TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: LAUREL PREVETTI, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE TOWN MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT
WITH O’BRIEN CODE CONSULTING, INC. FOR BUILDING DIVISION
PLAN CHECK CONSULTANT SERVICES.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement with O’Brien Code Consulting, Inc. for
Building Division Plan Check Consultant services.
BACKGROUND:
The Town has contracted with outside consultants to provide building permit application plan
checking services for more than 19 years. The Town needs to retain code and structural
engineering consultant plan check services because the Town does not have a Plan Check
Engineer position.
DISCUSSION:
The Plan Check consultant provides Building Division plan check services to the Town,
providing both non-structural and structural code review for building permit applications. Staff
sent out a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to learn the quality and costs of services available in
the marketplace. Staff sent out RFQs to six plan check consultant firms, and proposals were
received from the following firms:
O’Brien Code Consulting, Inc.
Interwest Consulting Group
4LEAF, Inc.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2016
DISCUSSION (Continued):
Staff carefully reviewed and evaluated the proposals and all the proposals were very competitive.

demonstrated record in meeting the expected turnaround times and providing exemplary service
to the Town. OCC has the following qualifications:
Licensed Civil Engineer
International Code Council Certified Plans Examiner
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional Certified
California Accessibility Specialist Program Certified
California Emergency Management Agency Safety Assessment Program
OCC also provides similar services to the City of Mountain View, City of Cam pbell, City of
Menlo Park, and City of Saratoga.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the responses to the RFQ, OCC is the most qualified and experienced plan check
services firm to provide Plan Check consultant services to the Town. The Principal is a very
knowledgeable building code professional and provides outstanding customer service.
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement with
O’Brien Code Consulting, Inc. for Building Division Plan Check Consultant Services.

prices . Ms . 0' Brien provides all plan review services and technical support for the

performing all general office duties. We have no additional employees, and this is what
allows us to provide consistent plan reviews , while keeping the cost to the client at a
minimum.
Our company philosophy is simple. We treat our clients the way they e xpect to be
treated . This means we are very responsive to the client's needs while provi ding
exemplary customer service . When an appli cant calls or emails our office, all technical
questions are answered promptly by M s. O 'Brien . Since she performs all plan reviews,
the caller can rest assured that they are talking to the plan review engineer who
actually reviewed their project and issued the comments . Our responsibility is to provi de
concise plan review correction lists with specific Code sections , and to clearly
communicate the intent of the Code .
We provide thorough and consistent plan reviews w ith quick t urn-around ti mes.
Typically, projects are returned to the client several days before they are due back to
the client. Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, there may be a need for
multiple pick-ups and deliveries to the jurisdiction on the same day. We understand
these urgent situations and our role to help facilitate the process . Ultimately, we
become an extension of the jurisdiction that the Building Official and Building Division
staff can rely on to provide the best service possible . We present ourse lves to the client
and the community as a tool to assist them through the building process, not as an
obstacle, which is frequently the public perception.
