CITY OF SAN BERN RDINO - REQUEST r R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The agreement before you for consideration is a standardized
agreement for building inspection services to be performed on
an as-needed basis by private consulting firms. It is
planned that interest on the part of private firms would be
assessed in advance, via advertising and inquiry.
Firms interested in being considered for such work would be
interviewed by the Director of Planning and Building Service.
The names of those deemed qualified would be placed on a
rotating list for use to assist in meeting the needs of the
inspection workload.
The first utilization of the program is expected to be for
tract inspections, due to economies of scale and the fast-
tracking desired by major developers to complete projects.
Dependent on the ability of private inspection services to
respond, and the Department's experience with the program, it
is felt that such contractual services could also be utilized
from time-to-time in relieving building inspection backlogs.
The cost per inspection hour ($50.00) set forth in the
Converse agreement exceeds the cost per hour of inspection
services performed by City personnel. A developer willing to
pay the additional cost for the increased (out-of-regular-
order inspections) level of service would agree in writing at
the time of requesting the service and make a deposit based
on an "estimated cost." The permit fees would be finalized
at the conclusion of the work. This has operated
satisfactorily in connection with planning consultant fees.

contract inspection services and will vary from
