2.E A brief narrative of the processes that will be employed to complete the
review including a discussion of quality control measures.
Philosophy
Transtech Engineers, Inc. believes that the plan check services should be provided in
manner that is as applicant friendly as possible. Between various State and County
agencies, and the associated bureaucracy; it has become very difficult for the average
business person to develop their own property. Meeting the needs of these individuals,
through education and patient plan review, and inspection is a high priority. We believe
that the City is far better served by a consultant who ensures that the applicants are not
alienated by the whole process of obtaining and finaling a permit.
Our services are founded on the principals of Total Quality Management. We start by
working with the applicant during plan review to help him or her prepare a set of plans
which have all the required information clearly and logically presented. Additionally, we
never hesitate to make suggestions which help eliminate complicated details, reduce
construction costs, and/or provide details which are easy to verify in the field.
Experience has taught us well that inspection time and applicant frustration can both be
substantially reduced, while increasing overall compliance, by producing a better set of
plans during plan review process. And in the case of applicants, this policy often
demonstrates early on that the City really is here to help.
Administrative Policies
Plan review corrections are written clearly, and are fully detailed to explain the Code
deficiency . To help the applicant better understand the problem, Transtech Engineers,
Inc. provides as much information during plan review as possible. We believe that if the
applicant has a clear understanding of the problem, he or she can take the necessary
steps to correct the condition. This policy reduces the number of plan review rechecks
required, allows the applicant to obtain a permit much sooner, and reduces the overall
time our staff is required to spend on that particular plan. Unclear and/or cryptic
corrections are never written, and all correction lists typed.
Fast Tracking of Plans
Transtech Engineers, Inc. understands the importance of being able to expedite certain
projects through the plan review process. This also, is included as a normal part of our
service.

2.F Items, actions or information the Consultant expects to be provided by the
City.
The City shall provide 2 copies of plans for each plan check submittal. When the City
requests plan check service from Transtech, a request e-mail shall be sent to our
designated e-mail (which would be named sbowocheckreauestCa transteche.com or
similar) specifying a plan check request number. Transtech will pick-up the plans within
48 hours of the receipt of the request, and return the comments to the City within a
specified time frame.

2004-245
2.G Any comments or suggestions that the Consultant believes necessary to
improve the plan review process or to comply with the requirements of
this RFP.
We recommend that plan review corrections are generated in a standard format.
Transtech has developed an in-house program for plan check, which provides review
comments and applicable Code deficiency (including all applicable code sections) for
each comment for reference.
This helps the applicant better understand the problem. We believe that if the applicant
has a clear understanding of the problem, he or she can take the necessary steps to
correct the condition.
This also reduces the number of plan review rechecks required, allows the applicant to
obtain a permit much sooner, and reduces the overall time our staff is required to spend
on that particular plan.

the particular needs of specific geographic areas. All of our key staff members were
previously employed by public agencies and have strong backgrounds in all aspects of
municipal engineering, building and safety, landscape architecture, and traffic services.
Our staff, while highly trained, are provided with the technical support and expertise of
engineers and professional staff of the entire company. Their specific area of expertise
provides Willdan with depth that only a large firm can provide. Our plan check staff
attend seminars and workshops to stay current with standards, such as the Subdivision
Map Act, Americans with Disabilities, and NPDES.
The firm's complete list of services includes: building and safety, public works,
construction management, inspection, civil engineering, urban and environmental
planning, traffic engineering and transportation planning, bridge structural design,
highway and rail engineering, drainage and flood control, real property services,

SCOPE of WORKISCHEDULE
ENGINEERING PLAN CHECKING
Willdan will provide the City with qualified engineering plan checkers, and plan check
engineers to perform "red line" review to ensure compliance with the City's standards,
standard requirements, policies and procedures. Engineering plan checking services
will be coordinated with building and safety plan checking, landscape plan checking,
planning division staff, and others. At all times, an attitude of service to the applicant
will be kept in the best traditions of public service. In our work for other Southern
California cities, we have plan checked private developments and have required
developers to construct adjacent off -site improvements, such as street, sidewalk, curb
and gutter, and parkway improvements. All work must comply with General Plan,
Development Permit, and Public Works requirements.
Our civil engineers review private development improvement plans, such as streets,
storm drains, sewers, water lines, and traffic signals, checking for sewer loads and
connections, roadway widths, cul-de-sac turning radius, fire flows, and street light
spacing. When appropriate, our traffic engineers will assist in the review of
improvement plans to develop approaches to reduce impacts to traffic and ensure
public safety. A significant item typically included in plan checking process is the
identification of the need for traffic control plans and review of such plans. Other
reviews include access and circulation issues and their impact on traffic safety. These
reviews typically involve the review of sight distance, vehicle storage and access
requirements.
Improvement plan checking will include, but not be limited to, precise and rough
grading, street, sewer, traffic, street lighting, striping, and erosion control and drainage
plans. Hydrology and hydraulic calculations will be checked for sufficiency to verify that
the drainage plans are adequate to provide for design runoff. Drainage plans and
hydrology calculations will also be coordinated with the Flood Control District where
necessary. Structural calculations, when submitted, will be checked by our in-house
structural engineers. Plans will be checked against soil and geotechnical reports.
Sewer, water, and other utility plans prepared for other agencies will be reviewed for
conflict/consistency with City street and drainage plans.
Subdivision maps, including parcel and final tract maps, will be checked to assure
compliance with applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, the City of San
Bernardino Conditions of Approval, Land Surveyor's Act and any other applicable
ordinances. There will be detailed checks made up of such maps, including, but not
limited to, review of survey documentation and title reports, lot and boundary closure,
dedications and easement provisions, legal descriptions, completeness, and accuracy
of data notation, and necessary certifications of City staff.

Private Parking Lot Plans will be reviewed for all the above items and in addition will
be checked to verify compliance with Title 24 accessibility requirements of the State
Building Code, as well as the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Drainage Area
Management Plan, Supplement "A". Quantity calculations will be reviewed for all
projects to assure accuracy and completeness to verify appropriate bonding amounts.
Rough Grading Plans will be reviewed to assure conformance with City codes, written
policies and standard specifications. The review will also assure conformance with the
approved tentative map and conditions of approval for the project. Hydrology and
hydraulic calculations will be reviewed for conformance with San Bernardino City Flood
Control District methodology for any proposed storm drain systems and detention
basins.
Grading Plans will be reviewed for compliance with the recommendations,
specifications and details contained in the submitted soils report and to assure that all
appropriate details are shown on the plans. Quantity calculations will be reviewed to
assure accuracy and completeness.
Erosion Control Plans will be reviewed to assure erosion and sedimentation measures
comply with the Best Management Practices listed in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plans.
Precise Grading Plans will be checked to verify positive drainage to an approved
outlet. Where deepened footings are required due to the lot grading, the extent and
depth of the needed deepened footing will be clearly noted on each footprint. Erosion
control measures for manufactured slopes will be reviewed to verify that the
landscaping and irrigation measures are adequate. In addition, we will assure any
interim measures to control erosion until such time as the landscaping is viable and
shown on the plan.
In addition, we will review each plan critically to assure the proposed design can be
constructed using normal construction methods, and that the proposed design does not
create either maintenance or liability issues for the upon completion of construction.
SPECIAL STUDIES REVIEW
The review of special studies prepared by developers will be performed by our office
engineers to assure that they are conceptually sound and conform to City of San
Bernardino standards, County or State standards, where applicable, and accepted
engineering practices. These studies include drainage studies, traffic impact studies,
parking studies, and access and circulation studies.
