Information ACTION REQUEST Consider and take action on an agreement between the City of Texas City and Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. for a Standard Professional Services Agreement BACKGROUND (Brief Summary) The increase in residential development is increasing the number and frequency of building inspections required on a daily basis.  We have a total of four currently certified combination inspectors and two more who will have their certifications in the next few months.  One of the currently certified inspectors will be out on medical leave until February.  The department had 125 inspections scheduled for one day during the week of December 4, and this is usually the slow time of year for construction.  To be sure the department is prepared to respond to the current inspection demands and during peak periods, staff is recommending a standby contract agreement for third party inspections to be administered by the Building Officials as needed to provide timely and accurate inspections.    RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends entering into the proposed contract for third party inspection services to be administered by the Building Officials as needed to provide timely and accurate building inspections.
