Approve Materials Testing Quote for East Water Treatment Plant
Project No. 04-08
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve quote with Braun Intertec for materials testing for the East Water
Treatment Plant in the amount of $34,199.00.
BACKGROUND
On August 8, 2005, the City Council awarded a contract for the East Water
Treatment Plant. In order to ensure proper placement of materials, a testing
agency will need to be hired. This work has typically been separate from the
contractor services.
The scope of the testing includes:
. Soils compaction and soils gradation testing.
. Concrete testing for structural and non-structural components.
. Masonry testing.
. Pavement density testing.
. Structural steel observations (Welling & Framing).
Staff received two quotes for materials testing as follows:
Braun Intertec
American Engineering & Testing, Inc.
$34,199.00
$48,501.00
The contract is drafted to have payments made as work is preformed and a not-to-
exceed amount. Staff will review the invoices as they are submitted to ensure
they match the work preformed. Braun Intertec has worked on several City
projects and their work has been acceptable.
