Contractual Agreement for Temporary Re-roof Inspection Services
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve an agreement for
temporary re-roof inspection services with Chuck Brezen, effective August 5, 2019.
Overview
As a result of a hail storm earlier this summer, the City has issued 849 re-roof permits in June and
July of this year. During the same period last year, the City had issued 219 re-roof permits. This
has created a backlog of requests to inspect completed re-shingled roofs and we are currently out
more than 3 weeks on these inspection requests because of the high level of other permit activity.
Staff is recommending that we contract with two private inspectors through the end of November
in order to deal with the current backlog as well as new re-roof permits that have or may be issued
yet this summer and fall. It is recommended that the attached proposed contract with Chuck
Brezen be approved. Mr. Brezen has been involved in residential construction for many years and
was a contract re-roof inspector for the City in 2014, which was the last major hail storm event in
Lakeville.
The proposed agreement calls for the contractor to receive $25 for each re-roofing permit for which
inspection services are provided. The current total fee for re-roof permits is $50. Upon 30 day
written notice to the contractor, the City has the right to cancel this agreement without cause. Staff
recommends approval of the attached agreement for temporary re-roof and re-siding inspection
services.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Will bringing in a contract inspector address the backlog of re-roof inspections? Staff
anticipates that bringing in two temporary contract inspectors will significantly reduce the
backlog.
