Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to authorize a Professional Services Agreement with CTI and Associates, Inc. (CTI) for construction materials testing services in the amount of $85,721.00 for the 2011 Street Resurfacing Project.
This project consists of the resurfacing of approximately 6 major streets, 6 local streets, and one intersection throughout the City. The construction is scheduled for May through October 2011.
We received proposals from ten firms for the required construction materials testing services. Project Management staff evaluated the proposals and selected CTI based on the proposal, staff qualifications, past involvement with similar projects, and cost. CTI received Human Rights and Living Wage approval on February 12, 2011.
Services to be performed include all the required testing for soils, aggregates, asphalt, and concrete. This also includes performing soil borings to aid the pavement design for each street. Funds for the requested services are available in the FY 2011 approved capital budget for the 2011 Street Resurfacing Project.
