competent staff.
We understand the City is seeking staff to provide building plan review and building inspection services

our clients with increased efficiency as well as the ability to provide on-call staffing depending upon the
City's fluctuating needs.
CSG currently furnishes building and safety, public works, planning, fire prevention, code enforcement
and other municipal services to over 150 clients including many neighboring communities within Orange
County. We perform work solely for public agencies, eliminating the potential for conflicts of interest
(and, as such, we are unaware of any conflict of interest associated with performance of the City's
requested services). In this way, we can focus exclusively on the specific needs of our municipal clients.
We have a solutions -oriented approach to our work, leveraging our team's depth and breadth of
experience and technical expertise to rectify issues for our clients.

ground -breaking service. All paper plans submitted to CSG are immediately scanned into digitalfiles and

reviewers furnish electronic versions of their plan comments conforming to each client's established
correction list templates. Any additional forms utilized by the City for alternative methods of
construction and/or deviations from requirements, such as disabled access, will be incorporated into the
correction comments and returned with the appropriate recommendations. Plan check comments can
be delivered electronically by email or other City approved means, enabling City staff to immediately
modify CSG's checklist for incorporation with other department comments. Upon request, clients can
be provided with a set of digitally scanned plans at no cost, including convenient, "green" (paperless)
storage of all construction -related documents.
In addition, for jurisdictions requesting a pure digital plan review workflow, CSG has developed an online
web application for an applicant to submit digital files directly to us, which includes an online portal for
the applicant/jurisdiction to retrieve comments and submitted digital files with redlines. This online
portal tracks all submittals, including re -submittals until the plans have been approved.
