Avenue Medians Phase I — 8th St. to 16th St. Improvements, Specification No. 05-05, and authorizing the

On September 9, 2004 the City of National City issued a Request for Qualification seeking three Civil
Engineering Consultants to perform Civil Engineering Services for the various Capital Improvement
Projects. We received statements from eight 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 5, 2005 the City
Council issued resolution No. 2005-64 authorizing the Mayor *to execute a multiyear contract with this
company.
On December 20, 2005, by resolution No. 2005-268, the City Council awarded a contract to Portillo
Concrete, Inc. for the Highland Avenue Medians Phase I — 8th St. to 16th St. Improvements, Specification
No. 05-05. 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 FY 03-04, Miscellaneous Concrete Improvements Project and the National City
Blvd. 7th to 12th St. Improvements. Tetra Tech is familiar with the City's inspection requirements. The
engineering services will include the daily general inspection activities. Based upon the staffs 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 $ 81,556.
