Resolution No. 2004-35

Explanation:
Special inspection and testing services are necessary throughout the construction of the
National City Fire Department, Station 34 Project. The special inspection and testing
required in some cases, such as lead and asbestos abatement, structural masonry
testing and inspections, field welding high strength bolting inspection, etc, is defined by
the California Building Code. Other special testing and inspection requirements, such
as soil testing during earthwork for structures, roofing inspection, etc., have been put
together by the project team to ensure the building is constructed to the same quality
level that it has been designed to. There is an old construction adage, "You get what
you inspect, not necessarily what you expect"
The City through Resolution No. 2002-33 entered a three-year agreement with
Kleinfelder to perform "as -needed" special inspection and testing services on its
construction projects. Kleinfelder was chosen to provide these services as a result of a
"Request for Qualifications" process that is necessary for the City to hire professional
services. The work type contemplated in the existing agreement with Kleinfelder, Inc. is
based on heavy construction (roads, storm and sanitary sewer work, etc.) special
inspection needs not building construction special inspection needs, although there is
some overlap. However Kleinfelder is also fully qualified and able to perform all special
inspection and testing needs associated with building construction projects. Since the
type of work necessary for the building construction is not in the existing agreement it is
appropriate to enter a separate agreement instead of amending the existing agreement
for this work.
The work and fees described in the agreement are the result of negotiations with
Kleinfelder, Inc. The work performed will greatly benefit the National City Fire
Department, Station 34 Project and will be performed at a fair and reasonable cost. It
is therefore recommended that the Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter this
agreement with Kleinfelder, Inc. be approved.
