BACKGROUND:
In 2015, the Planning and Building Department entered into a contract with CSG Consultant for the provision of plan check services, with an original term of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 and payment limit of $90,000.

The Department is seeking authorization to extend the CSG contract for another year and increase the payment limit by $200,000, to allow the Department to work on the issuance of the RFP and the selection process that will follow.
