Joel Seeley CC Paul Griffin, Building Committee From Tom Wren Date May 3, 1995 Re Testing and Inspection Services: Recommendation: UTS In response to your requests for proposals dated April 6, 1995 we understand that, of the sample prices you received from prospective vendors, the lowest rates were submitted by Briggs Associates, Inc. and Messrs. UTS of Massachusetts Inc. and that little difference exists between them. In terms of quality and reliability of service, we further understand that, based on previous experience, you are going to recommend the services of UTS to the Building Committee at the forthcoming meeting. We would advise that we concur with your recommendation. We would suggest that, in reaching an agreement with UTS, a form of words be found which will allow you latitude to seek an alternative supplier should the need arise for any reason. We are not anticipating any problems with UTS; our suggestion is made merely as a means to ensure continued quality of service for the Building Committee. As a budget exists for testing and inspection services, we would be keen to maintain a monthly running total of expenditure under this head. Since the invoices of UTS will be conveyed through yourselves, we would request that you also maintain a running total when the same are presented for approval by the Building Committee. We can discuss this further at the Pre-pre-construction meeting.
