DEPARTMENT: Planning Department
INFORMATION: The Town currently retains Sungate Design Group (SDG) as its Town Engineer. SDG performs a number of professional engineering duties for the Town. Based on input from the development community, the Town has decided to include additional engineering firms in its development and construction plan review processes. The Town solicited qualifications from qualified firms to provide these services. Two firms, McGill Associates of Southern Pines, and Anderson and Associates of Greensboro, were selected as most qualified based on the RFQ evaluation criteria. Currently, Town staff is negotiating service contract terms with the selected firms. With three firms providing these services, the Town anticipates that plan review will be assigned to each firm on a rotating basis.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in the General Fund to cover these costs.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached resolution, authorizing the Town Manager to sign on behalf of the Town contracts for engineering plan review services with McGill Associates and Anderson and Associates.
