2026-1343
MEETING OF MAY 5, 2026
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THROUGH: Chris Brown, Public Works Director
FROM: Justin Bland, City Engineer
SUBJECT: On-Call materials services as needed
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a resolution to award RFQ 26-01, Selection #1 to McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc., Olsson,
Inc. and GTS, Inc. as primary providers based on rates provided and availability for on-call materials services
as needed through April 30, 2027.
BACKGROUND:

and various other materials used during the construction of these projects. The testing is done to ensure that
the materials and the installation meet the City requirements and the project’s specifications.
DISCUSSION:
An engineering selection committee selected McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc., Olsson, Inc. and GTS,
Inc. to be used for on-call materials testing services for street, drainage and utilities projects through April 30,
2027.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Funds for the material testing have been budgeted in various capital projects with the Sales Tax Capital
Improvements Fund, the Transportation Bond Fund, Drainage Bond Fund and the Water and Sewer Fund.
