Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Kellen Gamradt, Engineer II Rick Hixson, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement for the 2018 Materials Testing Three Year Term Contract
MEETING DATE: April 16th, 2018
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services
Agreement with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. to provide materials testing for the City.
BACKGROUND: In 2014 the City began retaining a consultant to provide construction materials testing on all our construction projects. Our current contract with DOWL is about to
expire, and therefore, an advertisement for request for proposals was placed in the Bozeman
Daily Chronicle on January 21st, January 28th, and February 4th, 2018. Proposals were received
from four firms which were distributed to a selection committee of three city employees. Morrison-Maierle was chosen as the most qualified firm based on the written proposals.
Attached is a copy of the partially executed professional services agreement with Morrison-
Maierle, Inc. for the 2018 materials testing three year term contract in the City’s standard format.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: Disapprove
FISCAL EFFECTS: As described in Attachment A to the Professional Services Agreement,
materials testing services will be billed by a combination of unit costs and hourly rates
depending on the test being performed with a cost not to exceed limit of $165,000. The testing
will be paid for with approved funding from each associated project which receives testing under this agreement. The total construction costs of the projects receiving testing is roughly $18 million.
