May 8, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Robert O. Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Testing Service Agreement with Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) for Water Works Improvements Projects PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider approving the testing services agreement for the 1997-1999 water works improvement projects . BACKGROUND The City of Elgin is scheduled to construct several water capital improvement projects over the next two years, such as the expansion of the Riverside Water Treatment Plant, Airlite lagoons replacement, and the lagoon expansion project on South McLean Boulevard. These projects require the use of various construction materials such as concrete, asphalt, gravel, sand, and soil . These materials must be tested on behalf of the City to ensure that they meet required specifications . On April 16, 1997 the Water Department sent out requests for proposals to seven testing firms . Proposals were received on April 30, 1997 from six firms : - Testing Service Corporation (TSC) - Soil and Material Consultants (SMC) - Profession Service Industries (PSI) Construction Testing Services (CTS) - SEECO Consultants (SEECO) emb. Great. Lakes Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (GLSEC) Testing Services Agreement May 8, 1997 Page 2 A staff selection committee evaluation of the six proposals was conducted, which resulted in PSI and TSC being the two top-rated firms . Staff then opened the fee schedule (Exhibit A) and compared the itemized payment schedule for various testing services. Based upon the selection committee evalua- tion and analysis of the itemized payment schedule, PSI was selected as the most qualified candidate. Although PSI 's cost to perform material testing was not the lowest for every item, the overall cost to the City will be lower because PSI submit- ted lower costs for the most frequently used tests (e.g. , concrete testing found on page nine) . Costs associated with concrete testing comprise approximately 90% of the total testing service cost. PSI performed satisfactorily the original geotechnical inves- tigations for subsurface exploration and foundation evaluation for the water treatment plant expansion in 1993 and is famil- iar with site soil conditions . A copy of the results of the selection process is attached as Exhibit A. A copy of the proposed ' agreement is attached as Exhibit B. rm. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. vit, FINANCIAL IMPACT The actual amount of the various testing procedures will be charged to the applicable construction project. Total amount of material testing services for various Water Department projects will not exceed $170,000. Project budgets requiring testing services currently include allowances for these services . LEGAL IMPACT 'A ,i None. ALTERNATIVES A. Reject the recommended provider. B. Enter into an agreement for the next two year's materials testing services . (Pk Testing Services Agreement May 8, 1997 Page 3 ex- RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the members of the City Council author- ize the attached testing services agreement with Professional Service Industries, Inc. , Elgin, Illinois .
