1 <br /> c <br /> As noted above, the City charges a fee for service for plan review and inspections. In order to adequately <br /> provide this service in a timely manner, Staff recommends that additional inspection assistance is warranted <br /> and needed at this time. This temporary, contracted solution allows the City to be flexible and prudent with <br /> expenses related to plan review and inspections. <br /> Staff expects an elevated service need for the next 60 days.Additionally, by entering into a professional <br /> services contract with Rum River Construction Consultants, Staff will be able to react more quickly in the <br /> future with these needs. The contract with Rum River Construction Consultants would remain secondary to <br /> Inspectron, Inc., the City's primary contracted inspection service. <br /> Rum River Construction Consultants is based in Princeton, MN and provides similar services in multiple <br /> communities, including Nowthen,MN. The Owner of this firm,Andy Schreder, is a former Inspector with the <br /> City of Ramsey and is familiar with our processes and procedures. The firm also offers Saturday service for <br /> customers, if the City so desires. <br /> Funding Source: <br /> This expense is funded through fees for service collected with the Building Permit. Expenses would not <br /> exceed revenue collected for the service. Based on Staff Review of similar service providers, $75 is-an <br /> average charge per hour. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Staff recommends approval of a professional services contract with Rum River Construction Consultants to <br /> supplement existing contracted inspections with Inspectron, Inc. <br /> Action: <br /> Motion to adopt Resolution#19-242 approving professional services contract with Rum River Construction <br /> Consultants. <br /> I° <br /> Attachments <br /> Proposed Contract <br /> Form Review <br /> Inbox Reviewed By Date <br /> Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 09/19/2019 03:44 PM <br /> i <br /> Form Started By:Tim Gladhill Started On:09/18/2019 03:19 PM <br /> Final Approval Date:09/19/2019 <br /> j <br /> r: <br /> F <br /> 4 <br /> A <br />
