SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing a revenue sharing agreement between the City of Aurora Fire Prevention Bureau and Inspection Reports Online (IROL).
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize a revenue sharing agreement between the City of Aurora Fire Prevention Bureau (AFPB) and Inspection Reports Online (IROL).
BACKGROUND:
The AFPB began using the web-based inspection reporting system IROL in 2015 to manage life safety inspections and testing. The program communicates, manages, and tracks all inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM) documents required for the department to maintain National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.
DISCUSSION:
IROL offers the ability for municipalities to participate in a revenue sharing program at no additional cost to the city. IROL currently has a base submission fee of $19.99 per report that is paid by the service provider. The attached agreement proposes a share of $5.00 per submitted report for the AFPB, which will increase the total submission fee to $27.99 per report, which includes all administrative fees.
AFPB will receive payment from IROL on a quarterly basis in the amount associated with total number of submissions per quarter at the $5.00 per submitted report.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The resolution, if approved will have a positive impact on the AFPB.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff respectfully requests approval of the attached resolution.
