BACKGROUND <br />In accordance with project construction documents for the Alviso Adobe Community <br />Park, continuous inspection of masonry construction, necessary welding, grout and <br />concrete testing and soils testing must be done whenever this type of work is being <br />performed. The City commonly enters into separate consultant contracts to provide <br />engineering shop drawing review and inspection services during the construction of <br />certain projects, as the City does not staff specialists in these areas. It is recommended <br />that an engineering consultant be retained to assist staff in assuring conformance with <br />the approved plans and specifications for this work. <br />Consulting Firm Selection Process <br />Staff solicited proposals from three (3) construction inspection firms .that provide <br />individuals qualified in projects of this type. Proposals were received from BSK and <br />Associates,- ENGEO Incorporated and Kleinfelder Incorporated. Staff determined that <br />BSK and Associates was best qualified to provide the required specialty inspection <br />services. BSK and Associates is the same firm that has provided similar inspection <br />services for the newly renovated Veteran's Memorial Building. <br />Consultant Fee <br />A scope of work, which includes a fee estimate by task, was proposed by BSK & <br />Associates. Attached is a copy of the Proposal that includes the Scope of Work. <br />Compensation will be on a time and materials basis, with anot-to-exceed amount of <br />$47,624. It is in the City's best interest to have BSK & Associates work directly for the <br />City and coordinate their inspections with those of the City's Construction Manager. <br />Submitted by: <br />Fiscal Review: <br />Approv by: <br />Nelson Fialho <br />City Manager <br />,_ <br />r <br />Rob Wilson ~~ David P.
