SUMMARY:
The City of Port Orange recently issued RFP 22-12 for Building Inspection and Plans Review Services. The contract was awarded to multiple respondents including Universal Engineering Sciences and ECS Florida LLC. The terms and conditions of this RFP mirror the City’s requirements. While the City of Edgewater is striving to reduce our need for external contractors for these services, there is still a need to have these resources under contract for overload and emergency services.
The City has utilized Universal Engineering Sciences in the past with good results and as there are limited firms that can provide this service in our area, staff is requesting that Council approve the request to piggy back the contract between the City of Palm Coast and Universal Engineering Sciences. Furthermore, as an additional resource, the City also requests approval to piggy back the contract between the City of Palm Coast and ECS Florida, LLC.
Both the vendors and the City of Port Orange have approved the Piggyback of the contract.
The City currently has an approved budget for Building Department Inspection Support and Services in the amount of $120,000 (001-1530-515.31-10)
