We understand the City provides internal inspection of city projects including but not limited to road construction, utilities, subdivision construction, concrete curb & gutter, asphalt pavement, etc. Based on our experience working for the City in previous years, material testing services for most projects will require intermittent services of NTI with actual project needs based on project specifications, or as directed by you and /or your project representatives. Per your recent request, we present to you the following information on our company, personnel, capabilities, experience and fees for performing the geotechnical and testing services. Company Information Northern Technologies, Inc. (NTI) provides comprehensive geotechnical, and materials testing services. We look forward to continuing our nearly decade long relationship with the City of Ramsey to help assure quality infrastructure improvements for the residents of our community. Northern Technologies, Inc. was established in Fargo in 1996 by Marc D. Shannon, PE. In 2001 NTI opened its Twin Cities office in Ramsey. NTI employs over 30 full time technical personal, including 7 professional engineers and 2 E.I.T.'s. During the construction season an additional 10 - 15 full time and part-time engineering technicians and student interns are added to our staff. Geotechnical and material testing services are provided to a variety of federal and state agencies, counties, cities, property owners, developers, contractors, engineers and architects. NTI senior staff members all have significant experience providing construction related services on a wide range of projects in the Twin Cities area. The City benefits from this experience on every project through our standardized peer review and quality control processes. At the same time, NTI is a small firm giving the client direct access to our officers and senior staff whenever the need arises. We are focused on delivering outstanding service to our clients with quick turn - around and dependability. We intentionally keep our overhead low so our fees are as reasonable as possible.
