DISCUSSION With the upward trend in development in the City over the past few years, the Planning and Building Agency has experienced an increase in service demands. As a result, during the past two years, the City has contracted for a part-time plan checker to assist at the public counter in order to ensure prompt while-you-wait service continues to be available to customers. The most recent agreement for contracted plan check services expired on June 30, 2006. This recommended action would continue the contracted services of Willdan for a part-time plan checker on an as needed basis at a rate of $70 per hour. In addition to Willdan, Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc. and Vandorpe Chou Associates, Inc. were also considered, having been contracted by the City in the past for plan check services. However, due to the current high demand for contracted plan check services, only Willdan can provide the required staffing at this time. 25C-1 Willdan Agreement August 21, 2006 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $75,000 are available in the Planning and Building Agency's account for other contractual services (account no. 11-508-6291).
