RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute individual, five-year
contracts with Foster CM Group, Inc., Freese and Nichols, Inc., Halff Associates, Inc., Lamb-Star
Engineering, L.P., Lina T. Ramey and Associates, Inc., Multatech Engineering, Inc., Pape-Dawson
Engineers, Inc., CMT Engineering, Inc. d/b/a PaveTex, Raba Kistner, Inc., Teague Nall & Perkins,
Inc., TranSystems Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants and VRX, Inc., with a fee
not to exceed $5,000,000.00 per firm.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation and Public Works Department solicited firms to provide civil public
works construction inspectors to inspect various City projects as a supplement to Staff in order to
accommodate peak periods of construction.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ)was published for these services in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
in October 2019. On November 1, 2019, the Department received Statements of Qualifications (SOQ)
for professional services from 12 firms for providing construction inspection services. Each firm's
SOQ was evaluated based upon pre-established selection criteria including qualification of personnel,
experience, performance on previous City contracts and availability. An inter-departmental committee
deemed all firms qualified and recommends the following firms for contract approval: Foster CM
Group, Inc., Freese and Nichols, Inc., Halff Associates, Inc., Lamb-Star Engineering, L.P., Lina T.
Ramey and Associates, Inc., Multatech Engineering, Inc., Pape-Dawson Engineers, Inc., CMT
Engineering, Inc. d/b/a PaveTex, Teague Nall & Perkins, Inc., Raba Kistner, Inc., TranSystems
Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants and VRX, Inc.
Based on current workloads, the Transportation and Public Works Department projects that
approximately 1.5 billion dollars of infrastructure construction will be inspected over the next five
years which includes developer-led projects. Based on current staffing levels, we anticipate that
approximately 30 million dollars will be expended for contracted inspection services over the same
period. These agreements will not guarantee any specific amount of work or payment to any
contractor. As inspection work is needed for a project, a work order will be issued along with funding
for specific work being identified and committed at that time. Funding for the construction inspection
services projects may be provided through various capital project funding sources, including City
Bond Programs.
The Office of Business Diversity: A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was
requested by the Department and approved by the OBD, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance,
because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible. Additionally, Lamb-Star Engineering, L.P., Lina T. Ramey &Associates,
Inc., Multatech Engineering, Inc., d/b/a Multatech and VRX, Inc. are certified M/WBE firms.
