(5) Survey & Geotechnical $87,411.50
(6) Other Direct Expenses $ 969.20

By State law engineering services must be a qualifications based selection. Upon selection of the engineer, scope is defined and fees are negotiated on a case by case basis. In April of 2014, the City of League City went through a selection process where firms were prequalified for a three year term based on a number of factors including firm/staff qualifications, experience, available resources, references, geographic location, and responsiveness.
Based on our professional experience firms are selected from the short list that we feel are qualified to meet the expectations of the community and complete the projects in accordance with local requirements and generally acceptable engineering standards. Over the last couple of years, HR Green was select because they have successfully completed a number of similar asphalt rehabilitation projects for League City on or ahead of schedule.
