Explanation
The construction inspection section of the Transportation Division utilizes the services of a private sector engineering firm/testing laboratory to perform specialized tests and/or augment its in-house testing capabilities. A one (1) year contract with Resource International, Incorporated, for this purpose was authorized by Ordinance 0656-2003, passed by City Council on April 28, 2003. This contract contains renewal options that can be exercised by the City with the consent of the vendor. The vendor has agreed to this extension with no change in existing terms and conditions.

This ordinance extends and increases the existing contract for construction materials testing and inspection services for an additional year in an amount up to $350,000.00. Resource International, Inc.'s contract compliance number is 31-0669793 and expires November 15, 2004.

The division budgeted $350,000.00 in its 2004 Development Services Fund budget for this construction materials testing and inspection services contract. The Division has spent a similar amount annually for these services over the years with several different vendors, with some variation due to the division's inspection volume and types of jobs requiring inspection.

Emergency legislation is requested to allow the Transportation Division to procure services in an uninterrupted manner and to promote the use of satisfactory construction techniques and acceptable construction materials.
