This item establishes how the Escambia County Information Technology (IT) Department will charge the Building Inspections Department for shared IT services. The Building Inspections Department will contribute $35,000 annually for its share of IT infrastructure, technical support, and cybersecurity. This funding methodology is currently under review by the Inspection Fund Advisory Board. The project involves establishing a financial framework for IT services supporting building code enforcement. This includes plan review, inspections, re-inspections, and permit processing. This early stage means potential opportunities for IT service providers, cybersecurity firms, and general administrative support services to engage with the county as the funding methodology is finalized. Early engagement could provide insight into future IT needs and procurement processes.
