Description: Engineering Design - Contractual Services Finance: Council Notes .~~ ~-'2-4:5 Agenda Item No. ~ K /3.-/ OLf City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT Subject: Resolution of the City of San Bernardino approving Professional Services Agreements with Transtech Engineers, Inc. and Willdan for Professional Civil Engineering Plan Checking Services. Background: The Development Services Department is responsible for development plan review and plan checking for various land development and capital improvement projects. This program consists of the review and plan checking of roads, bridges, buildings, grading, drainage, landscaping, traffic signals, on-site improvements, handicap ramps, etc. Contract plan checking is essential to providing a continually improving level of service to the development community and adequate quality control in the design process for capital improvement projects. The level of development activity is by its nature highly variable and having the services of a consultant firm helps to balance the workload. The engineering land development activities have increased over the last five years consistently. On May 4, 2004, a request for proposals (RFP) to provide Professional Public Works Plan Review Services was sent to 13 consulting engineers in the local area. A copy of the RFP was also sent to the San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce and a copy was posted on the City's website. The Mayor and Common Couocil previously approved the format, evaluation criteria and evaluation procedure used in the RFP on September 2,2003. Four proposals were received from the following firms: Transtech Engineers, Inc., Willdan, Engineering Resources of Southern California (ERSC), and Brian A. Stirrat & Associates. Staff evaluated the four proposals and determined that the proposals best meeting the requirements of the RFP were submitted by Transtech Engineers, Inc., Willdan, and Engineering Resources of Southern California (ERSC). Under the selection process, which was completed on July 1, 2004, and consisted of the evaluation by City staff of proposals and an interview with the top three consultants. Transtech Engineers, Inc. and Willdan were found to be the firms most capable of providing the services being sought. Attached is a copy of the combined results of the ratings from the review of proposals and the interview. Staff is requesting approval of a contract, not to exceed $200,000.00 in services with Transtech Engineers, Inc. (see Rate Attachment B to Agreement with Transtech Engineers Inc.) as the 2 City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT (Continued) selected primary consultant and another $150,000.00 with Willdan (see Rate Attachment B to Agreement with Willdan) as a secondary firm. Transtech Engineers, Inc. has a proven track record of bringing projects on time and has committed to meet the City's turnaround schedule. Transtech has quoted the lowest rate for services of the two selected consultants. Therefore, staff is recommending that a larger portion of the plan checks be directed to Transtech Engineers, Inc. Financial Impact: All of the associated costs shall be paid upon request of the developer for expedited plan check. Therefore, there will be no cost to the City for development plan checking and development review. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution. 3 &~:.l!~:.l! l!j~"'~ .

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO JUNE 2, 2004 -4- o ,() o '\Xl" SCOPE of WORK/SCHEDULE 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 calculationswill 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. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO J liNE 2, 2004 -5- \Xl lO 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. ,0 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. o CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO JUNE 2, 2004 -6- o ...-". .p "h; 'j.:~ o W' PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE Willdan will perform the first plan check on each submittal within ten (10) working days of receipt of notice from the City to pick up maps/plans for review.

Pa e 7 ~ by: lranslech ,..C""II."''''; o 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 necessClry 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. o to: ~ Public Works Plan ReView Services Section 2-lnformatron er Cit 's 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. to: bY: lrans/"ecn Public Works Plan Review Services Section 2-lntormallon er e,l's RFP, Pa e 10 'O;C:....".J,IIoC. o o I I 10 I to: 2.H If you have an office in the City of San Bernardino, include a copy of your Business Registration and include the address and number of permanent employees assigned to that office.

Description: Engineering Design - Contractual Services Finance: Council Notes Agenda Item No. o o o City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT Subject: Resolution of the City of San Bernardino approving Professional Services Agreements with Transtech Engineers, Inc. and WiIldan for Professional Civil Engineering Plan Checking Services. Background: The Development Services Department is responsible for development plan review and plan checking for various land development and capital improvement projects. This program consists of the review and plan checking of roads, bridges, buildings, grading, drainage, landscaping, traffic signals, on-site improvements, handicap ramps, etc. Contract plan checking is essential to providing a continually improving level of service to the development community and adequate quality control in the design process for capital improvement projects. The level of development activity is by its nature highly variable and having the services of a consultant firm helps to balance the workload. The engineering land development activities have increased over the last five years consistently. On May 4, 2004, a request for proposals (RFP) to provide Professional Public Works Plan Review Services was sent to 13 consulting engineers in the local area. A copy of the RFP was also sent to the San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce and a copy was posted on the City's website. The Mayor and Common Council previously approved the format, evaluation criteria and evaluation procedure used in the RFP on September 2, 2003. Four proposals were received from the following firms: Transtech Engineers, Inc., Willdan, Engineering Resources of Southern California (ERSC), and Brian A. Stirrat & Associates. Staff evaluated the four proposals and determined that the proposals best meeting the requirements of the RFP were submitted by Transtech Engineers, Inc., WiIldan, and Engineering Resources of Southern California (ERSC). Under the selection process, which was completed on July I, 2004, and consisted of the evaluation by City staff of proposals and an interview with the top three consultants. Transtech Engineers, Inc. and WiIldan were found to be the firms most capable of providing the services being sought. Attached is a copy of the combined results of the ratings from the review of proposals and the interview. Staff is requesting approval of a contract, not to exceed $200,000.00 in services with Transtech Engineers, Inc. (see Rate Attachment B to Agreement with Transtech Engineers Inc.) as the 2 o o o City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT (Continued) selected primary consultant and another $150,000.00 with WilIdan (see Rate Attachment B to Agreement with Willdan) as a secondary firm. Transtech Engineers, Inc. has a proven track record of bringing projects on time and has committed to meet the City's turnaround schedule. Transtech has quoted the lowest rate for services of the two selected consultants. Therefore, staff is recommending that a larger portion of the plan checks be directed to Transtech Engineers, Inc. Financial Impact: All of the associated costs shall be paid upon request of the developer for expedited plan check. Therefore, there will be no cost to the City for development plan checking and development review.
