Contractual Agreement for Temporary Re-roof and Re-side Inspection Services
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve an agreement for
temporary re-roof and re-siding inspection services with Darrel Gilmer, 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 three weeks on these inspection requests because of a 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 and re-siding permits that have and
may be issued yet this summer and fall. It is recommended that the attached proposed contract
with Darrel Gilmer be approved. Mr. Gilmer has been a licensed Building Inspector for over 20
years and has worked as a Building Inspector for the City of Farmington and Eureka Township.
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 two contract part-time inspectors address the backlog of re-roof and re-
siding inspections? Staff anticipates that bringing in a temporary contract inspector will
significantly reduce the backlog.
