AGENDA CAPTION:

Present, Discuss and Consider Action on a Resolution Approving an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services Between the Town of Addison and Kleinfelder, Inc. to Perform Materials Testing Services as Quality Assurance for the Materials Utilized in the Construction of the Midway Road Revitalization Project and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount Not to Exceed $225,289.00.

BACKGROUND:

Material testing services are required to assure the quality and consistency of the materials and workmanship utilized by the construction contractor to complete the Midway Road Revitalization Project. The Town issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) during the summer of 2017 for general engineering and design services. This RFQ resulted in a list of pre-qualified firms to perform engineering services within the Town. In addition to being on this pre-qualified list, Kleinfelder, Inc. was selected based on the quality of their work on previous projects with the Town, their extensive experience on similar projects and their ability to provide the required amount of seasoned testing technicians needed to keep up with the magnitude of materials that will be installed during construction of the Midway Road Revitalization Project.

The Scope of Work is detailed in Exhibit A, while a listing of fees for each type of testing can be found in Exhibit B of the agreement. Anticipated testing required during the construction of the Midway Road Revitalization Project includes soils identification; compaction and control testing; aggregate and concrete testing; asphalt testing; coring services; structural steel and drilled shaft inspections; and special services as requested by the Town.

The timeline for these services will be dependent on the Schedule of the Construction Contractor for the Midway Road Revitalization Project and is estimated to be performed over a thirty-six month period. The Midway Road Revitalization Project Budget includes $300,000 for these services.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
