Overview
Overview
The Engineering Division requested proposals for permit plan review and inspection services for the Public Works Department. The Village received six proposals and interviewed two firms. The proposal from Chastain & Associates best fit the needs of the Village for this project. Staff is recommending approving the contract at the available budget amount of $100,000.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
There are available funds for this work in the FY2019 Budget in the General Fund, Public Works - Engineering, Base Program, External Support account no. 1001-43700-101-530667 which provides $100,000 for consultant support for permit and inspection services.
Background
In order to assist with the Village's extensive capital improvement plan and to meet customer service turnaround times for permit plan review and for permit inspections, funds were included in the 2019 budget to hire a consultant to assist the Engineering Division and the Public Works Department with permit plan reviews and inspections. The proposal from Chastain & Associates provided part-time staffing for these services, typically at a 3-day per week level, with staff that previously served as the Engineering Division manager at the Village of Schaumburg. This relevant, and high level, experience will help ensure that customer service goals are met and permit projects are administered in a thorough and timely fashion while also mitigating any impacts to the surrounding community. This is also a better alternative than hiring additional part-time staff as the Department can utilitze these services only as needed.
