CONTRACTOR PROPOSAL
Through active participation in the International Code Council and other building safety organizations, we maintain
our training and understanding of the latest industry trends, alternative building materials, green building principles,
and sustainable construction. Our personnel possess registrations and certifications in civil, structural, architectural,
life safety, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical disciplines and are experienced in reviewing and inspecting both
simple and complex projects, including accessibility compliance and fire protection engineering.
The knowledge and experience of our staff have allowed Willdan to provide services from startup of building safety
operations for newly incorporated cities to full department staffing to every day on-call inspections and plan reviews
for residential and small commercial facilities, subdivisions, and right-of-way improvements to the specialized
inspection of educational facilities, high rises, commercial buildings, hotels, casinos, and power plants.
Building Plan Review Expertise
Because of our hands-on approach to solving code issues, we have typically worked with paper plans. When plans are
received in a printed format, Willdan has fully developed procedures that produce timely and accurate plan reviews.
We utilize our proprietary software, Plan Check Tracking System (PCTS) to log and track plan reviews throughout
the project life.
While hard copy plan reviews have been the traditional method, to alleviate delays and costs incurred while
transmitting hard copy plan reviews and comments, Willdan offers our clients state-of-art electronic plan reviews. A
few advantages of our tree-saving electronic plan review process include:
• Immediate input and feedback through on-line collaboration
Time savings — no waiting for entails or mail to be delivered
• Cost savings — no printing or overnight delivery
• No additional hardware or software — only Internet connection necessary
Electronic plan review services are provided — at no additional cost — at the request of the applicant or the agency we
serve, Submittals are accepted in PDF format.
Access to our electronic plan review files is set up through a secured portal. Willdan establishes user profiles to provide
defined access such as view only, read and comment, or full access for comment coordination and review. Electronic
redlined plans are transmitted back to the design team or the County as directed. This service allows for on-line
collaboration between the County, designer, and plans examiner to facilitate a complete understanding of plan review
comments and reduces shipping, printing, and timelines for plan review processing for the applicant.
When reviews are completed and the project is approved, the electronic files are transmitted to the County in a format
compatible with the County's recordkeeping media.
Building Inspection and Code Compliance Expertise
Willdan provides dedicated inspectors and backup inspectors for our clients' building safety needs. Our experienced
staff has inspected major projects that include casinos, low- and high-rise hotels and offices, parking structures, retail
commercial developments, shopping centers, condominiums, regional malls, and major residential developments.

SERIAL 180231-RFP
Willdan's plan reviewers possess improvement plan review capabilities in street, sewer, water, traffic, street lighting,
striping, erosion control, and drainage. Hydrology and hydraulic calculations for off-site improvements are reviewed
for accuracy to verify that drainage plans are adequate for design runoff. Drainage plans and hydrology calculations
are coordinated with the regional flood control agency, where necessary. Structural calculations, when submitted, are
reviewed by our in-house structural engineers. Grading plans are reviewed against geotechnical recommendations.
Sewer, water, and other utility offsite improvement plans prepared for other agencies are reviewed for
conflict/consistency with established design guidelines.
Our plan review services involve review of planning, civil, and site plans submitted for improvements in conjunction
with land development applications. The plans will be subject to a thorough review to ensure facilities satisfy adopted
standards and that sound planning, engineering, and construction practices are observed. Improvement plan reviews
include, at a minimum, grading, erosion control, street, sewer, water, street lighting, and drainage plans. Willdan will
review supplementary plans and calculations, including hydrology and hydraulic plans and calculations, sanitary
sewer plans and calculations, traffic studies, soils reports, and structural calculations as may be required. In
conjunction with the plan review, the bond estimate for improvements will be verified.
Optional Available Services
Accelerated Plan Review
The accelerated plan review process provides some applicants the opportunity to pay a premium for their plan review
to reduce the review time to half or even one-quarter of the standard review time and, ultimately, reduce some carrying
costs of a development project. This process is highly customer-service-oriented and is extremely beneficial to the
applicant as well as to our clients.
Third-Party Agreements
Third-party agreements can be utilized by the County to allow the permit applicant/holder to pay Willdan directly for
the same services that the County offers through outsourced plan reviews or inspections. The advantage of this process
is that it allows the County to reduce revenue and expenditure concerns, while maintaining control over the plan
review and inspection process.
Project Approach
Willdan sees our role as that of facilitator and guide—helping development applicants get through the review,
permitting, and inspection processes – rather than leaving the applicant in a lurch. We understand that the process of
complying with ever-changing 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 complexities associated with processing private development applications and
potential competing interests is essential to exceptional customer service. We are there to serve the bests interests of
our client and assist developers and designers complete their desired projects for the betterment of the entire
community. Common sense decision-making and technical analysis in interpreting the intent of regulatory guidelines
are significant strengths Willdan's staff brings to the County.
Plan Review Services
All building plans are examined for compliance with adopted version of the International Building Code, International
Residential Code, International Green Construction Code, International Energy Conservation Code, International
Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, National Electrical Code, International Existing Building Code,
International Property Maintenance Code, International Fire Code, ADA Accessibility Code, and all applicable
County ordinances. Plan reviews for disabled access compliance may include a review of precise grading plans.
Plan reviews include an overview of the application package for other applicable requirements, such as approvals
from other local agencies and districts and coordination with other County depaitments. All plan reviews comply with
the County's directives, codes, and policies as determined by adopted building codes and state and federal standards
and involve a review of design element requirements for:

• Structural • Residential
• Electrical • Green Building
• Disabled Access • Energy Conservation
• Fire
Typically, when a project is received, it is logged into PCTS to allow internal tracking of the project. Based upon the
type of review needed, Willdan's project manager will triage the project and assign it for review. The triage process
ensures that the disciplines needed are identified and the appropriate staff is assigned.
Through PCTS, the project is separated into segments allowing each discipline to complete their portion in a manner
that fosters easy compilation of all review comments by the project manager. During the review cycle, the project
manager reviews the schedule to determine the status of the project. PCTS identifies the timeline status of each
discipline in the review process. The system points out potential resource overload and bottlenecks — allowing our
project manager to assess the review schedule and bring in additional corporate-wide staffmg resources if needed.
Following the hard-copy or electronic review, senior staff members certified or registered in the given discipline
perform a quality assurance overview to confirm a complete and accurate review has been performed. If issues arise,
the senior staff will meet with the plan reviewer to discuss the discrepancy and add or subtract comments in the
correspondence prior to returning the project to Maricopa County.
We encourage communication between Maricopa County, the applicant, and Willdan prior to resubmitting a project
for review to ensure questions related to the project are understood and addressed.
Willdan notifies each applicant with two complete typewritten plan review letters outlining the documents reviewed
and providing instructions to the applicant regarding document processing and a list of plan review comments. The
plan review comments refer to appropriate sheets, details, or calculation pages and the code section of concern.
Comments will specify the apparent code violation. Plan review comments, plans, and documents are returned directly
to the designers until plans are approved.
Our plan reviewers will schedule meetings during work hours to discuss and clarify plan review issues with designers,
owners, and contractors. Resolutions of code issues are accomplished by telephone, email, or meetings prior to
resubmitting corrected plans and documents.
Willdan's plan review staff will often meet with County staff, architects, developers, and homeowners prior to plan
resubmittal to discuss any issues arising from the first review comments and address code compliance concerns or
questions. These meetings help to expedite second (or third) plan reviews and move toward timely approvals. On
larger or complex projects, Willdan will provide up-front consultation services with the design team to ensure all
parties understand the standards and submittal requirements.

Inspection Services
Willdan's inspectors perform assigned inspections in accordance with County-adopted codes, regulations, procedures,
and processes and with applicable state and federal codes. Inspectors review the permit package to verify that on-site
conditions are consistent with the appropriate records for square footage, setbacks, heights, and other requirements
that may be applicable. Inspectors comply with the County's procedures for reporting inspection results, use County
inspection correction forms, make appropriate entries onto the permit documents, and follow County procedures prior
to fmalizing a building permit.
Our inspectors are thorough and spend the necessary time with the applicant during the inspection process to explain
any issues and what is needed to correct deficiencies. Additionally, our correction notices will contain the code section
or other reference number, when applicable, that the applicant may need for reference to resolve an issue. When an
inspection assignment is received, a qualified member of our inspection staff will be assigned to the project. Depending

SERIAL 180231-RFP
upon the complexity of the project, the staff assigned may perform multi-disciplined inspections. On complex projects,
specialized inspection staff will be used to ensure that the highest quality of service is provided. The assigned staff
will be available during the duration of the project with back-up provided based upon workload and expertise.
Inspections will be performed by one inspector to maintain project continuity, unless approved to add additional staff
due to work progress or project complexities.
Assigned inspector(s) will respond to construction inspection requests as outlined by the adopted codes, as required
by the plans and specifications, and as required by the designated representative of Maricopa County. Willdan staff
will fully familiarize themselves with all forms and processes Maricopa County currently has in place or will provide
Maricopa County with customized forms to accurately document the work performed on the project. Inspection
records and reports will be maintained at Willdan's office with copies provided to Maricopa County's designated
representative for their use in project documentation and statistical reports. Willdan's staff will conform to all of
Maricopa County's policies and procedures. Inspectors will report directly to Maricopa County's designee and will
perform all tasks as requested. Plan review and inspection staff will attend all meetings deemed necessary by Maricopa
County and Willdan management.
Inspection Timeline Schedule
Inspection requests that have been scheduled following the County's established policies and procedures are
completed the day they are assigned. Willdan has the organizational and the technical skills, as well as the staffing
capacity, necessary to accommodate inspections on an emergency basis with as little as a two-hour notice.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance and control procedures are critical to ensuring sound engineering practices and quality deliverables
are produced for our clients. Mr. Patrick Johnson, PE, will serve Maricopa County as the Quality Assurance Manager.
As a matter of practice, project-specific quality assurance activities are planned at the beginning of each project.
Typical activities include ensuring the appropriate technical staff is assigned to the project, ensuring the proper project
technical approach is selected, establishing a project schedule that meets internal Willdan and County deadlines, and
determining the proper level of quality review.
Mr. Johnson will coordinate with Ms. Autumn Wollmann, CBO, our proposed Project Manager, to assign a senior
staff member(s) experienced in the required disciplines to perform quality reviews and ensure project objectives are
met at project completion. Civil reviews will be managed under Building Safety and reviewed by or under the guidance
of registered civil engineers.
Our preliminary plan review County code compliance check serves as a pre-established guideline for our quality
assurance and control methodologies for each project review. All correction letters are reviewed before they are
returned to the applicant and the County. All projects requiring additional rechecks are reviewed by the same
individual(s) to positively confirm that all questions and comments have been addressed before releasing the project
back to the applicant and the County.

1.0 All contract-related travel plans and arrangements shall be prior-approved by the County Contract
Administrator.
2.0 Lodging, per diem and incidental expenses incurred in performance of Maricopa County/Special District
(County) contracts shall be reimbursed based on current U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)
domestic per diem rates for Phoenix, Arizona. Contractors must access the following intemet site to
determine rates (no exceptions): www.gsa.gov
2.1 Additional incidental expenses (i.e., telephone, fax, intemet and copying charges) shall not be
reimbursed. They should be included in the contractor's hourly rate as an overhead charge.
2.2 The County will not (under no circumstances) reimburse for Contractor guest lodging, per diem or
incidentals.
3.0 Commercial air travel shall be reimbursed as follows:
3.1 Coach airfare will be reimbursed by the County. Business class airfare may be allowed only when
preapproved in writing by the County Contract Administrator as a result of the business need of the
County when there is no lower fare available.
3.2 The lowest direct flight airfare rate from the Contractors assigned duty post (pre-defined at the time
of contract signing) will be reimbursed. Under no circumstances will the County reimburse for
airfares related to transportation to or from an alternate site.
3.3 The County will not (under no circumstances) reimburse for Contractor guest commercial air travel.
4.0 Rental vehicles may only be used if such use would result in an overall reduction in the total cost of the trip,
not for the personal convenience of the traveler. Multiple vehicles for the same set of travelers for the same
travel period will not be permitted without prior written approval by the County Contract Administrator.
4.1 Purchase of comprehensive and collision liability insurance shall be at the expense of the contractor.
The County will not reimburse contractor if the contractor chooses to purchase these coverage.
4.2 Rental vehicles are restricted to sub-compact, compact or mid-size sedans unless a larger vehicle is
necessary for cost efficiency due to the number of travelers. (NOTE: contractors shall obtain pre-
approval in writing from the County Contract Administrator prior to rental of a larger vehicle.)
4.3 County will reimburse for parking expenses if free, public parking is not available within a
reasonable distance of the place of County business. All opportunities must be exhausted prior to
securing parking that incurs costs for the County. Opportunities to be reviewed are the DASH;
shuttles, etc. that can transport the contractor to and from County buildings with minimal costs.
4.4 County will reimburse for the lowest rate, long-term uncovered (e.g. covered or enclosed parking
will not be reimbursed) airport parking only if it is less expensive than shuttle service to and from
the airport.
4.5 The County will not (under no circumstances) reimburse the Contractor for guest vehicle rental(s)
or other any transportation costs.
