On April 27, 2021, the City Council approved a one-year time extension under the same terms of the agreement, including the compensation cap limit of 47% fee for plan check services and 47% for building permit fees collected. At this time, staff is recommending Council approve an extension for six (6) months under the same terms and conditions of the original agreement. DISCUSSION The Building and Safety Division serves and protects the public by ensuring that building construction complies with the California Building Standards Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations) as well as State safety laws, disabled access, and City Ordinances.

The City currently contracts with Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. to provide the day-to-day Building and Safety Division services, including building permit technicians, building plan check, building inspection services, and building official responsibilities. Throughout the term of the agreement (since May 31, 2018), Interwest has met the City's expectations and fulfilled its responsibilities of serving as the Building and Safety Division. The Building and Safety Professional Services Agreement (PSA) fee is offset by the building plan check and building permit revenues. The fees will remain the same at 47% of the building plan check and 47% of building permit net revenues, excluding the Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (SMIP) and Green Building Standards fees required by the State of California. The Building and Safety contract costs will be included in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 proposed budget.

By: Name: Title: [If Corporation, TWO SIGNATURES, President OR Vice President AND Secretary, AND CORPORATE SEAL OF CONTRACTOR REQUIRED] In Name: Rachel Richman Date City Attorney Title: Attachment B Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., Staff Report and Professional Service Agreement Dated May 31, 2018 ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER, J. W . DATE: MAY 8, 2018 SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR BUILDING AND SAFETY DIVISION 4-10131r.vM The Building and Safety Division serves and protects the public by ensuring that building construction complies with California Building Standards Code (Title 24, California Lode of Regulations) as well as State safety laws, disable access, and City Ordinances. As a contract city, Rosemead has historically contracted its Building and Safety Division of the Community Development Department with Los Angeles County ("County") or a private consultant. From Rosemead's incorporation as a City in 1959, the County had provided Building and Safety services until 1981 when the City entered into a service contract with Willdan Engineering ("Willdan"). Since 1981, Willdan has provided ongoing building and safety services under Professional Service Agreement(s) ("Agreement") with the City. The current Agreement with Willdan was entered on April 28, 2015 and is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2018. The Agreement does include an option for the City to extend the Agreement two (2) additional years. However, Staff felt prudent and in the best interest of the City, to release a Request for Proposal ("RFP") in order to ensure that the City retains for upcoming years the highest qualified consulting services at a competitive cost. The City received a strong response to the RFP with eleven (11) submittals. After careful consideration of each proposal, including but not limited to; responses to the RFP requirements, firms' history and ability to provide services, proposed staff qualifications, proposed fee structures, and interviews with the four qualified low bidding firms, staff believes that entering into a new contract with Interwest Consulting Group would be the best course of action for the City at this time. ITEM NO.7.B City Council Meeting May 8, 2018 Page 2 of 10 DISCUSSION Reauest For Proposal ("RFP" The RFP for building and safety services was released on February 22, 2018, with posting on the City's website and distribution to thirteen (13) prospective firms. Proposals were due to the City Clerk's Office on March 22, 2018, where the received submittals remained unopen until after the 3:00 p.m. deadline. No proposal was received after the deadline. All received proposals are on file with the City Clerk's office for public record and review. The scope of service was prepared with the current service efficiency level in mind and to ensure that the City would continue to receive services on an all-inclusive percentage compensation fee schedule with no additional fees for building services charged by the consultant. The terms included the minimum number of full time staff that must be assigned to the City, counter service hours and over-the-counter plan check, building inspection services (including morning inspections on Fridays), and others. As such, the service level would be consistent with the current operation of the Building and Safety Division which is operating efficiently. The RFP also clarified the compensation schedule and staffing as follows: Compensation is clarified as "net revenue." Net revenue excludes added fees or charges, such as fines, penalties, and others where no added service is provided by the consultant. For example, the net revenue does not include double fee fine for construction without a permit (which the fine recover costs to correct the violation by Code Enforcement and Planning services). Refund of plan check or building permit fee where an applicant withdraws the project is also removed in net revenue calculation. • City Hall staffing is to include: o Certified Building Official (full-time) o Certified Combination Building Inspector (full-time) o Permit Technician(s) (full-time) o Certified Plan Checker (part-time city hall) and outside service for larger projects The requirement for "Certified" Building Official, Building Inspector and Plan Checker is to comply with the State of California Health and Safety Code, Chapter 7 (Construction Inspectors, Plans Examiners, and Building Officials). Specifically, Section 18949.28(a) requires, "[A]ll construction inspectors, plans examiners and building nffic•ials.......obtain certification from a recognized .state, national, or international association, as determined by the local agency. " Section 18949.29(a) further states, "[.4]11 construction inspectors, Plans examiners, and building o cials shall complete a minimum of 45 hours gf'continuing education for every three-year period, with at least eight hours regarding disability access requirements pursuant to subdivision (d). " City Council Meeting May 8, 2018 Page 3 of 10 The intent of the aforementioned statutes is to protect the public safety by ensuring that those professionals that are plan checking, inspecting building construction, and making building code interpretations are experienced and qualified to do so through a certification process. Additionally, the California Building Code is updated every three - years and continuing education requirements ensure that such building professionals are up-to-date on the most current Code standards. The current Agreement calls out for a full-time Building Official, Building Inspector, and Permit Technician. City Hail over-the-counter plan check services is to be provided in the mornings between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., and also 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. (and as requested by appointment). Additional staff is to be provided as needed to meet the demands of an increase in workload. Responses to the RFP The City received a strong response to the RFP with receipt of eleven (11) submittals. The following is a table of the proposals arranged from low to high bidder in service fee: Bureau Veritas/California Code Check 47% 47% Willdan Engineering 50% 50% Transtech Engineers 51% 51% Interwest Consulting 54% 54% J Lee Engineering 60% 50% VCA Code 60% S0% Charles Abbott Assoc. fee is based on pr(jecl valuation) $0-$50,000=600/a $50,0014100,000=55% >$100,001=50% $0-$50,000=60% $50,001-$100,000=55% x$100,001=50% EsGil 62% 62% Hayer Consultants 65% 65% CSG Consultants 75% 75% Infrastructure Engineers 70 to 90% 70 to 90% The City's current Agreement maintains the consultant fees at 55% of plan check and 60% of building permit revenues. Thus, the RFP process and the received proposals has given an opportunity for the city to receive building and safety services at reduced costs. As an example and utilizing calendar year 2017 revenues, below is a table of service fee calculation based on the 55% and 60% service fees vs. the low bidder fee of 470/x: City Council Meeting May 8, 2018 Page 4 of 10 Consultant Proposals: Stag thoroughly reviewed the eleven (11) responsive proposals and found that all firms submitting proposals showed the minimum capacity to perform the requested services. All firms showed history and ability to provide building plan check, inspection, and building division staffing services. As such, the salient initial ranking criteria was the proposed fee schedule (as noted above) and of which four firms, Bureau Veritas/California Code Check, Willdan Engineering, Transtech Engineers, and Interwest Consulting, proposed a measureable cost savings from the City's current 55% and 60% fee schedule.

Interwest has agreed to match the low bidder rate of 47% for both plan check and building permit revenues. Interviews and Staff? s Recommendation Staff invited the four low responsive bidding firms for an interview and specifically requested that the proposed staffing for Rosemead attend. It was evident that all four firms demonstrated the minimum experience and capacity to provide building and safety functions as requested. As such, the interviews were focused to ensure that the proposed staff for Rosemead were credentialed, qualified and would work well with city staff and departments. The questions asked included among others: 1. Please briefly introduce your firm, and specifically describe in more detail the proposed city hull staff ng personnel, City Council Meeting May 8, 2018 Page 8of10 2. Please talk about the firm's staffing resources. If the f rm's Rosemead assigned staff'take leave (sick, vacation or other), does the firm have staffing resources to provide replacement stgffrng without interruption? If the City request replacement of'an assigned.stgff, would the firm have the ability to immediately provide a replacement? 3. Please describe your proposed compensation structure. 4. .Situation Question: The city frequently deals with unpermitted structures. How would you address the matter and what would be the steps for finding a solution (unpermitted addition to a single family home)? CONCLUSION Although all four firms interviewed and responded well to the questions, it is staff's recommendation that retaining Interwest Consulting Group as Rosemead's consultant for Building and Safety Division function would be the best course of action for the City at this time for the following reasons: Interwest exhibited the most understanding and experience in providing the full and all- inclusive services required by Rosemead. Interwest provides similar full service contracts to the cities of Pomona, Lake Forest, and Eastvale. The reference checks were positive with comments that included, "no public complaint," "responsive with staff change needs," "great customer service," "service was so good that (we) never hired full- time star." ■ The firm retains adequate company resources to augment increases in workload with additional city hall staff as needed. Interwest understood the City's all-inclusive percentage compensation fee schedule structure and that an increase in workload would require a greater number of plan checks and permit issuance. The increase in workload would also generate an increase in revenue which would provide compensation for additional staffing that would be needed to ensure that the Building and Safety Division runs efficiently. Reference checks confirmed that Interwest has been responsive to staffing needs. Interwest retains certified professional staffing to comply with the State's Health and Safety Code's requirement for Certified Building Official, Certified Plan Checker, and Certified Building Inspector, and certifications for the proposed Rosemead staff are confirmed. Interwest also listed the firm's staffing resources and their licenses and certification numbers on pages 18 to 20 in the proposal. Interwest demonstrated a strong partnership philosophy and commitment of providing Rosemead with a high level of service as part of the all-inclusive fee structure. Staff was City Council Meeting May 8, 2018 Page 9 of 10 also impressed with Interwest's proposed city hall staffing personnel, and believe that Interwest staff would work well with city hall staff and the City's customers. • The firm is also actively involved in community and civic programs for cities that it serves. Interwest has worked with local high schools in offering an internship program to introduce students to the building profession. Interwest hires about 12 students annually. The firm also provides college scholarships and has awarded between 150 to 200 scholarships in the past 5 to 7 years. Additionally, Interwest has supported community events such as parades and other recreational events. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council authorize the City Manager and the Community Development Director to finalize negotiations with Interwest Consulting Group for Building and Safety Division Services pursuant to the Request for Proposal No. 2018-06 at service fee not to exceed 47% for building plan check and 47% for building permit of net revenues, and for the City Manager to execute a Professional Service Agreement for a term of three (3) years with two (2) one-year options. FISCAL IMPACT The Building and Safety Professional Service Agreement fee is offset from building plan check and building permit revenues. As proposed, the proposed fee is 47% of the building plan check and 47% of building permit net revenues. Since the current Agreement fee structure is 55% of plan check and 60% of building permit revenues, the proposed Agreement would yield a cost savings to the City. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT None.

Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant: 1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 3_ All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. 5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor. 6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent. 7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify ❑-2 such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City. 10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. 11. Consultant agrees not to self -insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or selfinsured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City. 13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. 15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to D-3 this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect. 16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages. 17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents. 18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all- inclusive, 19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such. 20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City. D-4
