7.A. AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING
Presenter:
John Webb
Description:
In response to our recent advertised request for proposals for Construction Materials Testing services at the MSPA, the following three firms responded and provided the required technical and cost proposals:
Southern Earth Sciences Long Beach, MS Eustis Engineering Gulfport, MS Bhate Geosciences D’Iberville, MS The services requested by the solicitation will be used to support the port in implementation of new and on-going construction projects. Required services will generally include the following, but each will be more specifically defined in the individual project specifications of each construction project: Supervision, set-up and monitoring of test pile programs Pile driving monitoring and recording Concrete and asphalt design mix review and approval Varied concrete and asphalt testing Soils testing (proctor, density, sieve analysis) Based on technical evaluations and cost reviews by the staff, it is proposed that a contract for construction materials testing be awarded to Southern Earth Sciences. Although the other two firms were technically well qualified to perform the requested services, Southern Earth Sciences demonstrated a significant advantage in proposed pricing. The proposed Agreement will be for a three year period. Funding is anticipated to be $100,000.00 for each year. Work will be billed in accordance with the submitted and approved unit price fee schedule. It is recommended that this new Agreement be approved as submitted. |
