Building Permit Plan Review Service

The County of Marin Community Development Agency, Building and Safety Division, is soliciting proposals for as-needed building permit plan review overflow assistance. The scope of work includes technical plan reviews for single-family and multifamily dwellings, commercial tenant improvements, and new or remodeled commercial buildings. Selected vendors must ensure complex project reviews are completed within fifteen business days and demonstrate the ability to use ProjectDox software for digital reviews. All work must comply with the California Building Standards Code (Title 24, CCR), AB 2234 timelines, and current state and local building codes. The contract is intended for an initial three-year term, with the possibility of two one-year extensions and further extensions if authorized by FEMA through CalOES. Award decisions will be based on the most advantageous proposal, with a 5.0 percent preference for local county businesses and another 5.0 percent for contractors certifying that at least 50 percent of their workforce are Marin County residents, capped at a total of 10.0 percent. Proposals must be submitted by November 27, 2026, via Bid Express or email. Administrative requirements include a pass/fail verification for debarment and suspension, as well as a pass/fail evaluation for interviews and demonstrations. The contractor must maintain a documented quality assurance and quality control program and provide a certificate of liability insurance naming the County of Marin as an additional insured. Invoicing is conducted on a net 30 basis via postal mail, and the County will withhold 7 percent from payments to non-resident California vendors. Final authority regarding code interpretation and document compliance remains with the County Building Official.
