THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO: City Administrator March 12, 1987

FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Proposed Fee Schedule for Municipal Inspection -
Public Works Cammittee March 10, 1987

Recommendation:

That the attached fee schedule be approved for use where
Developers request the City to do inspections instead of hiring
a Consultant Engineer.

Background and Comments:

The new Subdivision Bylaw requires the Jeveloper to hire a
Professional Engineer to conduct regular daily inspections of
the works to be instaliad on behal# of the City unless the
Developer hires the City to do the inspection. The Draposed .

rates are intended to recover the costs of inspection services
: Supplied by the City. . .

We have shown a Sliding scaie since it is more expensive to
inspect small projects than large projects. You will note that
in most cases it is less than would have been collected under
the old system of charging four percent of the estimated cost
of-the workse On the other hand, the four percent included the
cost of administration during the subdivision process.

We feel that the rates are very fair and should be

competitive with services which would be supplied by outside oy
consulting firms.
