Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution to approve a professional services agreement with Inspection Services Company, Inc. (ISC) for materials testing for the Washtenaw Avenue Water Main Replacement Project.
The FY 2009-2014 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) includes project UT-WS-06-14, the Washtenaw Avenue Water Main Replacement Project.

We will work with the affected businesses to minimize the disruptions while this work is being completed.
On January 14, 2009, we received proposals from 9 firms for material testing services to be performed on this year’s construction projects. Project Management staff evaluated the proposals received and selected ISC ba...
