City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 7/21/2009
DATE: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 REFERENCE NO.: C-23668
LOG NAME: 20CIPGEOTECH
SUBJECT:
Authorize Agreements in an Amount Not to Exceed $200,000.00 with Terracon Consultants, Inc., T. Smith
Inspection and Testing Services, Globe Engineers, Inc., Fugro Consultants, Inc., Professional Service
Industries, Inc., and HVJ Associates Inc., for Geotechnical and Construction Materials and Environmental
Testing Services for Various Construction Projects
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Terracon
Consultants, Inc., T. Smith Inspection and Testing Services, Globe Engineers, Inc., Fugro Consultants, Inc.,
Professional Service Industries, Inc. and HVJ Associates Inc., for geotechnical and construction materials
and environmental testing for various construction projects. The term of each agreement is one year with two
one-year renewal options. The annual not-to-exceed value of each contract is $200,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
Since 1982, the City has periodically negotiated contracts with firms to perform geotechnical, construction
materials and environmental testing services for various City projects. These "requirement contracts"
provide the City with additional capacity as needed and allow for rapid response to departmental needs with
pre-established unit prices.
In April 2009 City staff solicited and received Statements of Qualifications for professional services and is
recommending the approval of contracts with the listed professional testing firms for providing onsite testing
services. Eleven different firms responded to a Request for Qualifications. Of those eleven, the following six
firms were selected for this annual contract.
Terracon Consultants, Inc.
T. Smith Inspection and Testing Services
Globe Engineers, Inc.
Fugro Consultants, Inc.
Professional Service Industries, Inc.
HVJ Associates Inc.
The M/WBE office provided a waiver of the goal for this project because the purchase of goods and
services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
Staff is recommending that the City enter into contracts with all six firms selected by a staff committee that
ranked the respondents on published criteria.
Funding for the geotechnical and construction materials and environmental testing services is currently
