BACKGROUND
Material Testing Services are used to ensure the quality of construction. In order to select the most highly qualified laboratory to conduct the material testing for 2025 Annual Resurfacing project, the Department of Transportation and Public Works provided a questionnaire to the short-listed laboratories selected from CIZ-DWU-24 399E, the 2024 Construction Material Testing procurement. The responses received from the laboratories were evaluated by a screening committee and selected two laboratories to provide material testing services to 2025 Annual Street Resurfacing Project. Raba Kistner, Inc., is one of the two laboratories selected and is used for the material testing services in the eastern division.
This action will authorize an engineering services contract with Raba Kistner, Inc., to provide construction materials testing for the 2025 Annual Street Resurfacing Project (East).
