earthquake retrofit - need engineer & contractor

[Chris Angels]

My soft structure apartment needs to have the carport reinforced for earthquake safety.  Can anyone send me names of structural engineers and contractors who can do this at a reasonable price?  At this point, I have a hard time just getting an engineer out to look at it.  It's a 4 unit apartment so they consider it too small for their time and want $250-$350 just to come out there to look at the place and talk to me.  Most contractors I've called are either not equipped to do the retrofit, or are too big to want to deal with a small job.  I am in the San Jose area.

Thanks,

Chris
