Discussion
Applied GeoScience, Inc. has a very experienced professional staff with a thorough understanding of the material
testing requirements necessary to successfully accomplish this for the village's projects. They are prequalified by the
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to perform this work and have the capability to respond to our specific
project needs. They have successfully accomplished these same services for numerous communities in recent years
and received positive references from those communities. It is staffs opinion that Applied GeoScience, Inc. will
provide high quality materials testing services at a reasonable cost. Applied GeoScience's proposal is attached.
The services listed in the proposal are based on estimated jobsite work hours using averages from previous years and
prorated for the anticipated work for this year. Many factors can influence the actual jobsite work hours for quality
assurance testing. In order to allow for contingencies and the possible need for additional testing, staff recommends
that the contract award include a 20% contingency ($19,612 + $3,923 = $23,535).
Alternatives
1. Accept Applied GeoScience, Inc. proposal to provide materials testing services for 2018 Street Resurfacing and
sidewalk improvement programs.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the proposal from Applied GeoScience, Inc. to provide material
testing services for the 2018 Street Resurfacing Program and sidewalk improvement projects for a not to exceed
amount of $23,535.
