<br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />In accordance with project construction documents for the Pleasanton Veteran's Memorial <br />Building Renovation, continuous inspection of masonry construction, necessary welding, grout <br />and concrete testing, and soils testing must be done whenever this type of work is being <br />performed. The City generally enters into separate consultant contracts to provide engineering <br />shop drawing review and inspection services during the construction of certain projects, as the <br />City does not staff specialists in these areas. Staff is therefore recommending that an <br />engineering consultant be retained to assure conformance with the approved plans and <br />specifications for this project. <br /> <br />Consultant Selection Process <br /> <br />Staff solicited proposals from three (3) construction inspection firms that provide individuals <br />qualified in projects of this type. Proposals were received from BSK & Associates, ENGEO <br />Incorporated and Berioger Geotechnical Consultants. Staff determined that BSK & Associates <br />was best suited to provide the necessary inspection services. BSK & Associates is the same <br />firm that has provided similar inspection services for the newly constructed Fire Station #1. <br /> <br />Consultant Fee <br /> <br />A scope of work, which includes a fee estimate by task, was proposed by BSK & Associates. <br />Attached is a copy of the proposal that includes the scope of work. Compensation will be on a <br />time and materials basis, with a not-to-exceed amount of $27,925. It is in the City's best <br />interest to have BSK & Associates work directly for the City and coordinate their inspections <br />with those of the City's Construction Manager. <br /> <br />SR 06:230 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
