DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
Since 2015, the Town of Yountville has contracted for plan check, building inspection, and building official services as needed on a part-time basis. These specialized services are needed to ensure new construction and additions and modifications to existing buildings comply with the health and safety requirements of the Town’s Building Code.
In October 2021, the Town entered into a one-year Professional Services Agreement with BPR Consulting Group (“BPR”) to perform these services. In addition to plan check, building inspection, and building official services, BPR also provides optional code enforcement, technology consulting, WELO review and IT support including assist with Solar APP+. The attached Professional Services Agreement includes these optional services.
The agreement with BPR needs to be renewed to allow for continuation of these services for the upcoming two fiscal years, as the Town of Yountville is now completing biennial budgets. The current Professional Service Agreement will expire at the end of June 2024. The Town has been satisfied with the services provided by BPR.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution to continue these important services within the Town.
