Inspection Fund Advisory Board · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

Escambia County's Inspection Fund Advisory Board is reviewing a proposed methodology for funding IT services for the Building Inspections Department. This methodology outlines how fees collected will be used solely for enforcing the Florida Building Code, covering direct and indirect costs related to plan review, inspections, and permit processing. The plan includes a $35,000 annual contribution for IT services, which will be reported in the County's Building Permit and Inspection Utilization Report. This review stage means the project is under consideration, and the details of the IT service allocation are being finalized. The work would involve IT infrastructure, software, and support services necessary for permit processing, plan review, and code enforcement operations. Businesses that provide IT services, cybersecurity, network support, and disaster recovery solutions could find opportunities as this funding methodology is reviewed and potentially implemented. Engaging early allows providers to understand the county's needs and potentially influence the scope of services before formal procurement processes begin.
