RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to an agreement with Willdan
for plan check services in an amount not to exceed $100,000.
DISCUSSION
In October 2004, the City entered into an agreement with Wil1dan for
contracted Plan Check service for an amount not to exceed $45,000. These
services were required due to an increase in construction activity and
the resul ting increase in the number of proj ects submitted for plan
check.
The upswing in construction continues to be apparent, in addition to the
current seasonal increase in construction activity typically experienced
during the spring and summer months. Further, the high-rise projects now
in the planning process will cause a significant increase in the plan
check workload in the 2005-06 fiscal year. In order to maintain a
desirable rate of turn-around in processing plan submissions for our
customers, it is recommended that the City continue to contract for part-
time plan examiner services to assist at the Public Counter
Willdan has proven effective for the services required and the firm
currently has a staff person available with the necessary skill level.
This agreement would authorize services from this contractor for
approximately 20 hours per week at a rate of $55 per hour.
