6.C. - Page 2 of 5 scale development projects to provide plan review and building inspection services. Amending this contract permits the City to continue using WC3 for plan check review and inspection services. WC3 has performed to the City's expectations, however, the City will have exhausted the authorized not - to -exceed amount of $1,000,000 prior to the end of the contract term which ends on June 30, 2019. The amendment would increase the not -to -exceed amount by $550,000 to $1,550,000. Some of the factors contributing to the need to increase the contract amount are WC3's ability to review fire plan checks, the cost of plan review for complex development projects, and the need for staff augmentation in the form of building inspectors and permit technicians due to staff who are on approved leave. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for this contract is included in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Building Division and Fire Department budgets. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. PUBLIC NOTICE Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. ALTERNATIVES The City Council may elect to not approve the Agreement, however, this may adversely impact the City's ability to provide Building Division and Fire Inspection services.
