DEPUTY TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ra FROM: CARLOS BALTODANO, DIRECTOR Costa BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT County DATE: December 5, 2004 SUBJECT: Pian Review Services w Attri and Associates SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS.: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Building Inspection to amend the contract with Attri and Associates by increasing the contract amount from $45,000 to $70,000 for the provision of plan review services to the Building Inspection Department. FISCAL. IMPACT: None. Plan Review fees cover all costs. BACK+GROUND/REASON!$ FOR RECQMMENDATIONS: The Building Inspection Department has experienced tremendous growth in the demand for services. The ability of the Department to respond to this demand has been constrained by the level of staffing. In order to better respond to this increase in demand, the Department has begun to contract for these services with small plan review firms. In addition to the outside firms, the Department utilized other strategies to address the increase in demand: • The Department authorized overtime compensation to Building Plan Checkers to increase our production rate; • The Department's three Structural engineers voluntarily worked significant amounts of overtime to reduce the backlog of structural plan reviews; • Two new Structural Engineer positions were created and are in the process of being filled. The Department is renowned in the Building Industry for the speed with which building plans are approved. As a result, our long-term customers have become accustomed to the tight time-lines and have been asking us to explore other alternatives. The Department therefore intends to continue to utilize the services of Attri and Associates on an as needed basis as part of the Department's strategy to provide plan check services in a timely fashion. Attri and Associates is a Small Local Business Enterprise.
