Project Approach
All building plan review including, ADA, code compliance, architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy
and structural engineering will be conducted by CSG staff and sub -consultants team. The electrical,
mechanical, plumbing and energy conservation aspects will be reviewed by our sub -consultants TTG.
Our staff of licensed structural engineers will also be assisted by A.T. Merovich & Associates in
reviewing seismic and base isolation design related to the structure. All project plan reviews will be
exclusively channeled through our state-of-the-art digital plan review system (GreenVue), expediting
the plan review process as well as eliminating the need for paper submittals. Any paper plans
submitted to CSG will be immediately scanned into digital files and stored on our servers for speedy
access to both the applicants and our plan reviewers. Our plan reviewers furnish electronic versions of
their plan comments conforming to the projects prescribed formats. It is our understanding that all fire
and life safety related issues will be excluded from the scope of our review however fire life safety
issues will have to be coordinated with other elements of the design.
GreenVue allows for complete project tracking and documents the review process in through a web
based system. Applicants have 24/7 access to all plan reviews submitted and performed so status of
any review is immediately known. The system provides automatic email notifications to key parties at
milestones in the review process, so no time is lost in communication or in shipping comments back -
and -forth. Our review staff has the technical support, tools, and technical expertise to review and
coordinate all project reviews at the highest level.

the web upon completion of the plan review. There is no additional cost for this service.
CASp Services
We understand California Building Departments are required to have a CASp certified
person in place and available for technical questions and interpretations. Our CASp
certified staff are knowledgeable of state and federal accessibility laws and
regulations and possesses the expertise necessary to promote access to facilities for
persons with disabilities. In accordance with newly -formed rules and regulations, we
can supply a CASp certified professional to review all plans for accessibility and will
comply with regulations to provide a sufficient number of building department staff who are CASP
certified by January 1, 2014.
Mike Loomis, SE, PE, LEED, CASP, is highly certified in multiple disciplines as a DSA Certified Access
Specialist, a Certified Building Official and Master Code Professional with demonstrated skills in
enforcing a full range of state codes as well as specifications and standards.
His work as a CASp professional involves many years ensuring compliance with California accessibility
requirements found in the California the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Standards for Accessible
Design and Chapter 11 of the California Building Code, providing expertise to public agencies, homeowners,
architects, developers and contractors in the development of plans and review and comments on site-
specific issues related to accessibility. Specific attention is given to assisting in compliance with CBC Chapter
11B and ADA design standards for maximum accessibility for all new and existing construction.
His CASp evaluations, assessments and inspections include elements such as routes of travel from/to public
transportation (if adjacent to the property line), routes of travel from/to the public right-of-way, parking,
passenger drop-off and loading zones, walks and sidewalks, curb ramps, ramps, entrances and exits,
horizontal/vertical access, lobbies, elevators, platform (wheelchair) lifts, doors and gates, toilet rooms,
signage, counters, waiting and seating areas, public telephones, drinking fountains, alarms, assistive listening
systems, and access to and through all rooms and spaces. Plan review comments are generated after the
review has been completed, including all requirements needed to provide a CASp certification. Specialized
reports are generated pinpointing any issues or challenges with succinct, understandable comments. A
proactive approach to all discussions and required documents will move the project quickly toward
completion.
Project Meetings
Our lead plan reviewers Paul Armstrong will be available for the weekly project meetings to be held
at the project site. If additional meetings are necessary these can be facilitated by video conference
calls or audio conference calls. Our team is available to serve this project and it will be our highest
priority.
Turnaround Times
We anticipate project submittals will be broken down into manageable portions and phases; the first
review of any portion of plans will be completed within 10 days in the second review or subsequent

Experience: Dr. Aiken has twenty years of experience in earthquake, structural and civil
engineering. Specialist areas encompass eleven years of experience in the field of
seismic isolation, and nine years of experience in the field of passive energy
dissipation for seismic structural control. His interest and activities in the field of
seismic isolation began in 1984, with involvement on two full-scale field tests of
isolated bridges in New Zealand. Since then he has been extensively involved in
-- ---- research activities -in- the -field.T-hese-have-i-ncluded more -than -15 -experimental studies
of the dynamic characteristics of elastomeric seismic isolation bearings, and 4
earthquake simulator studies of the performance of different isolated structures. In
1986 he developed an interest in the field of structural control, and it was in this area,
passive energy dissipation for seismic structural control, that he received his Ph.D. in
1990. His research work involved the earthquake simulator testing and analytical
studies of a large structural frame with two different types of passive damping
systems. He is familiar with various seismic design requirements including the
Uniform Building Code, the SEAOC Blue Book and the New Zealand seismic code.
He has published more than 70 technical papers and reports related to earthquake
engineering, primarily in the fields of isolation and passive energy dissipation for
seismic structural control.
