SUIUECT Proposed Resolution for Structural Engineer Professional Service FROM nez RUERENGEs Agreement City Manager ENCLOSURES it is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution to provide structural plans examiner services for the Building Department. BACKGROUND The South Florida Building Code was substantially amended as a result of Hurricane Andrew. One of the amendments to the Code requires that a licensed structural engineer review the plans in the permitting process. The City of Miami has been experiencing an increase in the number of construction projects being presented for review. Having additional structural plans reviewers available, on an as needed basis, will allow that the plans be processed within a reasonable time. The funds for this agreement are available in our budget. Adoption of the attached resolution will not only allow the Building Department to meet the industry's demand for this service, but continue our enforcement of the South Florida Building Code.
