Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, requires a portable nuclear moisture density gauge to test soils and asphalt pavement. The Department's pavement policy requires in-place pavement density and depth verification by the division subsequent to pavement installation by contractors before the work can be accepted by the City. The division presently has five of these units. This purchase will replace a unit that beyond its useful life and is cost prohibitive to repair. Bids for this item were solicited via requisition number RP018103 and it was determined that the quotation for $5,215.00 for a new unit submitted by Cline's Technical Services, Incorporated, is acceptable. Cline's Technical Services' contract compliance number is 311503542 and expires August 31, 2008.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for the purchase of this unit are available within the General Roadway Street Improvement project in the General Permanent Improvement Fund. This ordinance appropriates funding within this Fund and authorizes the expenditure.
Emergency action is requested to procure the needed equipment as soon as possible.
