End
Overview
Overview
In order to improve customer service, the Village of Oak Park wishes to outsource day-to-day plan review activities as well as certain plan review and inspection activities for assigned permit applications.

Body
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Resolution

Fiscal Impact
The 2017 contract for services is $784,657.00 and is budgeted in line item 1001-46250-101-530667, which has a total budget amount of $900,000.00.

Background
In January 2015, the Village issued a Request for Proposals to outsource day-to-day plan reviews as well as the plan review and inspection services for several larger projects. We decided that the best option for Oak Park would be to outsource inspections and plan reviews by using in-house reviewers employed by a third party. The Request for Proposals provided that the successful vendor would be eligible for two contract extensions for a total of three years. The 2017 contract is the third contract extension.

After working well with the currect consultant, we are recommending continuing with a contract with HR Green.

Chief Building Official Steve Cutaia will have day to day responsibility to coordinate the work of the plan reviewers employed by HR Green and process plan reviews as needed. The Permit Processing Supervisor will continue to have day to day responsibility to oversee the Permits Counter and staff Building Inspector.

Alternatives
NA.
