Financial Impact:
No financial impacts are anticipated in entering this IGA.
Normally, payment for inspection services would be captured as part of the building permit fees. However, because this is a State-owned facility, a normal building permit won't be issued by the City of Flagstaff. Through this IGA, the ADVS is agreeing to reimburse the City for the costs of providing building inspection services. The estimated value of building inspection services is $32,109. Billing to ADVS will occur monthly based on hours of inspection services provided.
