Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,

for an additional first amendment expenditure amount not-to-exceed $67,196.00, with the total contract

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
On February 18, 2025, the City of Denton entered into an agreement with Terracon Consultants, Inc. to
provide construction materials testing services for Fire Station No. 5, Fire Station No. 6, and the Solid
Waste Fleet projects. As vertical construction has progressed, additional construction observations have
become necessary to ensure the proper installation and performance of the building envelope systems. These
services include verification of general conformance with construction documents, evaluation of
constructability issues related to the building envelope, and field testing of newly installed window systems.
To complete these tasks, Terracon must perform specialized materials testing that requires the use of
advanced laboratory equipment capable of assessing temperature, humidity, soils, concrete, structural steel,
aggregates, and other components, as well as conducting special inspections for structural steel.
The proposed contract amendment provides the additional funding required to complete these expanded
testing and inspection services. City staff have reviewed the requested increase and determined that it is
necessary, consistent with the original project scope, and aligned with the unit pricing established in the
master agreement.
Request for Qualifications for materials testing services for Facilities Management was solicited using the
City’s formal solicitation process. City Council approved a pre-qualified list of professional service firms
on July 20, 2021 (Ordinance 21-1437).
