City of Garden Grove
INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | William E. Murray
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Public Works
| | Subject: | Award contracts to Willdan and Wallace & Associates, Inc., to provide on-call construction inspection services. (Cost: $500,000 per contract) (Action Item) | Date: | 2/25/2020 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To request City Council award a contract to Willdan and to Wallace & Associates, Inc., to provide on-call professional construction inspection services. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department, Engineering Services, relies on professional construction inspections to ensure compliance, quality control and quality assurance on capital improvement projects. The demand for construction inspections for the approved capital improvement projects completed in 2019 have depleted funding within the existing on-call construction inspection services contract. Due to the pending upcoming projects, Engineering Services staff has determined that based on the workload, there is necessity for two separate but equally qualified contractors to provide construction inspection services. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Staff solicited four (4) requests for proposals to construction management firms for on-call construction inspection services, and received responses from each. Each proposal was carefully evaluated and reviewed by Engineering staff, and it was determined that Willdan and Wallace & Associates, Inc., are best suited and capable in meeting the demands necessary to provide professional on-call construction inspection services for the City's capital improvement projects.
