| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
In August of 2016, the City of Allen entered into an agreement with Bureau Veritas North America, LLC to provide building inspection services to augment the City staff in order to keep up with the increasing demand for inspections due to the high level of construction activity within the City of Allen.
Since the inception of that agreement, the high level of construction activity has continued. Further, the competitive job market has necessitated the need to continue augmenting staff workload as well as evaluate additional options for providing this service. This contractual arrangement is beneficial in that is allows for flexibility in providing this service as development patterns fluctuate.
On May 9, 2019, the Purchasing Division received two (2) responsive submittals for the Building Inspection Services, Request for Proposal #2019-4-44.
Proposals have been evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Firm Experience,
- Qualifications,
- Staffing Capabilities,
- References, and
- Price.
Our goal is to determine which vendor can provide the best combination of experience, capability, quality and services. Based on review of specific rating criteria, we seek Council's approval to award a contract as the Primary Vendor to SAFEbuilt Texas, LLC and a contract to Bureau Veritas North America, LLC as an Alternate Vendor.
