The Town of Kennebunkport is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors for a comprehensive Code Building Permit and Plan Review Software solution. The goal of this project is to modernize and streamline the building permit and plan review process, enhance efficiency, and improve customer service for both applicants and staff.

The successful vendor will provide a software solution that supports permitting, plan reviews, inspection scheduling, code enforcement, fee management, and reporting, among other features, to ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations.

The Town is seeking to implement a user-friendly, integrated software platform to replace its current system, which is heavily paper reliant. Some modernizations have taken place to include the ability to schedule inspections online however the Town desires for a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. The software should support:

• Plan Review & Tracking – A collaborative, digital process for reviewing building plans, site plan applications, and subdivision applications including supporting documentation for plans mentioned above with tracking features through the plan review process of new submissions and additional documentation.
• Inspection Scheduling & Tracking – Tools for scheduling and tracking inspections. Scheduling of inspections in a phased approach according to stage of project.
• Code Enforcement – Monitoring and ensuring compliance with applicable building codes, conditions placed by Planning Board as part of subdivision and site plan review.
• Fee Management – Automated fee calculation and invoicing. Ease of use for online payments and tracking payments made over the counter.
• Reporting & Analytics – Dashboards, data analytics, and reporting features/tools for performance tracking to help administration in decision making process for the future.
