Memorandum
Attached for your review and consideration, please find a resolution to approve an Agreement for Professional Services with Materials Testing Consultants, Inc. (MTC) for construction materials testing services in the amount of $75,752.00 for the improvements to Miller Avenue between Maple Road and Newport Road.
Project work involves the complete reconstruction of the roadway to include improved bicycle lanes, pedestrian crossings with raised islands, and intermittent left turn lanes to facilitate improved traffic flow; installation of new sidewalks, sidewalk ramps and concrete bus stop pads to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards; storm water improvements that include new storm sewers with detention, bio-swales, and rain gardens; and utility work that involves replacing a distribution water main within the project limits and a portion of sanitary sewer.
Construction is anticipated to begin in mid/late April 2013 and be complete by early November 2013.
We received proposals from eight firms for the required construction materials testing services. Project Management staff evaluated the proposals and selected MTC based on the proposal, staff qualifications, past involvement with similar projects, and cost.
MTC received Human Rights and Living Wage approval on February 8, 2013 (pending).
Services to be performed include all the required testing for soils, aggregates, asphalt, and concrete. Funds for the requested services are available in the project budget for the improvements to Miller Avenue between Maple Road and Newport Road.
