APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES FOR PROFESSIONAL
BUILDING AND SAFETY SERVICES
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the expenditures for contractual plan review, building inspection, and
permitting services as follows:
1. Professional plan review services by Esgil Corporation in the amount of $144,000.00 from
Account No. 4210-8110;
2. Professional building inspection services by JAS Pacific, Inc. in the amount of $66,500.00
from Account No. 4210-8001; and
3. Professional plan review services by Linhart Petersen Powers Associates in the amount of
$180,000.00 from Account No. 4210-8001.
BACKGROUND
The City's Building and Safety Division uses contractual services to assist staff with plan reviews
and inspections of new buildings during periods of high construction activity.
Contractual support for plan check and inspection services helps supplement staffs effort to
respond in a timely manner to fluctuating demands for such services. The expected level of
construction activity during the last two quarters of the fiscal year is expected to remain high
based on proposed projects and current projects that have been approved for construction or that
will be approved in early 2006.
This request is for City Council to authorize expenditures for continued services from Esgil
Corporation, JAS Pacific, Inc., and Linhart Petersen Powers Associates. The funding for these
contracts was approved by the City Council as part of the the Fiscal Year 2005-06 budget. The
'P'i ED
funding for each of these requests exceeds $50,000.00, and therefore, requires City Council
approval. The City has entered into open contracts with each of these vendors in accordance
with the City s purchasing policy.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these services was previously approved and allocated by the City Council during the
adoption of the Fiscal Year 2005-06 budget. Revenue to support these contracts is generated
directly from fees collected for plan review and inspection services.
