SUMMARY
The Department of Public Works & Utilities (Department) routinely procures services for required material testing and special inspections on all City-sponsored projects since the City does not have material testing laboratories or personnel to perform this work in-house. Materials testing and special inspections are required on all capital improvement projects to ensure that the materials used meet project specifications.
