RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the
attached agreement with United Inspection & Testing, Inc. in the amount
not to exceed $436,338, subject to non-substantive changes approved by
the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
Early next year, the City will start construction for the $100 million
project to rebuild neighborhood streets throughout the City. To ensure
high quality of the work, a variety of tests and inspections will be
performed for the workmanship and construction materials used on the job,
including Portland cement concrete, asphalt concrete and the soils under
the new pavement.
In the past, those tests and inspections were provided by the County's
materials laboratory, but the County recently notified City staff that
due to their busy capital improvement program, they may not be able to
provide those services when needed. As a result, it is recommended that
the City hire a private testing firm to perform these tasks. Timely
inspections are essential for continuous work progress.
Additionally, during the next two years there will be several building
and bridge renovation projects that involve placement of reinforced
concrete and structural steel. Since city inspectors do not have the
special certificates required to provide inspections on those types of
work, they have to be performed by qualified personnel from a private
testing firm.

inspection and testing firms and five firms responded. A committee
consisted of four staff members of the Public Works Agency evaluated the
proposals. Each firm was rated according to its qualifications, past
experience and capacity to perform the required work. Based on the
proposals submitted, the scores and fees for the top three firms are as
