Kleinfelder Statement of Qualifications for On -Call Material Testing and Special Inspection Services for City of Santa Ana, RFP No. 20-111 Shotcrete. Our deputy inspectors will observe shotcrete placement and sample shotcrete materials for appropriate testing. They will observe cores of test panels looking for voids, sand lenses, rebound, or other evidence of inadequate application. Source Inspection. Our deputy inspectors will observe source inspection for concrete and asphalt concrete at mixing plants, and inspection for other materials at their source as required by the project specifications. Painting. Our deputy inspectors will visually observe painting/coatings and/or corrosion protection as required by the project specifications. This inspection may include non-destructive testing of the painting coating thickness and/or non-destructive testing which may include holiday testing to verify materials meet the project requirements. In addition to the standard materials testing and inspections listed above, we can provide other quality control services as requested by the City. The Kleinfelder Team has a team of registered engineers and professionals who can work with the City's staff to recommend test methods on defective work and advise the City of acceptance standards. Independent Assurance Sampling and Testing (IAST) Program Kleinfelder's KQMP is designed to be consistent with the requirements of ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001-2008, "Quality Management Systems - Requirements", Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 830, Subpart A — "Quality Assurance Requirements" (10CFR830, Subpart A) and implementation guidance provided Department of Energy Order 414.1 D, "Quality Assurance" (DOE O 414.1 D). Our KQMP is generally compliant with other quality requirement documents such as QC-1 (cited in Requests for Proposals by the Department of Defense) and meets Caltrans ISAT program. Our plan is typically invoked on Kleinfelder projects that require sampling/testing other than ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001-2008, or 1 OCFR830 Subpart A and Caltrans criteria, with no or minimal modification. Our KQMP consists of two parts which include a written overview of Kleinfelder's quality expectations and the specific endorsed Kleinfelder Quality Procedures (KQPs). This plan will be utilized to verify sampling and testing is performed correctly and to ensure that all equipment is properly calibrated and labelled. Additionally, the plan includes our processes to ensure that actions are immediately taken when test results are questionable or when discrepancies are found, and the corrective actions taken upon findings. Our KQMP also includes a continuous review and as needed modifications, to our processes to stay up to date with industry changes and best practices that can benefit Kleinfelder and our clients. Laboratory Accreditations Kleinfelder maintains three southern California laboratories: Ontario, Long Beach, and San Diego. Kleinfelder's laboratories are fully equipped for testing construction materials. Kleinfelder has an in-house QA program to maintain a high level of accuracy and reproducibility in testing services performed by the firm. Experienced technicians perform the laboratory tests under the supervision of a registered professional engineer who will review all test results prior to distribution. Our laboratory will conduct acceptance testing of the materials on the first day when work is performed, and will continue to perform testing until the work is completed. All gauges, proving rings, scales, and other equipment used for testing are maintained and calibrated on a bJV'r 1 w24 &SI P /NFELOEF Kleinfelder 118
