iT <br />2. SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SCHEDULE <br />An example of a typical timeline for testing and inspection for an approximately five month project, based on our <br />experience with similar projects, includes: <br />SCST has a long established Quality Assurance <br />Program (QAP) in place to ensure our team members <br />perform work accurately and in conformance with all <br />project specific codes, requirements,and standards. As <br />part of SCST's QAP procedures, an SCST professionally <br />licensed engineer is responsible for reviewing all <br />reports prior to submission. This includes field testing, <br />analyses, subcontractor's work products, and the <br />transmittal of laboratory test results. Our experienced <br />technical reviewer staff members review data collection, <br />calculations, analysis, interpretation, and reporting. Our <br />project manager reviews cost control, conformance with <br />task expectations, and documentation for contractual <br />obligations. <br />SCST maintains a system of checks and balances <br />to ensure our projects are of the highest quality. <br />SCST's laboratory participates in the AMRL and CCRL <br />proficiency -sampling program to confirm our team <br />provides accurate reporting of laboratory tests. SCST is <br />recognized for high quality test results. Careful chain of <br />custody is managed by Agile Frameworks MetaField® <br />V2.6 software. Samples are logged and assigned testing <br />electronically from the field at the time of sampling, <br />delivered to SCST's laboratory and are immediately <br />scheduled for testing at required dates by the <br />appropriate testing methods. Test results are managed <br />and forwarded also using Agile Frameworks MetaField@ <br />V2.6 to SCST's Project Manager for review and <br />distribution. Should testing result in non-compliance, the <br />designated District representative is notified immediately <br />and a log of non-conformance is automatically tracked <br />per project using the MetaField® V2.6 system. <br />SCST's principals and project managers are <br />committed to our Quality Assurance Program (QAP). <br />They are not only responsible, but take pride in <br />the quality of our services and overall compliance, <br />accuracy, and thoroughness of our reporting methods. <br />SCST's corporate structure assigns appropriate <br />levels of responsibility for fulfilling quality assessment <br />roles. These roles and responsibilities are distributed <br />within the project management activities and the QA <br />group. SCST is structured to provide QA oversight on <br />a continuing basis and to monitor performance and <br />adjust or modify resources when necessary to improve <br />a program or project. <br />To provide QA oversight on a continuing basis, we <br />empower staff assigned specifically to monitor quality <br />and safety. We hold regular meetings with our technical <br />staff to maintain their familiarity with QA/QC standards. <br />Our field supervisors visit with our field inspectors <br />and technicians on -site on a regular basis to check <br />and confirm quality procedures. SCST continues to <br />maintain and keep our QAP current, and will do so <br />throughout the duration of this contract. <br />SCST will submit invoices monthly or at any other <br />interval requested by the City. Invoices can be sorted <br />by agency specific Task and Project Numbers, and we <br />can also provide any additional level of detail regarding <br />billing and invoicing to meet the City's needs, including <br />the description of the work completed, a summary of <br />any outstanding issues, or any problem areas and/or <br />important issues that could affect project progress or <br />costs. <br />City of Santa Ana RFP No, 18-045, Geotechnical Engineering Services <br />SCST Proposal No. 18-0308 <br />
