BACKGROUND:
The Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group, Department of Public Works and the Water Utilities require the services of a soils and materials testing consultant to perform quality assurance testing for hot-mix asphalt, concrete and other materials used for the City's construction contracts.

The first option year was approved by the City Council on November 7, 2018.

DISCUSSION:
Midland has continued to provide good service during the first option year and has provided $25,113.30 in services to date in 2019.
