The Engineering Department contracts for material testing services each year for street, sidewalk, and maintenance projects. In 2014, requests for proposals were solicited from four consultants. Proposals were received on March 21, 2014 from three consultants and the 2014/15 one-year contract was awarded to CGMT, Inc., with the option of requesting an extension for two one-year renewals.
Upon satisfactory completion of the 2014/2015 and 2015b fiscal year contract for Material Testing Services, the Village has the option of requesting an extension for one more year, and CGMT, Inc. has agreed to extend the current pricing for the 2016 Material Testing Services. The funding for this work is included in the budget for the 2016 Resurfacing Program (401-5001-571-50-30 ST9008). This would be the final year for this contract extension, and proposals would be solicited for Calendar Year 2017 Material Testing Services.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Village Board authorize the execution of a contract extension with CGMT, Inc. in the amount not-to-exceed $100,000 for material testing services. This firm has successfully completed the material testing services for the Village in the past, as well as for several other local municipalities.
