i <br /> CC Regular Session 7. 4. <br /> Meeting Date: 09/24/2019 <br /> By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development <br /> Information <br /> Title: <br /> Adopt Resolution#19-242 Approving Temporary Contracted Inspection Assistance with Rum River <br /> Construction Consultants <br /> Purpose/Background: <br /> The purpose of this case is to authorize a professional services contract with Rum River Construction <br /> Consultants on a temporary basis to supplement our current professional services contract with Inspectron, <br /> Inc. These professional services are utilized for plan review and inspections for Building Permits. This is a <br /> budget neutral activity. The activity is funded by fees charged for services on Building Permits. Activity level <br /> is extremelyhigh at the moment <br /> g t due to large commercial/industrial projects and recent storm damage to <br /> homes. Unfortunately, the City has tapped all available resources from the current vendor and additional <br /> assistance is necessary at this point. <br /> This is estimated to be approximately 20 hours a week. There are no minimum hours required. If workload <br /> does not dictate need, hours will not be scheduled. <br /> For this activity, the City sets the following metrics. <br /> I. <br /> • Respond to phone and email inquiries same day(at least to acknowledge receipt of inquiry) <br /> • Residential Permits issued within 2 weeks <br /> • Commercial Permits issued within 4 weeks <br /> • Inspections available within 48 hours of request <br /> Throughout the later summer months, Staff was slightly above these metrics. However, as the quality <br /> construction season nears its end, Developers and Builders are working quickly to get footings in ground <br /> before frost conditions. This requires several weeks of plan design and review and several weeks of site . <br /> preparation before that can happen. <br /> Notification: k <br /> Notification is not required. <br /> Observations/Alternatives: <br /> I <br /> This year is proving to be a very successful year for commercial industrial projects. <br /> • Under Construction <br /> o Ace Solid Waste Transfer Station Expansion <br /> o M& G Trailer <br /> o Ramsey Storage Center <br /> r: <br /> • In Review <br /> o Anderson Dahlen <br /> o Delta ModTech <br /> o Name Brand Self Storage <br /> o Sapphire Apartments <br /> o Suite Living Assisted Living and Memory Care <br /> o West Armstrong Retail <br />
