REGARDING: INSPECTION AND PLAN REVIEW FEE SCHEDULE
Study Session Agenda Item
Attached is a draft of a Resolution establishing engineering inspection and
plan review fees including provisions for liability insurances and construction
assurances.
At this time, the City is not being reimbursed for performing plan reviews or
inspections in comparison to the Building Division charging a plan review fee
for review of plans and inspection of buildings in order to offset costs
incurred by the City. Essentially, the same process should be applied to the
Engineering Division for similar work.
In preparing this resolution, we have made inspection fee studies comparing
�.,. other city' s fee schedules. These comparisons are attached for your review.
We have also performed fee studies for plan reviews and have made comparison
checks against recent projects designed and constructed in Apache Junction to
our current standards and requirements.
As this resolution involves myriad complicated procedures, we would be happy
to discuss any questions you may have prior to the study session in order to
expedite the review.
