INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
Honorable- Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
FROM: Ona . Warshaw
City Manager
DATE: June 23, 1998 FILE
SUBJECT:
Proposed Resolution for
Plans Examiners/
REFERENCES: Professional Services
ENCLOSURES:
REEOMMENDATION '
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution to provide Plans Examiners services (Structural, Building,
Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing) for the Building and Zoning Department.
BACKGROUND
The Building and Zoning Department will be the starting point for many major
construction projects in the City of Miami, such as the Arena and the
Performing Arts Center (see attached list).
The present plans reviewing staff level will not be able to meet the construction
industry's demands within a reasonable time frame. The idea of hiring
temporary employees on a contractual basis will allow us to provide the service,
when it is needed by the industry, without incurring the costs involved in
hiring a permanent employee.
The Building and Zoning Department will enter into professional service
agreements with twelve (12) plans examiners: (4) Structural, (2) Building, (2)
Electrical, (2) Mechanical and (2) Plumbing. The funds are available under
account 560302-270, project 421001. The budgeted amount will be recovered,
since we will be charging $250.00 per discipline for each plan reviewed, totaling
$1,250.
Adoption of the attached resolution will not only allow the Building and Zoning
Department to meet the industry's demand for this service, but continue our
enforcement of the South Florida Building Code and encourage construction
with no additional cost to the City.
