The staff at our three Southern California offices (Industry, Anaheim and San Bernardino) that provide support to Rosemead have more than 200 years of combined building and safety experience. We have provided Building Official services to 20 Los Angeles County cities alone, including Rosemead, and our references will reflect our solid experience and superior performance. COST RECOVERY Willdan's percent of fee method of providing services guarantees that the City of Rosemead will always receive adequate revenue to cover its cost to administer our contract. The building department has always paid for itself without the use of General Fund revenues. _ City of Rosemead l q WI LLDAN I Building and Safety Services Engineering Page I 1 ■ CITY OF ROSEMEAD ■ ■ ■ ■ ® ■ WILLDAN'S HISTORY OF SERVICE Since 1981, Willdan has provided uninterrupted comprehensive Building and Safety Services to the City of Rosemead. In fact, Willdan has now provided service to the City for over 33 years, longer than the 22 years Los Angeles County provided this service after the City's incorporation in 1959. In addition to our current services as Building Official, City Engineer and City Traffic Engineer, Willdan has provided a full range of municipal consulting services to the City. These services include public works design, construction management and inspection, as- needed planning services, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) administration and loan and grant implementation programs, code enforcement and financial compliance services. As the City transitioned to providing many of these services with City staff, Willdan assisted with the transition and continues to provide these services, when needed, by the City. Willdan offers the City a unique history of innovative, adaptable and responsive service to the needs of the City and its citizens. From the very beginning in 1981, Wilidan has developed an "in house" level of public service, beginning with our public counter service in the City. Over the years, our public counter has evolved from part-time, morning -only services to a 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. full - service public counter. Willdan has expanded its service and hours of operation in response to growing and changing needs of the City. Basically, citizens and permittees can receive building and safety service and information any time that City Hall is open. We never close. Likewise, Willdan is the only City Hall -based service provider in Rosemead that offers services on Friday, to support the City's need to comply with Air Quality Management District (AQMD) requirements by reducing the number of City staff commutes per week. Willdan's willingness to provide service on Friday also facilitated the City's decision to have City Hall employees change to a 4 -10 work week. Thus, the inspection service is available even when City Hall is closed on Fridays. From our initial start of services in 1981, Willdan has provided the transition from County building and safety services, including completing all inspections for permits issued by the County. More importantly, Willdan established the Building Rehabilitation Appeals process that transferred the hearing responsibilities from the Los Angeles County Board (based in downtown Los Angeles), to the City Council hearing the appeals and providing local decisions and direction, based on the needs of the City of Rosemead. Willdan has provided plan check and inspection services for every major private and public development projects in the City including the following: • Double Tree Hotel (formerly the Sheraton) • Southern California Edison GO 4 addition • Southern California Edison GO 5 (formerly Cal Fed) • Rosemead Park Aquatic Center • Garvey Park Aquatic Center In addition to these new buildings, Willdan has provided excellent customer - focused services for numerous new single - family dwellings, multi - family buildings, mixed -use buildings and extensive renovations of all of the major shopping centers in the City. With each of these projects, Willdan provided comprehensive plan review and inspection and, in the case of City -owned projects, often served as the owner's representative for the City. City of Rosemead ` WI LLDAN Building and Safety. Services � _/ Engineering I Page 12 CITY OF ROSEMEAD p ■ During our years of service, Willdan has always provided support when the City needed us. Perhaps no greater need arose than in the aftermath of the 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake. Willdan began its post-earthquake assessment of all damaged public and private buildings immediately, on the day of the earthquake. City Hall was able to reopen almost immediately, based on our evaluation of what was minor structural damage. Our rapid evaluation of buildings throughout the City allowed citizens to quickly re- occupy many buildings that were deemed safe for occupancy. Willdan also joined the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in setting up a post- recovery information and financial assistance center for the citizens of Rosemead. Our service to the City of Rosemead is a source of great pride to Willdan as a company and to our staff, both past and present, who serve the City. We welcome this opportunity to once again demonstrate we are not just a consultant to the City of Rosemead, we are an integral part of the City of Rosemead. T City of Rosemead WI LLDAN I Building and Safety Services Engineering Page 13 CITY OF ROSEMEAD ■ Willdan will require no transitioning if we are awarded this contract. Services will continue without any interruptions or changes of personnel. This work plan discusses our proposed approach and the personnel to provide the following services to the City of Rosemead. Our proven approach is based on 33 years of experience at the City and incorporates features enhancing the efficiency and quality of the following services: • Building Official • Building Plan Review • Electronic Plan Review • Inspection • CASp • Permit Counter Technician A benchmark of our uninterrupted 33 years of service has been excellent customer service. From the early days of transition from Los Angeles County; through the recovery and rebuilding after the Whittier Narrows Earthquake, to both the bust and boom development cycles, to the changing demographics of the City of Rosemead, Willdan has been there to help the citizens of Rosemead. When it comes to serving the residents of the City of Rosemead community, Willdan sees our role as that of facilitator and guide — helping the City's customers in getting through the review, permitting, and inspection process— rather than leaving the applicant in a lurch in obtaining or signing off on permits. We understand that the process of complying with the various codes, standards, regulations and laws can be a formidable and daunting undertaking —for even the most seasoned design or construction professional. Furthermore, an understanding of the complexity associated with processing private development applications and the sometimes competing interests is essential to exceptional customer service. Common sense decision - making and technical analysis in interpreting the intent of regulatory guidelines are significant strengths Willdan staff brings to the City's Building and Safety Division. BUILDING OFFICIAL SERVICES The key individuals in our continued service to the City of Rosemead is our team of building officials, James Donovan, City Building Official and James M. Guerra, Consulting Building Official. Mr. Donovan has over 40 years of building and safety experience including the last 10 years as the Building Official for the City of Rosemead. Mr. Guerra has been with the City since the start of our services in 1981, and provides both continuity and historical reference for all of our services. Their combined hands -on approach is typical of our service to the City. Mr. Donovan has been and will be on -site at the City every day providing the following building official services: • Oversee City Building and Safety staff • Manage and oversee the Building Division • Prepare Conditions of Approval A WILLDAN [_.�_ -�1 Engineering City of Rosemead Building and Safety Services Paine 1 4 ■ CITY OF ROSEMEAD ® ® ■ ■ ■ ■ Y Develop policies and provide policy and procedure recommendations • Interact with customers, City staff and elected officials • Participate in meetings and discussions of the City's Development Review Committee, where professional design opinion, counsel, perspective and recommendations are provided to applicants • Review proposed legislation affecting Building Code enforcement • Arbitrate disputes on code interpretations and resolve the more difficult and complex engineering and code problems • Attend City meetings on an as- needed basis to answer questions and provide testimony on issues pertaining to Building Code laws and regulations • Assist with all necessary administrative duties associated with a Building Division • Prepare codes, ordinances, and staff reports, as well as attend any meetings that may be required BUILDING PLAN REVIEW SERVICES Willdan's plan review team is led by Mr. Steve Widmayer and Mr. Saeed Amirarziz, bringing specific experience and expertise to the City. Our staff has proactively reached out, during our years of plan review, to help applicants with code compliance. While we do not develop the "design" for them, we understand some applicants have difficulty in understanding the code and completing the plan review process. Through our customer - friendly approach to providing this service to the City, we ensure both code compliance and quick resolution of complex code issues. Willdan's experience and strength in providing building and safety services to the City of Rosemead encompasses the complete range of technical disciplines: structural engineering plan check; fire -life safety, electrical, plumbing and mechanical codes; Title 24 codes, as well as local amendments to the adopted codes. We incorporate the California Green Building Standards Code into our standard procedures for building plan review and inspection services. Willdan staff attends classes and seminars on a regular basis to maintain an up -to -date comprehension of all code requirements, at no expense to our clients. All staff maintains both their State of California registration as licensed professionals as well as International Code Council (ICC) Certified Plan Examiners, through attendance in a variety of training classes. As an example, we continue to work and review the many improvements at the Edison Corporate Complex. We have helped Edison with the inherit challenges of making improvements in an unsprinklered 40 +- year -old structure. All building plans are examined for compliance with the adopted version of the California Building Code; California Residential Code; Green Building Standards Code; California Mechanical Code; California Plumbing Code; California Electrical Code; and the Accessibility, Noise and Energy Conservation requirements, as mandated by State Title 24 and all applicable City Ordinances. Plan review for Disabled Access Compliance includes a review of precise grading plans. All plan checks include compliance with code requirements, as well as an overview of the application package for other applicable requirements, such as approvals from other local agencies and districts and coordination with other City departments. All plan review complies with the City's directives, codes and policies. City of Rosemead WI LLDAN I Building and Safety Services C J, Engineering p age 15 CITY OF ROSEMEAD C� ■ All plan check includes a review of any or all of the following design elements, as determined by the City's adopted Building Codes, State and Federal standards and requirements for: • Architectural ■ Residential • Fire /Life- safety ■ Electrical • Plumbing ■ Energy Conservation Regulations (Title 24) • Mechanical ■ Disabled Access Regulations (CBC) • Structural ■ Green Building Standards • CASp Willdan notifies each applicant with two complete typewritten plan check letters, which outline the documents reviewed, instructions to the applicant regarding the processing of documents, and a listing of plan check comments. The plan check comments refer to appropriate sheets, details or calculation pages and the code section of concern. Comments shall specify the apparent code violation. Plan check comments, plans and documents are returned directly to the designers until such time as plans are approved. Our plan checkers will schedule meetings during work hours to discuss and clarify plan check issues with designers, owners and contractors. Resolutions of code issues are accomplished by telephone, email, or meetings prior to resubmitting corrected plans and documents. For example, we meet almost on a monthly basis with various Edison teams of architects on their many projects, the latest of which is the pedestrian bridge over Walnut Grove connecting the GO 1 and GO 3 buildings. Willdan's plan check staff will often meet with City staff, architects, developers and homeowners prior to plan resubmittal, to discuss any issues arising from the first review comments and to address code compliance concerns or questions. These meetings help to expedite plan review rechecks and move toward timely plan approvals. In addition, Willdan's Building Official, Mr. James Donovan, will continue to provide daily over -the- counter plan review. As a part of our customer - focused approach, Mr. Donovan is also our lead in the pre - development review of projects. His timely comments have saved time and money for applicants even before they actually submit plans. Mr. Donovan, as well as Mr. Guerra, Mr. Widmayer, Mr. Amirazizi or any of plan check staff, are available to meet with applicants early in the plan development process to help with code compliance issues. We have met early and often with many applicants in the City of Rosemead. N' WILLDAN Engineering City of Rosemead Building and Safety Services Page 16 CITY OF ■ ROSEMEAD ■ ■ �' ■ ® ■ ■ ■ ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW Willdan has long had the ability to provide plan review services electronically, at no additional cost to the City or applicants. Because of our hands -on approach to solving code issues for our Rosemead clients, we have typically worked with paper plans; however, we are convinced we can offer electronic plan review and still continue to help applicants to solve code issues. The many advantages of our "tree - saving' electronic plan review process includes the elimination of the need for additional computer software or hardware —only an Internet connection is necessary. Electronic plan review services are provided at the request of the applicant or the agency we serve. Submittals are accepted in PDF format. Willdan will review plans and has the ability to transmit the redlined plans back to the applicant or designer via the website, along with the plan review comment sheet. This service allows for on -line collaboration between the City, designer and plans examiner to facilitate a complete understanding of plan review comments and can reduce shipping, printing and timelines for plan review processing for the applicant. Below is an example of a redlined plan, as reviewed in an electronic format. City of Rosemead WI LLDAN Building and Saf Services Yff Engineering I Page 17 CITY OF ■ ROSEMEAD ■ ■ `' ■ `' ■ ■ ■ INSPECTION SERVICES Under the direct supervision of Mr. Jim Donovan, our current inspection team of Mr. Rex Shields and Mr. Richard Kellogg will continue to provide customer - friendly, code - compliant inspections in Rosemead. Their experience and expertise is representative of the excellent inspection staff we have provided over our many years of service to the City. Our inspectors are ]CC certified and fully experienced to perform residential, commercial and industrial inspections for compliance to the approved plans and related documents. The inspections will be performed in accordance with the City's adopted version of the Los Angeles County Building laws, which includes the California Building Code, California Residential Code, Green Building Standards Code, California Mechanical Code, California Plumbing Code, California Electrical Code, and the State and Federal regulations for Accessibility, Noise and Energy Conservation, California Fire Code and provisions of Title 19 and NFPA. Inspection staff is available to meet with City staff, builders, developers, and citizens to provide assistance and resolve any inspection issues that may arise. Inspectors attend and participate in required meetings with other City staff, property owners, contractors and /or design professionals. Inspectors review the permit package to verify that the on -site condition is consistent with the appropriate records for square footage, setbacks, heights, and other requirements that may be applicable. Inspectors comply with the City's procedures for reporting inspection results, use City inspection correction forms, make appropriate entries onto the permit documents, and follow City procedures prior to finalizing a building permit. Willdan has both designed and provided all of the City of Rosemead plan check, permit and inspection forms. We were also instrumental in the design of modifications to the HDL permit issuance system to specifically meet the needs of the City of Rosemead. Willdan verifies that all inspection records, including daily records of inspected projects, which will be recorded on the job card, with a permit copy entered into the City's Building and Safety HDL system. We will employ such techniques as necessary to minimize delays to builders and provide helpful advice and counsel to builders, owners, engineers and architects as to enhance the orderly flow of the construction process, while maintaining an effective level of enforcement. Inspectors ensure that any construction changes are documented and approved by appropriate City planning and /or public works staff. Our inspection staff is trained to look for compliance with both City planning and public works requirements and advise the permitees of possible non - compliance and report those non - compliance issues to the appropriate City department. We strenuously avoid the "not my job" attitude of some building departments. City of Rosemead WI LLDAN I Building and Saf Services Il� Engineering page 1 CITY OF IROSEMEAD CASp SERVICES In response to increased disabled access compliance lawsuits, especially those against small business owners, being filed in all cities including Rosemead, Willdan has had to expand the availability of our CASp services to the citizens of Rosemead. We have also made available Small Business Administration documents and handouts at the public counter. Willdan provides CASp- certified inspectors to the City as required by Senate Bill No. 1608, specifically Chapter 549, which reads as follows: (d) (1) Commencing July 1, 2010, a local agency shall employ or retain at least one building inspector who is a certified access specialist. The certified access specialist shall provide consultation to the local agency, permit applicants, and members of the public on compliance with state construction - related accessibility standards with respect to inspections of a place of public accommodation that relate to permitting, plan checks, or new construction, including, but not limited to, inspections relating to tenant improvements that may impact access. If a local agency employs or retains two or more certified access specialists to comply with this subdivision, at least one -half of the certified access specialists shall be building inspectors who are certified access specialists. v e City of Rosemead WI LLDAN Building and Safety Services Engineering l� p age 19 CITY OF ROSEMEAD ■ ® ® ■ ■ PERMIT COUNTER TECHNICIAN Under the supervision of Mr. James Donovan, our team of permit technicians (Ms. Tressa Brown, Ms. Abbey Shields, and Ms. Barbara Tcobanian) will continue to provide customer - friendly public counter service. Using the HDL software system for plan check tracking, permit issuance and report generation, Wilidan provides quick, efficient service at the counter. While HDL is an excellent tool, it does not replace our knowledgeable staff, who always understands that this may be the first time that that a citizen is applying for a permit. We have the ability to help all applicants, from the least knowledgeable applicant for a simple home remodel to experienced owners who have many years of development experience. Our goal is to make sure that every applicant feels that we have answered their questions and met their needs. Our building counter services include: • Customer support at the counter and over the phone • Permit application review to ensure completeness and accuracy • Fees calculation • Building permit processing and issuance • Public assistance in completing permit applications • Verification that projects have obtained all necessary approvals prior to permit issuance • Applicant notification when construction documents and /or permits are ready for pick -up or issuance • Coordination and routing of construction documents to the appropriate City staff for plan review and approval • Resolution of resident inquires, complaints • Plan review monitoring, to ensure turnaround times and standards are being met • Records maintenance, document preparation for storage and or imaging City of Rosemead I ZA WI LLDAN I BUilding and safety services .__ __ Engineering page 110 ■ CITY OF ROSEMEAD PERFORMANCE STANDARDS i=l ■ ■ ■ © ® ■ ■ Willdan staffs the Building and Safety Division during City Hall hours of operation.

With a vast pool of professional staff, we can respond to requests from the City Manager quickly and efficiently. Disaster Recovery Assistance For over two decades, Willdan has helped California recover from firestorms, floods, earthquakes and mudslides. In the midst of the turmoil, Willdan emerged to assist local communities in rebuilding their homes and their pride. Over the years, Willdan has established a reputation for its disaster recovery assistance programs. The Willdan team is ready to assist by providing efficient means of reviewing and approving building permit applications, and providing prompt construction inspection for affected property owners. We understand that most city and county staff are hard pressed to maintain normal services while assisting residents impacted by a major disaster. Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of Willdan's disaster recovery assistance is the establishment of "one -stop permit centers," which virtually guarantee fast -track plan checking and inspection services. Funding for many of these projects is provided by the FEMA and the Office of Emergency Services (OES). Specifically, Willdan has assisted communities recover from the following disasters: • Northridge Earthquake • Loma Prieta Earthquake • Whittier Narrows Earthquake • Berkeley Tunnel Firestorm • Malibu Flood • Malibu - Topanga Firestorm • Oakland Firestorm • Calabasas Flood Firestorms Responding to the need for immediate clean -up in the aftermath of a firestorm, Willdan services include long -term recovery operations. Willdan has provided assistance the very day the flames were finally extinguished. Staff can immediately begin working on: • Damage assessment • Public information for fire damage assistance • Street and storm drain clean -up • Removal of burned vehicles • Replacement of more than 100 storm drains • Street repairs • Replacement of destroyed bridges • Establishment and management of a city -wide debris removal program • Preparation and implementation of a near -term erosion and sediment control program City of Rosemead 4 WI LLDAN I Building and .Safety S ervices Engineering Page 124 ■ CITY OF ® ■ ■ ° ROSEMEAD ■ ■ ° ■ ■ ■ In addition to private - property assessment, Willdan can provide initial damage assessments and cost estimates for a variety of publicly owned buildings, including public libraries, multi - family housing complexes, cemeteries and mausoleums, parking lots, pier pump stations, and treatment plant and utility lines. We are also able to offer construction management services for emergency repair, such as: • Conducting site inspections for damage and safety assessment • Engineering evaluations • Recommending repair methods • Reviewing and writing specifications • Preparing cost estimates, change orders, and requests for qualifications • Reviewing bids Floods Winter storms caused a considerable amount of damage to a variety of infrastructure facilities. Willdan was retained to provide flood recovery services, responsible for assessing public facility damage, preparing bid documents for repair work and let contracts. The work required close coordination with FEMA and OES officials for reimbursements. Past work involving these agencies has included: ■ Preparation of Exhibit B for types of damage project repairs • Filing the Notice of Intent (NOI) • Field reviews with OES field inspectors • Preparation of Damage Survey Report (DSR) description and cost information • Preparation of a hazard mitigation program for OES review and approval • Final OES and FEMA walk- through and project approval Earthquakes Willdan coordinated with FEMA and the OES officials for reimbursement of earthquake fees. Additionally, Willdan provided over - the - counter plan checking services and permit issuance for privately owned commercial and residential properties. Perhaps the most unique aspect of Willdan's disaster recovery assistance was the establishment of a "one - stop permit center," where planning and zoning approval, as well as building and safety permits, were issued the same day directly over the counter. This service by Willdan was essential to the City of Rosemead's response and recovery from the 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake.
