Professional Services Contracts for On-Call Development Review Department of Public Works
May 20, 2025
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department requires on-call plan check and other engineering services for as-needed support staff to assist with private development plan check and general engineering support services.
NEED/WHY/BENEFITS
Applicants who submit private development projects to the Public Works Department are required to pay fees for plan check and development review services. Reasonable service levels are expected in return. Historically, when development activity increases such that City staff can no longer meet these demands, staff’s efforts are supplemented by services provided by consulting engineers. This approach is a cost-effective method of closing the gap between the demands for service and the ability of City staff to meet these demands, while maintaining high-quality customer service levels.
