BACKGROUND
On March 27, 2015, Public Works issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for on-call geotechnical investigative services and quality assurance program services. Staff recommends awarding contracts to three consultants: AECOM, Construction Testing Services, and Ninyo & Moore to provide on-call work during FY15-16 that includes in-house or sub-consultant capabilities in geotechnical engineering, investigational testing, and construction inspection and material testing.
DISCUSSION
To solicit the maximum number of proposals and most competitive price, the RFP was provided to 23 separate builders' exchanges throughout the Bay Area. Notices were also sent to consultants on the Public Works Department Consultant List. In addition, notices were placed on the City's web page and published in the Alameda Journal. The RFPs were opened on April 20, 2015 after advertising for a period of 21 days. Ten consultants submitted proposals. The results are as follows:
