The Revere City RHS Building Committee has officially selected Briggs as the third-party construction material testing agent for the ongoing project, following a thorough evaluation process. The decision, made during the meeting on September 17, 2025, highlights Briggs' top ranking based on qualifications and competitive pricing, making them a standout choice among bidders.

Committee members emphasized the importance of having a reliable third-party agent that operates independently from the design team and contractors. This ensures unbiased testing of materials such as concrete and steel, which is crucial for maintaining project integrity. Briggs scored the highest in evaluations, showcasing their strong background and ability to deliver timely results, including a commitment to same-day turnaround without penalties.

The budget for testing services is set at $400,000, with an initial purchase order of $300,000 to cover the first phase of testing over the next ten months. This approach allows the committee to monitor expenses closely and adjust as necessary based on project needs.

The committee is optimistic about this partnership, noting that Briggs not only excelled in qualifications but also offered competitive pricing, making it a win-win situation for the city. The approval of Briggs marks a significant step forward in ensuring the project's success and adherence to quality standards.
