City staff is recommending the approval of contracts with professional testing firms that will be administered by the City for providing onsite testing services. The initial contract period will be for one-year with two one-year renewal options with an annual fee not to exceed $200,000 for each agreement. Eleven different firms responded to a Request for Qualifications. Of those eleven, the following six firms were selected for interview: CMJ Engineering, Inc. EWI Testing & Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. Fugro Consultants LP Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation DBA Kleinfelder Professional Service Industries, Inc. Terracon Consultants, Inc. Based upon the interviews conducted and discussions with the development community regarding the magnitude of effort involved, staff is recommending that the City enter into contracts with all six firms interviewed. http://www.cfwnet.org/council_packet/Reports/mc_print.asp 2/9/2006 Page 2 of 2 Funding for the geotechnical and construction materials testing services will come from fees collected at the time of execution of the Community Facilities Agreement(s). These fees are paid by the individual developers who initiate the construction projects. The City will not expend funds until construction begins. All six of the firms are in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 20% M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 20%. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the various capital project funds.
