(Continued)
B. Since the Sheriff Patrol and Investigation Building is an
essential services building, as defined by the Essential
Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act of 1986, the
construction must have continuous inspection in all
stages of its progress. In addition, certain materials
tests must be conducted.
C. The General Services Department requested proposals from
four 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.
