CONSENT AGENDA
Action Item
The Public Works Department requires the services of a materials testing consultant to assure
that high quality asphalt and concrete materials are utilized by contractors in this year's Street
Resurfacing and Sidewalk Improvement Programs. Staff prepared and advertised a detailed
Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure these services. Tasks defined in the scope of work
include:
• Engineering Technician - HMA/PCC Field Inspection
• PCC Compressive Strength Tests (per cylinder)
• Cylinder Pickup
• Pavement Cores
• Nuclear Density Gauge
• Maximum Theoretical Specific Gravity
• Bulk Specific Gravity
• Binder Ignition / Reflux Extraction
• Project Management / Report Review
• Vehicle Charge
RFP Responses
Three (3) consultants submitted responses to the Village RFP, both technical and cost
proposals. The content within the technical proposals was reviewed, including the consultant's
understanding of the Village's goals and needs for the 2025 Material Testing Services.
Proposals were rated (with a maximum score of 50 points) according to the following specific
categories: Firm Background, Similar Project Experience, Scope of Services, and Key
Personnel. The results of the proposal review are provided in the tables below:

Discussion
Rubino Engineering, Inc. (Rubino) has an experienced professional staff with a thorough
understanding of the material testing requirements necessary to successfully accomplish the
Village's projects. They are prequalified by IDOT to perform this work, operate an AASHTO
accredited laboratory, 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. The cost proposal from
Rubino included a total amount of $47,060.00. However, a minor calculation error has the true
total amount to be $47,230.00.
It is Village staff's opinion that Rubino will provide high quality material testing services at a
reasonable cost. 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. To allow for
contingencies and the possible need for additional testing, staff recommends that the contract
award be for the base amount ($47,230.00) + 5% contingency ($2,370.00) for a total amount
of $49,600.00.
Alternatives
1. Accept Rubino Engineering, Inc. proposal to provide materials testing services for the
2025 Street Resurfacing and Sidewalk Improvement Projects.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the proposal by
provide Material Testing Services for the 2025 Street Resurfacing
Improvement Projects for a not to exceed amount of $49,600.
