SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Five-Year Contracts for Geotechnical and Materials Testing Services for Various
Construction Projects with Alliance Geotechnical Group, Inc., Alpha Testing, Inc., D&S Engineering Labs,
LLC, ECS Southwest, LLP, East Texas Testing Laboratory, Inc., Fugro USA Land, Inc., Kleinfelder, Inc.,
Landtec Engineers, LLC, Mas-Tek Engineering &Associates, Inc., PaveTex Engineering, LLC d/b/a
PaveTex, Rone Engineering Services, LTD, and TSIT Engineering and Consulting, LLC, with a Fee up to
$3,000,000.00 per Firm (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute individual, five-year
contracts with Alliance Geotechnical Group, Inc., Alpha Testing, Inc., D&S Engineering Labs, LLC, ECS
Southwest, LLP, East Texas Testing Laboratory, Inc., Fugro USA Land, Inc., Kleinfelder, Inc., Landtec
Engineers, LLC, Mas-Tek Engineering &Associates, Inc., PaveTex Engineering, LLC d/b/a PaveTex,
Rone Engineering Services, LTD, and TSIT Engineering and Consulting, LLC, with a fee up to
$3,000,000.00 per firm.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation & Public Works Department solicited firms to provide geotechnical and materials
testing services for various City infrastructure projects.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was published for these services in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on
January 30, February 6, February 13, February 20, February 27, and March 5, 2020. The Transportation &
Public Works Department received written Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) on March 6, 2020 from 15
firms. Each firm's SOQ was evaluated based upon pre-established selection criteria such as qualification
of personnel, experience, and availability of testing equipment. An inter-departmental committee selected
the most qualified and recommends the following firms for contract approval: Alliance Geotechnical Group,
Inc., Alpha Testing, Inc., D&S Engineering Labs, LLC, ECS Southwest, LLP, East Texas Testing
Laboratory, Inc., Fugro USA Land, Inc., Kleinfelder, Inc., LandTec Engineers, LLC, Mas-Tek Engineering
&Associates, Inc., PaveTex Engineering, LLC d/b/a PaveTex, Rone Engineering Services, LTD, and TSIT
Engineering and Consulting, LLC .
Based on current workloads, the Transportation and Public Works Department projects
approximately$515,000,000.00 of infrastructure construction for City projects that will require quality
control material testing over the next five years. We anticipate that approximately $30,000,000.00 will be
expended for contracted geotechnical and material testing services over the same period. These
agreements will not guarantee any specific amount of work or payment to any contractor. As material
testing 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 geotechnical and materials testing services for City
projects will be provided through various project funding sources.
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 source where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are
negligible. Additionally, Alliance Geotechnical Group, Inc., Mas-Tek Engineering &Associates, Inc. and
TSIT Engineering &Consulting, LLC are certified M/WBE firms.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budgets, as previously
appropriated, in the Transportation & Public Works Capital Funds to support approval of the above
recommendation and award of the contracts. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Transportation &
Public Works Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
