HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07262011 - C.58RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to
execute a contract with the City of Clayton to provide Building Inspection Services at
hourly rates specified in the proposed contract, including mutual indemnification for any
claims arising out of the performance of the agreement, for a three year term beginning July
1, 2011 and ending June 31, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County’s cost of providing services will be offset by permit fees and other revenues
collected from property owners within the City of Clayton who receive services provided
by County staff.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County had provided Building Inspection services to the City of Clayton since
the City incorporated in the 1960s. Through the Building Inspection Division of the
Department of Conservation and Development, the County acts as the City’s Building
Department, providing the full range of building inspection, plan checking, and code
enforcement services.

County
Subject:Contract with City of Clayton for Building Inspection Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
DCD collects building permit fees and other revenues from permit applicants and
property owners as compensation for the cost of providing these services.
The proposed contract modifies the existing contract between the County and the City so
as to achieve consistency with the County’s current contracting standards and to update
the billing rates for services provided by the County. The current Agreement with the
City of Clayton does not include billing rates for Code Enforcement services. This new
contract includes County billing rates that fully cover the Department of Conservation
and Development's costs of providing such services. County costs for plan check and
inspection services will continue to be paid for through the collection of building permit
fees.
In addition to the County's standard language indemnifying the County against any
claims arising out of actions of the City of Clayton, the agreement would also indemnify
the City of Clayton against any claims arising out of actions of Contra Costa County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the proposed contract is not approved, the County will not be able to adequately
recover its costs of providing Building Inspection services to the City of Clayton.
