SUMMARY: SAFEbuilt Washington, LLC has been assisting with our permit plan review and
examination services on a six month contract that began in May 2017. The contract was initiated due
to challenges of staff recruitment (vacancies) and continued assistance is needed with plan review
services until the open Building Development Specialist (BDSIII) position is filled.
Additionally, some plans submitted for permitting require structural engineering plan review that the
City staff is not licensed to evaluate. SAFEbuilt provides these specialized engineering services. This
structural engineering review would be on an as-needed/required basis: In 2018 Community
Development is proposing an amendment to our fee schedule to collect revenue to off -set this cost.
This contract modification allows the City to fulfill the current building standards for engineering
review and prevent a back -log of plan reviews during heavy volumes and/or staffing shortages by
creating an on-going service agreement with SAFEbuilt. The annual maximum compensation is not
to exceed $60,000.
ATTACHMENTS: Contract Modification #1 between the City of Bremerton and SAFEbuilt
Washington, LLC; The original Professional Services Agreement between the City of Bremerton and
SAFEbuilt Washington, LLC
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The motion proposes to amend the 2017
Community Development budget as follows: Reduce the Building Personnel Expenditures by
$75,000 and increase the Building Professional Services Expenditures by $75,000 due to position
vacancies. There is no impact on the General Fund.
