ESI Plan Review Procedures – It is our commitment to continue working with you diligently on your plan submissions and we invite you to contact our ESI Senior Staff Engineers directly to coordinate plan submissions, meetings, peer reviews and any other plan-related need that you have.  For information on changes made to plan submission, please view our current Plan Submission Directions or contact the engineer working with the jurisdiction you plan to submit to:

If possible, we ask that Alexandria plans be submitted electronically.  If you must submit a paper copy, the plan can be dropped off or mailed to our Chantilly office.  Please coordinate plan submissions for Alexandria through Bill Missell.

All Fairfax plans must be submitted electronically via PLUS.  Please coordinate plan submissions for Fairfax through Sohaila Shekib.

The ESI Loudoun office closed on January 1, 2021.  If possible, we ask that plans be submitted electronically.  If you must submit a paper copy, the plan can be dropped off or mailed to our Chantilly office.  Please coordinate plan submissions for Loudoun or Leesburg through Sue Wolford.

 

ESI Classes – As a result of changes and improvements to our systems from lessons learned during the Pandemic, ESI changed many of its classes to a virtual format, or hybrid with virtual and in-person utilizing Zoom. However, some of our classes, such as our LDE series of classes, is held in-person whenever possible to enhance the students’ learning and class interaction.

Please rest assured we continually monitor the health advisories, and take steps as necessary to maintain a safe learning environment. 

For updates on class schedules, or if you have any questions about classes, please contact Bill Sharpe at (703) 263-2232 or at wsharpe@esinova.org. 

 

ESI Plan-Related Meetings (e.g. Peer Review, Facilitation, and Pre-Submission Meetings) – All of ESI’s Partner jurisdictions have moved to meetings and discussions regarding plan submissions via online “virtual” meetings.  Most jurisdictional meetings utilized Teams for virtual meetings, while ESI continues to use Zoom for classes and other internal discussions.

 

ESI Committee Meetings (e.g. Fairfax Committee, Loudoun Committee, Leesburg Committee, Alexandria Committee, and other leadership committees) –   Since the pandemic, ESI and its partner jurisdictions have moved mostly to virtual conferencing to conduct meetings.  However, the Fairfax Committee meeting has resumed meeting in-person with a hybrid-virtual option available for most meetings if feasible.
