APPROVING a contract for building plan check services for a one
The contract can be extended for three years by the City Manager for satisfactory
performance. The contract with EsGil has expired and this contract will be retroactive to July 1, 2008.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City's Building Department has, since 1980, contracted with ESGIL Corporation for building plan
checks. ESGIL Corporation works only for government entities and does not work for the private sector,
thereby eliminating the potential for a conflict of interest. ESGIL provides a full range of building
department related services hiring only engineers who are specialists in building department plan
checking.
ESGIL's contract with the City has allowed considerable flexibility in processing plans, and has reduced
the time necessary for plan checking when compared with the costs of providing in-house services.
During the last several years of service to Carlsbad, ESGIL has had an average turn-around time for plan
checks of 6 working days.
ESGIL Corporation's contract with the City is due for renewal. Based on ESGIL's high level of service
and their expertise in the area of building plan checks, staff is recommending that the proposed contract
be approved, and remain in effect for a one year period with the option to extend the contract for three
additional one (1) year terms. This contract is exempt from the bidding procedure under Carlsbad
Municipal Code Section 3.28.100 as a sole source provider.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Payments made to ESGIL Corporation for plan check services are funded from the Building
Department's Miscellaneous Professional Services account. Fiscal Year 2008-2009 revenues generated
from Building Plan Check fees are estimated to be approximately $680,000 with payments to ESGIL
projected at $395,000.

BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD AND ESGIL

AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
5 SAID AGREEMENT.
The City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, does hereby resolve as follows:
7 1. That the previous agreement between the City of Carlsbad and ESGIL Corporation,
8 approved by Resolution 2004-200 adopted June 22, 2004 and has terminated on June 30, 2008.

3. That the City Manager of the City of Carlsbad is hereby authorized and directed to
13 execute said agreement for and on behalf of the City of Carlsbad.
14 4. The Purchasing Officer has approved EsGil is a sole source provider under Carlsbad
Municipal Code § 3.28.070 because there is no other firm that can provide these services. The
City of Carlsbad requires a multi-disciplined professional plan review service to allow building
17
plan check review to be completed by one provider. This results in consistent, uniform code
18
interpretation and enforcement. It is also required that the offices be regionally located in order
to provide expedited turn-around cycles and to be in close proximity to local architects, engineers
and designers. No other local firm can provide all of these services. Esgil is utilized by sixteen
22 other municipalities in San Diego County. Compensation for services is value based and
collected directly from development fees and only on work performed, rather than a flat or
24 estimated rate.
