Consent 1 0 <br />CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS <br />FOR BUILDING INSPECTIONS SERVICES <br />Background <br />By: Heidi A. Nelson, Deputy City Administrator/ <br />Director of Community Development <br />At the September 22, 2009 City Council Work Session, staff sought policy direction from <br />the City Council regarding the following matters: <br />1. Establishment of an electrical inspection program. <br />2. The requirement for permits for roofing, siding, and window installation work. <br />3. The rental license program. <br />4. Contracting for building inspections services. <br />The City Council directed st:Iff to prepare a request for proposals (RFP) for electrical <br />inspections and also building inspections services. For your consideration, attached you <br />will find an RFP for building inspections services which will be distributed to interested <br />consultants with City Council authorization. A transition to contracted inspection <br />services will result in the lay -off of the remaining building inspector position which <br />would leave the building official and permit technician on staff. <br />An RFP for electrical inspections will be presented at a future meeting. <br />Funding Source <br />As was reported at the September 22 Work Session, if the City Council elects to contract <br />out for building inspections services, the city's remaining building inspector would be <br />laid off and the subsequent salary savings would be used to pay the building inspections <br />contactor. <br />City Council Action <br />Consider making a motion to authorize staff to issue the attached RFP for building <br />inspections services. <br />Attachment <br />RFP for building inspections services. <br />L .A._____0 <br />Reviewed By <br />City Administrator <br />CC: October 13, 2009 <br />
