Overview
Overview
The Engineering Division has been working with Chastain & Associates to provide permit plan review and inspection services for the Public Works Department. There has been an above-normal amount of permit applications in 2021 as compared to the previous 2 years and additional large permit applications for small cell installations and utility relocations which have required additional hours and costs above the contract value of $150,000. The amendment increases the agreement amount by $30,000 which will provide for enough consulting hours for permit reviews and inspections till the end of the year.
