County signs master services agreement for third‑party fire safety inspections; customers pay $18 per visit
Summary
Pickens County approved a no‑cost master services agreement with Inspection Vault to provide third‑party inspections of commercial fire safety equipment; customers will be charged $18 per visit.
Pickens County commissioners approved a master services agreement (MSA) with Inspection Vault to provide third‑party inspections of fire‑safety systems in commercial buildings.
County staff described the MSA as no cost to the county; the third‑party vendor will collect inspection data and make it accessible to county fire marshal operations. Staff said the vendor will perform inspections of hoods, fire alarms and other commercial safety equipment and that the company will compile inspection records into a system the county can access.
Staff also told the board the fee to the customer for each inspection will be $18 per visit. Commissioners approved the MSA by voice vote.
The meeting record did not include the full contract text, whether the $18 fee is charged to building owners or tenants, or how the county will integrate the vendor’s data into its inspection tracking systems. Staff said the vendor will perform the work "on the backside" and that the arrangement reduces the county’s administrative burden of tracking multiple commercial inspection records.
