The City of Richmond is seeking qualified consultants to support the transition of its Residential Rental Inspection Program (RRIP) from outsourced contractor services to an in-house city-operated model. The selected consultant will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current program, including administrative functions, inspection processes, and enforcement mechanisms. The scope includes workforce analysis, staffing plans, job classifications, and salary benchmarking, along with evaluation of operational costs, technology needs, and regulatory requirements. The consultant will develop a phased transition plan with timelines, milestones, and risk mitigation strategies, as well as recommend organizational structures and standard operating procedures. Additionally, the consultant will propose a cost-recovery fee structure and provide a detailed budget for both transition and long-term operations. The final deliverables include a comprehensive report and presentations to City staff and leadership to guide implementation and improve program effectiveness.
