Request for Qualifications for Expedited Building Inspection Services <br />March 7, 2017 <br />Page 2 <br />With approval from the City Council, staff anticipates issuing the RFQ on March 8, 2017. <br />Consultants will have 14 days to respond, with a deadline of March 22, 2017. Once the RFQ <br />deadline has passed, a Review Team made up of City staff will evaluate the submittals and will <br />present them, along with a recommendation(s) to enter contracts, for consideration by the City <br />Council on April 18, 2017. <br />City staff intends to issue the RFQ primarily via digital means. The RFQ will be advertised on the <br />City's website and posted on social media sites, and emailed to all consultants providing contract <br />building inspection services. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's effort to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, <br />Objective #3 (Promote a solution -based customer focus in all efforts to facilitate development and <br />investment in the community). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Typically, it costs 40% more to hire outside inspectors to perform the job that would otherwise be <br />done by the City inspectors. Therefore, presently, staff is proposing to "contract out" and pass <br />the entire cost of outside staff, plus a nominal administration surcharge, to interested applicants. <br />If the upward trend in application continues, staff will present alternatives at the time of budgetary <br />reviews. <br />Therefore, at this time, there is no fiscal impact associated with the issuance of an RFQ. One or <br />more consultants may eventually be selected once the entire solicitation process is complete. A <br />fiscal impact, if any, will not be known until such time that the City Council reviews and selects a <br />proposal and consultants to provide expedited building inspection services. <br />Hassan HaghP i, Albs <br />Executive Director <br />Planning and Building Agency <br />SM:rb <br />SM:RFCA — Expedited Building Inspection Services — March 2017 <br />Exhibit: 1.
