Home My WebLink AboutPublic Works and Redevelopment Agency - Soil Testing ServicesCITY OF PALM DESERT/REVELOPMENT AGENCY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT REQUEST: Approval for Soil Testing Services SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., City Engineer DATE: July 8, 2004 CONTENTS: Rate Schedules Recommendation: By Minute Motion, staff requests that the City Council/Agency Board permit Public Works Department/Redevelopment Agency to use listed soils testing firms for various projects. Discussion: Soils' testing is an essential part of road construction or asphalt overlay. When these services are necessary, phone quotations are generally solicited. In an effort to eliminate the repetition of this procedure, the Public Works Department prepared a generic list of typical services and sent them to five local soil testing firms. Staff intends to update this proposal annually. Public works would like to use the service of all five firms on various_ projects. These firms responded with prices that were comparable to one another, and based upon the professional services rendered by these firms in the past, they are also of similar quality and expertise. Only local firms were solicited due to the charge for traveling time and mileage by soils testing firms. In addition to this, response time is often essential to the testing requested. Firms will be selected upon availability and expertise (i.e. field personal available for work), within any give project perimeter. It is our intention to rotate through the approved list to present opportunity to each responding firm. Funds are available for these services in the respective project accounts. Staff Report Approval for Soil Testing Services Page 2 of 2 July 8, 2004 Therefore, by minute motion, approve the use of Earth Systems Southwest, WEC Corporation, Sladden Engineering, Inc., MacTech, Inc., and Landmark Geo Engineers for Public Wprks geotechnical services and material testing.
