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