Inspection Services Commercial Plan Review Contract with McMahon and
Associates
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
With a reorganization of the Inspections Division back in 2012 there was a need for additional
support in performing commercial plan reviews for the City. The Inspection Services Division
contracted with McMahon and Associates for the purpose of reviewing commercial building
plans to aid in the efficiency of plan review turn-around times. Developers have the option of
submitting plans to the State of Wisconsin for review or to the City of Oshkosh. The
agreement had previously been a year to year contract. Staff is recommending a 3 year
agreement with the option for two 1 year extensions. The contract has been very helpful in
achieving and maintaining the goal of plan review times of less than 5 business days since
the original contract was put in place.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on past usage, the City anticipates each year of the agreement to be around $30,000
for a total of $90,000 for the 3 year period. The payment of the agreement is covered with
the fees collected from the plan review fees paid by applicants of the commercial building
reviews. The impact of this agreement is budget neutral as there are no payments made to
the contractor unless a review is conducted and that review has been paid for by the
applicant.
City Council approves the professional service agreement with McMahon and Associates in
the amount of $90,000 for inspection plan reviews.
Respectfully submitted, Approved,
