Kleinfelder Statement of Qualifications for On -Call Material Testing and Special Inspection Services for City of Santa Ana, RFP No. 20-111 Kleinfelder is capable of developing asphalt concrete mix designs for leveling course, asphalt base course, surface course, and wearing course, including rubberized asphalt concrete mixes. Kleinfelder can prepare and develop these mix designs in-house, utilizing the appropriate test methods and samples of aggregate and binder from local asphalt suppliers. In addition, we can develop mix designs for concrete pavement, full depth reclamation sections, and cement treated base materials. Task 5: Material Testing & Inspection Services We understand and are well -versed in the City's requirements for timeliness and efficiency in performing work, scheduling, and reporting results.

Our field staff will review safety protocols and safe work practices for each activity. They are equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for services they will provide, which include reflective safety vests, steel -toed boots, hard hats, gloves, and eye protection. They will participate in daily safety tailgate meetings prior to the start of work.
