Staff Augmentation
“HR Green has been successfully performing City Engineering, project support, plan checking, and development reviews for the City of Hemet since January 2019. The firm brings a business sensibility to electronic plan review and engineering management, working closely with our Community Development staff to streamline and assist with the development entitlement process. Further, HR Green is an ideal fit for combining experience with value by reducing the amount of paper, time, travel, and costs associated with the plan review process. The use of the virtual cloud promotes real time project tracking.”

Hemet
The City needed a firm that could serve as a City Engineer, accelerate the delivery of capital improvement projects, and manage the land development process while assuring the development community pay fair share costs for study reviews and plan checks.
HR Green assigned on-site engineering and construction management staff and quickly established procedures and protocols to accept and track plan check subdivision plans and costs. As a result, costs are fully tracked and there is a 95% cost recovery for provided services.
In addition to daily city engineering administration, as City Engineer, HR Green has also been responsible for CIP project administration, permit counter support, and multi-agency and stakeholder coordination, as well as the delivery of a backlog of CIP projects. HR Green has also prepared grant applications and staff reports for City Council, as well as land development/development review, permit processing, and utility coordination.
Highlights include:
- Weekly meetings arranged with developers/homebuilders to review project status and coordinate with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to address citywide drainage deficiencies.
- Collaboration with Caltrans to facilitate construction improvements to a primary thoroughfare.
- Development and delivery of a multi-year CIP program that brought forward nearly $60 million worth of projects from all departments.
