WHAT THEY WANT

(Summarized from the RFP)

The City of Fountain Valley is seeking one qualified consulting firm to provide on-call engineering geology and geotechnical engineering review services for development projects submitted to the City. The selected consultant will give City staff specialized technical expertise for reviewing geotechnical reports, engineering geology reports and related technical documents, working primarily with the Community Development Department and its Building Division. The City currently requires geotechnical reports for certain development projects, including new structures and additions larger than 1,200 square feet, and has historically sent every such report to a consulting geotechnical engineer for independent review. It is now moving toward a targeted, risk-based approach. Routine reports would be checked by City staff for completeness and general code applicability, while the Building Official would refer a report to the on-call consultant when project complexity, site conditions, unusual recommendations or specialized foundation systems warrant additional professional review. The goal is to keep appropriate technical oversight and public safety while speeding permit processing and avoiding unneeded review costs.
