Requests for proposals were sent to six firms; three submitted
proposals. The Consultant Evaluation Committee, after careful
consideration of each firm, recommends Testing Engineers of San
Diego, Inc. as the only firm capable of providing all required
services.

the respective accounts.
A Blanket Purchase Order for an annual amount not to exceed
$50,000 will be issued to Testing Engineers and will be
monitored/administered by the City Engineer.
