HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 23 - Construction Materials Engineering Services MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS AND ENGINEERING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider a contract for construction materials and engineering services with
Terracon Consultants, Inc.
FUNDING SOURCE:
This agreement is for the acquisition of construction materials and engineering services
for approved projects. Funding is to come from departmental operation budgets,
Permanent Capital Maintenance Funds (PCMF), Stormwater Drainage Utility System
(SDUS) funds and bond issuance funds in an amount not to exceed $250,000.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this contract is to establish third party support for construction materials
and engineering services required by the City for capital projects on an as-needed basis.
These services will include geotechnical testing, materials testing, asbestos survey and
testing, environmental testing, and inspection services.
Staff intends to use this contract in support of specific currently authorized capital facility,
roadway, parks, storm drain, and utility projects. This contract will also be used for small-
scale projects where testing is required.
Staff has historically executed material testing and environmental contracts on a project
by project basis. The proposed action will not modify the work needed but will consolidate
this work into one central contract.
Staff is recommending Terracon based on the firm's full suite of services and previous
experience on City projects.
Staff recommends approval.
