The funding for each geotechnical <br />services agreement (by task order) is the responsibility of the assigning department and <br />the cost will be a part of each capital project requiring geotechnical services. <br /> <br />Project summary statement: <br />The Public Works Department maintains a roster of pre-qualified, pre-contracted <br />geotechnical firms to provide on-call geotechnical services. Past practice necessitated <br />individual departments and project managers to contracts for geotechnical services on a <br />single project basis, which was time consuming. Costs could vary throughout the <br />construction season and occasionally firms were not available. <br />The current on-call geotechnical agreement with HWA GeoSciences Inc was amended on <br />December 4, 2024, to extend to December 31, 2025. The amendment, however, did not <br />increase compensation or update compensation rates. A new agreement for $250,000, <br />expiring on December 31, 2026 will replace the current agreement. <br /> <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize the Mayor to sign the Professional Services Agreement for 2025/2026 On-Call <br />Geotechnical Services with HWA GeoSciences Inc. <br />
