RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Construction Materials Testing for the 2014
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) /
Midwest Engineering Services, Inc. (MES) ($59,600)
The Department of Public Works requested proposals from several consulting firms to provide
construction materials testing services for the 2014 CIP.
After a careful and thorough review of all aspects of the proposals, MES was chosen to perform
these services. The decision to select MES was based on several factors including the overall
quality of work performed in the past, engineering experience, and cost. The work associated
with this agreement is anticipated to be complete by the fall of 2014. The cost of these services
is estimated not to exceed $59,600, and will be split among the Storm Water, Water Main,
Sanitary Sewer, and the Street Paving sections of the CIP. Funding is available in all four
accounts.
Chapter 12 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 Section 12 -16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this
report regarding this engineering services agreement.
