BACKGROUND
On February 25, 1992, Council awarded the subject project to Excel Paving

Sand Canyon Road; construction of curbs and gutters, sidewalk on the north side,
landscaped raised medians, drainage structures and street lights; and the
installation of a traffic signal system on Soledad Canyon Road at the on/off
ramp to State Route 14.

responded to a Request for Proposal for these services:
Company
1. Professional Service Industries, Inc.
2. Converse Consultants West
3. Leighton.and Associates, Inc.
4. Associated Soil Engineering, Inc.
5. Earth System Consultants Southern California
All firms submitting proposals were found to be qualified and were considered
responsive; however, based on the hourly rates quoted, estimated total cost, and
overall responsiveness to the RFP, staff recommends that material testing for
this project be awarded to Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI). PSI has
over 50 years experience in material testing and has satisfactorily completed
similar work for the City _ of Santa Clarita. Also, PSI is currently providing
similar services for the San Fernando Road widening project. It is estimated
that the total material testing costs may approach $30,000, which is
approximately 1 percent of the total construction costs.
Enter into negotiations with PSI for material testing services for
Project 91-04, and upon agreement, execute a contract for this work. Services
to be performed either at a fixed rate, or at hourly rates, as negotiated. In
the event that an agreement cannot be reached with PSI, authorize similar
negotiations and contract execution with other consultants, in the order listed
above.
