Amendment #1
Professional Service
Contract
CSG Consultants, Inc
Professional Building Inspection Services
March 4, 2025
Background
• The Community Development Department requires a
professional service contract for Building Inspection
Services to assist with maintaining service levels in the field for Building Inspections.
• The City is obligated to facilitate inspections as required by permit issuance. Applicants pay a fee for this service and wait times for inspections are expected to be no more than 2 days, with 3 days being the threshold of when public
complaints start.
Background (cont.)
• On February 12, 2024 - Request for Proposal (RFP) was posted in compliance with Chapter 3.03 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. Eleven (11) proposals were received.
• The reviewing committee selected CSG Consultants, Inc. as the most qualified consultant based on a scoring system established by Purchasing. • On July 1, 2024, the Community Development Department executed a professional service contract for $95,000. This amount is exhausted and an amendment for $385,000 is requested to continue service through the expiration date of the contract, June 30, 2027.
Analysis
• On average, the contract inspector completes 4000-5000 inspections per year. The work completed by the contract inspector, helps to keep wait times for scheduled inspections at a minimal level.
• The contract inspector is used only when demand deems it necessary. The contract inspector does not have any guarantee of work until work is assigned. • All funding for contract will be approved through the regular budget adoption process.
No additional appropriation is requested at this time.
• Recommended Action: Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and CSG Consultants, Inc., for Field Inspection of Construction Projects” an increase from $95,000 to $480,000. • Alternative Action: Do not approve the contract and direct staff accordingly.
Building Inspection request times are likely to increase, and services levels will decrease until new contract or solution is approved.
