Item No: 07H <br />Meeting Date: April 25, 2016 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />City Administrator Review: _____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Brian Erickson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City <br />Engineer <br /> Brandon Stenglein, Project Coordinator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8557, Approving an Engineering Services <br />Agreement with Braun Intertec for Construction Materials <br />Testing and Special Inspection Services Related to Street <br />& Utility Improvement Program - Area I <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />The City Council is asked to approve an engineering services agreement with Braun Intertec for <br />construction materials testing and special inspection services related to SUIP Area I <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />The construction contract for Area I (Project # 2016-C01) was awarded at the March 28, 2016 <br />Council meeting. However, one additional and necessary element to insure the success of this <br />project is the material testing services required during construction. As a result fee proposals <br />were solicited from two firms for these services. Braun Intertec’s proposal was the lowest priced <br />at $41,553 for the soil, concrete and bituminous testing. These services are customary for street <br />and utility construction. Public Works recommends adding a 10% or $4,150 contingency to the <br />total fee proposal in the event additional quality assurance testing is required. It should be noted <br />that this proposal is based on estimated hours and reimbursable expenses, and as a result the <br />final cost could be higher or lower than this estimate. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the approval of an <br />engineering services agreement with Braun Intertec for construction materials testing and special <br />inspection services for the Street & Utility Improvement Program – Area I project (2016-C01). <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_______________________ <br />Brian L.
