i i i i ii i
With the current development activity within the East Tustin Specific Plan area
and the current workloads in the Department of Community Development, outside
plan check and inspection consultants continue to be needed to help provide
Building Division service~ in a timely and effective manner. The areas of plan
check services are structural building plan check and on-Site infrastructure
plan check which encompasses grading, "street/storm drain improvements and
landscape drawings of tract perimeters.
It is staff's desire 'Co renew the services of four of the City's current
consultants which hav¢~ been used over the last year and a half. These
consultants have generally agreed to renew and extend their services and fees at
the same rates as approved over a year ago With one exception {fees have been
adjusted for one consultant to compensate for insurance coverage).
Staff feels that by using the same consultants over the next year there will be
greater continunity provided in plan checking particularly large scaled, phased
projects in East Tustin that existing consultants have al ready begun work on.
Staff have also found existing services to be above average.
Each consultant's expertise in the projects completed during the last year are
as summarized in the attached exhibit.
