GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES WORK PLAN As project requirements are established, the City will authorize individual project/task order. In response to a request from the City, we anticipate following a work plan similar to the tasks listed below. Tasks Necessary for Completion Task 1: Meetings with the City of Santa Ana Project Manager Task 2: Data Review / Health and Safety Plan / Utility Clearance Task 3: Field Exploration Task 4: Laboratory Testing Task 5: Engineering Analysis and Report Y �-"'- Task 6: Review of Plans and Specifications To execute efficiently on each project, we will: • Commit our key managerial and technical team members to this contract. • Select appropriate staff from our extensive, qualified resource pool. • Appropriately leverage our staff to provide value so that work is performed by the most cost- effective and responsible professional level. • Work closely to integrate our staff with City staff to create one team, without barriers, focused on meeting the City's project objectives. Deliverables The deliverables presented to the City will be prepared by Kleinfelder staff, and the project manager is responsible for their organization and delivery. Based on the tasks presented above, the typical geotechnical engineering report prepared will include the following: • Description of the project and approved scope • Scope of Services performed • Subsurface conditions encountered and presentation of boring logs • Results of laboratory testing • Geotechnical conclusions and recommendations for design and construction of the proposed improvements • Supporting references, maps, and figures Suggestions or Special Concerns Kleinfelder strives to provide the most value to the City for services we perform. The value of the scope of work prepared, and the recommendations provided, are impacted by project information/restrictions for each proposed site. Some of the information/restrictions that may be relevant to our scope evaluation are site access restrictions, previous explorations at the site, background and condition of existing improvements, or restrictions to type of equipment during investigation or construction. When this information can be made available to Kleinfelder during the scope preparation of our proposals, we are able to provide a more accurate scope of work the first time, saving time and facilitating getting the project up and running faster and more efficiently. Providing this information to Kleinfelder during the scope preparation of our proposals is extremely beneficial to Kleinfelder and the City. Assumptions and/or Exclusions Assumptions and/or exclusions are generally specific to each site and project. Each of our proposals will include the applicable assumptions/exclusions based on the project information provided. We are diligent about inquiring with the project team about project information that affects each individual project.
