FAIRFAX COUNTY ESI PROGRAM
The ESI Peer Review Program in Fairfax County consists of a Minimum Submission Review (MSR). This program provides a plan quality control review to save the time of the regulatory reviewers and speed the process of the plan approval. The Minimum Submission Review involves peer review performed by ESI’s Peer Review Team (PRT), which consists of rotating private industry/governmental peer review engineers and an ESI Staff Engineer. The PRT is committed to review the plan within 48 hours from the receipt of the plan by ESI. The peer review is done according to the appropriate established current checklist as listed in the following lines. The Peer Review Team makes a final determination whether the result of the plan reviewed is Acceptable, Acceptable with Inserts, or Non-Acceptable according to the checklist and/or response letter prepared by the submitting engineers. If the plan review result is unacceptable, the submitting DPE engineer will get a non-acceptable grade and is subject to a disciplinary action from the Fairfax County Advisory Plans Examiner Board (APEB) as a built-in accountability measure. The submitting engineers will be notified of the status of the plan review results by phone or email by the PRT once the review is completed.
Detailed instructions and appropriate forms can be obtained at the links provided below.
CHECKLISTS
In collaboration with Fairfax County, ESI has updated its Fairfax County ESI Checklists (dated 10/1/2020) for ESI member use in submitting plans to the County through the ESI Peer Review Process. Beginning November 1, 2020, ESI switched over to the new checklists and will no longer accept prior checklist versions for new submissions. Plans that are already in process as of November 1, 2020 may continue using the prior checklist version. Please call Sohaila Shekib at (703) 615-6785 if you have questions or need assistance.
