MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 16, 1993
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Montye E. Beamer, Director
Administrative Services
SUBJECT: Construction Materials Testing Services
City Hall/Police Department
The City as its responsibility and for its protection must provide the geotechnical engineer for
evaluating the suitability of the soil material at the construction site and for notification to the
contractor when the unsuitable material and concrete grout have been removed. Additionally
the geotechnical engineer must identify the top surface level of buried subsurface unsuitable
materials in areas of the site where unsuitable materials are below a layer of suitable materials.
In order for this work to be independent of all other contracts, the City must contract direct with
the geotechnical engineers. L.J. Nodarse & Associates, Inc. provided the original report as to
the affected apron, and staff recommends the continuation of this firm. Initiation of work will
be contingent upon contractor's critical path.
The City Attorney has reviewed the attached contract.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Mayor and Board of City Commissioners (1) approve the Construction Materials Testing
Services - City Hall/Police Department with L.J. Nodarse & Associates, Inc. in the amount of
$11,343.00 and (2) authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute.

changes in compensation or scope of work. It shall be

Contract.
2. RENEGOTIATION BY CONSULTANT; RIGHT TO TERMINATE:

suspension of CONSULTANT's services exceed one
hundred-twenty (120) days, then CONSULTANT and CITY

the services remaining to be performed and the
total fees paid to CONSULTANT hereunder. The
parties shall then have the opportunity of
negotiating a change in fees to be paid to the
CONSULTANT for the balance of the services to be
performed hereunder. No increase in fees to the
- 16 -
CONSULTANT shall be allowed unless it is based upon
clear and convincing evidence of an increase in

fees, CONSULTANT may terminate this Contract by
