SUBJECT: REQUEST TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR CONSULTING SERVICES.
CONSULTANT TO REVIEW THE PERMIT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS ON COST SAVING.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
SPECIFIC REQUEST:
A
Authorize the Director of Building Inspection to issue a request for proposal
for consulting services. The consultant would be asked to do . an in depth
review of the Permit Management System and to make recommendations on how the
data processing operations costs of over $400, 000 budgeted for 1989-90 could
be reduced. The consultants' proposals would be due September 15, 1989 . The
proposals would then be reviewed by the Land Information Steering Committee
which would make a selection recommendation to the County Administrator' s
Office. The preliminary report from the consultant would be due by mid-
December and a final report would be due in mid-April 1990.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Building Inspection Department would spend up . to $30, 000 for the
consulting services. The cost of implementing the consultants
recommendations is unknown. It is hoped that the consultant's
recommendations, if implemented, would result in at least 30-40% savings to
the $400, 000 annual data processing production charges to Building
Inspection. In addition, cost savings might be realized by other departments
benefiting by the implemented recommendations.
BACKGROUND:
The automated permit system was envisioned to provide an efficient, accurate
and cost effective way to provide building inspection services. However, the
operating costs have gone from $0 costs in 1982 to over $400, 000 in 1989-90,
while the workload increase would have required an addition of 3 to 4 people
costing $100, 000 in salary and benefits.
