SUBJECT:

On-Call Construction Materials Testing Agreements for San Antonio Airport System


SUMMARY:

This Ordinance authorizes the execution of three on-call construction material testing (CMT) services agreements for a 5 year term with Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI), Raba Kistner, Inc.

(Terracon), each in the amount not to exceed $450,000.00 per contract, to provide as-needed construction material testing services for construction and planning projects in the San Antonio Airport System.

On-call delivery agreements provide an efficient means of obtaining standard services needed repetitively and have been used successfully by the Aviation and other city departments.
