Page 5 of 5 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/24/2012 DATE: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 REFERENCE NO.: "C -25410 LOG NAME: 202012 GEOTECH DEVELOPER PROJECTS SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of On -Call Contracts for Geotechnical and Construction Materials Testing, for Use with Developer- Initiated Construction Projects, with Alliance Geotechnical Group, Inc., Globe Engineers, Inc., Gorrondona & Associates, Inc., Mas -Tek Engineering & Associates, Inc., D &S Engineering Labs, PLLC, LANDTEC Engineers, L.L.C., Professional Service Industries, Inc., and Ellerbee Walczak, Inc., Each with a Fee Not to Exceed $300,000.00 Annually (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of on -call contracts with Alliance Geotechnical Group, Inc., Globe Engineers, Inc., Gorrondona & Associates, Inc., Mas -Tek Engineering & Associates, Inc., D &S Engineering Labs, PLLC, LANDTEC Engineers, L.L.C., Professional Service Industries, Inc., and Ellerbee Walczak, Inc., for Geotechnical and Construction Materials testing for various initiated construction projects. The term of each Agreement is one -year with two one -year renewal options. The annual amount of each contract is not to exceed $300,000.00. DISCUSSION: On August 18, 2011, the Department of Transportation and Public Works solicited Statements of Qualifications for professional services and received responses from 15 firms for providing onsite materials testing services. Each proposal was evaluated based upon pre - established selection criteria which included qualification of personnel, experience, performance on previous City contracts, and the availability of testing equipment. An inter - departmental committee performed the evaluations and recommended the indicated firms. Funding for the geotechnical and construction materials testing services will be provided through currently established fees collected at the time of execution of each respective Community Facilities Agreement. These fees are paid by the developers who initiate the construction projects. The M/WBE office has waived the goal for this project because the purchase of goods and services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. However three of the firms, Globe Engineers, Inc., Gorrondona & Associates, Inc., and Mas -Tek Engineering & Associates Inc., are certified D /M/WBEs. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funding for the geotechnical and construction materials testing services will be provided through currently established fees paid by the developers who initiate the construction project and collected at the time of execution of the Community Facilities Agreement(s).
