2002 MATERIAL TESTING
In conjunction with our 2002 Street Resurfacing Program, we requested proposals from material
tasting consultants. These proposals were to provide the following:
· Cost to perform the testing of concrete material for the new curbs and driveway aprons.
· Cost to perform the testing of asphalt binder and surface mix material at the asphalt plant
and the testing of the asphalt binder and surface as it is placed.

2002 Street Resurfacing Program.

2002 Material Testing

Discussion
All of the proposals fulfilled the requirements requested by the Village. All of the proposals also
included references of past work and qualifications of the personnel who will be evaluating the
material samples.
Atter reviewing the proposals, American GeoEngineering, Inc. offers the best overall services for
the cost. American GeoEngineering, Inc. has previously completed material testing for the
Village in conjunction with the 2001 Street Resurfacing and Reconstruction Programs and their
work has been acceptable.
Recommendation
The quantities listed in the proposal are estimated quantities based on averages from previous
years and prorated for the anticipated work for this year. Many factors can influence the actual
quantities for material testing, especially weather and unanticipated soil conditions. Therefore, I
recommend that the proposal from American GeoEngineering, Inc. be accepted at the April 2,
2002 Village Board meeting for the full budgeted amount of $80,000.00.
This work will be funded with the budget account listed below and as shown on page 294 of the
2002 Budget Book:
