KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED
Streamline The Delivery of Services Through All Departments
FUNDING
The annual cost associated with the procurement of plans review, inspections and permit
clerk services is subject to funds availability approved through the City's budgeting process.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach Building Department requires supplemental services related to plans
review, inspections and permit clerk services through third-party contractors. The City currently
has a month-to-month contract, with several service contractors to provide these services. The
current providers are: CAP Government, M.T. Causley, Nova Engineering and Vertical
Assessment. These services are necessary to address the variable demand requirements in
the Building Department, and to be able to offer customers a high level of service.
The intent of this RFQ was to award a contract to a minimum of two (2) consultants to provide
these services for a term of three (3) years with two (2) one (1) year options to renew at the
discretion of the City Manager. One major change in the recently released RFQ is that
providers who also provide the same services to private contractors will be prohibited from
being award. The reason for this is that potential conflicts exist when a service provider acting
on behalf of the City in plans review, inspections and permit services is involved with private
contractors for whom the same service provider is also providing services.
RFQ PROCESS
On October 29,2014, the City Commission approved to issuance of Request for Qualifications
(RFO) No.2015-073-JR, following the lndustry Review Meeting. On February 13,2015, the
