~ ~ <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />T0: Jack Owen <br />City Manager <br />FROM: John Joe n <br />Interim C ordinator <br />DATE: June 19, 1 <br />SUBJECT: Recommendation of Laboratory & Testing Consultants <br />CLP ~~84-7151 <br />Wastewater Treatment Plant & Relief Trunk Sewer <br />The review of the proposals received for Laboratory & Testing Services <br />has been more tedious than originally anticipated. The City of La <br />Porte did not receive proposals based on a structured RFP. Therefore, <br />the format and presentation varied from consultant to consultant <br />making the evaluations somewhat complex. <br />There are several well prepared proposals from very capable firms. <br />There will be no problem in selection of a firm that can perform the <br />necessary testing within our estimated budget of $25,000 - $30,000. <br />However, there are some questions that I would like to have answered <br />before making a final recommendation. I plan to communicate with <br />several of the consultants by phone this afternoon. <br />In reviewing the proposals, it was noticed that the fees for most of <br />the laboratory services were very similar. Consequently, the final <br />recommendation will be based on the consultants understanding of the <br />requirements as evidenced by their proposals along with an evaluation <br />of several significant incidentals (i.e. transportation charges, <br />vehicle charges, minimum hours, etc.) and intangibles. <br />I regret not having a full recommendation for Thursday's Council <br />packet. I will have the necessary information compiled this afternoon <br />and a recommendation available on Friday. <br />JJ/tla <br />xc: Steve Gillett <br />
