slurry seal, ARHM overlay, asphalt overlay, traffic signal, storm drain, sewer, water, and other appurtenant work. Traffic and Safety Willdan's in-house seminars include WATCH Manual and MUTCD compliance, storm water abatement and QSP/QSD training, materials testing and placement, and mass grading. Our inspectors are fully knowledgeable in the latest regulations for WATCH Manual, California OSHA, and MUTCD. Our construction managers and inspectors have the authority and capability to quickly identify any flaws in the contractor's traffic control and safety plans and meet with the contractor to immediately rectify the issue with agreed -upon solutions that meet the requirement standards while avoiding project delays. Contractor Compliance Our inspection staff has extensive experience with a myriad of public works projects and our staff has a clear understanding of the issues surrounding inspection of the work. For example, when constructing sidewalks and ADA-compliant ramps, our inspector will ensure adequate subgrade compaction has been achieved. Inspectors will monitor the work for conformance with the plans, specifications, and ADA requirements. The concrete ticket will be checked to ensure materials match the approved mix design. A smart level will be used to check forms and the contractor will not be allowed to place concrete until the inspector is assured the work meets all City and other applicable standards. Willdan's inspectors will monitor the contractor's operations for conformance with City compaction standards by working with the City's approved material testing lab and will not accept any trench backfill or allow any pavement repair until proper compaction is verified by the lab. Project -Specific Quality Assurance Plan One of the keys to avoiding construction issues is to begin with a well-defined work plan. Willdan will devise a construction management work plan for each of the City's projects to provide for any scope required — from simple inspection to complete program and construction management, including design team oversight and management; general contractor's contract administration; project scheduling, budget and controls; building and public works inspections; and materials testing compliance. As part of our project -specific quality assurance program, upon receipt of a task order, our construction manager will prepare a work plan that fully addresses staffing and assignments, scope of work, deliverables, budget, and project schedule. Willdan adopted Caltrans' Construction Manual and Bridge Construction Records and Procedures Manual, Volumes t and 2, as our standard procedures over 25 years ago. Our construction management and inspection staff offer long-term expertise with: • Caltrans design procedures • Caltrans Local Assistance Procedure Manual (LAPM) • Caftrans Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG) • Caftrans Standard Plans and Specifications State regulatory requirements Quality assurance and control procedures are critical to ensuring that sound practices and quality deliverables are provided to our clients throughout project construction. Willdan's Resident Engineer/QA Assurance Manager, Mr. Mike Bustos, PE, ENV SP, will review the project -specific quality assurance plans and oversee their implementation and use throughout the term of each project. The basic goal of the quality assurance plan is to provide quality work delivered on time and within budget. It is a primary tool of the project effort with periodic team meetings to: • Address contractor coordination issues • Identify key dates to maintain the project schedule • Investigate constructability, • Discuss construction sequencing • Track progress This project -specific plan will include, at a minimum, the project description and objectives; required services; project organization; construction schedule; standards of practice; project procedures; project team meetings; effective communication mediums; scheduled quality control processes; invoicing Statement of Qualifications for Water Resources 14 Construction Management and Inspection Services
