RE: Resolution approving a Supplemental Agreement with Tetra Tech Engineering, Inc. to provide
the City with engineering inspection services in the "Not to Exceed" amount of $59,982 for the
National City Boulevard 7th Street to 12th Street Improvements, Specification No. 04-12, and
authorizing the City Engineer to execute the agreement.
On January 5, 2001 the City of National City issued a Request for Qualification seeking two Civil
Engineering Consultants to perform Civil Engineering Services for the various Capital Improvement
Projects. We received statements from eleven qualified firms of which Tetra Tech was selected as one of
the most qualified by experience and ability to perform the required services. On April 17, 2001 the City
Council issued Resolution No. 2001-15 authorizing the Mayor to execute a multiyear contract with this
company.
On March 15, 2005, by Resolution No. 2005-56, the City Council awarded a contract to Heffler
Company, Inc. for the National City Boulevard 7th Street to 12th Street Improvements. Staff has
considered that Tetra Tech Inc. can provide the inspection services for this project during construction.
Recently, Tetra Tech completed the inspection of the National City Street Resurfacing Program and the
Miscellaneous Concrete Improvements Project. Tetra Tech is familiar with the City's inspection
requirements. The engineering services will include daily general inspection activities. Based upon staff's
request, Tetra Tech has a proposed plan, outlined in Exhibit "A" of the supplemental agreement, to
perform the required services. This scope of work is consistent with the City's inspection needs.
The work can be accomplished through a Supplemental Agreement to the existing "As -needed" contract.
The final scope of work is attached as part of the Supplemental Agreement that is being presented to the
Council for approval. The fee for performing the work per the cost proposal is a "Not to Exceed" amount
of $ 59,982.
