With our extensive experience working with city planning, <br />engineering, fire, environmental health, and public works staff, we have developed a sound <br />understanding of the city's procedures and phitosophy which is focused on meeting the needs of the <br />clients. <br />We have a team of ICC-certified plans examiners available to work on the project immediately. Since we <br />have personnel who specialize in and are fully dedicated to municipal plan review and inspection <br />services, the request for Third-Party Construction Plan Review/Inspection Services are specialties of our <br />firm and not subordinate to design, engineering, or construction tasks. <br />Commercial and Multi-family Experience <br />The Bureau Veritas Texas team is currently working on several commercial and multi-family <br />developments with a combined construction valuation exceeding one (1) billion dollars. Because of our <br />depth of experience on such projects, we understand the critical need to work closely with City staff and <br />the Owner and their design and construction team to fast-track the plan review process consistent with <br />the requirements of City of Paris' adopted codes and design review procedures. This experience, along <br />with a strong and qualified team, was essential to meeting the ambitious deadlines of our many projects <br />throughout North America. During the course of construction, BV accommodated and met tight deadlines <br />for reviews of the foundation. We also evaluated alternate means and methods requests in our code <br />analysis of the building structures. As part of our services, BV worked diligently with the design and <br />construction team on phased submittals. <br />A High Level of Responsiveness <br />We understand that some projects may be a fast-track projects requiring a high level of responsiveness. <br />Our solutions as outlined in the plan review performance standards will carefully be re-engineered as <br />necessary to ensure that the projects stays on schedule. We will work with the City to resolve any <br />deviations from referenced codes in a proactive manner. There will be a key contact person assigned to <br />each function; however, we have multiple certified individuals designated in the plan review division. <br />BV will work within the City's system to create an extension of its staff. Clarifications of comments on <br />code sections or review comments can be answered directly by BV, thus providing the customer quick <br />resolution of the items so review can be completed without burdening the city. <br />Web-Based Comprehensive Project Tracking <br />Construction projects require a solid and secure project tracking tool or software. We have a web-based <br />project tracking system, Bureau Veritas Application Suite, which offers comprehensive features to easily <br />record, process, track, and report all phases of the plan review process. BV Application Suite provides an <br />effective tool to issue and track a variety of permits and associated administrative, plan review, and <br />inspections tasks. Various city departments can use this system to record and track all tasks from <br />preliminary review to final approval. <br />Plan Review Procedure Implementation <br />Consistency, responsiveness, and efficiency of our plan review team are key components of our <br />approach. <br />BV [&F NA_#5 (Rev. 5.1.2006) <br />Page6of9 <br />
