Committee recommends geotechnical cost proposal for North Ellsworth Road design; final action pending federal notice to proceed
Summary
City Engineer Scott Lang presented a geotechnical proposal from American Engineering Testing Inc. for soil borings on the North Ellsworth Road reconstruction project; the cost would be paid from the city's local match and the committee recommended approval pending issuance of the federal notice to proceed from OLDCC.
City Engineer Scott Lang presented a cost proposal Oct. 7 from American Engineering Testing Inc. for geotechnical investigations (soil borings) needed in the design of the North Ellsworth Road reconstruction project. Lang said the work would be part of the project design and is currently funded by OLDCC; the city would pay the cost as part of its local match and the committee voted to recommend approval and forward it to council pending the federal notice to proceed.
When asked why American Engineering Testing was selected, Lang said the firm is a well-known local provider that responds promptly and that the pricing was in line with expectations; staff reported they used a sole-source selection for this scope. A committee member moved to approve the cost proposal and forward it to council pending the notice to proceed. The transcript records a partially unclear dollar figure associated with the proposal and the committee did not record a roll-call tally.
Because the transcript contains a garbled amount for the proposal, the precise dollar figure is not specified in this article; the record includes the entry "in the amount of $14,890 and 4" which could not be verified from the audio transcript.
