These inspectors regularly inspect the City's capital improvement projects and utility permit <br />projects performed by private utility companies. While most City services are provided by staff, the City <br />contracts with outside firms to provide specialized expertise or to provide additional capacity during peak <br />work periods. At this time, one budgeted engineering construction inspector position is filled with a <br />regular employee, and funds from the other position were used to fund a contract position for a period <br />of one year beginning in September 2018. Due to the high volume of capital improvement projects under <br />construction, a third inspector is required, and the proposed amendment to the existing contract will <br />provide that support. <br />On December 13, 2017, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Construction Inspection Services to <br />the eight firms on the Engineering and Transportation Division's pre -qualified consultant list for this type <br />of work. On January 5, 2018, five proposals were received. After review of the proposals and interviews <br />with two firms selected to move forward in the process, staff selected CSG Consultants, Inc. as the most <br />qualified firm to provide construction inspection services. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />103 <br />
