FILE NUMBER
Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a third amendment to the
consultant agreement with United Inspection & Testing, Inc. for testing and inspection services,
increasing compensation by $100,000 for a total agreement amount not to exceed $536,338,
subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
In January 2008, the City Council approved an agreement with United Inspection & Testing, Inc.
for testing and inspection services on the City's capital improvement projects. To ensure high
quality of the work, a variety of tests and inspections are to be performed for the workmanship
and construction materials used on the job, including Portland cement concrete, asphalt
concrete, cement-treated base, subgrade soil, etc. In the past, part of those tests and inspections
were provided by the County's materials laboratory but the County staff is busy with their capital
improvement program and is oftentimes unavailable for our projects. United Inspection & Testing,
Inc. has been providing these services for the City's Residential Street Repair program and other
City projects for the last three years.
The agreement was amended previously to comply with the updated prevailing wages
requirement and funds in the contract will be exhausted soon. Sixteen projects are under
construction, which need quality control services on a regular basis. Since United Inspection &
Testing's prices are still competitive with other firms providing the similar services, and in order to
keep continuity of these services, staff recommends an amendment to the contract, adding
$100,000 to the not-to-exceed contract amount. United Inspections' services will be provided only
on as-needed basis when requested by the inspectors.
