CITY OF GROVER BEACH

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 7
Placement: Consent
Meeting Date: July 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Megan Martin, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Award of Professional Consultant Services Agreement for Building and Fire Prevention Services

RECOMMENDATION
Award a Professional Consultant Services Agreement to JAS Pacific for building and fire prevention services for a three-year term in an amount not-to-exceed $250,000 annually and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department (CDD) currently contracts for all building and fire prevention services which primarily include plan and permit review, and inspections. The use of a consultant for providing these services is more cost-effective than hiring permanent city staff based on fluctuating workload and volume of permits submitted annually.

The City’s current consultant has experienced recent turnover and no longer maintains a local presence to perform field inspections at the city’s desired frequency. To avoid interruption or inconsistent service levels, escalated costs, such as travel-related charges and inspections performed by higher-cost personnel, staff initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for qualified firms to provide comprehensive, and preferably local, building and fire protection services. The City received proposals from five firms to provide the requested services: 4Leaf, Inc., Bureau Veritas, CSG Consultants, JAS Pacific (JAS), and Schums Coda Associates (SCA).

A team of staff from the Community Development Department and Five Cities Fire Authority reviewed and ranked the proposals to determine the most qualified firm to conduct the work.

Following a competitive review and selection process, staff recommends entering into a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with JAS (Attachment 1), a firm with a demonstrated record of responsive, cost-effective building and fire inspection services in municipalities across California. This contract will ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery and code compliance for the City of Grover Beach. JAS offers reliable, local inspection services and brings code expertise that aligns with the City’s development priorities. The JAS team includes former public sector and licensed professionals with decades of public and private construction experience.

JAS has worked previously with the City along with the cities of Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Atascadero, Paso Robles, and San Luis Obispo, as well as the County of San Luis Obispo offering regional experience that will enhance the City’s building and fire prevention efforts.

Staff Report: Building and Fire Prevention Services Agreement Page 2 July 28, 2025
Multi-Year Goals
☒ Public Safety and Community Services ☒ Economic Development and Housing ☐ Community Infrastructure ☒ Financial and Organization Sustainability Council Priorities
☐ Water and Wastewater Infrastructure ☐ Community Engagement Under the proposed agreement, JAS will provide the following services:
• Building Official services
• Building inspections
• Plan check and permit review
• Fire prevention and life safety inspections
• Fire Marshal services
• Coordination on code enforcement and policy updates
These services will be administered through the CDD under the oversight of the Community Development Director for an initial term of three years. CDD will coordinate on fire related services, including development review and inspection services, with the Five Cities Fire Authority. At the end of the term, the City will evaluate the contract based on performance, cost-effectiveness, and overall service delivery, and may either extend the agreement or issue a new RFP to ensure continued competitive service for the community.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the contract is not to exceed $250,000, annually, for a term of three years. There is no net fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund. Costs associated with this Agreement are offset by revenues collected through permit and plan check fees, and inspection fees paid by applicants.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Award the contract for building and fire prevention services to JAS and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

Similar to JAS Paci c’s Executive Team’s development of Building Electri cation, Seismic Retro t, and other City special programs – JAS Paci c can develop building and
re code related ordinances for the City. Our ordinance
development would include discussion with City staff, the Department Director, research, drafting of an ordinance, meeting with City Attorney staff, drafting and presentation of the ordinance to community groups, Commissions and
City Council.

Request for Proposal | 22
Seismic Retrofit
JAS Paci c staff who have implemented and conducted
seismic retro t programs for jurisdictions in California.

JAS Paci c President Mr. Raj Patel, during this tenure as Building Of cial for the City of Beverly Hills, initiated a SoftStory Seismic Retro t Program for the city’s vulnerable soft-story apartment buildings. His development of the
program included technical research, initiation of several community meetings, and close correspondence with the
City Manager and City Council before success passage
of the ordinance, and a high completion rate of Soft-Story buildings in Beverly Hills.

JAS Paci c Senior Vice-President Mr. Ron Takiguchi
initiated and implemented a comprehensive seismic
retro t program while he was Building Of cial for the
City of Santa Monica. This included a mandatory seismic retro t for all vulnerable building types including SoftStory Buildings, Non-Ductile Concrete Buildings, and the Nation’s First Mandatory Seismic Retro t of Steel-Moment Frame Buildings. Related to this experience, Mr. Takiguchi authored a paper entitled “City of Santa Monica: Successful Implementation of Smaller Community Resilience”thatwas
published and presented at the Earthquake Engineering
Research Institute’s 2018 - 11th U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering Conference. JAS Paci c can
work with staff at Grover Beach to advise, develop and
initiate such programs.

Reach Codes / Zero Net Energy
During his tenure as Building Of cial for the City of Santa Monica, Mr. Ron Takiguchi – while working with the
Planning Department and Of ce of Sustainability and the Environment of Santa Monica developed a mandatory Zero
Net Energy (ZNE) Code for new single-family dwellings
– the third such ordinance to be implemented in the
State of California. The basis for ZNE achievement was
mandatory installation of a solar photovoltaic system
and other measures – years prior to the California Energy Commission’s requirement of solar augmentation. JAS
Paci c can work with Building & Safety for similarly related programs.

Building Electrification
Prior to the ruling of the United States Supreme Court to restrict banning of natural gas in buildings, Ron Takiguchi, during his tenure as Building Of cial for the City of
Pasadena, and Bob Latz serving the City of Sacramento,
developed mandatory Building Electri cation Programs for new commercial and multi-family buildings. Pasadena’s
Building Electri cation Program provided several
exceptions to the mandate while seeking health and
environmental bene ts of reduced fossil fuels in buildings.

Sacramento’s Electri cation Program was specialized
for new commercial applications with exceptions for the restaurant community and existing businesses.

Green Building - Sustainability
The process of State Building Code adoption provides an advanced look at developing and proposing codes and
standards. Included in this process are the Workgroups of various State Agencies and the Code Advisory Committees of the California Building Standards Commission. Ron
Takiguchi, member of the Green Building Code Advisory
Committee – since the inception of the CALGreen Code
– has an advanced look of proposed standards that are
publicly discussed and approved for the next building code cycle. Being at the development forefront, Ron Takiguchi and JAS Paci c can advise the City on measures in
anticipation of development and building standards, and can advise on City amendments to the CALGreen Code –
and California Energy Code.
