Oftentimes, GMU staff is already familiar with the general underlying conditions at a project site, and this information is used to streamline our investigation. Task 2—Field Exploration (if required) Includes surface mapping and subsurface exploration as needed to obtain geologic and engineering data pertinent to the site and the proposed project. Our exploration includes public utility clearance as required by law,and coordination with Public Works staff. In addition,any geotechnical concerns that may arise based on observations during field exploration are addressed immediately in order to keep the project on schedule and within budget. Task 3—Laboratory Testing Laboratory testing will be conducted in our AASHTO and Caltrans certified laboratory on the samples collected from the field investigation program. Depending on the subsurface conditions and project needs, laboratory test programs will vary from simple to complex. Task 4—Geotechnical Engineering Analysis Geotechnical engineering analysis is performed using the data collected and previously available data to provide geotechnical constraints,mitigation measures,and design parameters for the proposed project. Task 5—Geotechnical Engineering and Geology Report and Design Support GMU will prepare a summary report of our investigation results, including design parameters, for use by the project design team. The report will be signed by a California licensed Geotechnical Engineer and Certified Engineering Geologist. In addition,GMU will coordinate with the project team,including the civil engineer, structural engineer,and architect to provide additional design input via email or phone, as well as provide review of the project plans. This task typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to complete. April 24,2024 14 GMU Proposal P-24083 On-Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines - Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering V i•I L) Services Proposal Project Methodology—Pavement Engineering and Design For pavement evaluation projects, an outline of our typical approach is summarized below: Task 1 — Document Review, Pavement Surface Condition Assessment, and Dig Alert Coordination A document review of existing as-built drawings and previous geotechnical/pavement reports will be performed.The information gathered from this review will be considered in the analysis and development of pavement repair recommendations (i.e., existing pavement section thicknesses, date of last pavement improvement work, etc.). GMU will perform a pavement surface condition assessment to identify the type, extent, and severity levels of the pavement distresses in general accordance with ASTM D 6433. Pavement coring locations will be marked in coordination with the City, and DigAlert (Underground Service Alert) will be notified to assess potential conflict with known underground utilities prior to performing pavement corings. Task 2—Field Exploration GMU will obtain a no-fee encroachment permit from the City for the proposed field exploration. Six-inch-diameter pavement corings will be performed to a maximum depth of 4 feet below the top of the existing asphalt surface using an electric-powered core drill. Sampling and digging below the AC section will be performed using hand tools.The thickness of the existing asphalt concrete (AC) and aggregate base (AB), where encountered, will be recorded. Other information, such as presence of McAdams base rock, aggregate base type, presence of petromat fabric,and groundwater table,will be recorded as well.A bulk sample of the subgrade soil will be collected and, at select locations, drive sample will be collected at the top approximate foot or so of the subgrade to gather in-place density and moisture information. Upon completion of the sampling, the core hole will be backfilled with soil cuttings or other suitable backfill materials and capped with asphalt concrete cold patch. Traffic control will consist of single lane closures,performed in accordance with the WATCH Manual. Task 3—Laboratory Testing Laboratory testing will be conducted in our AASHTO and Caltrans-certified laboratory on the samples collected from the field investigation program. Depending on the pavement conditions, laboratory tests may include: • R-value; • Sieve No. 200 wash for soil classification; • Atterberg limits for soil classification; • Sulfate content; April 24,2024 15 GMU Proposal P-24083 On-Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines - Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering Services Proposal V, ,Y • Expansion index; • Maximum density and optimum moisture content; and • In-place moisture/density. Task 4—Deflection Testing and Analysis Non-destructive pavement deflection testing will be performed in accordance with California Test 356. Deflection testing involves applying an impact load (simulating truck traffic) and measuring the corresponding deflection response. Generally, lower deflection readings indicate a stronger pavement section whereas higher deflection measurements indicate a weaker pavement section. Deflection testing can also identify weak areas that visual surface inspection may not. The data gathered from the deflection tests will be analyzed.Measured deflection readings will be compared to"tolerable"deflections to assess structural adequacy.Variables such as in-place AC pavement thickness and design traffic index are factored into the analysis to determine the required mill-and-overlay thickness to improve structurally inadequate pavement sections to a structurally adequate condition. Moving closure traffic control, consisting of a traffic control truck and an arrow board following the deflection testing operation,typically accompanies the deflection testing vehicle. Task 5—Pavement Engineering Analysis Pavement engineering analysis will be performed in accordance with the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. Caltrans AC design methodology considers the relationship between the traffic index (TI), subgrade soil strength (through R-value testing), and the gravel factors of the various pavement layers, allowing us to estimate the required pavement thicknesses. We will utilize the TI provided by the Project Civil Engineer or the City for the requested design life. Task 6—Identification of Isolated AC Repair Locations GMU will identify isolated AC repair locations. This task involves visually assessing each street segment to identify areas that are recommended for isolated AC repairs (i.e., areas showing depressions, medium- or high-severity alligator cracking, and/or areas that recorded high deflection). The locations will be marked on a map and provided to the civil design firm in CAD format to incorporate into the street improvement plans. Task 7—Pavement Evaluation and Repair Recommendations Report One draft report and one final report will be prepared that summarizes our findings, conclusions, and recommendations. The final report will include: • Site location map; • Coring location map; • Summary of information gathered from the document review; • Select photographs of the pavement surface condition; April 24,2024 16 GMU Proposal P-24083 On-Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines - Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering G i J Services Proposal • A table summarizing coring locations and pavement coring information (asphalt concrete thickness, aggregate base thickness, subgrade soil type, etc.); • Laboratory testing results; • A pavement condition summary table along the roadway alignment; • Falling Weight Deflectometer; • Isolated AC pavement (AC patch) repair map, if part of the recommended pavement repair strategy; • Conclusions regarding potential causes of pavement deterioration; and • Pavement repair recommendations to achieve the requested design life. GMU will typically provide two (2)pavement repair recommendations to provide options for the City. GMU possesses extensive experience in developing cost-effective pavement repair alternatives, including the following: • Localized AC repairs(patches)followed by mill-and-overlay repair using conventional AC or rubberized AC pavement. • Cold in-place (CIR) or cold central plant recycled (CCPR) asphalt concrete (AC) pavement. • Cement stabilized pulverized base (CSPB) as part of the pavement structural section. • Cement-or lime-stabilized soils(CSS or LSB)for subgrade stabilization and/or as part of the pavement structural section. • Fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete (FRAC) to improve reflective cracking resistance and/or reduce required AC thickness. • Rubberized hot-mix asphalt(RHMA or ARHM overlays). • Geogrid/geotextiles to reduce required aggregate base thickness or to stabilize subgrade conditions. The procedures described in Tasks 1 through 7 and our experience in design and construction of these strategies allows us to recommend cost-effective alternative pavement repair strategies. The final report will be signed and stamped by a California registered Civil Engineer. Project Methodology — Construction Management, Geotechnical Observation and Testing, Materials Testing, and Inspection Prior to construction or paving, GMU will attend a pre-construction or pre-pave meeting with the City and Contractor where topics such as scheduling, coordination, laboratory testing requirements, expectations, contact persons, and specifications are discussed collaboratively. Pavement-related submittals, such as asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete mix designs, are reviewed and recommended for approval or resubmittal. April 24,2024 17 GMU Proposal P-24083 On-Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines - Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering V 1 1 LJ Services Proposal During construction, GMU will deploy Caltrans-certified field engineering technicians to provide quality assurance observation and testing services. In the field, technicians will perform compaction testing, as well as observations related to the materials being constructed(i.e., asphalt concrete temperatures, lift thicknesses, etc.). Our technicians will collect material samples, perform plant inspections (as needed), and verify the work performed and materials used satisfy the project's plans and specifications from a materials testing and observation standpoint. The field engineering technicians will document the results of inspection and testing services for each project. Daily inspection reports will be prepared that summarize the tests and observations. GMU has provided quality assurance observation and testing services on federally funded projects. These projects typically require testing and inspection services to be provided in accordance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and Quality Assurance Program. GMU possesses experience with these types of detailed-oriented projects and can provide these services efficiently and cost-effectively. GMU typically requires at least 24 hours' notice, preferably 48 hours when possible, when requesting a technician for field observation or testing services. Laboratory testing turnaround times vary depending on the test(s)being performed, but typically range between 1 to 2 business days for construction quality-assurance laboratory tests (maximum density,etc.). The material collected in the field or plant is returned to GMU's County of Orange, Caltrans, AMRL, and AASHTO-certified laboratory. Laboratory testing will be performed to test the various construction materials for specification compliance purposes. Typical laboratory tests performed during construction include the following. • Asphalt binder content(%AC) • Sand Equivalent • Hveem Stability(S-Value) • Wet Track Abrasion Test • Gradation(after-burn or prior to mixing) • Moisture content • Maximum-density and optimum moisture • Emulsion content content(ASTM and Caltrans) • R-value • Core density • More • Concrete Compressive Strength Project Methodology—Peer Review Services Review of Geotechnical Reports GMU has provided geotechnical report review services to Cities for decades and has a well- established system in place to ensure reviews are performed in a timely and cost-effective manner and to the current standards and Codes applicable to our industry. Given that each City typically has specific requirements within their own Municipal Code and Manuals (i.e., Grading, Street April 24,2024 18 GMU Proposal P-24083 On-Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines - Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering Services Proposal VI-1,u Design,County Hydrology Manual,etc.)that govern private development design and construction, GMU's reviewers familiarize themselves with City-specific requirements prior to reviews. In order to maintain a streamlined process and to ensure the highest quality review during the process,our review methods are a team effort. GMU's geologist and engineer typically review the submittal separately, and then meet to discuss any comments or concerns. In some cases, geotechnical submittals may only require review by our Geologist. In these cases, both time and costs can be saved. Some projects may require multiple discussions, and complex projects often require in-house discussion between geologist and engineer prior to review. Projects with complex or high-profile elements are often overseen by our President and Principal Geotechnical Engineer as a quality control measure. If necessary, questions or observations on the report or plans will be conveyed to City Staff during the review process. The typical geotechnical report review process is as follows: 1. Report submittal is received either via email, portal, or hard copy delivery. 2. Within 24 hours,the submittal is given a cursory review and is logged into our database by the Project Manager, and a deadline is assigned. a. Initial report reviews are completed within 2 weeks. b. Response reviews are completed within 1 week. 3. If any questions or concerns regarding the completeness of the submittal are noted during the cursory review,the Project Manager contacts City Staff to address these items. 4. Geotechnical review of the submittal is performed by the Reviewing Geologist, who prepares a draft review comment sheet. 5. Geotechnical review of the submittal and the draft comment sheet is performed by the Reviewing Geotechnical Engineer. 6. The review is returned to the Project Manager for any additional review. The review is then finalized. 7. Note: Currently,the City of Chino Hills' procedure for geotechnical reviews is that GMU distributes the review directly to the applicant and the geotechnical consultant. This is typically done via email. Deliverable: A geotechnical review sheet with all pertinent data (including the TDA or permit number for City tracking), as well as our unique fee sheet for the City's internal use in tracking costs in real time. Review of Grading and Foundation Plans Our approach and procedure for review of grading and foundation plans is similar to review of geotechnical reports. The task-by-task process typically entails: 1. Plan submittal is received either via email, portal, or hard copy delivery. 2. Within 24 hours,the submittal is given a cursory review and is logged into our database by the Project Manager, and a deadline is assigned. April 24,2024 19 GMU Proposal P-24083 On-Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines - Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering GUI Services Proposal GNU a. Initial plan reviews are completed within 2 weeks. b. Response reviews are completed within 1 week. 3. If any questions or concerns regarding the completeness of the submittal are noted during the cursory review,the Project Manager contacts City Staff to address these items. 4. Review of the submittal is performed by the Reviewing Engineer, and comments or redlines are prepared. 5. The review is returned to the Project Manager for any additional review. The review is then finalized and distributed. Deliverable: If the plan review is concurrent with a geotechnical review,the plan review comments will be included in the geotechnical review sheet described above. If the plan review is a separate plan check, comments and redlines will be prepared separately for distribution. Preparation of Review Sheets and Billing Depending on the needs of the city GMU is providing review services for, our process for preparing review sheets varies. In all cases, GMU prepares a formal review sheet containing all pertinent information for the applicant, applicant's team, and City Staff. Review comments are concise and as clear as possible. If needed, GMU is open to phone, virtual,or in-person meetings with the applicant's team, if needed, to complete the review process. Once the review sheet is finalized,we may either send it to Staff for distribution,email it directly to the applicant and team, or upload the review sheet to the City's permitting portal. GMU has developed a unique method for billing of reviews. When the review sheet is distributed, GMU also provides,to City Staff only,a"fee sheet"which lists the fees associated with the review, so that Staff may track costs in real time against the applicant's deposit. This method assists Staff in keeping deposits replenished and does not result in a delay in collecting adequate fees prior to permit issuance or closure. Attend/Coordinate Meetings with Planning and Building and Safety Staff Similar to attendance at Council meetings,GMU has attended and coordinated numerous meetings with City Staff for our City clients. Meetings may be internal discussions or discussions regarding a specific project with the applicant and their project team. These meetings are encouraged for complex or high-profile projects, and may also be necessary for projects that have stalled due to review issues. GMU's professional staff is available generally within 24 hours to attend meetings, if necessary. Presentation to City Council Meetings GMU has attended numerous Planning Commission and City Council meetings for our City clients, including third-party expert attendance to answer questions or to make presentations regarding topics including: high-profile or contentious projects, proposed private projects or developments, proposed City projects, and general geotechnical issues such as minimizing slope April 24,2024 20 GMU Proposal P-24083 On-Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines - Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering G i V Services Proposal V I issues or earthquake preparedness. GMU's Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers are prepared to present on a number of topics at the City's request. Geotechnical Engineer and Certified Engineering Geologist Requirements As listed within the Scope of Services in the RFP, a Geotechnical Engineer and Certified Engineering Geologist will provide peer review services. In addition to the licensed Professionals listed in the Key Personnel section of this proposal, GMU also employs 3 additional Engineering Geologists and 3 additional Geotechnical Engineers who may provide these services. GMU is known among geotechnical firms in Orange County for providing outstanding service, including rapid response times and exemplary communication within our organization and with our clients. GMU is also known for high-quality work and excels at complex projects where value engineering or "outside-the-box" thinking is required. In addition, GMU is unique in having a dedicated Pavement Engineering Division within our office, which allows us to provide both services to our agency clients with responsiveness and clarity.
