Multidisciplinary On Call Professional Services: Plan Check, Engineering, Environmental, and Office & Field Support

The City of Pinole is soliciting proposals for multidisciplinary on-call professional services to support its Community Development and Public Works Departments. The objective is to supplement staff capacity and improve operational efficiency across building, planning, engineering, environmental compliance, and public works functions. The city intends to establish four-year contracts beginning February 1, 2027, to handle routine operations such as plan checks, permit processing, and inspections, as well as urgent needs for capital improvement projects and regulatory compliance. Services include technical reviews for residential and commercial projects consistent with California Building Standards Codes, with specific requirements for Certified Access Specialist review on non-residential and multi-family plans. The selection process is based on the vendor's ability to meet proposed needs at a reasonable price rather than the lowest cost. Awardees must maintain liability and workers compensation insurance, obtain a City business tax certificate, and utilize the Central Square Technology Community Development Suite for electronic submissions. Payment is issued monthly for authorized services, with a 30-day payment term and a final 10 percent retention paid within 60 days of project completion. Proposals are due by November 30, 2026, and must include a detailed fee schedule, firm qualifications, and a minimum of three references from similar projects completed within the last five years.
