EXHIBIT B – SCOPE OF WORK 
 
Stantec has been designing and building for communities of all sizes since 1954. Our community has grown 
to more than 28,000 employees, working in over 400 locations, who collaborate across disciplines and 
industries to make buildings, infrastructure, and energy and resource projects happen. Our work—
professional consulting in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, 
surveying, environmental sciences, project management, and project economics—begins at the 
intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships. Our readily available plan review and 
inspection team are local, knowledgeable, and responsive to the needs of our clients. For over 40 years, 
we have been assisting municipalities and counties across the State of Arizona with meeting codes and 
standards that keep our communities safe. We know the locally adopted building, electrical, fire, 
accessibility, mechanical, and plumbing codes. As a team, we have reviewed such building types as, 
casinos; hotels; resorts; parking garages; junior high and high schools; churches; sports stadiums and 
gymnasiums; high-rise office buildings; shopping malls; semiconductor fabrication plants using Hazardous 
Production Materials (HPM); municipal office complexes and recreation facilities; hospitals and nursing 
homes; and multi-family and single-family residential developments. It is understood that building codes 
review may also include requests for building inspection, code consulting, or management of the entire 
building services operation as the designated building official. Stantec has the resources to pull from other 
disciplines and provide construction drawing review, civil engineering grading and drainage plan review, 
transportation plan review, as well as environmental oversight. 
 
At Stantec, we are proud of our long-standing relationship with Maripcoa County. We are responsive and 
provide personalized services for each developer, owner, and applicant which helps alleviate the burden 
on County staff. The integration of the online submittal system has allowed us to further help applicants and 
work side-by-side with county staff to provide services that eliminate paper waste and reduce our carbon 
footprint. We have the ability and willingness to be flexible, allowing us to offer the County customized 
services, and to respond positively to changes within the County. We understand the County is seeking 
highly experienced plan reviews, inspectors, and civil and transportation engineers, who can facilitate code 
reviews across many disciplines. 
 
Our team has many years of experience in all phases of project development and has been recognized as 
the leading consultant for building departments and transportation activities based on the number of repeat 
and continuous clients, including Maricopa County. Since 1971, our local office has provided on-site 
building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and structural inspections for residential, commercial, and 
industrial buildings. Our services encompass all types of additions, remodels, and swimming pools in 
compliance with the International Building, Residential, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Fuel Gas Codes; 
National Electrical Code; Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code; Uniform Administrative Code; and the 
ADA (accessibility) and Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Standards adopted by the County 
and State of Arizona. We understand that the performance of this contract will take place at construction 
sites within the County jurisdictional boundaries when requested. 
 
Our inspection personnel can be assigned to one or more projects/areas providing the County with a vendor 
who can perform the construction inspection for code compliance from foundation to completion and final 
inspection. Presently we serve as code consultants for approximately 10-12 governmental agencies for 
which we provide a combination of building code evaluations, inspections, and plan review services.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
As an extension of the County, Stantec staff are committed to follow all codes, ordinances, procedures, 
policies, and directives related to the services provided for by the scope of work as outlined in the RFP. We 
understand that Stantec will be providing a work product to the Maricopa Planning and Development (P&D), 
but also to Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD). Thus, our deliverables will be 
related to each department’s requirements for regulatory and code compliance.  
 
How we will provide enough qualified staff with appropriate certifications in each discipline. Our current staff 
meets all the County certification requirements. We consistently interview and hire qualified personnel 
holding ICC certifications in one or more of the categories for each discipline required by the County. Our 
firm has an established human resources department focused on assisting us and dedicated to filling the 
Staffing needs of our clients. 
 
How we will respond to requests for additional qualified staff for short-term needs. We know that short-term 
assignments are as important as long-term placements. We have a list of individuals who hold ICC 
certifications, and we are flexible to hire additional qualified personnel as demand may dictate. The 
selection process starts with Stantec interviewing and vetting applicants prior to informing the County of a 
potential candidate. The County will conduct interviews as they deem necessary prior to placing the 
applicant. This process will be followed for all placements. 
How many plan reviewers and inspectors we will provide for each discipline. We have a core staff of full-
time plan reviewers, and we regularly work with numerous qualified independent contractors. Our current 
staff includes building, accessibility, structural, mechanical, plumbing, 
electrical, civil, and fire plan reviewers. We have the ability to add more staff as demands increases. Also, 
Stantec has the unique ability to call upon the architects and engineers in numerous disciplines, such as 
civil, water, and transportation, working at our local office for support. Because of this access to a breadth 
of resources, we can meet the demands and serve the needs of the County. 
 
Available staff to work in the County offices. Stantec understands the past and current needs of the County. 
When requested, we will retain staff to report directly to and work within the County. Beyond what is 
described above, we know what works for you and are adaptable to the changing needs of your 
departments. We will accommodate your requests with prompt responses and qualified personnel. 
 
Our proposed communication procedure. Stantec is proud of our trusted relationship with the County. 
Reviewers are supplied with a phone and laptop for the sole purpose of communicating plan review results 
with the County and allowing clients direct access to our reviewers when needed. Our reviewers believe

SERIAL 230191-RFP 
 
they should be accessible to the client, County, and all departments as they are just one member of a 
diverse team. If building review is completed 
at Stantec, we will:  
• Expedite any necessary contact with applicants by providing email addresses and direct phone numbers 
for each plan reviewer. 
• Contact all involved parties regularly during the plan review process as needed. 
• Resolve issues and provide speedy approvals by encouraging client discussions. 
 
Our staff is trained to communicate with all involved parties as needed for efficient, accurate results. 
Interdepartmental and client contact is promoted within Stantec and is practiced by all our building 
inspectors and plan reviewers. 
 
Todd Probasco will be your single point of contact for the overall contract and will also be the task lead for 
plan review and inspections, Chris Eggers will be the task lead for transportation, Chris Simko will be the 
task lead for water, and Marty Minter, the task lead for environmental services. Each will be leading and 
coordinating any requested review processes from the County in their areas of expertise. 
 
Our team believes adherence to clear communication will help the County achieve its goal: to safeguard 
and preserve the value of your community with structures that provide compliant accessibility, clear egress 
points, adequate restrooms, fire protection, and compliance with all County requirements. While sometimes 
it’s necessary to meet with the design team or County staff, often a simple phone call will clear up questions. 
Stantec is available to discuss plan review comments or project issues with design or County personnel, 
either in person or by telephone or virtual meetings via Teams, Zoom or the County’s preferred platform, 
during County working hours. Stantec will keep the communication lines open and clear to help make sure 
the County’s goals are met. 
 
PLAN REVIEW PROCESS 
We have a basic order of procedure for our on-call contracts that will be used for the County. These 
procedures may be altered if necessary to meet the County’s requirements. 
 
 
OUR PROCESS FOR MARICOPA COUNTY 
 
• Stantec will pick-up/deliver plans or related materials from the County as required to meet plan review 
deadlines should paper documents be submitted. 
• We will conduct a comprehensive and accurate review of building plans, including detailed fire, electrical, 
mechanical, plumbing, structural, building, and accessibility code issues, per the County adopted codes, 
as defined by drawings, specifications, design calculations, and reports, including site reports, soil 
investigation, and compaction reports. We will also perform rechecks of corrected plans and plan changes 
until plans and related documents are substantially correct and complete. Compliance with code or 
discrepancies is based on the current County adopted codes; including building, mechanical, electrical, 
plumbing, energy, and fire; local amendments; State of Arizona statutes; and federal regulations as 
enforced by the County. 
• When the review is complete, we will return the plans to the County along with a letter listing 
any deficiencies or stating approval. Plans and supplemental documents can be stamped approved if 
requested. 
• Electronic submittals via the County online system are logged into our office when the County alerts us. 
Once reviews are completed, we enter comments directly to the County’s online system. We also enter fee

SERIAL 230191-RFP 
 
information, invoice, and complete project data and required inspections as requested. We then email 
approval/denial comment letters and fee sheets to our assigned County contacts and inform them the 
review and the online system workflow is complete. 
• Stantec currently provides each client on every plan review project a fee sheet and separate written letter 
on Stantec letterhead indicating the project data, code deficiency with sheet number, specific information 
identifying the location of the deficiency on the plan sheet, cited code section, and, when necessary, a 
request indicating what change is required. We are proficient in processing hard copy submittals, as well 
as at electronic reviews which save applicants time and money. We can provide redlined plans with each 
project if requested, and our written letter allows us to assist applicants and clients with questions between 
submittals. 
• We will forward approved plans, calculations, and related documents to the County. Approved plans shall 
be identified as being approved as requested by the County. 
• Stantec will meet, when requested, with County staff and other interested parties to conduct assessment 
of the project proposed to be submitted to the County for permit (pre-submittal meetings). These meetings 
will be used to allow the County, and our review staff, to become familiar with the proposed project and 
identify any major code issues. On occasion, we may 
also be requested to attend an initial “partnering” meeting with County staff and project representative. 
Locations of meetings will be determined through mutual agreement by all parties. 
• Stantec will maintain records related to plans reviewed, including all turnaround times. Quality 
control reviews are performed on written documents to maintain a high level of professionalism and 
uniformity. 
• We will respond quickly to telephone inquiries about code requirements and plan review procedures 
relating to assigned projects. These inquiries may relate to plans in process or plan reviews which have 
been completed and construction is still in progress. These telephone inquiries may be made directly to our 
offices or to Stantec’s plan reviewer(s). We will provide a toll-free telephone number for applicants as 
necessary. 
• Deferred submittals and construction change orders/ directives will be coordinated as outlined above. 
Examples include plans for roof trusses, fire alarms, fire sprinklers, and other items as approved by the 
County. 
• Stantec will assist the County with the issuance of the construction permit(s) and tracking of any updates 
if the project is permitted on an incremental basis. We will provide the necessary project information for 
each submittal, including area (square foot), occupancy group and use, construction type, etc., to allow a 
permit to be issued. 
• Current requests from the County Planning and Development staff to assist in the processing of paper 
and electronic submittals can be accommodated by Stantec. We currently have most of our staff approved 
to use the County permitting system and can provide additional services as requested. Stantec dedicated 
many hours to troubleshoot the integration of the current system with County staff and will continue to 
dedicate the necessary time outside of project 
reviews to service the County. 
 
BUILDING INSPECTIONS 
Another way we have honed our delivery is through our inspection process. After countless inspections and 
plan reviews, we have developed a process that is efficient and meets our client’s expectations and goals. 
 
• Our inspectors will report to the County inspection section, or the jobsite, when requested to complete the 
required paperwork and update inspection results within the County’s inspection tracking system. We 
provide daily inspection assistance or specific, individual requests whenever required by the County. 
• We will notify the County and project contractor of any discrepancies in writing. 
• Our inspectors can inspect commercial, industrial, or residential buildings, that include foundations, 
concrete, steel, masonry, framing, plastering, or a large variety of other complex and routine building system 
elements during various stages of construction, to confirm compliance with applicable County codes, 
amendments, and ordinances. 
• Our inspectors will coordinate inspection activities with County departments and divisions as necessary; 
confer with architects, engineers, contractors, and 
superintendents in the field and office. 
• We will provide the inspector(s) with a cell phone, hand tools, code books, any safety equipment required 
by an assigned project, or city, county, state, or federal laws or ordinances, and a vehicle insured per 
County requirements when performing inspection services on behalf of the County.

SERIAL 230191-RFP 
 
• Our inspectors will respond to telephone inquiries about code requirements and inspection procedures 
relating to assigned projects. These inquiries may relate to inspections in process or to inspections which 
have been completed but where construction is still in progress. 
• We will use existing County correction notices or other forms and will follow all policies and procedures of 
the County’s inspection section. 
• The estimated inspection turn-around time between being alerted of a request for an inspector, and when 
one is sent out, is 24 hours from the alert time. 
• Our firm is also equipped to provide long-term, on-site inspections for specific projects when requested 
by a contractor or the County. This service allows a project to meet tight construction deadlines. We have 
successfully provided this service to the County by keeping County staff “in the loop” at all times. Our staff 
have been trained on entering inspections and have accommodated County requests with each project. 
 
GRADING AND DRAINAGE REVIEW 
Our plan reviewers are well trained in the use of recognized codes and standards. They are also very 
knowledgeable in plan review procedures adopted by most cities within the state. We are familiar with 
standard details and specifications used throughout the Valley, including the Uniform Standard 
Specifications for Public Works Construction by the MAG and the City of Phoenix Supplement. 
• Our staff of engineers and specialists are experienced in municipal civil engineering plan review 
procedures and provides a broad wealth of knowledge. 
• As a civil engineering design firm, we are familiar with projects, such as residential subdivisions, 
commercial sites, roadways, water distribution systems, sanitary sewers, and airports. 
• Our team can provide plan review services to confirm compliance with adopted engineering codes and 
standards. Projects where we have provided review services include shopping centers, office and 
apartment complexes, residential subdivisions, including drainage, grading, and preliminary and final plats. 
• The team members included in this proposal are specifically selected for their experience in civil 
engineering and plan review work. 
• Stantec is committed to maintaining a high-caliber staff. Our registered engineers and professional 
technicians are familiar with recognized design standards and local engineering codes. Individual 
certifications and professional licenses are included with the attached resumes. 
 
CIVIL ENGINEERING AND REVIEW 
Our team has provided on-call services for almost all the tasks listed under your Maricopa Planning and 
Development (P&D) requirements. Stantec’s locally based water and transportation groups have held on-
call contracts with multiple municipalities and organizations and have executed a wide variety of projects. 
Within their respective disciplines, they’ve completed traffic studies, small roadway improvement projects, 
pathway and roadway design, right-of-way, and utilities assessments. We also have access to professionals 
in our community 
development group. They provide civil engineering design and reviews of site and residential development, 
subdivision plats, and the associated infrastructure. 
 
CIVIL REVIEW 
Our team’s expansive resume in design projects, gives us greater insight when performing civil plan 
reviews. We can evaluate for compliance with standards, as well as quickly determine the impact of any 
changes during the submittal process. We have provided reviews for industry colleagues and have 
established relationships that lead to better solutions and, ultimately, the best compliant designs 
Throughout water’s lifecycle, from capture, use, and reuse/ disposal, Stantec has a fully integrated team 
working to optimize every facet of a water system. We seamlessly integrate master planning, permitting, 
design, construction oversight, start-up, operations, and asset and maintenance management, to deliver 
integrated and efficiently produced infrastructure. We have extensive experience with specialized 
technologies, such as trenchless construction, computer modeling, wet weather flow management, odor 
and corrosion control, and we are at the forefront of water system automation and reporting. Stantec also 
understands that water resources are one of mankind’s most valuable assets. We strive to conserve and 
manage these resources through sustainable design. Our water resource services encompass a wide range 
of expertise and knowledge, including floodplain delineations, 
flood control design, bridge hydraulic design, drainage infrastructure design, watershed hydrology and

SERIAL 230191-RFP 
 
TRANSPORTATION PLAN REVIEW 
From street widening, to urban and rural roadway projects, to traffic signal updates, transit systems, 
connected and autonomous vehicles, and airport design, our focus is always on providing solutions that 
respect the local environment. Chris Eggers will be your lead for transportation related tasks under the P&D 
services request. 
 
TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC 
ENGINEERING 
We create the connections that get people and goods from here to there—whether by car, bus, train, plane, 
or their own two feet. Working within the context of the communities we serve, we provide planning, 
engineering, and infrastructure management services to fit the needs of our clients and improve the overall 
traveler experience. Stantec can help with everything from 3D interactive modeling, data collection, 
analyses, and studies; from preliminary through final design, permitting, and construction. Our depth of 
experience spans from a single intersection traffic study to road rehabilitation and design services. While 
we help create the connections that move our communities from Point A to Point B, we also help improve 
mobility through those corridors. Whether providing a feasibility study, mobility consulting, an operational 
study, or advising on the available options, we work hand in hand with our clients and stakeholders to 
analyze and move forward with the best-fit solution for their community. 
 
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 
Our environmental group, has recently had their existing County on-call for environmental services renewed 
through the year 2020. Services under this contract may include environmental site assessment/site 
investigation/ remediation, environmental engineering services, environmental air consulting services, and 
environmental assessments/environmental impact statements. A member of our team (Mannie Carpenter) 
serves on the Air Quality Technical Advisory Committee for MAG. In addition, our team is also on other on-
call environmental service contracts for the City of Phoenix (Aviation) and City of Mesa. Marty Minter will 
lead any tasks related to environmental requests from the MCESD. 
 
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE REVIEW 
Stantec is available to provide supplemental environmental services (e.g., Phase I & II ESAs, NEPA 
Environmental Assessments, etc.) and any required turn-around times for those services can be negotiated 
as an addendum to the contract. 
 
OUR TURNAROUND TIMES 
The anticipated turnaround time required for initial review of the plans and subsequent reviews, exclusive 
of pick-up and delivery time, will be in accordance with the following schedule or as directed by the building 
official. Our past record, as well as our commitment to the County, we 
will provide a quick “turnaround” time while maintaining accurate plan review without sacrificing quality. The 
fee for services may be found in Attachment D of this proposal. 
 
 
DELIVERY

SERIAL 230191-RFP 
 
Although electronic is the preferred method, Stantec will provide courier pick-up and delivery of plans at no 
additional cost. As an alternative, if courier service is unavailable, Stantec staff can be available to pick-up 
plans within four hours after notification. 
 
PROCUREMENT AND ORDERING CAPABILITY 
We have indicated our willingness to participate in the procurement and payment program by offering a 
2.0% rebate for invoices paid within 48/72 hours by procurement card, or 3.5% rebate for invoices paid 
within seven [7] business days by ACH or EFT. 
 
INTERNET ORDERING CAPABILITY 
Stantec has the capability and welcomes notification via the Internet to pick-up plans. 
 
CAPABILITY OF ATTENDING MEETINGS 
Stantec has a 25+ year history of working with the County community. We understand the key is 
developing and maintaining confidence through our technical abilities and being available to discuss issues 
with the staff and customers when necessary. We are always available to meet in person or by telephone 
to coordinate meetings at the convenience of the client. 
 
ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW SERVICES 
Stantec reviewers regularly perform electronic plan review services for several clients, including the County 
and are proficient with your online permitting system. Applicants can be assisted between reviews with 
code requirements, eliminating unnecessary confusion. Our understanding of the everchanging needs of 
the County, as well as this electronic system, has helped unburden County staff. We can help applicants 
navigate the system and educate them to the process. We are also able to directly perform reviews, make 
comments on the County server on electronic documents, and enter and invoice fees and assign required 
inspections. By eliminating the need to physically pick up and deliver plans, as well as the need to make 
hand-written comments, Stantec will save both the County and the client time and money. 
 
INSURANCE 
Stantec maintains $3,000,000 in professional liability insurance and $2,000,000 in general liability 
insurance (for each occurrence), as well as worker’s compensation and automobile insurance. Copies of

LOCAL OFFICE, LOCAL STAFFING 
Any work for this project will be mainly completed by our Chandler office located at 3133 W. Frye Road, 
Suite 300, Chandler, Arizona 85226. We anticipate that the agreed upon turnaround time and work on this 
contract will be completed in our Chandler office, or on job sites within 
the County. If additional staffing is required for civil, transportation, or environmental services outside of the 
Chandler office, staff in our Tucson office is also available. Maintaining communication is essential and we 
will contact County Staff and plan check applicants via email or phone as our primary methods of
