Bill, your description is quite clear & extra details are useful.
I could use single walers with hairpins by drilling the walers for the snap ties or by using a 2x4 block along with the waler.
The only bulkheads I have to deal with are at locations where the wall is 3' tall, so I suspect that a plywood panel screwed to the form studs will be adequate.
I was surprised that only one base plate gets attached to the footings, but if the ties do their work that should be adequate. Along with deadmen and braces to support the wall...
Putting the inside wall up first has advantages in addition to the access due to the cut. It makes the electrical work a lot simpler and simplifies the rebar installation since you can see what you are doing.
