DISCUSSION: Since 1982, the City has periodically negotiated contracts with firms to perform geotechnical, construction material and environmental testing services for various City projects. These requirements contracts provide the City with additional capacity as needed and allows for rapid response to departmental needs with already established unit prices. Funding is provided from each individual project. The City's previous contract with MACTEC Engineering will expire on September 26, 2007. Staff recently solicited unpriced proposals from sixteen firms. A total of 16 proposals were received. Each firm's proposal was evaluated based upon pre-established selection criteria, which included, but was not limited to, qualification of personnel, experience and performance on previous City contracts, and availability of testing equipment. An inter-departmental committee selected Trinity Engineering Testing Corp. d/b/a Kleinfelder, Professional Service Industries, Inc., Mas-Tek Engineering & Associates, Inc. and Globe Engineering, Inc., to provide geotechnical, construction material, and environmental testing services for various construction projects. All City departments requiring geotechnical and/or construction materials testing services will be able to utilize the services of the recommended firms. Each contract will terminate 36 months after execution or upon expenditure of $225,000, whichever occurs first. A sub-consultant and M/WBE goal was not established for these contracts because subcontracting opportunities are negligible.
