The Council awarded the construction contract for this project on October 1, 2002. <br />Due to the diversity of the scope of work of this project, a full-time inspector is necessary for proper <br />execution of all the activities of the project. Presently, the Engineering Department has only one <br />public works inspector. Since the current inspector performs routine inspections on private <br />development and current public works projects, there is insufficient time available for proper <br />inspections of proposed EDA project. <br />On August 29, 2002, RFP (Request for Proposal for Construction Inspection) was sent out to three <br />(3) Engineering Firms. Staff received formal proposal from Engineering Firms namely: <br />GK & Associates from Diamond Bar, California <br />L. D.
