Kleinfelder Statement of Qualifications for On -Call Material Testing and Special Inspection Services for City of Santa Ana, RFP No. 20-111 The following outlines a typical work plan for materials testing and inspection services anticipated under this contract: Task 1: Project Kick -Off Meeting Our project team will meet with City representatives to initialize the project expectations, in terms of scope of services, schedule, and budget requirements. Communication controls and expectations will be clearly outlined for future activities. The primary goal is to have a mutual understanding of the City's expectations of Kleinfelder and the conduct of the construction activities. With a clear understanding of the expectations, unanticipated changes and surprises can be dramatically reduced. At this time, we will review project plans and specifications to evaluate the intended scope of services and provide alternatives for consideration. Task 2: Identification of Schedule and Budget Requirements After reviewing the plans, specifications, and schedule, we can prepare a proposed scope of services and cost estimate. The construction schedule will have a large impact on the requirements and duration of our services. It is important, both from a scheduling and accounting standpoint, to have an agreed -upon schedule and budget to follow and measure, as we proceed through the construction process. These elements will help us to provide the City with progress benchmarks, both from a financial and construction viewpoint. Once our proposal is approved by the City, we will receive a Work Authorization. Task 3: Staffing and Resource Management Plan Our Project Manager/Principal Agent will personally manage City projects and work closely with our Task Order Managers, typically the individual that attended the kickoff meeting. We will hold an internal kickoff meeting with designated staff to review documents, project scope, expectations, work practices, and schedule subconsultants as needed. Mr. Hanna will be supported by our Quality Assurance Manager, Mr. Mike Dorsch, to provide proactive testing and inspection in accordance with the project needs. Kleinfelder will develop a Review customized Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Cycle Plan for each task order under this contract. A written Project Quality Plan is the key ingredient of our QMP regardless of scope or budget. Interdisciplinary For medium to large projects where observation services are required on a full-time basis, we will assign a multi -disciplined Senior Technician to reduce the need for more than one technician for multiple operations at the site. This Senior Quality Management Technician will also coordinate resources in the field. In the event that the job sequence requires more than one technician, we will provide a supplemental technician (upon City approval) who will work at the direction of our Senior Technician. Task 4: Preparation and Review of Mix Designs Based on the discussion and information gathered from the kickoff meeting with the City staff, a Kleinfelder pavement engineer will review and/or recommend and develop concrete and asphalt mix designs considering the traffic loads, subgrade modulus, and sustainability factors. A road alignment with a weak subgrade and requiring reconstruction may be a good candidate for full depth reclamation. Typically, this approach is cost effective where long runs of pavement require replacement. Recycling the existing asphalt pavement and base material and blending it into the subgrade soils reduces hauling and disposal of material. i KLE/NFELOER Mm2m�za aoiv Kleinfelder 17
