This agenda item asks the City Council to approve a professional services contract for building inspection services to Bureau Veritas in an amount not to exceed $180,000. Bureau Veritas currently provides these services to the Building division of the Community Services Department; the proposed contract would extend the City’s use of their services through June 30, 2019.

Background:

Since June of 2015, the Building Division of the Community Services Department has utilized contract workers provided by third-party vendors as building inspectors to handle increased demand for building inspections.

Bureau Veritas submitted a proposal dated May 14, 2018 (see attachment) to provide the City of Sparks with professional building inspection services. Bureau Veritas currently provides these services to the Building division of the Community Services Department; the proposed contract would extend the City’s use of their services for the period through June 30, 2019. Staff has reviewed the proposal and find the terms acceptable.

Alternatives:

1. The City Council could approve the contract.

2. The City Council could reject the contract and provide direction to the City Manager.

Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the professional services contract with Bureau Veritas in an amount not to exceed $180,000 for contract labor to provide building inspection services for fiscal year 2019.
