B. Project Understanding and Proposed Approach
Whitchurch Engineering (WEI) reviewed the Request for Proposal, Scope of Work and 30% design drawings (100%
Schematic Drawing Set by Ren/Alexander Design) to develop our approach to this project. Our goal, as the prime
consultant, is to provide building design in accordance with the 30% design drawings that will satisfy the City of
Ukiah’s requirements and requests for the building. As a multidisciplinary engineering firm, WEI will provide
engineering for all aspects (structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and Title 24) of the tenant improvements.
WEI employs a wide range of licensed Civil Engineers, two of which possess a Master of Science degree in structural
engineering, licensed Mechanical Engineers and a licensed Electrical Engineer. Our intention is to self-perform all
of the engineering tasks with the exception of the Title 24 calculations which will be subcontracted.
The staff structure utilized to manage this project will be the following:
1.Principal/Senior Management – Senior management will perform the final quality control review
prior to sending deliverables out to the client.
2.Project manager (licensed civil engineer who formerly held a Type A California Contractor’s License)
duties will:
a.Coordinate between the client and architect, and the WEI design team
b.Provide tasks for discipline supervisors to assign
c.Provide initial scheduling information and biweekly schedule reports to the client
d.Track discipline costs
3.Discipline supervisors (Civil with emphasis in structural and MEP supervisor)
a.Coordinate with project manager, the client and the design engineers
b.Assign discrete engineering tasks to lead design engineers
c.Provide checking and verifying for each design deliverable
d.Assist with discipline specific cost benefit analysis for alternatives in design
4.Design Engineers
a.Perform task assignments as provided by the discipline supervisor
b.Perform calculations as required by design task
c.Alter/Create drawings to support calculation and design requirements
d.Provide schedule updates biweekly to support project manager
5.Drafter
a.Draft discipline specific plan sheets as requested by each design engineer (mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, structural)
b.Revise drawings per design engineer requests
c.Create electronic and paper format drawing sets for submittal

WEI works frequently with architects developing engineered construction drawings from 30% design drawings. If
selected for this project, our priority would be to assist the architect and client to select the optimal design for the
building’s final end use. We will perform this assistance by answering the following questions and analyzing the
design criteria for the client and architect to select the correct building configuration. This list of questions is
preliminary but represents our initial design approach:
1. Determine the weight (live load) that could be stored above the offices without altering the existing
concrete slab.
2. Determine the quantity of slab to be replaced to achieve a targeted storage load (125/250 psf).
3. Determine the quantity and placement of HVAC units for the proposed building configuration.
4. Determine the quantity of climate zones that can be provided with standard HVAC equipment.
5. Evaluate costs associated with selection/design of a sophisticated climate zone configuration.
6. Identify potential subpanel locations.
The project flow will follow this outline:
1. Preliminary information gathering
2. Configuration decision making based on preliminary information gathering
3. Preparation of 60% construction documents which includes structural calculations and drawings as well
as mechanical, electrical and plumbing calculations and drawings.
4. Architect and Client confirmation review (approx. 1 week duration)
5. Preparation of 95% final design construction documents
6. Submittal of 95% final design construction documents to Building Department
7. Plan check response
8. Resubmittal of 100% final design construction documents
9. Issuance of Building Permit/ Bidding
10. Construction begins
After the preliminary design information is gathered and configuration decisions are confirmed, creation of the
final design construction documents will be initiated. The project manager will provide biweekly project updates
to ensure the drawings and other documentation are progressing appropriately. At the 60% level of completion,
each discipline will submit its drawing set to the project manager to confirm design intent and verify that the
architect and client design requirements are satisfied. This review of drawings by the client and architect will be
allocated one week of review time to maintain the schedule. The specific disciplines may submit their drawings on
a staggered time line. After the client and architect review of the 60% drawings, comments will be addressed and
the final design construction drawings will be taken to the 95% level of completion and submitted to the building
department. Plan check comments will be addressed. Final design construction documents will be issued.

G. Exceptions
1. RFP - Attachment A, Insurance Requirements for Consultants: General Liability (GL) insurance requires
“operations, products and completed operations, as applicable”. This requested GL coverage applies more
to companies that manufacture/sell products and/or perform construction or installation at clients’ homes
or business. As engineers we provide a professional service and this type of coverage is more appropriate
under our Professional Liability. If awarded the project, WEI would request this coverage be removed from
the GL requirements.
2. Also, for Insurance, the request to cover volunteers as additional insured is too broad. Our GL would be
vulnerable as the work we are providing would not encompass the use of volunteers. Volunteers may be
utilized at a different capacity by other organizations however, as engineers we cannot control who is
onsite and should not be responsible for the actions of others beyond our control. Our GL is typically
written to cover The City, its officers, officials, and employees only and we would ask for volunteers to be
removed from this requirement.
