CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROY BRUCKNER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 21, 2003
SUBJECT: $75,000 INCREASE IN PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER 310603 WITH WILDAN AND ASSOCIATES
FOR BUILDING PLAN CHECKING AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR A NEW TOTAL OF $125,000
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve an increase of $75,000 for Blanket Purchase Order number
310603 for Wildan and Associates for Building Division plan checking and inspection services, for a new total
of $125,000.
BACKGROUND
Plan checking and inspection demand has been very high, with Mountain Cove, Mountain View Business Park,
10th Street Business Park, and the APU dormitory building (all added to the normal workload), having exceeded
staff resources. Willdan and Associates is the City’s vendor who provides plan checking and interim inspection
services to complement existing staff. While significant building revenue has been realized from these projects
to offset the cost of services, this year’s budget for plan checking, as well as the purchase order for this vendor
(original purchase order amount of $50,000), has been exceeded due to the high service demand. Accordingly,
the purchase order for this vendor needs to be increased.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY2003 operating budget for the Community Development Department had already been increased by
$40,000 to accommodate services above and beyond the original $50,000 budget. Another budget
amendment in an amount of $35,000 will be processed administratively in order to bring both the amended
budget and purchase order to a new total of $125,000. Both budget amendments will be reported in our
Quarterly Budget Amendment Report to City Council. Plan check and inspection services are currently being
analyzed to determine whether additional permanent staffing of those functions are warranted based on
current and projected building activity in the City. There is no net fiscal impact to the General Fund as increased
revenue covers the cost of the increased expense.
