A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.
The Building and Safety Division of the Community Services Department has experienced a steady increase in the number of applications for building permits. In an effort to provide timely building permit services to the development community, the use of outside plan checking services are needed to augment those provided by existing staff. The Building and Safety Division requested statements of qualifications (SOQ) from several firms that provide professional plan checking services and selected West Coast Code Consultants, Inc as a qualified professional services firm. Should the Council approve the contract attached to this staff report, West Coast Code Consultants, Inc will provide plan review services on an as-needed basis. Staff recommends approval.
