Submittal Deadline: Monday Friday, February 6 10, 4:00 PM

This Request for Information (RFI) seeks ideas to help Seattle Department of Construction Inspections (SDCI) sort through options and implement a system that would provide a better mobile inspection experience for the staff and communities that are benefitting from SDCI’s code compliance and permitting services. We wish to implement a mobile app that allows our staff to perform their work entirely from their mobile device, so they do not need to return to the downtown office to do data entry from Accela’s back-office product.

SDCI’s construction focus involves issuing permits and performing inspections for all activities related to remodeling and new building projects. SDCI’s code compliance focus involves performing inspections and investigations for all housing, land use, and permitting complaints. The goal of SDCI is to obtain a tool that provides more transparency, collaboration, and autonomy to these complex services.
