<br />We understand and are well -versed in the City's requirements for timeliness and efficiency in
<br />performing work, scheduling, and reporting results. Once notified with a time and location where our
<br />technician/inspector will be required, our centralized Kleinfelder dispatch team will schedule the
<br />appropriate certified technician/inspector for assignment. The technician/inspector will become
<br />intimately familiar with the project documents and will maintain daily records of inspection and testing
<br />which will document records of time and work performed.
<br />Our field staff will review safety protocols and safe work practices for each activity. They are
<br />equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for services they will provide, which
<br />include reflective safety vests, steel -toed boots, hard hats, gloves, and eye protection. They will
<br />participate in daily safety tailgate meetings prior to the start of work. They will contact our office for
<br />additional staffing and equipment, as necessary, based on communication with the City's onsite
<br />representative and the project engineer.
<br />Daily reports and test results will be provided to the project engineer and City onsite representative
<br />for review and signature and delivered to Kleinfelder's Project Manager/Principal Agent at least on a
<br />weekly basis, or daily when time -critical items are identified for immediate resolution. Reports and
<br />test results may be transmitted electronically to the project engineer and requested City team
<br />members. The technician/inspector will maintain a list of non-compliance issues and track resolution
<br />of these items. In addition, they will document and track re -inspection and re -testing so the City may
<br />back -charge the contractor for these additional costs, if desired.
<br />In addition to required inspection, testing,
<br />and sampling equipment, inspectors are
<br />equipped with smartphones, iPads or
<br />laptops with software including Microsoft
<br />Office (Word, Excel, and Outlook),
<br />Bluebeam ReVU and Acrobat Reader for pdf
<br />files, and our FieldNet reporting software.

<br />Samples of construction materials will be picked up and transported to our laboratory for testing and
<br />analysis by certified laboratory technicians. The laboratory manager reviews the data and distributes
<br />a typed test results report indicating whether the material did or did not meet the requirements or the
