represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and

have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of

the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or the
Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Consultant from any

RE: 2021-RFQ-008; RFQ for Plan Check/Building Inspection Services
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal to provide Plan Check/Building Inspection
Services; it is a pleasure to submit our qualifications to the Town of Fountain Hills. We are confident that
Shums Coda Associates (SCA) is the firm that has the personnel, experience, and attitude that will be
required to successfully provide these “as-needed” services to the Town of Fountain Hills.
We are committed to a vision of service excellence that we believe the Town of Fountain Hills shares. Our
firm continually receives exceptional reviews from our jurisdictional clients, as well as design
professionals, developers and contractors from all size projects and varying complexities. Positive
interactions related to our work product is centered in our desire to be more than a mere consultant plan
review, inspection, and permit processing firm, but rather a contributing partner, functioning as an
extension of Town’s staff. We look to see that projects are successfully completed, on time, within budget,
and a reflection of the Town’s codes, ordinances procedures, policies, and directives. A key in those
efforts is the ability to create a solid working relationship with your jurisdiction to assist with all aspects
outlined in the RFQ document. SCA understands the scope of services to be provided extends beyond
technical code expertise, and why our team’s overall ability and qualifications will exceed the minimums
being requested; which in turn makes us a good fit to meet the Town’s desires to relieve the peaks in
overall projects under review or inspection. The following SOQ will highlight key features and
distinguishing points of the SCA team that will assist in this undertaking.
SCA was founded on the principal of assisting our municipal partners with staff augmentation and
developmental services related to construction review, permitting, inspections and documentation
procedures. SCA is committed and ready to provide you with the same care and standard of technical
excellence that has been the hallmark of our work since our inception. We intend to provide primary
services from our Arizona regional office at 1616 North Litchfield Road, Suite A-210, Goodyear, AZ
85395, with additional support staff being provided from our headquarters and other regional offices.
If SCA is fortunate enough to be awarded this contract, we intend to meet and confer with the Town of
Fountain Hills’s management team to determine the proper members of our staff needed to complete the
services outlined in the RFQ. We will perform the services and adhere to the requirements described in
this RFQ. Our team looks forward to answering any additional questions you may have about our firm
after you have reviewed this response to the request for qualifications.

Shums Coda Associates was established in 2006 (16 years of business in March, 2022), by licensed
building professionals with multiple decades of municipal consulting experience. Our core services are
building life-safety code reviews, inspections and administrative staffing, on behalf of only jurisdictional
clients. We review and inspect all facets of design construction related to code minimums and local
amendments, such as: architectural, accessibility, structural, fire-safety, energy, sustainability, mechanical,
electrical and plumbing; and have staff to assist with the intake, recording and permitting of construction
documents. By selecting Shums Coda Associates, the Town of Fountain Hills will receive an experienced,
knowledgeable team with a proven track record of outstanding service. In providing these services, our
priority is to be a seamless extension of your staff. We therefore commit to being available for code
consultations, on-time delivery of services, and providing cost-effectiveness to the Town through the
utilization of focused staff augmentation.
We are comprised of licensed architects, engineers, contractors and I.C.C. Certified personnel that have a
wealth of code knowledge and experience in design or construction related fields. SCA believes that an
understanding of how buildings are designed and constructed is an important element to providing
effective code comments that are based on the realities of practical construction. SCA preaches this to our
staff and encourages continuing education to maintain our understanding of the ever-changing code
requirements and amendments. We have seen there can be a great deal of interpretation applied to how
requirements are enforced, so SCA staff continues to find value in learning the history and intent of code
language to assist with accurately applying it to our review and inspections (with final determinations
clearly coming from the Town staff).
Shums Coda Associates takes this commitment to code content further, as we continue to expand our
involvement in various code training and education offerings. For example, SCA continues to participate
in the AZBO Education Board and training and provide similar roles and leadership to the Southern
Nevada ICC EduCode training event, Utah ABM and Chapter training, and the Sacramento Valley
Association of Building Official Minstitute annual event. At the end of 2020, Shums Coda Associates was

General Information
also fortunate to acquire the Colorado Code Consulting company that was owned by Mr. Steve Thomas,
who provides national education and training offerings throughout the United States. This demonstrates
SCA’s commitment to knowledge through education with all things related to the model Building Codes.
Our belief is that code should be understood by our staff to a level where they can explain to our clients
(and their applicants), as well as the how and why it applies to their specific project. We strive to meet this
level with our reviews and inspections, and we continue to offer on-line, or in-person training, to improve
that code understanding internally with our staff and the industry.
With regional offices throughout Arizona (Goodyear), California (Sacramento/Oceanside), Nevada (Las
Vegas), Utah (St. George/Murray) and Colorado (Denver), you will find SCA has nearly one-hundred
employees available to assist the Town of Fountain Hills with plan review and inspection needs outlined
in the RFQ. Our preference is to utilize local staff to provide the plan review services, but with the
Coronavirus pandemic, we have expanded our electronic plan review capacity to be able to review projects
from any of our offices. This will mean that we can provide even greater degree of expertise for unusual
systems related to structural, mechanical, plumbing or electrical, as well as accessibility or sustainability
reviews. It also affords us the ability to utilize staff from all locations to ensure that reviews are completed
on timelines established by the Town. We have been providing electronic plan reviews for many years
now, and are comfortable with reviewing plans under several formats. We have also provided inspection
services via electronic devices, and are capable of completing inspections remotely, or via drone, if desired
by the Town. SCA looks forward to continuing that discussion related to software, hardware and process
the Town uses currently (or would like to implement), as part of our next step in this response to the RFQ.
Our standard plan review and inspections result in lists of comments which refer to specific detail, drawing
or location in the building, and reference applicable code sections for each item cited. We prefer (if allowed
by the Town policies) to expedite or clarify plan review items by contacting the applicant/designers and
communicating directly, using the most advantageous media available, to resolve issues. Similarly, we
encourage our inspectors to be available for contractor/owners to answer the phone calls of clarification for
specific correction items. In today’s development climate a brief phone call, or a thirty-minute online
meeting can save weeks of back-and-forth delays to obtain minimum code compliance and approvals. We
understand that there can be limitations in the applicant’s technology or jurisdictional inter-department
review process, which sometimes prohibit these methods from being implemented with every project. With
either approach being implemented, SCA understands and intends to route all communication/comment
letters (first or concurrently) through Town of Fountain Hills, as directed by your staff. All reviewed and
approved documents shall be returned to the Town after the plan review or inspection process is completed,
and input into the tracking software as directed by Fountain Hills staff.
This should demonstrate Shums Coda Associates experience with the plan review and inspection services
outlined in the Fountain Hills RFQ. We are a large enough corporation, that we do not typically utilize any
sub-consultants to complete these services, and do not anticipate using any for the services requested.
We will also note that in our nearly sixteen years of business, we have not had any contract or subcontract
terminated. Further, we have had no claims arising from a contract that resulted in litigation or arbitration
since our inception as a corporation.

Key Positions
SCA will utilize our local Arizona staff to fill key personnel roles requested in the RFQ. Our Arizona
Regional Manager, Ms. Barbara Rice, CBO/FM, will serve as the local point of contact and Project
Manager for the Fountain Hills services. Further, our CEO and Arizona licensed architect, Mr. David
Basinger and our COO, Ms. Christine Godinez, will be additional points of contact for technical assistance
(as needed) and contract/invoicing information. The day-to-day team is proposed to be as follows:
A. Support Team – Justine Cornelius, Lisa O’Malley will be the primary and local plans examiner
managers for Fountain Hills. We will also utilize senior plans examiners Martin Haeberle, Tom Haney
and Myron Williams as additional review team members for Fountain Hills, as they have all provided
extensive plan reviews in the Valley of the Sun for decades. All of these staff members are full-time
employees of SCA.
B. Additional Support staff – Although all of the Shums Coda Associates family will be collectively
available to provide these services to Fountain Hills, we anticipate (as is our preference) to primarily
utilize our systems specific plan review team for additional plan review support. Therefore, David
Logsdon, Russ Mora or Dean Kuenzi are available for electrical systems review. We have Jason Van
Ausdal and Jody Hilton to review mechanical and plumbing systems, and Hope Media or Gil Rossmiller
to assist with energy compliance issues. Finally, we have a large structural engineering team to assist
on engineering issues, headed by our Project Engineer Kurt McMullin, and additional engineer plan
check staff of Su Fong, Mariam Umair or Ryan Loh.
C. SCA does not anticipate utilizing any subcontractor for any of the proposed services in the RFQ.
D. We will provide additional resume/certifications for the rest of our staff and key inspectors for the
Fountain Hills work. We have not designated a specific inspector currently for these services, as we
would need to discuss number of inspection hours needed for the services, and what would be
considered appropriate certification and experience for our inspection team. SCA would then select
from our local team the personnel that we believe would be a good fit for inspections, and anticipate an
interview from Town staff prior to assigning them to complete the work. It is our belief that working
within the jurisdiction requires an understanding of the role and acceptance by the Town staff they will
interact with, prior to ever completing an inspection.
Inspections are all conducted by ICC certified inspectors. The inspections will be completed within one
business day from the time we receive the request. We believe in being service oriented and not the building
police. We will work with the contractors and homeowners to bring a building into compliance with the
applicable code whenever we can. It is our philosophy that inspections are educational opportunities to
explain the purpose of the code and why certain things are required by the code. We will spend additional
time explaining the purpose of a code requirement whenever necessary.
Our inspectors provide their cell phone numbers to the contractors and homeowners if a question arises in
the field. It is important the lines of communication are maintained open. We want to do whatever we can
to ensure safe buildings while helping to get project completed on time and under budget. We pride
ourselves on being problem solvers and not problem makers. Our goal is to get to yes and comply with the
intent of the code.
SCA will provide emergency disaster response when required. We will utilize the ATC-20 rapid assessment
process to evaluate the habitability of a structure. We will post the property with the appropriate placard to
indicate whether the building can be occupied or not.

Project Review Timeline
SCA’s plan review reports will reference sheets and code sections that are applicable form each comment.
We would typically email the electronic reviews to the Town for distribution to the applicant, but we can
also directly/simultaneously provide the owner, contractor, architect and/or the engineer with the same
electronic list of items needing correction. Our comment lists should be self-explanatory, but our review
team will remain available during working hours (and often off-hours) to provide any additional
clarification/discussion needed of the applicable building code section, ordinances, or regulation.
We will provide a similar list at each cycle of the review process, but typically most reviews are resolved
in one or two cycles, with perhaps a quick third review of a remaining comment (or two). When a review
remains extensive at a third (or longer) review cycle, SCA staff will reach out to the Town of Fountain Hills
staff to discuss the overall items of concern and look for direction on any alternative methods to keep the
project review moving in a positive direction. With these difficult reviews, SCA is not opposed to online
video conferences to share and discuss the code concerns with the Town of Fountain Hills’s staff and the
applicant – hopefully to assist in receiving a more complete resubmittal with the next review.
With each review cycle, SCA will provide a cover letter/transmittal that includes the following information:
• The address, Town permit number, description, use, and type of construction.
• A list of all plans and documents received for review and the associated dates they were received.
Once the final plan review is completed and ready for approval, SCA will electronically stamp the plans
and the supporting documents and return them to the Town, along with our letter of completion. It should
be noted that our approval stamp can be modified to suit the desired information needed by the Town of
Fountain Hills.
Shums Coda is proficient in many various electronic plan review and web-based tools. We typically utilize
the Bluebeam product for our reviews but can provide our review comments on any of the other comparable
platforms, and even embed the comments into the electronic plan sheets (if desired). SCA would look to
the Town of Fountain Hills to provide guidance on the preferred method of electronic comments to be
received. However, it should be noted that SCA can also review paper plans when submitted. In those
instances, we would provide courier to pick-up and drop-off the plans at the Town offices (as needed).
Type of Plan Review Timeframes
Initial Review Recheck
Single-Family 7-10 business days 5 business days
Multi-Family 10-15 business days* 5 business days
Commercial 10-15 business days* 7 business days*
* Some project may require additional time because of size or complexity of the project; SCA would
reserve the right to review those projects under a longer schedule when mutually agreed upon with the
Town of Fountain Hills (prior to the beginning the review process). However, we pride ourselves to be
able to customize our services to fit the Town’s needs and could potentially expedite reviews when
requested.

RE: 2021-RFQ-008; RFQ for Plan Check/Building Inspection Services
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal to provide Plan Check/Building Inspection
Services; it is a pleasure to submit our qualifications to the Town of Fountain Hills. We are confident that
Shums Coda Associates (SCA) is the firm that has the personnel, experience, and attitude that will be
required to successfully provide these “as-needed” services to the Town of Fountain Hills.
We are committed to a vision of service excellence that we believe the Town of Fountain Hills shares. Our
firm continually receives exceptional reviews from our jurisdictional clients, as well as design
professionals, developers and contractors from all size projects and varying complexities. Positive
interactions related to our work product is centered in our desire to be more than a mere consultant plan
review, inspection, and permit processing firm, but rather a contributing partner, functioning as an
extension of Town’s staff. We look to see that projects are successfully completed, on time, within budget,
and a reflection of the Town’s codes, ordinances procedures, policies, and directives. A key in those
efforts is the ability to create a solid working relationship with your jurisdiction to assist with all aspects
outlined in the RFQ document. SCA understands the scope of services to be provided extends beyond
technical code expertise, and why our team’s overall ability and qualifications will exceed the minimums
being requested; which in turn makes us a good fit to meet the Town’s desires to relieve the peaks in
overall projects under review or inspection. The following SOQ will highlight key features and
distinguishing points of the SCA team that will assist in this undertaking.
SCA was founded on the principal of assisting our municipal partners with staff augmentation and
developmental services related to construction review, permitting, inspections and documentation
procedures. SCA is committed and ready to provide you with the same care and standard of technical
excellence that has been the hallmark of our work since our inception. We intend to provide primary
services from our Arizona regional office at 1616 North Litchfield Road, Suite A-210, Goodyear, AZ
85395, with additional support staff being provided from our headquarters and other regional offices.
If SCA is fortunate enough to be awarded this contract, we intend to meet and confer with the Town of
Fountain Hills’s management team to determine the proper members of our staff needed to complete the
services outlined in the RFQ. We will perform the services and adhere to the requirements described in
this RFQ. Our team looks forward to answering any additional questions you may have about our firm
after you have reviewed this response to the request for qualifications.

Shums Coda Associates was established in 2006 (16 years of business in March, 2022), by licensed
building professionals with multiple decades of municipal consulting experience. Our core services are
building life-safety code reviews, inspections and administrative staffing, on behalf of only jurisdictional
clients. We review and inspect all facets of design construction related to code minimums and local
amendments, such as: architectural, accessibility, structural, fire-safety, energy, sustainability, mechanical,
electrical and plumbing; and have staff to assist with the intake, recording and permitting of construction
documents. By selecting Shums Coda Associates, the Town of Fountain Hills will receive an experienced,
knowledgeable team with a proven track record of outstanding service. In providing these services, our
priority is to be a seamless extension of your staff. We therefore commit to being available for code
consultations, on-time delivery of services, and providing cost-effectiveness to the Town through the
utilization of focused staff augmentation.
We are comprised of licensed architects, engineers, contractors and I.C.C. Certified personnel that have a
wealth of code knowledge and experience in design or construction related fields. SCA believes that an
understanding of how buildings are designed and constructed is an important element to providing
effective code comments that are based on the realities of practical construction. SCA preaches this to our
staff and encourages continuing education to maintain our understanding of the ever-changing code
requirements and amendments. We have seen there can be a great deal of interpretation applied to how
requirements are enforced, so SCA staff continues to find value in learning the history and intent of code
language to assist with accurately applying it to our review and inspections (with final determinations
clearly coming from the Town staff).
Shums Coda Associates takes this commitment to code content further, as we continue to expand our
involvement in various code training and education offerings. For example, SCA continues to participate
in the AZBO Education Board and training and provide similar roles and leadership to the Southern
Nevada ICC EduCode training event, Utah ABM and Chapter training, and the Sacramento Valley
Association of Building Official Minstitute annual event. At the end of 2020, Shums Coda Associates was

General Information
also fortunate to acquire the Colorado Code Consulting company that was owned by Mr. Steve Thomas,
who provides national education and training offerings throughout the United States. This demonstrates
SCA’s commitment to knowledge through education with all things related to the model Building Codes.
Our belief is that code should be understood by our staff to a level where they can explain to our clients
(and their applicants), as well as the how and why it applies to their specific project. We strive to meet this
level with our reviews and inspections, and we continue to offer on-line, or in-person training, to improve
that code understanding internally with our staff and the industry.
With regional offices throughout Arizona (Goodyear), California (Sacramento/Oceanside), Nevada (Las
Vegas), Utah (St. George/Murray) and Colorado (Denver), you will find SCA has nearly one-hundred
employees available to assist the Town of Fountain Hills with plan review and inspection needs outlined
in the RFQ. Our preference is to utilize local staff to provide the plan review services, but with the
Coronavirus pandemic, we have expanded our electronic plan review capacity to be able to review projects
from any of our offices. This will mean that we can provide even greater degree of expertise for unusual
systems related to structural, mechanical, plumbing or electrical, as well as accessibility or sustainability
reviews. It also affords us the ability to utilize staff from all locations to ensure that reviews are completed
on timelines established by the Town. We have been providing electronic plan reviews for many years
now, and are comfortable with reviewing plans under several formats. We have also provided inspection
services via electronic devices, and are capable of completing inspections remotely, or via drone, if desired
by the Town. SCA looks forward to continuing that discussion related to software, hardware and process
the Town uses currently (or would like to implement), as part of our next step in this response to the RFQ.
Our standard plan review and inspections result in lists of comments which refer to specific detail, drawing
or location in the building, and reference applicable code sections for each item cited. We prefer (if allowed
by the Town policies) to expedite or clarify plan review items by contacting the applicant/designers and
communicating directly, using the most advantageous media available, to resolve issues. Similarly, we
encourage our inspectors to be available for contractor/owners to answer the phone calls of clarification for
specific correction items. In today’s development climate a brief phone call, or a thirty-minute online
meeting can save weeks of back-and-forth delays to obtain minimum code compliance and approvals. We
understand that there can be limitations in the applicant’s technology or jurisdictional inter-department
review process, which sometimes prohibit these methods from being implemented with every project. With
either approach being implemented, SCA understands and intends to route all communication/comment
letters (first or concurrently) through Town of Fountain Hills, as directed by your staff. All reviewed and
approved documents shall be returned to the Town after the plan review or inspection process is completed,
and input into the tracking software as directed by Fountain Hills staff.
This should demonstrate Shums Coda Associates experience with the plan review and inspection services
outlined in the Fountain Hills RFQ. We are a large enough corporation, that we do not typically utilize any
sub-consultants to complete these services, and do not anticipate using any for the services requested.
We will also note that in our nearly sixteen years of business, we have not had any contract or subcontract
terminated. Further, we have had no claims arising from a contract that resulted in litigation or arbitration
since our inception as a corporation.

Key Positions
SCA will utilize our local Arizona staff to fill key personnel roles requested in the RFQ. Our Arizona
Regional Manager, Ms. Barbara Rice, CBO/FM, will serve as the local point of contact and Project
Manager for the Fountain Hills services. Further, our CEO and Arizona licensed architect, Mr. David
Basinger and our COO, Ms. Christine Godinez, will be additional points of contact for technical assistance
(as needed) and contract/invoicing information. The day-to-day team is proposed to be as follows:
A. Support Team – Justine Cornelius, Lisa O’Malley will be the primary and local plans examiner
managers for Fountain Hills. We will also utilize senior plans examiners Martin Haeberle, Tom Haney
and Myron Williams as additional review team members for Fountain Hills, as they have all provided
extensive plan reviews in the Valley of the Sun for decades. All of these staff members are full-time
employees of SCA.
B. Additional Support staff – Although all of the Shums Coda Associates family will be collectively
available to provide these services to Fountain Hills, we anticipate (as is our preference) to primarily
utilize our systems specific plan review team for additional plan review support. Therefore, David
Logsdon, Russ Mora or Dean Kuenzi are available for electrical systems review. We have Jason Van
Ausdal and Jody Hilton to review mechanical and plumbing systems, and Hope Media or Gil Rossmiller
to assist with energy compliance issues. Finally, we have a large structural engineering team to assist
on engineering issues, headed by our Project Engineer Kurt McMullin, and additional engineer plan
check staff of Su Fong, Mariam Umair or Ryan Loh.
C. SCA does not anticipate utilizing any subcontractor for any of the proposed services in the RFQ.
D. We will provide additional resume/certifications for the rest of our staff and key inspectors for the
Fountain Hills work. We have not designated a specific inspector currently for these services, as we
would need to discuss number of inspection hours needed for the services, and what would be
considered appropriate certification and experience for our inspection team. SCA would then select
from our local team the personnel that we believe would be a good fit for inspections, and anticipate an
interview from Town staff prior to assigning them to complete the work. It is our belief that working
within the jurisdiction requires an understanding of the role and acceptance by the Town staff they will
interact with, prior to ever completing an inspection.
Inspections are all conducted by ICC certified inspectors. The inspections will be completed within one
business day from the time we receive the request. We believe in being service oriented and not the building
police. We will work with the contractors and homeowners to bring a building into compliance with the
applicable code whenever we can. It is our philosophy that inspections are educational opportunities to
explain the purpose of the code and why certain things are required by the code. We will spend additional
time explaining the purpose of a code requirement whenever necessary.
Our inspectors provide their cell phone numbers to the contractors and homeowners if a question arises in
the field. It is important the lines of communication are maintained open. We want to do whatever we can
to ensure safe buildings while helping to get project completed on time and under budget. We pride
ourselves on being problem solvers and not problem makers. Our goal is to get to yes and comply with the
intent of the code.
SCA will provide emergency disaster response when required. We will utilize the ATC-20 rapid assessment
process to evaluate the habitability of a structure. We will post the property with the appropriate placard to
indicate whether the building can be occupied or not.

Project Review Timeline
SCA’s plan review reports will reference sheets and code sections that are applicable form each comment.
We would typically email the electronic reviews to the Town for distribution to the applicant, but we can
also directly/simultaneously provide the owner, contractor, architect and/or the engineer with the same
electronic list of items needing correction. Our comment lists should be self-explanatory, but our review
team will remain available during working hours (and often off-hours) to provide any additional
clarification/discussion needed of the applicable building code section, ordinances, or regulation.
We will provide a similar list at each cycle of the review process, but typically most reviews are resolved
in one or two cycles, with perhaps a quick third review of a remaining comment (or two). When a review
remains extensive at a third (or longer) review cycle, SCA staff will reach out to the Town of Fountain Hills
staff to discuss the overall items of concern and look for direction on any alternative methods to keep the
project review moving in a positive direction. With these difficult reviews, SCA is not opposed to online
video conferences to share and discuss the code concerns with the Town of Fountain Hills’s staff and the
applicant – hopefully to assist in receiving a more complete resubmittal with the next review.
With each review cycle, SCA will provide a cover letter/transmittal that includes the following information:
• The address, Town permit number, description, use, and type of construction.
• A list of all plans and documents received for review and the associated dates they were received.
Once the final plan review is completed and ready for approval, SCA will electronically stamp the plans
and the supporting documents and return them to the Town, along with our letter of completion. It should
be noted that our approval stamp can be modified to suit the desired information needed by the Town of
Fountain Hills.
Shums Coda is proficient in many various electronic plan review and web-based tools. We typically utilize
the Bluebeam product for our reviews but can provide our review comments on any of the other comparable
platforms, and even embed the comments into the electronic plan sheets (if desired). SCA would look to
the Town of Fountain Hills to provide guidance on the preferred method of electronic comments to be
received. However, it should be noted that SCA can also review paper plans when submitted. In those
instances, we would provide courier to pick-up and drop-off the plans at the Town offices (as needed).
Type of Plan Review Timeframes
Initial Review Recheck
Single-Family 7-10 business days 5 business days
Multi-Family 10-15 business days* 5 business days
Commercial 10-15 business days* 7 business days*
* Some project may require additional time because of size or complexity of the project; SCA would
reserve the right to review those projects under a longer schedule when mutually agreed upon with the
Town of Fountain Hills (prior to the beginning the review process). However, we pride ourselves to be
able to customize our services to fit the Town’s needs and could potentially expedite reviews when
requested.

RE: 2021-RFQ-008; RFQ for Plan Check/Building Inspection Services
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal to provide Plan Check/Building Inspection
Services; it is a pleasure to submit our qualifications to the Town of Fountain Hills. We are confident that
Shums Coda Associates (SCA) is the firm that has the personnel, experience, and attitude that will be
required to successfully provide these “as-needed” services to the Town of Fountain Hills.
We are committed to a vision of service excellence that we believe the Town of Fountain Hills shares. Our
firm continually receives exceptional reviews from our jurisdictional clients, as well as design
professionals, developers and contractors from all size projects and varying complexities. Positive
interactions related to our work product is centered in our desire to be more than a mere consultant plan
review, inspection, and permit processing firm, but rather a contributing partner, functioning as an
extension of Town’s staff. We look to see that projects are successfully completed, on time, within budget,
and a reflection of the Town’s codes, ordinances procedures, policies, and directives. A key in those
efforts is the ability to create a solid working relationship with your jurisdiction to assist with all aspects
outlined in the RFQ document. SCA understands the scope of services to be provided extends beyond
technical code expertise, and why our team’s overall ability and qualifications will exceed the minimums
being requested; which in turn makes us a good fit to meet the Town’s desires to relieve the peaks in
overall projects under review or inspection. The following SOQ will highlight key features and
distinguishing points of the SCA team that will assist in this undertaking.
SCA was founded on the principal of assisting our municipal partners with staff augmentation and
developmental services related to construction review, permitting, inspections and documentation
procedures. SCA is committed and ready to provide you with the same care and standard of technical
excellence that has been the hallmark of our work since our inception. We intend to provide primary
services from our Arizona regional office at 1616 North Litchfield Road, Suite A-210, Goodyear, AZ
85395, with additional support staff being provided from our headquarters and other regional offices.
If SCA is fortunate enough to be awarded this contract, we intend to meet and confer with the Town of
Fountain Hills’s management team to determine the proper members of our staff needed to complete the
services outlined in the RFQ. We will perform the services and adhere to the requirements described in
this RFQ. Our team looks forward to answering any additional questions you may have about our firm
after you have reviewed this response to the request for qualifications.

Shums Coda Associates was established in 2006 (16 years of business in March, 2022), by licensed
building professionals with multiple decades of municipal consulting experience. Our core services are
building life-safety code reviews, inspections and administrative staffing, on behalf of only jurisdictional
clients. We review and inspect all facets of design construction related to code minimums and local
amendments, such as: architectural, accessibility, structural, fire-safety, energy, sustainability, mechanical,
electrical and plumbing; and have staff to assist with the intake, recording and permitting of construction
documents. By selecting Shums Coda Associates, the Town of Fountain Hills will receive an experienced,
knowledgeable team with a proven track record of outstanding service. In providing these services, our
priority is to be a seamless extension of your staff. We therefore commit to being available for code
consultations, on-time delivery of services, and providing cost-effectiveness to the Town through the
utilization of focused staff augmentation.
We are comprised of licensed architects, engineers, contractors and I.C.C. Certified personnel that have a
wealth of code knowledge and experience in design or construction related fields. SCA believes that an
understanding of how buildings are designed and constructed is an important element to providing
effective code comments that are based on the realities of practical construction. SCA preaches this to our
staff and encourages continuing education to maintain our understanding of the ever-changing code
requirements and amendments. We have seen there can be a great deal of interpretation applied to how
requirements are enforced, so SCA staff continues to find value in learning the history and intent of code
language to assist with accurately applying it to our review and inspections (with final determinations
clearly coming from the Town staff).
Shums Coda Associates takes this commitment to code content further, as we continue to expand our
involvement in various code training and education offerings. For example, SCA continues to participate
in the AZBO Education Board and training and provide similar roles and leadership to the Southern
Nevada ICC EduCode training event, Utah ABM and Chapter training, and the Sacramento Valley
Association of Building Official Minstitute annual event. At the end of 2020, Shums Coda Associates was

General Information
also fortunate to acquire the Colorado Code Consulting company that was owned by Mr. Steve Thomas,
who provides national education and training offerings throughout the United States. This demonstrates
SCA’s commitment to knowledge through education with all things related to the model Building Codes.
Our belief is that code should be understood by our staff to a level where they can explain to our clients
(and their applicants), as well as the how and why it applies to their specific project. We strive to meet this
level with our reviews and inspections, and we continue to offer on-line, or in-person training, to improve
that code understanding internally with our staff and the industry.
With regional offices throughout Arizona (Goodyear), California (Sacramento/Oceanside), Nevada (Las
Vegas), Utah (St. George/Murray) and Colorado (Denver), you will find SCA has nearly one-hundred
employees available to assist the Town of Fountain Hills with plan review and inspection needs outlined
in the RFQ. Our preference is to utilize local staff to provide the plan review services, but with the
Coronavirus pandemic, we have expanded our electronic plan review capacity to be able to review projects
from any of our offices. This will mean that we can provide even greater degree of expertise for unusual
systems related to structural, mechanical, plumbing or electrical, as well as accessibility or sustainability
reviews. It also affords us the ability to utilize staff from all locations to ensure that reviews are completed
on timelines established by the Town. We have been providing electronic plan reviews for many years
now, and are comfortable with reviewing plans under several formats. We have also provided inspection
services via electronic devices, and are capable of completing inspections remotely, or via drone, if desired
by the Town. SCA looks forward to continuing that discussion related to software, hardware and process
the Town uses currently (or would like to implement), as part of our next step in this response to the RFQ.
Our standard plan review and inspections result in lists of comments which refer to specific detail, drawing
or location in the building, and reference applicable code sections for each item cited. We prefer (if allowed
by the Town policies) to expedite or clarify plan review items by contacting the applicant/designers and
communicating directly, using the most advantageous media available, to resolve issues. Similarly, we
encourage our inspectors to be available for contractor/owners to answer the phone calls of clarification for
specific correction items. In today’s development climate a brief phone call, or a thirty-minute online
meeting can save weeks of back-and-forth delays to obtain minimum code compliance and approvals. We
understand that there can be limitations in the applicant’s technology or jurisdictional inter-department
review process, which sometimes prohibit these methods from being implemented with every project. With
either approach being implemented, SCA understands and intends to route all communication/comment
letters (first or concurrently) through Town of Fountain Hills, as directed by your staff. All reviewed and
approved documents shall be returned to the Town after the plan review or inspection process is completed,
and input into the tracking software as directed by Fountain Hills staff.
This should demonstrate Shums Coda Associates experience with the plan review and inspection services
outlined in the Fountain Hills RFQ. We are a large enough corporation, that we do not typically utilize any
sub-consultants to complete these services, and do not anticipate using any for the services requested.
We will also note that in our nearly sixteen years of business, we have not had any contract or subcontract
terminated. Further, we have had no claims arising from a contract that resulted in litigation or arbitration
since our inception as a corporation.

Key Positions
SCA will utilize our local Arizona staff to fill key personnel roles requested in the RFQ. Our Arizona
Regional Manager, Ms. Barbara Rice, CBO/FM, will serve as the local point of contact and Project
Manager for the Fountain Hills services. Further, our CEO and Arizona licensed architect, Mr. David
Basinger and our COO, Ms. Christine Godinez, will be additional points of contact for technical assistance
(as needed) and contract/invoicing information. The day-to-day team is proposed to be as follows:
A. Support Team – Justine Cornelius, Lisa O’Malley will be the primary and local plans examiner
managers for Fountain Hills. We will also utilize senior plans examiners Martin Haeberle, Tom Haney
and Myron Williams as additional review team members for Fountain Hills, as they have all provided
extensive plan reviews in the Valley of the Sun for decades. All of these staff members are full-time
employees of SCA.
B. Additional Support staff – Although all of the Shums Coda Associates family will be collectively
available to provide these services to Fountain Hills, we anticipate (as is our preference) to primarily
utilize our systems specific plan review team for additional plan review support. Therefore, David
Logsdon, Russ Mora or Dean Kuenzi are available for electrical systems review. We have Jason Van
Ausdal and Jody Hilton to review mechanical and plumbing systems, and Hope Media or Gil Rossmiller
to assist with energy compliance issues. Finally, we have a large structural engineering team to assist
on engineering issues, headed by our Project Engineer Kurt McMullin, and additional engineer plan
check staff of Su Fong, Mariam Umair or Ryan Loh.
C. SCA does not anticipate utilizing any subcontractor for any of the proposed services in the RFQ.
D. We will provide additional resume/certifications for the rest of our staff and key inspectors for the
Fountain Hills work. We have not designated a specific inspector currently for these services, as we
would need to discuss number of inspection hours needed for the services, and what would be
considered appropriate certification and experience for our inspection team. SCA would then select
from our local team the personnel that we believe would be a good fit for inspections, and anticipate an
interview from Town staff prior to assigning them to complete the work. It is our belief that working
within the jurisdiction requires an understanding of the role and acceptance by the Town staff they will
interact with, prior to ever completing an inspection.
Inspections are all conducted by ICC certified inspectors. The inspections will be completed within one
business day from the time we receive the request. We believe in being service oriented and not the building
police. We will work with the contractors and homeowners to bring a building into compliance with the
applicable code whenever we can. It is our philosophy that inspections are educational opportunities to
explain the purpose of the code and why certain things are required by the code. We will spend additional
time explaining the purpose of a code requirement whenever necessary.
Our inspectors provide their cell phone numbers to the contractors and homeowners if a question arises in
the field. It is important the lines of communication are maintained open. We want to do whatever we can
to ensure safe buildings while helping to get project completed on time and under budget. We pride
ourselves on being problem solvers and not problem makers. Our goal is to get to yes and comply with the
intent of the code.
SCA will provide emergency disaster response when required. We will utilize the ATC-20 rapid assessment
process to evaluate the habitability of a structure. We will post the property with the appropriate placard to
indicate whether the building can be occupied or not.

Project Review Timeline
SCA’s plan review reports will reference sheets and code sections that are applicable form each comment.
We would typically email the electronic reviews to the Town for distribution to the applicant, but we can
also directly/simultaneously provide the owner, contractor, architect and/or the engineer with the same
electronic list of items needing correction. Our comment lists should be self-explanatory, but our review
team will remain available during working hours (and often off-hours) to provide any additional
clarification/discussion needed of the applicable building code section, ordinances, or regulation.
We will provide a similar list at each cycle of the review process, but typically most reviews are resolved
in one or two cycles, with perhaps a quick third review of a remaining comment (or two). When a review
remains extensive at a third (or longer) review cycle, SCA staff will reach out to the Town of Fountain Hills
staff to discuss the overall items of concern and look for direction on any alternative methods to keep the
project review moving in a positive direction. With these difficult reviews, SCA is not opposed to online
video conferences to share and discuss the code concerns with the Town of Fountain Hills’s staff and the
applicant – hopefully to assist in receiving a more complete resubmittal with the next review.
With each review cycle, SCA will provide a cover letter/transmittal that includes the following information:
• The address, Town permit number, description, use, and type of construction.
• A list of all plans and documents received for review and the associated dates they were received.
Once the final plan review is completed and ready for approval, SCA will electronically stamp the plans
and the supporting documents and return them to the Town, along with our letter of completion. It should
be noted that our approval stamp can be modified to suit the desired information needed by the Town of
Fountain Hills.
Shums Coda is proficient in many various electronic plan review and web-based tools. We typically utilize
the Bluebeam product for our reviews but can provide our review comments on any of the other comparable
platforms, and even embed the comments into the electronic plan sheets (if desired). SCA would look to
the Town of Fountain Hills to provide guidance on the preferred method of electronic comments to be
received. However, it should be noted that SCA can also review paper plans when submitted. In those
instances, we would provide courier to pick-up and drop-off the plans at the Town offices (as needed).
Type of Plan Review Timeframes
Initial Review Recheck
Single-Family 7-10 business days 5 business days
Multi-Family 10-15 business days* 5 business days
Commercial 10-15 business days* 7 business days*
* Some project may require additional time because of size or complexity of the project; SCA would
reserve the right to review those projects under a longer schedule when mutually agreed upon with the
Town of Fountain Hills (prior to the beginning the review process). However, we pride ourselves to be
able to customize our services to fit the Town’s needs and could potentially expedite reviews when
requested.

RE: 2021-RFQ-008; RFQ for Plan Check/Building Inspection Services
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal to provide Plan Check/Building Inspection
Services; it is a pleasure to submit our qualifications to the Town of Fountain Hills. We are confident that
Shums Coda Associates (SCA) is the firm that has the personnel, experience, and attitude that will be
required to successfully provide these “as-needed” services to the Town of Fountain Hills.
We are committed to a vision of service excellence that we believe the Town of Fountain Hills shares. Our
firm continually receives exceptional reviews from our jurisdictional clients, as well as design
professionals, developers and contractors from all size projects and varying complexities. Positive
interactions related to our work product is centered in our desire to be more than a mere consultant plan
review, inspection, and permit processing firm, but rather a contributing partner, functioning as an
extension of Town’s staff. We look to see that projects are successfully completed, on time, within budget,
and a reflection of the Town’s codes, ordinances procedures, policies, and directives. A key in those
efforts is the ability to create a solid working relationship with your jurisdiction to assist with all aspects
outlined in the RFQ document. SCA understands the scope of services to be provided extends beyond
technical code expertise, and why our team’s overall ability and qualifications will exceed the minimums
being requested; which in turn makes us a good fit to meet the Town’s desires to relieve the peaks in
overall projects under review or inspection. The following SOQ will highlight key features and
distinguishing points of the SCA team that will assist in this undertaking.
SCA was founded on the principal of assisting our municipal partners with staff augmentation and
developmental services related to construction review, permitting, inspections and documentation
procedures. SCA is committed and ready to provide you with the same care and standard of technical
excellence that has been the hallmark of our work since our inception. We intend to provide primary
services from our Arizona regional office at 1616 North Litchfield Road, Suite A-210, Goodyear, AZ
85395, with additional support staff being provided from our headquarters and other regional offices.
If SCA is fortunate enough to be awarded this contract, we intend to meet and confer with the Town of
Fountain Hills’s management team to determine the proper members of our staff needed to complete the
services outlined in the RFQ. We will perform the services and adhere to the requirements described in
this RFQ. Our team looks forward to answering any additional questions you may have about our firm
after you have reviewed this response to the request for qualifications.

Shums Coda Associates was established in 2006 (16 years of business in March, 2022), by licensed
building professionals with multiple decades of municipal consulting experience. Our core services are
building life-safety code reviews, inspections and administrative staffing, on behalf of only jurisdictional
clients. We review and inspect all facets of design construction related to code minimums and local
amendments, such as: architectural, accessibility, structural, fire-safety, energy, sustainability, mechanical,
electrical and plumbing; and have staff to assist with the intake, recording and permitting of construction
documents. By selecting Shums Coda Associates, the Town of Fountain Hills will receive an experienced,
knowledgeable team with a proven track record of outstanding service. In providing these services, our
priority is to be a seamless extension of your staff. We therefore commit to being available for code
consultations, on-time delivery of services, and providing cost-effectiveness to the Town through the
utilization of focused staff augmentation.
We are comprised of licensed architects, engineers, contractors and I.C.C. Certified personnel that have a
wealth of code knowledge and experience in design or construction related fields. SCA believes that an
understanding of how buildings are designed and constructed is an important element to providing
effective code comments that are based on the realities of practical construction. SCA preaches this to our
staff and encourages continuing education to maintain our understanding of the ever-changing code
requirements and amendments. We have seen there can be a great deal of interpretation applied to how
requirements are enforced, so SCA staff continues to find value in learning the history and intent of code
language to assist with accurately applying it to our review and inspections (with final determinations
clearly coming from the Town staff).
Shums Coda Associates takes this commitment to code content further, as we continue to expand our
involvement in various code training and education offerings. For example, SCA continues to participate
in the AZBO Education Board and training and provide similar roles and leadership to the Southern
Nevada ICC EduCode training event, Utah ABM and Chapter training, and the Sacramento Valley
Association of Building Official Minstitute annual event. At the end of 2020, Shums Coda Associates was

General Information
also fortunate to acquire the Colorado Code Consulting company that was owned by Mr. Steve Thomas,
who provides national education and training offerings throughout the United States. This demonstrates
SCA’s commitment to knowledge through education with all things related to the model Building Codes.
Our belief is that code should be understood by our staff to a level where they can explain to our clients
(and their applicants), as well as the how and why it applies to their specific project. We strive to meet this
level with our reviews and inspections, and we continue to offer on-line, or in-person training, to improve
that code understanding internally with our staff and the industry.
With regional offices throughout Arizona (Goodyear), California (Sacramento/Oceanside), Nevada (Las
Vegas), Utah (St. George/Murray) and Colorado (Denver), you will find SCA has nearly one-hundred
employees available to assist the Town of Fountain Hills with plan review and inspection needs outlined
in the RFQ. Our preference is to utilize local staff to provide the plan review services, but with the
Coronavirus pandemic, we have expanded our electronic plan review capacity to be able to review projects
from any of our offices. This will mean that we can provide even greater degree of expertise for unusual
systems related to structural, mechanical, plumbing or electrical, as well as accessibility or sustainability
reviews. It also affords us the ability to utilize staff from all locations to ensure that reviews are completed
on timelines established by the Town. We have been providing electronic plan reviews for many years
now, and are comfortable with reviewing plans under several formats. We have also provided inspection
services via electronic devices, and are capable of completing inspections remotely, or via drone, if desired
by the Town. SCA looks forward to continuing that discussion related to software, hardware and process
the Town uses currently (or would like to implement), as part of our next step in this response to the RFQ.
Our standard plan review and inspections result in lists of comments which refer to specific detail, drawing
or location in the building, and reference applicable code sections for each item cited. We prefer (if allowed
by the Town policies) to expedite or clarify plan review items by contacting the applicant/designers and
communicating directly, using the most advantageous media available, to resolve issues. Similarly, we
encourage our inspectors to be available for contractor/owners to answer the phone calls of clarification for
specific correction items. In today’s development climate a brief phone call, or a thirty-minute online
meeting can save weeks of back-and-forth delays to obtain minimum code compliance and approvals. We
understand that there can be limitations in the applicant’s technology or jurisdictional inter-department
review process, which sometimes prohibit these methods from being implemented with every project. With
either approach being implemented, SCA understands and intends to route all communication/comment
letters (first or concurrently) through Town of Fountain Hills, as directed by your staff. All reviewed and
approved documents shall be returned to the Town after the plan review or inspection process is completed,
and input into the tracking software as directed by Fountain Hills staff.
This should demonstrate Shums Coda Associates experience with the plan review and inspection services
outlined in the Fountain Hills RFQ. We are a large enough corporation, that we do not typically utilize any
sub-consultants to complete these services, and do not anticipate using any for the services requested.
We will also note that in our nearly sixteen years of business, we have not had any contract or subcontract
terminated. Further, we have had no claims arising from a contract that resulted in litigation or arbitration
since our inception as a corporation.

Key Positions
SCA will utilize our local Arizona staff to fill key personnel roles requested in the RFQ. Our Arizona
Regional Manager, Ms. Barbara Rice, CBO/FM, will serve as the local point of contact and Project
Manager for the Fountain Hills services. Further, our CEO and Arizona licensed architect, Mr. David
Basinger and our COO, Ms. Christine Godinez, will be additional points of contact for technical assistance
(as needed) and contract/invoicing information. The day-to-day team is proposed to be as follows:
A. Support Team – Justine Cornelius, Lisa O’Malley will be the primary and local plans examiner
managers for Fountain Hills. We will also utilize senior plans examiners Martin Haeberle, Tom Haney
and Myron Williams as additional review team members for Fountain Hills, as they have all provided
extensive plan reviews in the Valley of the Sun for decades. All of these staff members are full-time
employees of SCA.
B. Additional Support staff – Although all of the Shums Coda Associates family will be collectively
available to provide these services to Fountain Hills, we anticipate (as is our preference) to primarily
utilize our systems specific plan review team for additional plan review support. Therefore, David
Logsdon, Russ Mora or Dean Kuenzi are available for electrical systems review. We have Jason Van
Ausdal and Jody Hilton to review mechanical and plumbing systems, and Hope Media or Gil Rossmiller
to assist with energy compliance issues. Finally, we have a large structural engineering team to assist
on engineering issues, headed by our Project Engineer Kurt McMullin, and additional engineer plan
check staff of Su Fong, Mariam Umair or Ryan Loh.
C. SCA does not anticipate utilizing any subcontractor for any of the proposed services in the RFQ.
D. We will provide additional resume/certifications for the rest of our staff and key inspectors for the
Fountain Hills work. We have not designated a specific inspector currently for these services, as we
would need to discuss number of inspection hours needed for the services, and what would be
considered appropriate certification and experience for our inspection team. SCA would then select
from our local team the personnel that we believe would be a good fit for inspections, and anticipate an
interview from Town staff prior to assigning them to complete the work. It is our belief that working
within the jurisdiction requires an understanding of the role and acceptance by the Town staff they will
interact with, prior to ever completing an inspection.
Inspections are all conducted by ICC certified inspectors. The inspections will be completed within one
business day from the time we receive the request. We believe in being service oriented and not the building
police. We will work with the contractors and homeowners to bring a building into compliance with the
applicable code whenever we can. It is our philosophy that inspections are educational opportunities to
explain the purpose of the code and why certain things are required by the code. We will spend additional
time explaining the purpose of a code requirement whenever necessary.
Our inspectors provide their cell phone numbers to the contractors and homeowners if a question arises in
the field. It is important the lines of communication are maintained open. We want to do whatever we can
to ensure safe buildings while helping to get project completed on time and under budget. We pride
ourselves on being problem solvers and not problem makers. Our goal is to get to yes and comply with the
intent of the code.
SCA will provide emergency disaster response when required. We will utilize the ATC-20 rapid assessment
process to evaluate the habitability of a structure. We will post the property with the appropriate placard to
indicate whether the building can be occupied or not.

Project Review Timeline
SCA’s plan review reports will reference sheets and code sections that are applicable form each comment.
We would typically email the electronic reviews to the Town for distribution to the applicant, but we can
also directly/simultaneously provide the owner, contractor, architect and/or the engineer with the same
electronic list of items needing correction. Our comment lists should be self-explanatory, but our review
team will remain available during working hours (and often off-hours) to provide any additional
clarification/discussion needed of the applicable building code section, ordinances, or regulation.
We will provide a similar list at each cycle of the review process, but typically most reviews are resolved
in one or two cycles, with perhaps a quick third review of a remaining comment (or two). When a review
remains extensive at a third (or longer) review cycle, SCA staff will reach out to the Town of Fountain Hills
staff to discuss the overall items of concern and look for direction on any alternative methods to keep the
project review moving in a positive direction. With these difficult reviews, SCA is not opposed to online
video conferences to share and discuss the code concerns with the Town of Fountain Hills’s staff and the
applicant – hopefully to assist in receiving a more complete resubmittal with the next review.
With each review cycle, SCA will provide a cover letter/transmittal that includes the following information:
• The address, Town permit number, description, use, and type of construction.
• A list of all plans and documents received for review and the associated dates they were received.
Once the final plan review is completed and ready for approval, SCA will electronically stamp the plans
and the supporting documents and return them to the Town, along with our letter of completion. It should
be noted that our approval stamp can be modified to suit the desired information needed by the Town of
Fountain Hills.
Shums Coda is proficient in many various electronic plan review and web-based tools. We typically utilize
the Bluebeam product for our reviews but can provide our review comments on any of the other comparable
platforms, and even embed the comments into the electronic plan sheets (if desired). SCA would look to
the Town of Fountain Hills to provide guidance on the preferred method of electronic comments to be
received. However, it should be noted that SCA can also review paper plans when submitted. In those
instances, we would provide courier to pick-up and drop-off the plans at the Town offices (as needed).
Type of Plan Review Timeframes
Initial Review Recheck
Single-Family 7-10 business days 5 business days
Multi-Family 10-15 business days* 5 business days
Commercial 10-15 business days* 7 business days*
* Some project may require additional time because of size or complexity of the project; SCA would
reserve the right to review those projects under a longer schedule when mutually agreed upon with the
Town of Fountain Hills (prior to the beginning the review process). However, we pride ourselves to be
able to customize our services to fit the Town’s needs and could potentially expedite reviews when
requested.

The above fee covers all services associated with the typical plan review, including a first, second and quick third review to approve projects. Extensive plan reviews (longer third reviews or more) will be charged on an hourly rate shown below. When hourly rates are to be applied, SCA will notify Fountain Hills through the completion of the third review comment letter, and would anticipate directly from the Town staff as to how to resolve the final comments in the most expeditious manner possible.
