TO PROVIDE SPECIAL TESTING AND INSPECTION SERVICES DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NATIONAL CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT, STATION 34 PROJECT PREPARED BY Stephen Kirkpatrick DEPARTMENT Public Works/Engineering 336-4383 EXPLANATION See attached explanation. 2 Environmental Review N/A Financial Statement Approved This contract is for a "not -to -exceed" amount of $64,000 and is budgeted in the project accounts 250-409-500-598-1588 and 302-409-500-598-1588. Finance Direc ar Account No. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Kleinfelder, Inc. to provide special testing and inspection ervysgs duriyJg the construction of the National City Fire Department, Station 34 Project. BOARD / COMMISSION RECO ENDATION N/A ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below ) 1. Resolution 2. Agreement Resolution No. 2004-35 A-200 (9r991 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. RESOLUTION NO. 2004 — 35 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH KLEINFELDER, INC.
