Staffing Capacity and Project Management <br />Building Solutions for Municipalities B-2 <br /> <br />Project Approach Overview <br /> <br />Our approach to this engagement is centered on fostering open communication between our firm and the <br />City. Prior to receipt of our first assignment, we would propose to meet with City staff to discuss local <br />code policies, documentation procedures, plan processing protocols, plan review and inspection checklist <br />items, notification protocols, and scheduling. On an ongoing basis, our firm is committed to maintaining <br />regular communication with City staff to ensure that we are kept apprised of current code interpretations <br />and policies, and to enhance our ability to quickly respond to any issues that may arise during permit <br />counter, document review, and/or inspection activities. <br /> <br />We value the importance of the City’s projects and are committed to meeting all project service delivery <br />deadlines. Under the direction of the City Building Official, we will diligently document and report all plan <br />review findings, tracking information, and other reports, as required by the City. <br /> <br />Throughout this engagement, our key team members will be available to meet with City staff either via <br />phone or in person to address questions that may come up during the course of a project. We understand <br />that being accessible to project stakeholders is essential in helping ensure that decisions are made in <br />timely manner; as such, our firm is committed to responding to all inquiries within 1 business day. W e <br />encourage discussions via in-person meeting, telecon, and/or WebEx formats as agreeable and <br />necessary to achieve the most expeditious results. <br /> <br />Team Organization <br />Mindful of the complexity of projects typical to the Bay Area, TRB+ has assembled a plan review team <br />with exceptional qualifications and attentiveness to quality and schedule. Todd Bailey, PE, our company <br />Principal, will serve as the Project Manager for this engagement. He will be working closely with our Plan <br />Review team to ensure turnaround goals are met and that findings are communicated in a timely and clear <br />manner. <br /> <br />Furthermore, Todd will be monitoring all work product to ensure that findings are focused on code-relevant <br />considerations. Todd maintains a practical perspective on the intent of the codes and possesses a <br />heightened sensitivity to project turnaround milestones. <br /> <br />With our Project Manager at the helm, our key plan review staff as identified in the organization chart <br />which follows will be performing any assigned plan review projects, led by our Plan Review Manager, <br />Dominic Ma, SE, MPA. Dominic possesses extensive experience in plan review, which includes working <br />for more than 27 years as a plan review engineer for the City of San Leandro, and 6 years as a <br />supervising civil engineer for the City of Oakland, where he led the City’s plan review division. <br /> <br />Upon receipt of a plan review assignment, out project manager will coordinate with our plan review <br />manager to assign the project to the appropriate staffmembers and may distribute work to multiple <br />individuals to accommodate expertise and timing considerations. For complex projects, work may be <br />distributed between disciplines, typically different individuals for 1) Architectural/Disabled Access/T24 <br />Energy/Green, 2) Structural, 3) Mechanical/Plumbing, and 4) Electrical. In the event multiple submittals <br />come in which require multiple resources, our Project Manager may split portions of the work in a single <br />discipline to other licensed/certified individual to ensure turnaround dates are met. <br /> <br />City of San Leandro | Building Plan Check Services
