WJE <br />Civic Center Plaza Structural Analysis <br />Structural Analysis of Civic Center Plaza of the Flag/Fountain <br />Contract Agreement Statement <br />We have reviewed the provided sample Agreement and concur with the provisions it contains. <br />Firm and Team Experience <br />Firm Overview <br />WJE is uniquely qualified to work with the City of Santa Ana to complete the structural analysis of <br />the Civic Center Plaza parking structure and deck. WJE offers a broad spectrum of services to <br />deliver better solutions to construction -related problems, centered on these core practice areas: <br />Areas of Expertise <br />Structural Evaluation Historic Preservation <br />Facade Assessment Bridge Engineering' <br />Roofing and Waterproofing Construction Materials Evaluation and Research <br />Peer Review and Commissionina Structural Testina and Instrumentation <br />Failure Investiaation and Disaster Resoonse <br />Experience in structural behavior and performance of materials is supported by technical expertise <br />in testing and instrumentation. The office and laboratory headquarters complex in Northbrook, <br />Illinois, offers 70,000 square feet of state-of-the-art structural and materials test facilities and <br />equipment for construction -related investigations, instrumentation, and research. WE also <br />maintains two additional laboratories in Cleveland, Ohio, and Austin, Texas. <br />WJE is the industry leader in concrete technology having completed numerous research and <br />training projects on concrete deterioration and corrosion protection for the American Concrete <br />Institute, Federal Highway Administration, National Highway Cooperative Research Project, <br />Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute and others. This work has positioned WJE at the forefront of <br />concrete repair and rehabilitation. <br />WJE has a long and proven track record of accomplishing projects on time, within stated budget <br />limitations, and with effective cost control. Our record on previous assignments for Federal, State, <br />and municipal agencies, as well as private industry has been and remains excellent. <br />Parking Structure Experience <br />WJE has successfully completed investigation, testing, and repair projects involving a wide range of <br />parking structure systems including those fabricated from precast and cast -in -place concrete using <br />conventional, prestressed or post -tensioned reinforcement. The challenge in designing durable <br />repairs for parking structures lies in correctly identifying the underlying cause(s) of distress or <br />deterioration. To meet this challenge, WJE has applied the lessons learned from thousands of <br />previous failure investigations and in-depth research into the corrosion behavior of embedded <br />reinforcement, sealers, cement chemistry, repair methods and materials, and petrography to <br />provide the best possible solutions for every client's parking structure problems. <br />Work has included investigation of corrosion of embedded reinforcement which produces such <br />visible effects such as cracking, delamination and spalling. Through a better understanding of the <br />causes of concrete deterioration, WJE has developed repair and rehabilitation solutions that range <br />from sealers and surface treatments that inhibit the ingress of corrosion chemicals such as <br />WJE No. 2020.1370 1 MARCH 11, 2020 Page 2 <br />
