Test results for soil and aggregate samples obtained at the job site are to be reported within 72 hours. Test results for compaction and density tests are to be reported within 24 hours. Test results for soils and asphalt obtained at the job site (R-Value, asphalt extraction, etc.) are to be reported within 96 hours. Methodology for Materials Testing and Inspection AESCO's method of operation is the following: • Prior to the start of any project AESCO will become familiar with the contract documents, project plans, technical specification, existing site(s) and conditions, and other pertinent project documents. • Prior to the start of any project AESCO will meet with the CITY to review staffing, project needs, coordinate inspections and testing, review budget controls, and will also attend the pre -construction meeting(s) if requested. • AESCO provides a 24-hour live answering service and one of our Project Engineers Construction Material Testing/ Inspection g Pagee d" a e C d e e y 4 as e l e c a Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering Services 9 a o m 74e Cy z o a a d VA www.AescoTech.com M AESCO Proposal No. P6513 Statement of Quawcations is always available to answer any technical or scheduling issues. Technicians shall be available upon 24-hour notice and for occasional night work. • AESCO digitally controls all assigned tasks to our technicians and each unit of service is closely watched by our project manager. AESCO does not exceed the assigned budget for its services prior to authorization by the CITY. • The inspector (or inspectors) then arrives at the site to perform the required testing and inspections. The technician will arrive at the site with the correct equipment, calibrated to existing standards with documentation. Equipment calibration shall be performed prior to the start of work and costs are included in the total hourly rate for field services. All samples will be transported from the project site to the laboratory for testing as required. • All breaks and laboratory testing is scheduled through our electronic dispatch system where notification is atomically issued to the laboratory manager to perform specific tests, such as; breaks of concrete cylinders at a schedule of 7-day, 14-day and 28-day breaks; beam breaks; masonry block breaks; prism breaks; etc. • Daily field reports and test results are created digitally in a standard report format and emailed within 24 hours of completion of the test or inspection to the CITY. Field testing/compaction results of subgrade or asphalt concrete shall be communicated to CITY personnel as soon as the tests have been completed, on same day of testing, with hard copy to follow. • Any test or inspection deficiencies, such as; failing compaction, concrete not reaching the required strength, concrete with high slump, cleanness of rebar, cleanness of footings, etc., will be discussed immediately with the CITY. Our professionals will provide practical solutions to critical issues encountered in the field, considering both cost and technical implications. • A final certification report of all inspection services performed summarizing test results and raw data will be submitted for review following completion of construction which will summarize all failed and passing tests. The report will include the tests performed, where the test was performed or the sample was taken, testing dates at time, and test standard used, the approximately quantity of material represented by the test, will clearly identify a pass or fail result, and will summarize findings, conclusions, results and recommendations. The report will be signed by a California Licensed Professional Engineer/Geotechnical Engineer. All laboratory reports and inspection reports are supervised, reviewed and signed by a California Licensed Professional Engineer/Geotechnical Engineer. • AESCO will comply with OSHA requirements Safety Standards. • All technicians are adequately insured for liability and property damage, and a copy of the policy will be forwarded to the CITY upon request. Vehicles bear the firm's name. • All inspectors are required to communicate on a daily basis with our Quality Control Manager who ensures that all work is being performed in accordance with the Quality Control Manual. • AESCO has been successful in consistently completing its projects within the assigned budget and schedule. We thoroughly evaluate our task and scope of work and build an efficient budget for our work.

AESCO has a practice of obtaining advance approval from clients prior to initiating any work which will add costs to the originally approved budget. AESCO's commitment to quality assurance extends to field and laboratory staff that is certified in various technical disciplines by multiple agencies such as City of Los Angeles, Caltrans, ACI, NICET, and ICC. Field technicians and inspectors provide detailed documentation of construction operations and specification compliance. AESCO's accredited materials testing laboratory and collection of resourceful field equipment enable our professionals to efficiently determine precise methods for qualifying construction materials. Special Inspection and Materials Testing Philosophy and Process AESCO maintains a strict Quality Control Program (QCP). AESCO is a member of, and certified by several independent certification agencies, such as DSA, AMRL, CCRL, Caltrans, the City of Los Angeles, and the City of San Diego. AESCO is also part of the yearly reference sampling program for these agencies. These involvements ensure a rigorous training of AESCO's technicians and test method verifications. AESCO maintains current test manuals and standards. All laboratory testing and field investigations are supervised by AESCO's registered engineer. The test results are reviewed by AESCO's Engineering Manager and QA/QC Manager, each of whom has over 35 years of experience. Innovative and Flexible Approaches AESCO has used various approaches to save clients time and money as shown below: An example of our approach is the emergency response AESCO provided to the City of Huntington Beach when a large sinkhole developed in the middle of one of the major thoroughfares; Warner Avenue. AESCO personnel were on -site around the clock to assist in the repair and to devise a dewatering system to be used during construction. AESCO's geotechnical engineers provided on the spot engineering recommendations and mitigations to expedite the repair. AESCO implemented and supervised a grout injection system to save the in -place utilities, existing structures, and the roadway. The project was completed approximately 20 percent earlier than was anticipated. AESCO also provided emergency response to the Alhambra Unified School District when an excavation flooded at night due to broken water line at Garfield Elementary School. AESCO's Geotechnical Engineer was on -site at 7:00 A.M. on a Saturday to assist the District in mitigation of the problem and to stabilize the subgrade. AESCO also responded to a slope failure along in Highway 330 near Lake Arrowhead. AESCO worked double shifts and weekends performing the geotechnical investigations and recommendations for the contractor to repair the road in a timely manner.

The project also includes design and construction of a maintenance and storage facility and two new bridge structures. The maintenance and storage facility is planned to house all light revenue maintenance functions, including operations. This will accommodate administration, operations, maintenance, repair bays, and parts storage. A maintenance building, a wash building, parking lots, and a fire lane are also included. The Santa Ana River Bridge is an approximately 356-foot-long, 3-span, precast, pre -stressed concrete, Caltrans, wide -flange girder bridge. Spans vary from approximately 80 to 138 feet and will carry the OC Streetcar light rail tracks over the Santa Ana River and adjacent Santa Ana River Trail. Traffic on the bridge consists of two tracks. Two reinforced concrete pier walls were proposed for the river piers. Short seat abutments on a single row of cast -in -drilled -hole (CIDH) piles were proposed to minimize earthwork, accommodate thermal movements, and use the same foundation type as the piers. The Westminster Avenue UP was proposed as an approximately 23 1 -foot-long, 2-span, cast -in -place, post -tensioned concrete box girder bridge. Spans are approximately I I I to 120 feet long and will carry the OC Streetcar light rail tracks over Westminster Avenue. Traffic on the bridge consists of two tracks. High, cantilever abutments were proposed to minimize span length. A single, non -skewed, oblong column bent was proposed to fit within the available 14-foot median width, measured face-to-face of curb, on Westminster Avenue.
