RFP for Building and Fire Plan Review, Inspection, and Administrative Services (2027–2030)

The City of South San Francisco is soliciting proposals for building and fire plan review, inspection, and administrative services to support its Building and Fire Prevention Divisions from July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2030. The city seeks experienced consultants to provide flexible staffing and technical expertise to manage fluctuating workloads and complex construction projects, particularly within the biotechnology sector. The scope of work includes conducting building and fire plan reviews, performing construction inspections, and providing administrative support. Key performance requirements include completing initial fire plan reviews within ten business days, resubmittals within five business days, and providing inspections by the next business day when requested before the established cutoff. The city may select multiple firms to establish a consultant pool based on professional qualifications, competence, capacity, approach, past performance, and cost. The agreement allows for up to two optional one-year extensions beyond June 2030. Selected consultants must maintain valid business licenses and adhere to strict insurance and non-discrimination requirements. Invoicing is permitted once per month, with a thirty-day payment term, provided the invoices meet detailed documentation requirements. The city retains the right to terminate the agreement without cause upon written notification and may implement corrective action plans or reassign work if service level agreements are not met.
