Explanation
The construction inspection section of the Transportation Division utilizes the services of a private sector engineering firm or testing laboratory to perform specialized tests and/or augment its in-house testing capabilities. Formal competitive proposals were solicited and received on February 17, 2006, from five consultants: Barr and Prevost Engineering; BBC&M Engineering; CTL Engineering, Incorporated; DLZ Ohio, Incorporated; and Resource International. An interdepartmental review committee reviewed all aspects of the proposals and recommended that negotiations commence with Resource International with the intent of establishing a one-year contract (with renewal options). This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a new contract for construction materials testing and inspection services for the Transportation Division with Resource International, Incorporated, in an amount of up to $350,00.00. Resource International, Incorporated's contract compliance number is 31-0669793 and expires July 29, 2008.

Fiscal Impact: The division budgeted $350,000.00 in its 2006 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 different contractors, with some variation due to the division's inspection volume and types of jobs requiring inspection. A one (1) year $300,000.00 contract with Resource International, Incorporated, for this purpose was authorized by Ordinance 0656-2003, passed by City Council April 28, 2003. This contract contained two (2) one-year renewal options that could be exercised by mutual consent. The contract was extended for the period April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005 and increased by $350,000.00 by Ordinance 0613-2004 passed by Council April 26, 2004. The contract was again extended for the period April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006 and increased by $125,000.0...
