REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />ver <br />TO ITEM NUMBER <br />Ci Council 7.3.B. <br />AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY <br />Administration May 16, 2011 Justin Femrite~City Engineer on behalf <br /> of the Public Works Facility <br /> Committee <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED B~/ <br />Approval of Quotes Received for the Hiring of a <br />Commissioning Firm for the Public Works and Fleet REVIEWED BY <br />Maintenance Project <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Approval of low quote submitted for professional services involved with providing commissioning <br />services on the Public Works and Fleet Maintenance Facility project. <br />BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION <br />'The Council on March 14, 2011 authorized staff to gather quotes from qualified firms to provide third <br />party commissioning services for the duration of the Public Works and Fleet Maintenance facility project. <br />The Council previously approved the base contract with the 292 Design Group, which did not include <br />the commissioning as that was an optional item. We met with 4 separate firms to explain our project and <br />describe the services required. The 4 firms provide proposals for full commission services from initial <br />planning through final construction. Through our meetings with these firms, we developed confidence in <br />the ability of all firms interviewed. We feel moving ahead with this service will pay for itself with cost <br />saving inefficiencies found during the project. The proposals we received are as follows: <br />Hallberg Engineering, Inc, White Bear Lake - $19,500 <br />Institute for Environmental Services, Inc, Brooklyn Park - $19,000 <br />Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc., St. Paul - $23,150 <br />Willen Incorporated, Burnsville - $40,000 <br />The Public Works Facility Committee has reviewed the quotes and checked on the references provided <br />by Institute for Environmental Services. We recommend the award of this work to Institute for <br />Environmental Services, Inc. in the amount of $19,000. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The funding for these services will come from the government building fund with a transfer from the <br />municipal liquor fund once the complete scope of phase I is determined. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Institute for Environmental Services, Inc.
