A five -member evaluation panel comprised of Public Works Agency staff reviewed and ranked all of the proposals. Three proposals were deemed nonresponsive and the remaining 19 qualifying submittals were ranked based on experience, qualifications, project understanding, as well as the overall proposed services. The table below summarizes the results of the top six proposals: Rank Firm Score 1 Nino & Moore 92.9 2 RMA Group 90.8 3 SCST 90.6 4 Diaz Yourman 88.2 5 Koury 88.0 6 Terracon 87.2 Submittals from the following firms were also received: Leighton, Earth Mechanics, Geo- Advantec, AESCO, Albus Keef and Associates, Petra, MTGL, Willdan, Converse Consultants, PSI, ES Engineering, Geotek, and Hamilton. These proposals were ranked and are on file. Based on the proposal evaluations and ranking, staff recommends that the top 3 firms — Ninyo & Moore, RMA Group, and SCST — be retained to provide on-call geotechnical engineering services (Exhibits 2, 3, and 4). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There are no environmental impacts associated with this action. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy G (develop and implement the City's Capital Improvement Program in coordination with the Community Investment and Deferred Maintenance Plans). FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact at this time. Prior to utilizing any of these on-call services, Public Works staff must receive Finance & Management Services Agency approval of funding and accounts to ensure that funds are available under the authorization and aggregate limit of these agreements. Upon successful completion of this fiscal review, a corresponding Notice to Proceed containing specific scope and maximum expenditure for the task order will be issued to a firm. Funding for these services is available in prior year and the current FY 2018-19 approved CIP budgets, and will be budgeted in future CIPS. 25B-2 Agreements for Geotechnical Engineering Services November 20, 2018 Page 3 APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: Fuad S.

Understanding of Need Ninyo & Moore will utilize the project management style and approach that we have successful- ly developed for past and current on-call contracts with public agencies. Throughout the contract duration, Mr. Garreth Saiki, our proposed Project Manager and single point of contact for the City, will meet with the representative(s) of the City to discuss task order assignments, project concerns, permits required, anticipated services required for those projects and close- out requirements. Upon notification of a task order request, we will commence our services. Our approach to our geotechnical, materials testing and inspection services is described in the following flow chart. 1. Develop Scope of Work — The initial step in our approach is to meet with the City Project manager in order to get clear understanding of the project and our expected services. For the geotechnical evaluation, we will develop a detailed scope of work, including the number and type of subsurface explorations, laboratory test, as well as the type of analyses. For the materials testing and inspection services, we will review the approved plans and specifi- cations and will develop a detailed scope of services indicating anticipated man-hours by discipline for the required materials testing and inspection services. We will submit this plan to the City Project Manager for approval and will provide monthly updates to the City Project Manager as construction progresses. 2. Project Personnel Utilization — Upon approval of our scope of work, we will assign the appro- priately certified personnel to the project based on the specific needs of the project. Our large pool of licensed professional geotechnical engi- neers, civil engineers, and certified engineering geologists will be utilized for our geotechnical investigation. Our multiple -certified certified special deputy inspectors and our certified field and laboratory technicians will be readily avail- able for assignment during construction. Our project management approach and in-house computerized data base ensure that we have the appropriately certified personnel assigned during construction. We will also review the contractor's schedule in order to plan accord- ingly and anticipate the future inspections and testing requests. 3. Sampling Protocol and Document Control — We 'll xt t b1' h th 1' WDPOvelo,p Swpeof Work Based on ApSecifiations • Project Personnel Utilization • Develop Sampling Protocols & Documentation Controls hu• Establish Communication lines • Utilize Established Project: Con Vols •Perform Field Inspection & laboratory Testing • QuaIIN Aaau2nce Review • Submit Written Reports • Project closeout wl ne es a Is a samp ing protocols required for the project, based on the project specifications and the requirements of the Building Code, Greenbook, and other governing specifications. Our document control sys- tem provides unique identification of daily reports and laboratory conformance testing for each project assignment. These systems are a part of our Quality Systems Program and will be utilized for each task order assignment. 4. Establish Communication Lines — The next step in our approach is to establish the com- munication lines for the project, including the authorized City representative who will be requesting our services. We will also request the approved distribution list for our inspec- tion reports, daily field reports, and laboratory conformance test results. On past projects, Agency Project Managers have coordinated our services in the field and distributed our re- ports. On other past projects, we were scheduled by on-site City Inspectors and distributed our reports to the approved distribution list. We will provide our services to meet the City's needs. Often we will attend pre -construction meetings with the contractor and obtain from Ninyo & Moore I Geotechnical Engineering Services I Prop25181146,cJuly 12, 2018 the City the approved distribution list for our materials testing and inspection reports as well as our laboratory conformance testing results. We will also provide the county representa- tives with our personnel's Smart Phone mobile telephone numbers and e-mail addresses for communication during the project. We will also establish the communication lines between the City Project Manager, City Inspector, and the contractors' and sub -contractors' repre- sentatives. 5. Utilize Our Project Controls — Ninyo & Moore utilizes an internal project control system that includes budget, schedule, and document review and control. Our project manager will utilize our in-house system to keep the City Project Manager informed about the status of our services during our materials testing and inspection services during construction. We include monthly progress reports indicating the amount billed to date along with a compari- son to the overall task order budget and the overall construction schedule. Our quality control includes review of our laboratory conformance test results by a California licensed engineer and geotechnical analysis review by a California licensed Geotechnical Engineer. 6. Perform Field and Laboratory Testing — When construction commences, we will provide the necessary personnel and equipment to inspect and test the construction materials quali- ty and contractor's construction methods in order to document conformance to the project plans and specifications. We will also sample the construction materials as required and perform laboratory conformance tests as specified. The results of our inspections and tests will be forwarded to the City representatives at the end of each working day. Immediate no- tification will be provided via phone, e-mail, and/or fax if we find non-conformance in materials or workmanship. Our local laboratory facilities has the capability to perform 100 percent of the soils and materials laboratory work for this contract. They are certified in compliance with ASTM E-329 and are approved/accredited by the City of Los Angeles, Divi- sion of the State Architect (DSA), Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Caltrans, and the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL). 7. Quality Assurance Review — We understand the importance of reliability of our inspections and test results. Therefore, we have a Quality Assurance Plan in place that provides written procedures for our services. Our Quality Assurance Plan is overseen by a California li- censed Quality Engineer and include review of our training procedures, as well as participation in third party review and inspection of our facilities. All of our laboratory con- formance tests are reviewed by a California licensed engineer prior to submittal. 8. Reports — Written reports are required for project documentation. We will submit our writ- ten reports, including both our geotechnical investigation report and our written reports during construction, as established in the communications structure for the project that was determined during the project initiation stage. Passing tests and inspections will be filed in accordance with the document control system. Non -conforming reports will be maintained in a non-conformance log that will be maintained by our office. Non-conformance areas will need to be remedied in accordance with the project requirements. When non -conforming materials or workmanship are remedied, we will document the acceptance in the non- conformance log for project close-out purposes. 9. Project Close -Out — The final step in our approach is the closing out of the project and providing the project documentation, as it relates to materials testing and inspection, to the City.

The scope of work description will include any office or research work performed prior to the project such as reviewing maps or prior reports. It will also include, where applicable, written descriptions of our proposed field work, laboratory testing program, and report preparation. Cost estimates will be prepared using the fees and rates laid out in our master agreement contract. REVIEW, RESEARCH & RECONNAISSANCE Work will commence after a task order has been accepted and RMA Group has been given a notice to proceed. Our first steps in the beginning of the project will typically be office research and site reconnaissance. In the office, our professional staff will review any geologic or geotechnical maps relevant to the project area and will review previous geotechnical investigation or design reports that pertain to the project site. A site reconnaissance will be conducted to determine optimal locations where we will take samples, dig trenches, drill borings, or conduct any other work. During site 7, RMA Group EveryPmjntMatterslw ..rmacampanies.cam STATEMENT OF IONS reconnaissance, we can mark locations using stakes or spray paint so that they can be easily identified. UTILITY LOCATION & COORDINATION The next steps in a geotechnical project involve utility location and coordination with the City and other involved parties. In accordance with the law, we will notify Underground Service Alert (USA) once we have marked our field exploration locations and inform them that we plan to dig. They will then take the next two business days to notify all companies or agencies with utilities in the area to mark those utilities on the project site. This will need to be coordinated with the City and anyone who might own or manage the site so that the utility locators have access. Some project sites may have utilities or underground tanks that USA will not know about. Depending on the type of property, RMA Group may decide to employ a private utility locator to use ground penetrating radar and other tools to locate utilities. This extra measure can act as a safeguard against drilling through existing utilities, which can result in tens of thousands of dollars in damages. After the utilities have been marked and it is confirmed that there are no utilities at the locations where we plan to excavate or bore, RMA Group will coordinate with all involved parties to schedule a date to perform the field exploration. We will then contact local drilling, excavating, or coring companies and schedule them for the work. Depending on the requirements of the project, we may need to schedule additional staff members or technicians to be on site during the exploration as well. FIELD EXPLORATION When everyone involved in the fieldwork meets on the project site, we hold a brief safety meeting to go over potential hazards and to make sure everyone has the appropriate personal protective equipment. Our investigations will typically consist of drilling or excavating as deep as necessary and taking appropriate soil samples and pavement core samples. When excavating or trenching, we will only be able to take disturbed or bulk soil samples. If drilling using a hollow -stem continuous flight auger, we can take bulk samples, SPT samples, and undisturbed ring samples. The types and quantities of samples we obtain will be dependent on the number of different soils encountered and on our proposed laboratory testing program. After field exploration is complete, the openings are typically CITY OF SgtJ'j tr llflj@§ WORKS GEOTECHNICAL ENGINZEEZRRI $G SEER VIS ESP ( Page 19 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS backfilled with cuttings and, if applicable, patched with WORK PLANS asphalt or rapid setting concrete. MATERIALS TESTING AND INSPECTION Once all samples are returned to the laboratory and the field work is complete, we assign a laboratory testing program based on our task order proposal. The testing typically includes tube densities and moistures, gradations, maximum densities, plasticity index, sand equivalents, and possibly more advanced testing such as direct shears, R -values, or California Bearing Ratios. Tests are logged into our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), assigned to certified laboratory technicians and, once complete, given to our professional staff for evaluation and interpretation. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING ANALYSIS & REPORTS The final phase of our geotechnical engineering work involves analysis, calculations, and recommendations from our professional staff in the form of a final report. The results of the office research, field exploration, and laboratory testing program are all compiled and reviewed by our geologists and engineers. The end - result is a written report containing our approach and methodology, our findings, and our recommendations developed in accordance to generally accepted engineering and geologic principles and practices. Our reports will typically be delivered to the City for an initial review, and if they have comments then there may be several iterations of draft reports until we arrive at a final report that is acceptable to the City. We then distribute electronic copies and hard, wet -signed, and stamped copies to the City. Written reports will be prepared presenting the results of the office research, field exploration, laboratory testing and engineering analysis. They will include information on the nature, distribution and strength of the existing soils, and recommendations for grading procedures and design criteria for corrective measures, when necessary. Reports will also include a description of the geology of the site and conclusions and recommendations regarding the effect of geologic conditions on the proposed construction. Our professional staff has the capabilities to undertake appropriate methods to mitigate adverse geotechnical conditions including recommendations for seismic design, remedial grading and foundation design. Specific foundation design recommendations have included geotechnical parameters for design of spread footings, continuous footings, piles, mat foundations, and post -tension slabs. SERVICES Materials testing and inspection is processed through groundwork that is laid out before your project ever begins. When RMA Group receives a task order request from the City to provide materials testing and inspection services for a specific project, we begin strategizing and laying out an approach that will fit that particular project. Our team will review project plans, specifications, estimates, and relevant codes and standards to familiarize ourselves with the project demands. ESTABLISHING WORK SCOPES & COST ESTIMATES Each project will require an individual task order proposal for testing and inspection services to be created by the project manager. This proposal will consist of a scope of work, summary of deliverables, and a cost estimate or not -to -exceed amount. Our scope of work may vary widely from projectto project. Somejobs may only consist of field testing of soils with some supporting laboratory testing for a few weeks, while others may consist of inspection, field, and laboratory testing of a wide variety of materials over the course of months or years. Our scope of work will include summaries for all types of work we expect to encounter on the project and what frequencies we anticipate to conduct our services. We will use our extensive experience to produce a cost estimate that accurately reflects the needs of the project. Our team thoroughly reviews project plans and specifications to identify everything that we will need to inspect or test. A more thorough review will allow for a cost proposal that is more accurate and is not missing inspection and test requirements, meaning there will be less likelihood of having change orders that could cause delays in the work. Our cost estimate will specify prices for each scope of work and all of the rates used in preparation of the estimate will be taken directly from the master agreement contract between RMA Group and the City of Santa Ana. The cost estimate breakdown will include a price for each item of work that will be directly entered into our project management software so we can track each line item as the project progresses. This allows us to proactively address potential budget overruns before they actually happen. Page 20I IDITY LY 102E SANTA 20 8 I 18-1052-P AIPUBLIC WORKS GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES 25B-110 RMA Group Every Project Matters Iw ..rmacompanies.com IMPLEMENTING STAFF After the City has reviewed and approved the task order proposal, we will set the contract up in our project management software as a new project and key team members will be notified. The next step is to wait until inspection and testing requests are received from the City. The City will communicate inspection and testing requests directly to our project manager and field director. The RMA Group team will review the request and decide which inspector or technician is best suited for the work and for the project, and whose personality will be most likely to fit in with other project team members. RMA Group employs more than 160 certified technicians and inspectors locally and more than 200 overall who hold licenses and certifications to perform inspection and materials testing. In the event that the City is even remotely unsatisfied with the performance or behavior of an RMA team member in the office, field, or laboratory, that team member will be immediately removed from further work on City projects and we will have a discussion with the City on who will be best suited to replace the individual and how we can identify the specific problem and implement practices to avoid similar problems in the future. With the large size of our staff, there will be no delay in finding replacements for any personnel who are removed from City projects. The individual, or multiple individuals if necessary, assigned to the projects will be entered by our dispatching team into the field schedule of our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) software. The software will automatically send a pre -formatted daily inspection report to the email address of the scheduled personnel, who are also notified by phone call of their reporting instructions. Typically, the personnel will also communicate with the project manager to review project -specific requirements and expectations. RMA Group constantly invests in educating our inspectors and technicians to be fully certified in many of the different phases of construction. This provides a continuity of personnel during all phases of construction that enables them to have a broadened range of project understanding. Our special inspection services include, but not limited to, the following. Reinforced Concrete Post Tensioned Concrete Structural Masonry Wood and Timber Construction RMA Group EvesyPmject MaBersIw .rmacompames.cam STATEMENT OF JALIFICATIONS • Seismic Retrofit Inspections • Soil Compaction • Asphaltic Concrete Shotcrete • Structural Steel, Welding Inspection & Testing • Materials Testing • Shop Fabrication QC Audits (Source) • Fireproofing & Coatings • High Strength Bolting • Roofing Inspection • Torque & Pull Testing • Floor Flatness Testing • Floor Level Survey • Glu -Laminated Inspections • Shear Wall Nailing & Bolting Inspections Services shall be performed as requested by the City and shall conform to the contract documents, The City of Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), professional Standards established by the City, and or federal, state and local guidelines established in the project. DOCUMENT CONTROL In the event that personnel are scheduled for work that was not included in the original task order proposal, our proprietary software will send an automatic email notice to the project manager and key team members. This instant notification allows for rapid communication between RMA Group and the City to guarantee that any work outside the original scope will be agreed upon before it happens. It is a proactive approach to project management that allows us to discuss and resolve extra work or change order issues before they become a problem. RMA Group field personnel will arrive on site with their daily report, certifications, equipment and safety gear, and instructions from the project team. Field personnel work will vary drastically depending on the type of project and which elements are being inspected or tested, but they will always fill out their daily report after the work is complete and have it signed by an authorized representative on site. This allows any discrepancies in time worked or issues encountered on site to be resolved on the project site, CITY OF SANTA APIA I QUBL J WORKS GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING Y 8 18 -1052-P S (Page 21 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS same day, rather than having to debate over them in the office weeks or months afterward. Daily reports will be distributed, where applicable, to on site supervisors or representatives, to a field file, and to the RMAGroup office. RMAGroup office personnel scan the daily report, which has a unique report identification number and a barcode, into our proprietary software where it can be instantaneously recalled by any team members, any time. If the request was for inspection, our inspector will show up on site, inspect the work, complete his daily report and have it signed, and leave. If the request was for materials testing, our technician will do the same except that he will perform field tests using calibrated testing equipment for which he or she is certified. Testing could be performed on soils, concrete, asphalt, steel, or a multitude of other construction materials. SAMPLING AND TESTING OF MATERIALS Field testing technicians will also typically need to perform sampling, whether it be bags of soil, cylinders of concrete, or anything else the specifications and codes require. Sampling frequencies and sample quantities will be in accordance with relevant specifications, but RMA Group can always sample additional material at the request of the City. Construction material sampling will be performed on the project site or at the separate production facility, where applicable, in accordance with project specifications, codes, and standardized test methods. RMA Group takes great care in sampling, delivering, and storing samples before they are tested, as even slight disturbances to a sample can ultimately cause variations in test results. Some materials, such as soil, can be transported to our laboratory immediately after sampling. Other materials, such as concrete, must remain on site for designated amounts of time before they can be handled and transported. Each sample will be identified using a sample tag or a sampling sheet. These identification forms include information about the sample such as sampling location, stationing, date, and testing instructions. When samples are delivered to RMA Group laboratories, they are placed in the receiving area and the technician will hand -write relevant sample information on a log -in sheet in our laboratory administration office to create a chain of custody. Our administrators will then enter information from the sampling sheets into our LIMS software, which will generate a printed sample tag sticker with a unique identification number and barcode. This tag is placed directly on the sample. The administrators also assign the correct tests based on the sampling sheets and will communicate sample status and special requirements with the project management team. Laboratory tests are assigned to laboratory technicians who hold valid certifications for the particular test method being performed. They receive test sheets with identification numbers and barcodes that correlate with the sample, and begin their testing. Our laboratory director, supervisors, and equipment management team are responsible for maintaining a comprehensive log of all laboratory equipment. This log allows our staff to track calibration requirements of every single piece of laboratory equipment, which ultimately means that we will never test samples using equipment that is past its due date for calibration. Equipment is marked with calibration stickers that regular employees do not have access to. Additionally, our equipment management team and laboratory supervisors regularly perform visual checks on our equipment to look for signs of fatigue that could lead to erroneous test results. Upon test completion, the raw laboratory test result sheet will be reviewed by laboratory supervisors and logged out of our LIMS system. Once logged out, it can be recalled instantaneously in LIMS by RMA Group project team members at any time. Logged out tests will also be automatically entered into our project management software to appear on the next invoice to the City. The project manager is notified when test results are complete, and our professional staff delivers a formal report of the results to the project manager for review. Once approved by the project manager, laboratory test reports are submitted to the City. �Zi111x�ry�iby�il4� Upon project completion, the City may need closeout documents or testing professional staff will be able to recall all daily inspection reports and all laboratory test results using our LIMS software. This allows for easy access to information and inspection summaries. Our testing and inspection summaries for the entire project can be put together efficiently. If there are any outstanding issues as the project comes to a close, RMA Group staff will be able to very quickly reproduce any relevant reports or laboratory test results using LIMS, reducing delays that otherwise might result from having to track down physical files.

Since our daily operations are customer service focused, we have an excellent reputation for responding to urgent and last minute City requests. All involved in a construction process would prefer to follow a set schedule of work; however, anybody who has been involved in a construction process knows that rarely does work progresses in strict accordance to the schedule. Therefore, we fully expect that urgent or last minute requests from the City will occur and are prepared to accommodate them. All of our staff, from the Principal -in -Charge through our Dispatcher and the field staff, are fully dedicated to accommodating such requests to eliminate any negative potential impacts to the project schedule or cost. Additionally, our employees are provided company vehicles so travel is never an issue. Even out of state inspections may be performed easily by our staff or one of our associates located at the out-of-state locations. PROJECT MANAGEMENT Our assigned Project Manager, Jason Bamachea, will be responsible for the establishment of a project budget, scope of work, and for identifying the required deliverables and the manner and time frames in which the deliverables are expected by the City's Project Manager. He will utilize RMA Group's unique set of project controls to establish and track the project deliverables and ensure quality in all aspects of RMA's work on the project. When the City assigns a project to RMA, the Project Manager will be the initial point of contact. He will discuss the project and scope of work required with the City's Project Manager to ensure that the appropriate level of work will be performed.

Many times these other consultants must wait for geotechnical data to begin design work, lengthening the total time required to complete the design. To minimize these delays and to get projects moving, RMA Group has developed a rapid response approach for initial design studies for new public buildings. Our approach has been successfully implemented on dozens of sites to minimize the time required to deliver the geotechnical design report and to provide your design team immediate information so that they can begin working toward designs as soon as possible. Our approach provides several early interim reports that contain the critical data that your design team needs to get started on their work and is phased to project that data as fast as possible. We will issue the following interim reports to your project team: • Seismic Design Parameters - This report is issued within 48 hours of the Notice to Proceed and contains all of the required technical data to commence design work. • Seismic Hazards - This report is issued within 48 hours after the completion of the site exploration and will present conclusions and recommendations relative to seismic hazards, including liquefaction. • Preliminary Foundation System - This report will be prepared within five days of site exploration and will detail our recommendations for foundation systems to allow commencement of the foundation design. Our final report will be issued within three weeks of the Notice to Proceed and will contain all of the data and information presented in the interim reports as well as a completed California Geologic Survey checklist identifying by page number and paragraph where each of the Title 24 checklist items reviewed by the CGS is contained within our report. This approach ensures that your design team receives the information it needs in the fastest practical time frames and that the completed report is reviewed and approved by the CGS to avoid any project delays.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS d. Understanding of Need SCST will take complete responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any submitted information. Deliverables will include geotechnical reports, mix design review reports, close-out/final reports, test results, field daily reports, and non-compliance logs. Geotechnical considerations affecting proposed developments throughout the city will be the presence of liquefiable soils and shallow groundwater. Liquefaction is a process in which soil grains in a saturated deposit lose contact after the occurrence of earthquakes or other sources of ground shaking. The soil deposit temporarily behaves as a viscous fluid; pore pressures rise, and the strength of the deposit is greatly diminished. Based on our review of the California Geologic Survey's available seismic hazards maps, a large portion of the city is in a liquefaction potential zone. In addition, shallow groundwater should be expected throughout the city. Any assumptions and/or exclusions used in preparation of a scope of work and associated fee estimated will be included with the proposal for each requested TO or project. SCST has a long established Quality Assurance Program (QAP) in place to ensure our team members perform work accurately and in conformance with all project specific codes, requirements,and standards. As partofSCST's QAP procedures, an SCST professionally licensed engineer is responsible for reviewing all reports prior to submission. This includes field testing, analyses, subcontractor's work products, and the transmittal of laboratory test results. Our experienced technical reviewer staff members review data collection, calculations, analysis, interpretation, and reporting. Our project manager reviews cost control, conformance with task expectations, and documentation for contractual obligations. SCST maintains a system of checks and balances to ensure our projects are of the highest quality. SCST's laboratory participates in the AMRL and CCRL proficiency -sampling program to confirm our team provides accurate reporting of laboratory tests. SCST is recognized for high quality test results. Careful chain of custody is managed by Agile Frameworks MetaField® V2.6 software. Samples are logged and assigned testing electronically from the field at the time of sampling, delivered to SCST's laboratory and are immediately scheduled for testing at required dates by the appropriate testing methods. Test results are managed and forwarded also using Agile Frameworks MetaField® V2.6 to SCST's Project Manager for review and distribution. Should testing result in non-compliance, the designated District representative is notified immediately and a log of non-conformance is automatically tracked per project using the MetaField® V2.6 system. SCST's principals and project managers are committed to our Quality Assurance Program (QAP). They are not only responsible, but take pride in the quality of our services and overall compliance, accuracy, and thoroughness of our reporting methods. SCST is structured to provide QA oversight on a continuing basis and to monitor performance and adjust or modify resources when necessary to improve a program or project. To provide QA oversight on a continuing basis, we empower staff assigned specifically to monitor quality and safety. We hold regular meetings with our technical staff to maintain their familiarity with QA/QC standards. Our Feld supervisors visit with our field inspectors and technicians on-site on a regular basis to check and confirm quality procedures. SCST continues to maintain and keep our QAP current, and will do so throughout the duration of this contract.

SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SCHEDULE Communication plays a major role in the success of a project. We understand how various project delivery methods influence project collaboration and interaction. SCST is in daily communication with each of our project teams. We know that a lack of or insufficient communication between team members can lead to costly mistakes and we are committed to help the City avoid these issues. We are dedicated to transparency and cooperation with all stakeholders, including architects, designers, engineers, construction managers, contractors, and other project team members to successfully deliver our services with a continuous focus on quality, cost, and schedule. At SCST, we apply time -tested methods to assure the high quality, dependable services our clients have come to expect. Because every project is different, we will work with the City and project team to understand the project objectives and to tailor the best approach to successfully complete each specific project. As demonstrated by our project experience and references listed in this submittal, we have the experience, staff, systems, and safeguards in place to deliver services for this contract with diligence and in a cost-effective manner to serve the best interests of the City. In addition, we have all the proper equipment necessary to perform the required services. Selecting the appropriate inspector or technician for a project is one of SCST's highest priorities. SCST will provide the City with full-time, multi -carded inspectors or technicians whenever possible, enabling us to maximize staff utilization and avoid duplication. Our technicians and inspectors will be available within 24 hours of a request from the City. Once a request is made by the City, Jeanine Watson, SCST's dispatcher, schedules field staff via Agile Frameworks MetaField® V2.6 software, which allows for efficient scheduling and managing of field and laboratory service. When an inspector or technician is scheduled, an email alert is sent from MetaField to the individual with the date of service, time of arrival, project address, on-site contact person and their phone number, the assigned inspection or testing to be performed, and additional notes. The daily schedule is available to all SCST personnel, enabling the field staff to view their project schedules, and enabling our project management team to ensure that we are effectively providing the correct staff members to perform the requested services. Both our C: project manager and dispatcher will be available to the City 24 hours a day and will be able to resolve any questions or problems that arise during a project. SCST can utilize the same project team that performed engineering work, aiding in the capacity to make quick and effective decisions in the field relating to the original geotechnical engineering assumptions. Our inspectors and technicians are well versed in the implementation of construction inspection and testing requirements, and are experienced with a wide variety of materials used in construction. Once a project begins, it is tracked using Ajera, our internal accounting software, giving us paperless system capacities. The software maintains real-time accounting of resources used on the project and displays this graphically to each project manager's desktop. The project management component of the software gives our project manager the ability to review scheduling and budgeting at any time, expediting communication between our project manager and the City, without the need for additional analysis. Our practice is to closely monitor the frequency of your dispatch and diligently manage the budget on all our projects to keep the City alerted of any anticipated budgeting issues. Once we have reached 70% of the individual line -item budget authorizations, we will schedule a meeting with the City and any other designated representatives to compare the remaining work with the construction schedule, and provide you with a cost -to -complete in an effort to avoid additional authorizations. We will not exceed the authorized budget without specific orders from you or your City of Santa Ana RFP No. 18-045, Geotechnical Engineering Services f� _ 1 79 SCST Proposal No. 18-0308 ` T 2. SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SCHEDULE authorized representative. The success of this program comes from cost control measures that provide you with early accounting and foresight into the progress of our services. SCST's geotechnical philosophy is reinforced by our seasoned staff who have a wide range of expertise with different types of projects. The philosophy focuses on providing creative and thoughtful recommendations that best support and protect the City. Our knowledge includes the different types of soil, formational materials and rocks, and their engineering characteristics that can be expected within the City, enabling us to provide timely responses to design and construction issues. Our typical approach to a City TO/project consists of: Review of Background Documents: SCST will review available relevant geologic and geotechnical engineering records, drawings, data, and other information as it pertains to the project site. This review and research process will aid in planning more efficient geotechnical investigations, and can lead to a reduction in the number of borings, test pits, or other types of subsurface exploration techniques. Field Exploration: SCST will prepare a workplan for submittal to the City and the project team prior to the start of field exploration work. In addition to the establishment of important working relationships between project team members, this will help identify specific site accessibility requirements or challenges on-site, to minimize the potential for encountering subsurface structures and utilities. Upon satisfactory clearance of exploration locations, the subsurface/geotechnical investigation will be performed under the supervision and direction of one of our state of California licensed engineers or engineering geologists, who will remain in close contact with the field team to ensure a smooth execution of the field exploration program. The field program may include coring pavements, coring rock and soil, drilling and sampling borings or backhoe pits, setting piezometers, collecting seismic refraction data, mapping cut slopes, and field testing for resistivity or infiltration characteristics. Geotechnical Laboratory Testing and Engineering Analyses: Our team's project engineer will develop a geotechnical engineering laboratory test program that will be customized for each project based on project needs, budget, and the subsurface conditions encountered during the field exploration program. The engineering analyses will be performed based upon the specific needs of the project as established during the development of the specific scope of services for the project. Preparation and Submittal of the Deliverables: SCST will present the City with a report that has been thoroughly reviewed and checked for quality, consistency, and accuracy by our project manager. Reports will include recommendations for corrective actions, design recommendations for repairs, and recommendations for development of design changes. With the deliverables, we will provide copies of design calculations, including documentation of computer generated calculations and final reports, where applicable. The typical turn around time for design deliverables is five weeks. A draft version of the report can be submitted for review and comment by the City so that recommendations can be fine- tuned if necessary. Our experience with municipal agencies has shown us the importance of this step as communication with the project team is streamlined.

SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SCHEDULE When an on-call engagement is requested for a project in SCST's project manager will prepare a comprehensive, detailed scope of services, and a cost estimate/budget for the project based on the project schedule, and the plans and specifications. We will work with the City to develop realistic and responsible solutions for each specific project's needs. In order to conform to a project budget, SCST's project manager provides individuals working on a specific task with the expected time allotted for that task. By establishing a budget and communicating the project expectations for our services at the beginning of a project to all individuals involved, SCST can complete tasks efficiently and maintain the estimated project budget. Additionally, our professional staff is involved with the project fieldwork and report preparation, providing continuity and efficiency during a project. Our specific approach to services consists of: Assigning and Scheduling of Staff: Selecting the appropriate inspector or technician for a project is one of SCST's highest priorities. As stated above, SCST will provide City with multi -carded inspectors or technicians whenever possible. We utilize Agile Frameworks MetaField® V2.6 software for efficient scheduling and managing of field, laboratory, and office personnel. The daily schedule is available to all personnel, enabling us to maximize staff utilization and avoid duplication. Our technicians and inspectors will be available within 24 hours of a request from City. Testing, Field Work, and Deliverables/Reporting: The assigned inspector or technician will report to the appropriate on-site contact and sign -in if necessary. They will meetwith the City's designated representative to review the approved plans and specifications, and to assure that these documents are clearly understood and the City's needs are being fully addressed. The inspector or technician will perform the required inspection and/or testing service in accordance with the approved project drawings and specifications. Any required samples will be procured, labeled, electronically logged, and scheduled for pickup. Our field representative will document findings or test results with a report of their daily activities and the status of compliance with project requirements, and present the report or results to the City's designated representative for a signature. The signing representative, SCST's project manager and any pertinent project team members will then automatically receivean email copy of the report or results. Notification of any non-compliant work will be noted and clearly reported to the City's designated representative. SCST also utilizes Agile Frameworks MetaField® V2.6 for our field reporting and testing, which allows us to upload daily reports and testing results to a central database from the field via cell phone where they are reviewed by the project manager. Information is then digitally signed and forwarded to the client, or accessed by the client via a customer facing portal via the cloud. Field inspection reports are typically available the same day. Samples are delivered to SCST's laboratory and are scheduled for testing at required dates by the appropriate testing methods. Test results are forwarded using Agile Frameworks MetaField(D V2.6 to SCST's project manager for review and distribution. Should testing result in non-compliance, the designated City representative is notified immediately and a log of non-conformance is automatically tracked per project using the MetaField® V2.6 system. Final Report/Deliverables/Closeout: As the construction contract enters the completion phase, SCST's team will work with the City to develop a functional closeout plan. We will use our experience to identify remaining inspection requirements, and submit final reports in a timely manner. In order to expedite the final reports, our field daily reports and laboratory test results are automatically filed and reviewed throughout the duration of the project. Typically, SCST can prepare these reports within three days of the completion of our work, depending on the size and scope of the project. Daily reports and all laboratory test results are compiled into a Final Construction Quality Assurance report that displays all field inspection reports, batch plant inspection reports, laboratory testing reports, and a summary of the field density tests performed on the project. The final report can include any information requested by the City, such as inspector's names, certifications, or laboratory certifications.

SCST has a long established Quality Assurance Program (QAP) in place to ensure our team members perform work accurately and in conformance with all project specific codes, requirements,and standards. As part of SCST's QAP procedures, an SCST professionally licensed engineer is responsible for reviewing all reports prior to submission. This includes field testing, analyses, subcontractor's work products, and the transmittal of laboratory test results. Our experienced technical reviewer staff members review data collection, calculations, analysis, interpretation, and reporting. Our project manager reviews cost control, conformance with task expectations, and documentation for contractual obligations. SCST maintains a system of checks and balances to ensure our projects are of the highest quality. SCST's laboratory participates in the AMRL and CCRL proficiency -sampling program to confirm our team provides accurate reporting of laboratory tests. SCST is recognized for high quality test results. Careful chain of custody is managed by Agile Frameworks MetaField® V2.6 software. Samples are logged and assigned testing electronically from the field at the time of sampling, delivered to SCST's laboratory and are immediately scheduled for testing at required dates by the appropriate testing methods. Test results are managed and forwarded also using Agile Frameworks MetaField® V2.6 to SCST's Project Manager for review and distribution. Should testing result in non-compliance, the designated District representative is notified immediately and a log of non-conformance is automatically tracked per project using the MetaField® V2.6 system. SCST's principals and project managers are committed to our Quality Assurance Program (QAP). They are not only responsible, but take pride in the quality of our services and overall compliance, accuracy, and thoroughness of our reporting methods. SCST's corporate structure assigns appropriate levels of responsibility for fulfilling quality assessment roles. These roles and responsibilities are distributed within the project management activities and the QA group. SCST is structured to provide QA oversight on a continuing basis and to monitor performance and adjust or modify resources when necessary to improve a program or project. To provide QA oversight on a continuing basis, we empower staff assigned specifically to monitor quality and safety. We hold regular meetings with ourtechnical staff to maintain their familiarity with QA/QC standards. Our field supervisors visit with our field inspectors and technicians on-site on a regular basis to check and confirm quality procedures. SCST continues to maintain and keep our QAP current, and will do so throughout the duration of this contract. PR(-),IFCT INV(-)iCIN(- SCST will submit invoices monthly or at any other interval requested by the City. Invoices can be sorted by agency specific Task and Project Numbers, and we can also provide any additional level of detail regarding billing and invoicing to meet the City's needs, including the description of the work completed, a summary of any outstanding issues, or any problem areas and/or important issues that could affect project progress or costs.
