  • Geotechnical Eng Services Award to Soil & Materials Engineers And
    CITY of NOVI CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item 8 June 16, 2014 SUBJECT: Approval to award Agreements for Geotechnical Engineering Services for Public Projects to Soil & Materials Engineers and Testing and Engineering Consultants for a period of three years with the option of two one-year extensions, as recommended by the Consultant Review Committee, with an effective date of June 16, 2014. SUBMITTING DEPARTMENT: Departmen~lfPublic Services, Engineering Division 'f.,'fC... CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: ~ BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since 2009, the City has contracted for civil engineering consulting services for public infrastructure projects using three pre-qualified engineering consultants. In a similar manner, staff is proposing the use of pre-qualified geotechnical consultants. The City current seeks proposals for geotechnical engineering each time it is required for a project, and entails field and laboratory testing of most materials typically used in civil construction. The geotechnical engineering consultants work closely with staff and the civil engineering consultant to provide technical expertise in both the planning phase and construction phase for public infrastructure projects. The use of pre-qualified consultants for engineering consulting has streamlined the engineering award process and provides a steady, consistent amount of work so that each firm can routinely provide qualified staff dedicated to Novi. The goals of the geotechnical pre-qualification would be the same. The Engineering Division completed the process to recommend two pre-qualified geotechnical consultants to be utilized for the planning and construction phases of public infrastructure projects. The attached Request for Qualifications was advertised publicly on January 17, 2014 to solicit two pre-qualified geotechnical engineering consultants.
