- COST RECOVERY ALIGNING WITH EXPENSE MAKE FEE SCHEDULE SIMPLE AND UNDERSTANDBALE SITE PLANS: FOCUS LAST YEAR; THIS YEAR – TRADE PERMITS ASSOCIATED WITH BUILDING PLANS; ELEVATORS, ADJUSTMENTS TO SITE INSPECTIONS AND PLAN REVIEW BASED ON SOST RECOVERY Fee structure has been in place for a long time. Fees have been raised, but not commensurate with our actual costs. Costs fluctuate, fees should be tied to that fluctuation. Cover 100% of costs. We are looking for our fees to be fair, consistent, and predictable. In some cases, fees go up to cover costs. Trades We’re moving from what is primarily a rating type structure to an overall quantity structure. This allows a contractor to go online, see that they’re installing 10 pieces of equipment and quickly be able to determine their fee. Versus having to do calculations on the rating/size of the equipment. It aligns with our effort to improve the speed, consistency and predictability of our processes.
- NO NET INCREASE ON PROJECTS OVERALL SIMPLIFIED FEE STRUCTURE FOR CONSISTENCY AND TRANSPARENCY This brings it in line with other trades for consistency and allows us to simplify and prepare for PLUS All installation permits will be charged at the same rate (percentage of contract value) + a fee for a range of fixtures being installed or replaced This is also based on moving from a rating-type fee structure to a quantity-type rating structure, more in line with our cost recovery focus on fees paying for the work we do. We have been working to simplify how we charge our fees. All-in-all, this should be close to revenue-neutral, but may have an impact on fees associated with specific trades. Consistency Among Trade Permit Fees Slight Cost Decrease Overall Mechanical Permits Historically have been charged four different ways: 2.4% of contract value + installation fee per piece of equipment + piping + ductwork Now charging for 1.0% of contract value + type of equipment, including new fees for miscellaneous equipment. This will result in revenue loss of as much as $1 million in this trade permit area, most of which will be made up by adding the 1% contract value to all commercial trade permits. Revenue analysis is neutral on the portion charged for fixtures; reduces on contract value and fee per foot of piping and ductwork. Reduce by close to $650,000 (out of $1.1 million) Electrical Permits Adding a charge of 1.0% of the contract value + type of equipment This should result in revenue gain of $375,000 Electrical may start at $120,000 for a full electrical install in a 16,000 SF office building. Our charge of 1% will add $1,200 to the total. On average, this could generate close to $600,000 based on a mix of 50 commercial and 900 mid tenant alterations at this level. Plumbing Permits Adding a charge of 1.0% of the contract value + type of equipment This should result in revenue gain of $225,000 Plumbing, for instance may start at $75,000 for a full plumbing install in a 16,000 SF office building. We would charge 1% of that, added to the fixture range to total $750. On average, this could generate close to $225,000, based on a mix of 50 commercial and 500 mid tenant alterations.
- FEES ARE GOING UP TO MODERNIZE FEE SCHEDULE AND TO ADDRESS HOW ELEVATORS ARE INCORPORATED INTO BUILDING TODAY ENSURE THAT FEEDBACK LOOP IS CREATED AND THAT ALL TESTS ARE COMPLETED AND PASSED ON SCHEDULED BASIS All must be permitted Commercial equipment must be tested periodically (six months); annually (one year); and re-accepted every five years Fee Structure is Easy to Understand and Calculate Additional Costs for Building Owners, But in Line with Costs for Major Inspections Former floor fee was $47 per floor, charged only on the elevator that goes to the highest floor in the building. Buildings now don’t always have central elevator banks. When testing is performed, it has to be performed on each elevator at each floor where it stops. Installation Permit Fee Changes Contract value percentage increased from 2.0% to 2.4% Floor fee added to all elevators Construction elevators/hoists decreased from $289 to $266 Added private residence elevator re-inspection fee (if needed) Annual Permit Fee Changes Floor fee added to all equipment Elevator Base Fee remains same Escalator/Moving Walk Fee remains same Dumbwaiter/Lift Fee increase by $2 Consolidated and added reinspection fee if equipment is not ready for inspection Also specifically stated re-test fees when tests are failed Added five year re-acceptance fee to consolidate all of the tests that are performed into one fee (also, many of which were not charged in the past) Also added fees for demolition and to remove elevator from service.
- Simplify Inspection Fees and Base on Cost Recovery Model Inspection Costs will be Based on Complexity and not Size Based on review for major site plan types from FY2016 – FY 2019 (323 plans) Major Site Plan: Average Disturbed Acres: 3; Average # of Inspections Performed per stop: 6; Average # of Inspection Stops: 225; Total Cost: $55,913 Avg Fee in FY19: $39,440 Min: $1,608 Max: $147,898 Median: $29,399 TESTING WITH RECENT PLANS: Average Decrease of $3,400 Subdivision Plan: Average Disturbed Acres: 10; Average # of Inspections Performed per stop: 4; Average # of Inspection Stops: 325; Total Cost: $57,687 Avg Fee in FY19: $62,542 Min: $15,612 Max: $231,915 Median: $43,062 TESTING WITH RECENT PLANS: Average Increase of $1,165 Public Improvement Plan: Average Disturbed Acres: 1; Average # of Inspections Performed per stop: 3; Average # of Inspection Stops: 125; Total Cost: $17,750 Avg Fee in FY19: $21,405 Min: $2,409 Max: $249,022 Median: $5,183 TESTING WITH RECENT PLANS: Average Decrease of $3,000 Fee structure is now based on complexity of the site (formerly based on disturbed acres + storm drainage + stormwater + storm drainage + dedicated streets + private streets + other paved areas + walkways + sanitary sewer systems. This was next to impossible to tie to a cost recovery ratio and to get a good sense of what is actually performed at a site inspection stop Based on review for minor site plan types from FY2016 – FY 2019 (136 plans) Average Disturbed Acreage: 2 MSP Average # of Inspections Performed per stop: 2; Average # of Inspection Stops: 35; Total Cost: $3,728 RGP Average # of Inspections Performed per stop: 3; Average # of Inspection Stops: 35; Total Cost: $4,970 Moving from per acre per month to a flat rate covering the intensity of inspections. Will go up for these plan types. Fee structure is now based on complexity of the site (formerly based on disturbed acres + storm drainage + stormwater + storm drainage + dedicated streets + private streets + other paved areas + walkways + sanitary sewer systems. This was next to impossible to tie to a cost recovery ratio and to get a good sense of what is actually performed at a site inspection stop The new fee structure ties all of this complexity into a percentage of the overall bonded amount. Removing inspection fees for Storm Drainage Stormwater Management Ponds Dedicated Streets Private Streets Other Paved Areas Sanitary Sewer Systems INF Plan reviews will increase by $926 ($710 for UFMD Reviews + 2 MSR Reviews) RGP Plan reviews will increase by $806 ($590 for UFMD Reviews + 2 MSR Reviews) Major Site Plan reviews will increase by $1,068 ($568 for UFMD Reviews + 1 Gateway Review) Minor Site Plan reviews will increase by $1,068 ($568 for UFMD Reviews + 1 Gateway Review) Subdivision Plan reviews will increase by $1,068 ($568 for UFMD Reviews + 1 Gateway Review) PI Only Plan reviews will increase by $1,068 ($568 for UFMD Reviews + 1 Gateway Review)
