RE: Award of Geotechnical Engineering Services Agreement—
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation for the 2012
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) / Midwest Engineering Services, Inc. (MES)
The Department of Public Works requested proposals from geotechnical engineering consulting
firms for subsurface exploration, soil classifications, geotechnical engineering, and construction
recommendations for the 2012 CIP. Soil borings will be completed within the right-of-way on all
streets identified in the program.
After a careful and thorough review of all aspects of the proposals, MES was chosen to perform
the services. The work associated with this agreement is anticipated to be complete by the
spring of 2012. The cost of these services is estimated not to exceed $63,981.70, and will be
split among the Storm Water, Water, and Sanitary Sewer Utilities and the Street Paving CIP.
Funding is available in all four accounts.
Section 12-10(D)(5) of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a specialized
nature, including engineering services, may be approved by the City Manager without the use of
formal, sealed quotes. In accordance with 12-10(E) of the Code, I am hereby submitting this
report regarding this contract award.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this contract award.
