CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Item # Department: Requested Council Meeting Date: <br />September 28, 2022 <br />Engineering <br />VIII.8 <br />TITLE OF ISSUE: <br />Materials Testing Contract <br />BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: <br />Various materials, such as bituminous and concrete, associated with the 2022 Thin Overlay Program and City <br />Hall Improvements Project, should be tested for compliance with the project specifications. The city's <br />engineering consultant solicited quotes from 3 firms for this work. Two submitted proposals, timely. Both <br />have costs within 10% of each other. Based on the industry reputation and extensive experience of Braun <br />Intertec, staff is recommending them for this work, despite their slightly higher price. Additionally, their price <br />for bituminous testing is lower, so if there are more tests required on that item, their overall price may be less, <br />in the end. The city attorney has reviewed the contract and has expressed concerns with the limitation of <br />liability clause. However, all 3 testing firms have nearly identical clauses. Given the nature of the work, staff <br />feels that our exposure here is limited and recommends moving forward. <br />COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: <br />$7,653 - Street Fund; These costs were anticipated and included in previous project discussions. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Motion to approve the contract for Material Testing with Braun Intertec, Inc. <br />For Clerk’s Use: <br />SUPPORTED DOCUMENTS ATTACHED <br />Motion By: ____________________________________ <br /> Resolution Ordinance Contract Minutes Plan Map <br />Second By: ____________________________________ <br />X <br />Vote Record: Aye Nay <br /> _____ <br />_____ <br />Summary of quotes <br />Other (specify) ____________ <br /> _____ _____ <br />_____ <br /> _____ <br />_______________________________________________________________ <br /> _____ _____Ki <br /> _____ ____________________________________________________________________ <br />Administration Department Use: <br />Refer to: _________________________________ <br />Consent <br /> Tabled Until: ______________________________ <br /> Regular <br /> Other: ___________________________________ <br /> <br />
