City Council <br /> Meeting Minutes <br /> June 7, 2011 <br /> Page 4 of 10 <br /> APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES FOR <br /> STREET RESURFACING AND CONCRETE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS <br /> Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. <br /> Public Works Director Phare explained the Public Works Department is requesting <br /> authorization to enter into a contract with A.G. Wassenaar, Inc., for Geotechnical <br /> Services for the Street Resurfacing and Concrete Replacement Projects. Some of the <br /> geotechnical services to be provided by A.G. Wassenaar, Inc., include soil proctor, <br /> compaction of subgrade soils, concrete compression strength and various asphalt tests. <br /> Wasenaar's hourly rates and laboratory testing costs are reasonable and competitive <br /> with other firms contacted. It is difficult to estimate the costs of Geotechnical Services <br /> because the services are provided as needed and are dependent on the contractor's <br /> progression of work and site conditions. There is also a cost per test. The City may <br /> have some cost savings in material testing because of efficiency providing services for <br /> multiple projects. A.G. Wassenaar, Inc. is providing materials testing for the North End <br /> Subdivision. <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Council questioned whether the Highway 42 Project had testing at the request of CDOT. <br /> Public Works Director Phare stated there were tests conducted on the asphalt material <br /> for the Highway 42 Project. <br /> MOTION: Councilor Muckle moved to approve the Professional Agreement with A.G. <br /> Wassenaar, Inc., for Geotechnical Services for Street Resurfacing and Concrete <br /> Replacement Project, seconded by Councilor Clabots.
