CSG's services include building and fire plan review and inspection, engineering design, surveying, construction management, staff augmentation, and professional planning. We provide a variety of these services to over 60 jurisdictions and governmental agencies. CSG strives to provide the highest quality of service to our clients, made up primarily of municipal agencies within California. CSG Consultants, Inc. is a California Corporation founded in 1991. Our principle focus is to provide excellent service and to develop and maintain client satisfaction. We believe that our success is re- lated to our pervasive commitment to building long-term relationships with our clients and providing a product that not only promotes but also generates and builds value in each community we serve. In addition to the services already mentioned, we provide multi -disciplinary project and construc- tion management for local agencies with an uncommon dedication to client service. Our objective is to help our clients achieve the results they desire, within budget, on time, and with an emphasis on community feedback, safety and quality of work. Our extraordinary expansion during the past four years is one indicator of our success. We have nearly 100 talented engineers, inspectors, planners, construction managers, information system technicians, estimators, architects, and community development specialists. CSG wants to be a resource for the City of San Rafael, offering our professional services and background in public service to help the City realize its goals. CSG Consultants serves as an owner's representative, managing and coordinating work to optimize efficiency and minimize potential stakeholder conflict, to achieve successful project completion. City of San Rafael I i OUR EXPERIENCE CSG is uniquely qualified to provide professional plan review services to the City of San Rafael. Our staff includes plan check and structural engineers, inspectors, and counter technicians who not only possess the necessary training and certifications in their specific practices, many have spent their professional careers in public service as building officials, inspectors, and development review/ counter technicians. All of our clients are public agencies, thus eliminating any concern of conflict of interest. Client references have been listed in this proposal. This represents a small part of our experience serving Planning and Community Development Departments throughout California. Our goal is to act as a representative of the cities and public agencies that we serve, providing respon- sive customer service to your clientele. CSG has successfully provided professional building services to departments such as yours, meet- ing the needs of our clients and the development community. When a complicated or cumbersome plan necessitates additional expertise for proper review, we do so at no additional cost to your City. Through learning, understanding, and serving your community, we can ensure that San Rafael's best interests are always protected. We are committed to the timely and cost-effective review and delivery of plans and documents outlined herein. The needs of most jurisdictions involve: • A smooth transition of contract personnel into current operations • High quality professional and technical services • Time -critical turnaround for plan review and projects • Simple solutions to everyday challenges • Follow-up support for difficult and complex projects We have proven methods to schedule effective staffing and professional services, whatever the need: management; plan review; inspection and/or counter services. CSG has developed a pro- prietary tracking system. You may also see a sample of CSG's Web -Based Plan Check through the screen captures attached in the appendix. Our website allows clients and their customers to access a plan and to determine: the date it was logged in, the date and to whom it was assigned for plan check, the number of times it has been submitted, and the status of the plan. Where ap- plicable, the program allows you to download a copy of the comments and correction list and the approved transmittal via Microsoft Word format. In addition to this, each of the plans and related documents are scanned daily upon being received at our office, allowing you and your staff to view this documentation online. CSG is experienced in the development review process. We understand how important it is for individual departments to work together to lead a successful project. Our philosophy is to work closely with all departments, divisions and agencies to eliminate redundancy and to increase effi- ciency. We understand the difficulties in interpreting code standards, and we take pride in providing solutions for your constituents. City of San Rafael 12 BUILDING PLAN REVIEW SERVICES Plan Review Comments All plan review comments are formatted to your City's established correction list template(s). If such a template does not exist, we can assist with the creation of this document. Any standard forms established by the City (i.e. request for alternate materials or methods, request for hardship exemp- tion) will be incorporated into correction comments. In addition, at the City's discretion, CSG will train City staff to implement electronic plan review and the use of our webpage to access and trans- fer plan review comments to applicants. We recognize the value of pre -design and pre -construction meetings and consultations with pro- spective applicants and can provide this service as well. Our experience suggests that our involve- ment early in the design process yields benefits in the long term. CSG feels it is necessary that we be involved in development review meetings for projects submitted to the planning review process. Utilizing this method, commercial projects can be completed months sooner, thus providing earlier revenues to businesses and the City alike. Availability Our plan checkers and engineers are available for applicant inquiries or conferences. For your con- venience, we are also available to meet with City staff, architects and applicants at City Hall. Web conferencing, fax, and conference calls are all options for off-site staff. Plan Pickup and Delivery CSG will coordinate the pickup and return of all plans sent to our office for review. We have found this to be the most efficient way to ensure security and prompt service, considering the City's pri- vacy and timeline requirements. Project Timeline We are very proud of our ability to achieve quality plan review while maintaining consistently supe- rior turnaround times. We perform virtually every plan review within the following time line: Project Type Single Family Dwellings/ Additions/ Remodels Tenant Improvements/ Commercial Projects Single Family Subdivisions Multi -Family Apartments/ Condominiums Not Longer Than Typical Recheck 10 7 5 10 10 5 10 10 5 15 15 5 While we welcome highly complex projects, turnaround times may vary. Extraordinarily complex projects, will immediately be brought to the attention of your Building Official or appointed contact. When necessary, on larger projects, a foundation -only permit may be considered for approval to assist with fast -tracking. If requested, we can assemble a team of professionals to ensure timely review for complex or sensitive projects. City of San Rafael 13 Plan Tracking Log CSG can maintain the log of all plans sent for review and communicate actions and status by fax, as re- quested. As an alternative, City of San Rafael staff may utilize our proprietary web -based tracking system. Attached as an exhibit are screen prints from our website. Accelerated Plan Review In most cases, CSG completes initial plan review in fewer than ten working days and five days for rechecks. Some plans may require expedited plan review. At your request, we will perform plan review services within an accelerated time frame negotiated on behalf of the applicant and the City's Chief Building Official. Accelerated plan review will require an additional fee to be agreed upon by the applicant and CSG. Our proposed fee to the City will remain the same. Optional Plan Check Services CSG offers services by registered civil engineers who are experienced in municipal agencies to perform plan check and peer review of geotechnical reports, grading and drainage plans, and related hydrology studies.
