Title:
Consider award of contract for geotechnical services and material testing.
Background:
The current 2 year geotechnical and material testing contract with Northern Technologies, Inc. (NTI) expired on December 31, 2010. Staff met with representatives of NTI to discuss the possibility of extending the existing contract for another year. NTI stated that they would be willing to extend the existing contract for another 2 years, without any revisions to terms. This means that the City will be able to take advantage of 2009 pricing, and continue to utilize a local company through 2012.
This item was discussed in work session on January 18, 2011, under staff input, and it was the consensus of the Council to extend the existing contract with NTI for another 2 years. Staff stated that they would be bringing this matter forward as a consent item on the next available regular Council meeting for final ratification. Attached is the proposed contract, which is being reviewed by the City attorney for legal matters.
Observations:
NTI has been representing the City on all public infrastructure projects, whether they are publicly or privately initiated, since 2009. They have performed very well for the duration of the contract, and have been able to accommodate all project schedules with timely accurate information.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of a 2 year contract extension with NTI for geotechnical services and material testing, subject to City attorney review of legal matters.
Council Action:
Motion to approve a 2 year contract extension with NTI for geotechnical services and material testing, through 2012, subject to review by the City attorney for legal matters.
