FROM: CARLOS BALTODANO, DIRECTOR .. County
BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT
DATE: April 24, 2001
SUBJECT: Plan Review Services - R.L. Kramasz Consulting
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Building Inspection to execute a contract with
R.L. Kramasz Consulting in an amount not to exceed $50,000 to provide plan review
services to the Building Inspection Department on an as needed basis.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. All costs are covered by Plan Review fees collected from the City of Pittsburg.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Pittsburg contracted with the Contra Costa County Building Inspection
Department for various services related to the development of two large energy plants
currently being designed and built within the City of Pittsburg. At the Delta Energy Center
(DEC) energy plant, the County will provide a consolidated package of services including
plan review of structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical and seismic components. These
services would be provided by our highly experienced and credentialed plan review staff
(including state certified structural engineers) and suitably qualified outside consultants as
required.
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 been contracting for these services with small plan review firms.
Therefore, the Department is requesting the services of R.L. Kramasz Consulting to assist
the Department with this specialized project. R.L. Kramasz Consulting has the necessary
expertise to perform the plan review tasks. R.L. Kramasz Consulting is a Small Local
Business Enterprise. .
