RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a consulting service agreement with ISI Inspection Services, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $150,000, for on-call materials testing and inspection services for the period of March 12, 2019 through September 30, 2021, Countywide. (Project No. Various) (All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road, Flood Control, and Airport Enterprise Funds

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County that require materials testing and inspection services for road, flood control, and airport projects. After a solicitation process, this firm was selected as one of five firms to provide materials testing and inspection services on an “on-call” basis. The quality assurance testing is in support of County inspectors and other County staff who are assigned to inspect encroachment permit work and construction projects. This work must be contracted out because the County does not have a materials and testing lab. This on-call Consulting Services Agreement will be in effect for thirty-seven months.

Government Code Section 31000 and 4525 authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of construction management that ISI Inspection Services, Inc. provides.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there is a possible delay in completing projects requiring materials testing and inspection services. Executing this Consulting Services Agreement will facilitate the process of design and construction for various Public Works projects requiring materials testing and inspection expertise.
