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. d�57-'JGP/JP/ SJV:rb 98- 689
