These inspectors regularly inspect the City's capital improvement projects <br />and utility permit projects performed by private utility companies. While most City services are provided <br />by regular City employees, the City occasionally contracts with outside firms to provide specialized <br />expertise or to provide additional capacity during peak work periods. We recently filled the second <br />position, but we still have a very high workload that requires the need for two additional engineering <br />inspectors. The proposed amendment to the existing contract will 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 Friday, January 5, 2018, five proposals were received. After review of the proposals and <br />interviews with two firms selected to move forward in the process, staff selected CSG Consultants, Inc. as <br />the most 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 />5 <br />
