services, tile City received five proposals. The proposals are as follows:
1. B . S. I. Con s u 1 ta n ts
2. Willdan Associates
3. Luke-Dudek Civil Engineers, Inc.
4. Bernard Cook & Company, Inc.
5. Pacific Engineering Laboratories, Inc.
(for soil testing services only)

thei r experi ence was geared towards bui 1 di ng constructi on i nspecti on instead
of public works related projects.

$49 per hour
