Smith Inspection and Testing Services, Globe Engineers, Inc., CHA Inc., Fugro Consultants LP, CMJ Engineering, Inc., and Professional Service Industries, Inc., for Geotechnical and Materials Testing Services for Developer Projects i�l.i 1. V1YLYlL1V H1!( jr: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute agreements in an amount up to $200,000.00 each with Terracon Consulting Engineers and Scientists, T. Smith Inspection and Testing Services, Globe Engineers, Inc., CHA Inc., Fugro Consultants LP, CMJ Engineering, Inc., and Professional Service Industries, Inc., for geotechnical and construction materials testing for various developer projects, for one year with two one—year renewal options. DISCUSSION: In order to help assure a minimum of premature street failures in newly developing areas of the City, staff in 2006 took several proactive steps including shifting the responsibility for geotechnical and construction materials testing from the developer to the City of Fort Worth. Beginning in 2006 the bulk of this testing has been provided through contracts with private geotechnical and materials testing firms. In May 2008 City staff received Statements of Qualification for professional services and is recommending the approval of contracts with the listed professional testing firms for providing onsite testing services. City staff will administer these contracts. The initial contract period will be for one—year• with two one—year renewal options with an annual fee in an amount up to $2009000.00 for each agreement. Eighteen different firms responded to the Request for Qualifications. Of those eighteen, the following seven firms were selected for this annual contract: Terracon Consulting Engineers and Scientists T. Smith Inspection and Testing Services Globe Engineers, Inc. CHA INC. Fugro Consultants LP CMJ Engineering, Inc. Professional Service Industries• Inc. Based upon the magnitude of effort involved, staff is recommending that the City enter into conh•acts with all seven firms selected by a staff committee that ranked the respondents on published criteria. Funding for the geotechnical and construction materials testing services will be provided through currently established fees collected at the time of execution of the Community Facilities Agreement(s). These fees are paid by the developers who initiate the construction projects. The City will not expend funds until construction begins. All seven of the firms are in compliance with the City’s M/WBE Ordinance by each committing five percent M/WBE participation. The City’s goal on this project is five percent. The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budgets as appropriated of the various Capital Improvement Program Funds, Fernando Costa (6122) William A.

Beginning in 2006 the bul of this testing has been provided through contracts with private geotechnical and materials testing firms. In May 2008 City staff received Statements of Qualification for professional services and is recommending the approval of contracts with the listed professional testing firms for providing onsite testing services. City staff will administer these contracts. The initial contract period will be for one-year with two one-year renewal options with an annual fee i an amount up to $200,000.00 for each agreement. Eighteen different firms responded to the Request for Qualifications. Of those eighteen, the following seven firms were selected for this annual contract: Terracon Consulting Engineers and Scientists T. Smith Inspection and Testing Services Globe Engineers, Inc. CHA INC. Fugro Consultants LP CMJ Engineering, Inc. Professional Service Industries, Inc. Based upon the magnitude of effort involved, staff is recommending that the City enter into contracts with all seven firms selected by a staff committee that ranked the respondents on published criteria. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council�acket/mc_review.asp?ID=10990&councildate=3/10/2009 5/22/2009 I�&C Review Page 2 of 2 Funding for the geotechnical and construction materials testing services will be provided through currently established fees collected at the time of execution of the Community Facilities Agreement (s).
