such as distance of office and full spectrum of services are also part of the equation. The 2014 budget for these <br />services is $20,000. The increase in the rate would not require an additional cost to the City, rather slightly reduce <br />the number of hours to be used. Staff would anticipate multiple firms responding to any request for proposal. <br />Specific to this service, Staff would recommend consistency for this service over the next one (1) to two (2) years <br />as the City reviews regional policy updates currently being developed that will serve as the foundation for the City's <br />next Comprehensive Plan Update. This service will be necessary in order to provide background, technical analysis <br />so that Staff can focus more on policy development. <br />Alternatives for this contract include: <br />1. Continue the contract in its current form and request new proposals at the end of 2015 (extended professional <br />services policy) <br />1. Staff suggests the end of 2015 in order to be ready for the 2016 building season rather than making a <br />change mid -year. <br />2. Request new proposals as soon as reasonably possible in 2014 (base professional services policy) <br />1. Under this scenario, Staff would suggest requesting proposals as soon as possible in order to have a <br />decision made and contract in place by May 1. <br />3. Replace this service with the use of internships to address peak level demands <br />1. This scenario would require further restructuring of the Community Development to address skill set <br />needs (the contract addresses higher -level policy issues). <br />Timeframe: <br />30 minutes <br />Funding Source: <br />Costs for these services are include in the 2014 General Fund Budget (accounts 191.6315 and 240.6315), and <br />largely funded through revenue collected with Building Permits and Land Use Applications. <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Development Services Manager <br />Building Official <br />Outcome: <br />Staff desires consensus to direct Staff to request new proposals for professional services in the Community <br />Development Department (Building Code Administration, Electrical Code Administration, Long -Range Planning <br />and Zoning Administration) at the end of 2015 to have new contracts in place in 2016. <br />No f le(s) attached. <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 01/09/2014 10:22 AM <br />Form Started By: Tim Gladhill Started On: 12/23/2013 03:18 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/09/2014 <br />
