MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 17, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager�i��
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Construction Materials Testing for the
2016 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
River Valley Testing (RVT) ($69,885)
The Department of Public Works requested proposals from several consulting firms to provide
construction materials testing services for the 2016 CIP.
After a careful and thorough review of all aspects of the proposals, RVT was chosen to perform
these services. The decision to select RVT 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 2016. The cost of these services
is estimated not to exceed $69,885, 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 here by submitting this report
regarding this engineering services agreement.
