| SUBJECT: | Authorization to Solicit Proposals for On-Call Professional Building & Safety and Related Services
|
|
Recommendation:
Authorize staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for on-call professional Building & Safety and related professional services.
Background/Analysis:
The City utilizes professional consulting services to supplement City staff and provide specialized expertise and additional staffing capacity as needed. These services may include professional Building & Safety, plan review, inspection, permit technician and administrative support and other related professional and technical services.
Staff is currently preparing a Request for Proposals to establish a pool of qualified firms capable of providing these services on an on-call basis. The RFP will allow firms to propose for one or more service categories, and the City may ultimately enter into agreements with multiple firms based on qualifications, expertise, availability, responsiveness, cost and the City’s operational needs.
Conducting a competitive solicitation will provide the City an opportunity to evaluate the qualifications, services, staffing resources, responsiveness, and pricing offered by qualified firms and help ensure the City is receiving the appropriate level and range of services at competitive rates.
Following completion of the evaluation and selection process, staff will return to the City Council with recommended agreement(s), as applicable, for consideration and approval.
