Attachment B —Permit Fee Tables
As part of the contract, your organization has agreed to perform plan review for a
percentage of the permit fees collected by the city. The attached tables are the current
tables in which "permit fees" are calculated.
Remodel fees are calculated as per Table 1-A.
New construction (whether a new free standing building or a new addition to an existing
building) is calculated by square footage per occupancy as per Tables 1-C-1 through 1-C-
4.
As part of the plan review, it is expected that the square footage, per occupancy, will
be confirmed in the Building Code review. This same square footage, per occupancy,
will be used for new construction fee calculation. As an example: A new school may
be reviewed as a non-separated Group E occupancy for Building Code purposes, but
the fee is based upon square footage of individual occupancies of the Group A's,
Group B's, Group E's, etc.
Projects that involve additions, usually involve remodel as well. Therefore, the fee will
be calculated in two parts: the dollar valuation of the remodel will be used to calculate
the remodel permit fee, and the new square footage will be used to calculate the addition
fee.
Separate permits are required per building. Therefore, an apartment project, while
expected to be processed and returned as one plan review project, will have separate
permits for each building, each having its own fee based upon its own square footage.
Plan review comments should be returned in a per permit manner as well.

Attachment C—Extra Item Check Sheet
Outside of the normal Building Code review, the following is a list of items that are to be
checked on the plan review. Such items have proven to be high complaint items if
discovered during the project or at final. Therefore, confirmation during plan review is
needed.
This list will be modified over time and should be expected to grow as other items as
problem issues in the future.
1. Aircraft hangers, per our interpretation, require floor drains. IBC Section 412.2.3
with local amendments. Confirm that one does exist. Do not size. Note it on the
permit for City staff follow up.
2. Secondary roof drainage. IPC 1107 with local amendments. Confirm that a
secondary roof drain does exist.
3. Mechanical roof top access for residential use, particularly townhouse. Each
townhouse with its own independent roof top equipment needs its own access to
that equipment. Access can either be through the individual unit, an outside
ladder per individual unit, or an outside community ladder with access across roof
tops.
Since city staff will not go through someone's private dwelling to get to another
tenants roof top unit, access must be obtained through one of the methods listed
above.
4. Kitchen hood sidewall discharge. There have been several problems with side
wall discharge from kitchen hoods, particularly downtown. Grease has been
distributed on the walls of neighboring buildings, creating a fire hazard. All
sidewall grease hood discharges should be noted for Building Official review.
5. Water heaters for residential units are not permitted in attics. Local amendments
to IRC M1305.1.3 & G2448.1.1, and IPC 502.3. Confirm that none exist.
6. Restrooms may require floor drains per our local amendment to IPC 412.4.
Confirm they exist where required. Do not size.

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/9/2006
DATE: Tuesday, May 09, 2006
LOG NAME: 06BJY REFERENCE NO.: C-21445
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Contract with BJYTexas, Inc., for Plan Review Services with the
Development Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with BJYTexas, Inc., for plan review services for a
period beginning with the execution of the contract and terminating on September 30, 2006 in the amount
not to exceed $210,000; and
2. Provide for three - one year renewals contingent upon appropriation of funds.
DISCUSSION:
The continual upward trends in construction permits has increased the work load of plans to be processed
through the Development Department. This increase has created a situation where outsourcing of plan
review services is believed to be necessary to better manage the peaks throughout the year.
The program will assist the City's efforts in reducing review times. This contract will allow for more timely
reviews of both Third Party and City submitted applications. The assignment of projects to this contractor
will be dictated by the need to meet plan review turnaround goals.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued on July 25, 2005. There were eight responders. After a
committee review, four where chosen to continue to the RFP proposal.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on September 21, 2005. All four venders responded. After
committee review, two were selected as the top candidates. BJYTexas, Inc., is the first of these two to be
considered for a contract.
A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and
approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of services is from a source where subcontracting or
supplier opportunities are negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of
the General Fund.
