At the current workload and staffing level, the inspectors do not have enough time for adequate inspection coverage which includes quality control and quality assurance according to the City's requirements and the "Greenbook ", Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. In anticipation of the busiest construction months this summer, staff requested Statement of Qualifications from three qualified construction inspection services firms on an as- needed basis. Three Statement of Qualifications were received from Psomas, Annealta Group, and Municipal Utility Management. The three Statement of Qualifications were evaluated, and ranked. Two firms were invited for meetings and interviews, Annealta Group and Municipal Utility Management.

The rate for Senior Construction Inspector ranged from $95- $155/hour and for Annealta Group is $115/hour. The City also checked with the County of Orange, and the County's hourly rate is $139.
