Body
BACKGROUND
The request for qualifications (CIZ-DWU-22 309E) was issued in July 2022 for the 2022 construction material testing services. The consulting firm, Raba Kistner, Inc., was selected following a qualifications-based selection process in accordance with the City of Dallas procurement guidelines.
On September 27, 2022, Administrative Action No. 22-6372 authorized a professional services contract with Raba Kistner, Inc. for the construction material testing services for the Canada Drive project.
Due to the complexity of the Canada Drive Project and unforeseen field conditions, additional construction material testing services and time are needed to complete the project. Consequently, it is necessary to add the additional construction material testing services and time needed to extend the contract with Raba Kistner, Inc., until February 2026, to complete the ongoing construction of Canada Drive from Westmoreland Road to North Hampton Road, and South Canada Drive from Calypso Street to Canada Drive East.
This action will authorize Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the professional services contract with Raba Kistner, Inc. for the additional construction material testing services needed for the Canada Drive Project. Also, it will add days to extend the construction material testing services contract with Raba Kistner, Inc. until February 2026 to complete the construction of the Canada Drive Project.
