SUMMARY
The construction of public works infrastructure improvements and buildings require the use of
quality materials .and construction methods to assure longevity and usefulness. In an effort to
ensure that the City continues to obtain quality improvements, materials testing, geotechnical
engineering, storm water monitoring and special inspection services for projects built with both
public and private funds, on December 26 2008, an RFP was issued.for such services. Several
proposals were received arid through the consultant selection processes for this service, staff has
. negotiated proposed contracts with the following:
1. Ninyo & Moore - San Diego, CA
2. MacTec - San Diego, CA
3. Nova Engineering and Environmental- San Diego, CA
4. Southern California Soil & Testing - San Diego, CA
These companies will provide on-call Materials Testing, Geotechnical and Building Special
Inspection Consulting Services from April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010, with options to extend
the agreements for two additional years without going through the Consultant selection process
as outlined in the City's Municipal Code.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to
Section l5060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The constmction of public works infrastmcture improvements requires the use of quality
materials and construction methods to assure their longevity and usefulness. In order to verify
that materials used in City projects meet .the City's specifications, certifications are obtained from
manufacturers and material suppliers and supplemental testing is required on a project-by-project
basis. Geotechnical analysis is often required to aid in the design and construction processes
and, ultimately, to avoid costly construction changes due to unknown subsurface soil conditions.
Specialized inspection requiring lCBO certification is required by the Building Department for
various building components to assure proper construction methods and materials are utilized.
The National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Permit
requires that the City samples and test storm water for compliance.
The City does not have the staff or the equipment to perform this highly specialized testing,
engineering, and inspection work. In order to perform this work in-house, the City would be
required to purchase very expensive equipment and materials and would need to hire four to six
full-time personnel certified and qualified to perform highly-specialized building component
inspections, to operate a laboratory, and to perform field testing and sampling in a timely and
efficient manner. Further, the laboratory and field operations would have to be overseen at least
part-time by a Registered Professional Engineer with laboratory experience, who would also be
required to review, sign, and certify all test reports. Therefore, it is much more practical and
feasible to hire consultants on an as-needed basis. Staff recommends entering into agreements
With the Consultants stated above based upon the volume and scope of upcoming City
infrastructure and building projects. The services to be provided by the consultants have been
obtained from various consultants since about 1990 and have increased the City's ability to
assure the use of quality materials in its projects.
Consultant Selection Process
Per the consultant selection procedures, as outlined in the City's Municipal Code, a Request for
Proposal (RFP) was issued. Eight responses to the RFP were received on January 13, 2009 from
the following consultants:
Southern California Soil & Testing - San Diego, CA
Ninyo & Moore - San Diego, CA
Kleinfelder, Inc. - San Diego, CA

Page 3 of 4
Leighton Consulting, Inc. - Sari. Diego, CA
Nova Engineering and Environmental- San Diego, CA
MacTec - San Diego, CA
Geocon Incorporated - San Diego, CA
Christian Wheeler Engineering - San Diego CA
A Selection Committee was formed which was comprised of the following City personnel:
Silvester Evetovich, Principal Civil Engineer (Public Works)
Gordon Day, Sr. Building Project Manager (Public Works)
Roberto Yano, Sr. Civil Engineer (Public Works)
. The Committee evaluated and rated Consultants based on their proposals. The following are the
results of the Selection Committee's analysis in final rank order:
1. Ninyo & Moore - San Diego, CA
2. MacTec - San Diego, CA
3. Nova Engineering and Environmental- San Diego, CA
4. Southern California Soil & Testing - San Diego, CA
Agreement - Scope of Services/F eeslTerm
The extent of these services will be determined on a project-by-project basis and will cover
public projects and, on occasion, private projects in which the results of laboratory tests
submitted by developers and contractors must be independently verified. The fees for these
services will be based on standard schedules of fees. Overall personnel rates and materials
testing fees are comparable for the majority of the services that will be required during the terms
of the agreements (See Exhibits B, C, D, E of agreements for rates).
Awarding contracts to all selected Consultants will allow City staff to obtain the best budget
proposals for any type oJ project. Staff estimates that during the initial term of the contract, each
consultant will provide materials testing and geotechnical engineering services on an intermittent
basis at a cost not-to-exceed $500,000 per consultant. Since all services are provided on an on-
call, as-needed basis, the total compensation will be controlled by the actual services needed, and
as determined by the City's Project.
Each of the proposed agreements includes provisions for a two-year extension of the agreement
(January I, 2011 to December 31, 2012) by mutual consent of both parties, which would include
the possible renegotiation of fees. If the consultants' work continues to be satisfactory and staff is
able to reach agreement with all of the consultants on terms for a proposed extension, then staff
will retum to Council at the appropriate time in the future for approval to extend said agreement
for two additional years.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section
l8704.2(a)(l) is not applicable to this decision.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approval of tonight's resolution will not authorize the expenditure of any additional funds.
All funding for the consultants' service will be from funds already allocated for eIP projects or
would be reimbursable to the City from Developer deposits. vVhile there is no direct impact to
the general fund presently, there does exist the possibility that a CIP that is all or partly funded
from the general fund could utilize the services contemplated by these contracts and thus causing
a general fund impact.

THIS ENDORSEMENT CHANGES THE POLICY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED
(ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS)
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE PART
A. The following is added to WHO IS AN INSURED
(Section II):
Any person or organization that you agree in a 'contract
or agreement requiring insurance" to include as an
additional insured on this Coverage Part, but only with
respect to iiability for "bodily injury", "property damage"
or 'personal injury" caused, in whole or in part, by your
acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of those
acting on your behalf:
a. In the performance of your ongoing operations;
b. In connection with premises owned by or rented to
you; or
c. In connection with "your work" and included within
the "products-completed operations hazard".
Such person or organization. does not qualify as an
additional insured for "bodily injury", 'property dam age"
or "personal injury" for which that person or organization
has assumed liability in a contract or agreement.
The insurance provided to the additional insured is
iimited as follows:
d. This insurance does not apply on any basis to any
person or organization for which coverage as an
additional insured specificaily is added by another
endorsement to this Coverage Part.
e. This insurance does not apply to the rendering of or
failure to render any 'professional services".
f. The limits of insurance afforded to the additional
insured shall be the limits which you agreed in that
"contract or agreement requiring insurance" to
provide for that additional insured, or the limits
shown in the Declarations for this Coverage Part,
whichever. are less. This endorsem ent does not
increase the limits of insurance stated in the LIMITS
OF INSURANCE (Section III) for this Coverage
Part.
B. The following is added to Paragraph a. of 4. Other
Insurance in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY
CONDITIONS (Section IV):
However, if you specifically agree in a "contract or
agreement requiring insurance" that the insurance
provided to an additional insured under this Coverage Part
must apply on a primary basis, or a primary and non-
contributory basis, this insurance is primary to other
insurance that is available to such additional insured
which covers such additional insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with the other insurance, provided
that:
(1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal injury" for Which coverage is
sought arises out of an offense committed;
after you have entered into that 'contract or agreement
requiring insurance". But this insurance still is excess
over valid and collectible other insurance, whether
primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is
available to the insured when the insured is an additional
insured under any other insurance.
C. . The following is added to Paragraph 8. Transfer Of
Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us in
COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS
(Section IV):
We waive any rights of recovery we may have against any
person or organization because of payments we make for
"bodily injury", "property damage" or 'personal injury"
arising out of "your work" performed by you, or on your
behalf, under a 'contract or agreement requiring
insurance" with that person or organization. We waive
these rights only where you have agreed to do so as part
of the 'contract or agreement requiring insurance" with
such person or organization entered into by you berore,
and in effect when, the 'bodily injury" or "property
damage" occurs, or the 'personal injury" offense is
committed.
D. The following definition is added to DEFINITIONS
(Section V):
"Contract or agreement requiring insurance" means that
part or any contract or agreement under which you are
required to include a person or organization as an
additional insured on this Coverage Part, provided that the
'bodily injury" and "property damage" occurs, and the.
'personal injury" is caused by an qffense committed:
a. Afte( you have entered into that contract or
agreement;
b. While that part of the contract or agreement is
in effect; and
c. Before the end of the poi icy period.
