B. Since Fire Station No. 7 is an essential services
building, as defined by the Essential Services Buildings
Seismic Safety Act of 198.6, the construction must have
continuous inspection in all stages of its progress. In
addition, certain materials tests must be performed.
C. The General Services Department requested proposals from
five testing and inspection firms, and received three
responses. The most advantageous proposal was by Signet
Testing Labs. Signet Testing Labs has been recognized as
a bonefide minority business enterprise by the San
Francisco Redevelopment Agency, the Port of Oakland,
Sacramento Regional Transit, and the City and County of
San Francisco.
D. The County must proceed with this consulting services
agreement for testing and inspection services because it
does not have sufficient staff, facilities or equipment
to provide the required services.
