Scope of Services (continued) Plan checked documents are returned to the City. The plan checked plans and specifications are logged out by the project manager and returned to the City, either as a hard copy or electronic format, along with the plan check checklist, if appropriate. A transmittal will be included to the City stating that the 1 st, 2nd, or 3rd plan check has been completed, whether or not the plans are recommended for approval, or if a subsequent review is required. The plans, conditions of approval, City documents, and transmittal will be delivered to the City of Santa Ana. Communication with City staff. RJM will be available to meet with City staff and/or the applicant, to communicate plan check comments and resolve issues. Communication may also occur via email or telephone to answer questions of staff or the applicant. Plan Check fees are based on our standard hourly rates. Plan check fees are based on our standard hourly billing rates for the Principal, Project Managers, and Irrigation Designer. The same standard hourly rates apply to all aspects of plan review, i.e. preliminary plan check, construction documents, rechecks, revisions to approved plans, inspections, re -inspections, pick-up and delivery of plans. Plan Check Schedule: Plan check services are to be provided based on the City's requested time frame. Normally, two weeks is required for the initial review and one week is sufficient for turnaround on subsequent plan check reviews. In those instances where the City may submit multiple plan checks for review simultaneously, we will make every effort to turnaround multiple plan checks within the two -week turnaround period. However, as with all plan checks, the expediency with which plans are reviewed depends on the plans themselves —the size of the drawing package, the legibility of the plans, organization of the drawings and the quality and completeness of the plans. In addition, we always maintain open communication between our contacts on City Staff and the RJM plan check team. If we receive multiple plan checks for review simultaneously, we will discuss with City Staff how the reviews should be prioritized, how RJM can best accommodate the City's schedule, and our estimated timeframe for plan check return. INSPECTION SERVICES Our comprehensive inspection services include: Field review of the project site conducted by RJM's site inspection landscape architect at the request of City staff. Field review of landscape improvements on -site during the plan check process or at the completion of construction to verify that landscape and irrigation installation is in compliance with the design plans, performed by our site inspection landscape architect.
