The services of a consultant are needed to provide field investigations, laboratory tests, and
conclusions and recommendations regarding seismic characteristics related to the Byron Highway
Bridge. The consultant will also prepare plans and specifications for the retrofit which will be
included as a part of the resurfacing project. Fred Huang and Associates was selected from a
group of several firms solicited to provide these services.
Fred Huang and Associates is a Minority Business Enterprise and have declared their intent to
meet the County's Women Business Enterprise goals through the use of subconsultants.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the Consulting Services Agreement with Fred Huang and Associates is not approved, design
of the project cannot be completed and the County and State may lose the federal matching
funds.
