515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: November 18, 1994 <br />RE: Building Official Contract <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Moreton <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Please find attached the proposed contract for building <br />inspection services. This contract would be with Gregory Schmit <br />of Castle Design and Development Company, Inc. It is possible <br />that some modifications could occur subject to review of the City <br />Attorney. <br />I have not received proposals from other potential service <br />providers. While I have had contacts with many firms regarding <br />their interest in providing this service, I feel that <br />Mr. Schmit's fee schedule is more than competitive and his <br />performance makes him a logical choice to meet our needs. It <br />should also be noted that North St. Paul has contracted with him <br />to be their building official as well. Therefore, I believe we <br />have a stable situation in that his workload should be enough to <br />keep him busy in this field. <br />I am recommending we contract with Mr. Schmit based on his <br />performance since August 1, 1994 as our Building Official. He <br />has proven to be thorough, professional, timely, knowledgeable in <br />his field, responsive, and consistent. He has fit in well with <br />our staff and he has provided us with many ideas as to improve <br />our current inspection system which will enhance customer service <br />as well as improve documentation for our own record - keeping <br />purposes. <br />I think Mr. Schmit will do an excellent job for the City and I <br />strongly recommend we contract for his services as proposed. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosure <br />Page 27 <br />
