Dunsmuir approves RFP for building inspector services; responses due Sept. 27
Summary
Council authorized release of a request for proposals for building official services with submissions due by 4:00 PM on Sept. 27, 2024; discussion covered interim county coverage, certification requirements and procurement timing.
The Dunsmuir City Council voted to release a request for proposals for building inspector (building official) services and set a submission deadline of 4:00 PM on Sept. 27, 2024. The city manager introduced the RFP and said the intent is to award an interim contract while evaluating longer-term options, with an adoption target in early November if the schedule holds.
Councilmembers asked about interim county services and qualifications for proposers, including certifications such as CASP for accessibility or other trade-specific credentials. One councilmember moved to approve and release the RFP; the motion was seconded and carried. The council discussed options to bring selected proposals forward and the potential to use county services as a stopgap if cost or qualifications render finalists unsuitable.
The city packet references specific qualification language (noted on packet Section 3, page 16) that will be part of the procurement. Councilmembers encouraged staff to consider expedient interim inspection solutions while the RFP process runs through the 30-day public response window.
