Section 2: Scope of Services / Project Approach
The Leighton team will work closely with your staff, appropriate regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure your priorities and expectations are fully realized. Through previous successful as-needed contracts, we have found the most important management tool to ensure project success is proactive communication. Depending on the scope identified in the specific project, we will likely recommend a project kickoff meeting so we can establish a full understanding of your goals and confirm expected work product deliverables and introduce key project participants. Project priorities including budget, scope, value engineering, and milestones for deliverables will be identified and committed to by our project team. While all projects are uniquely different, Leighton anticipates the scope of work requested by the City may include the following task items presented from design phase investigations and on through completion of construction:

SOIL ENGINEERING, TESTING, AND INSPECTION
Geotechnical Investigations
Our geotechnical investigations will be mobilized and managed out of our Irvine Headquarters. We will prepare a detailed proposal that will be tailored to meet each individual project’s goals. The proposal will present our proposed scope of work, the anticipated schedule, and a breakdown of associated fees. Each proposal will be crafted with a focus on providing expedient and cost-effective engineering solutions.  RESEARCH AND STUDIES
A task that begins during proposal preparation, our initial Research and Studies for the project will consist of performing a review of existing available documents, geologic maps, and plans relevant to the project that will provide a useful understanding of existing site conditions and site history. In addition, we may review historical stereoscopic aerial photographs and topographic maps to determine approximate existing cut and fill conditions, pre-existing development conditions, and utility conditions that may also impact the design of the project from both a field and construction perspective.
 FIELD EXPLORATION
Prior to executing our field investigation scope as generally summarized below, a member of the Leighton technical staff under the direct supervision of a California-licensed Geotechnical Engineer or Certified Engineering Geologist will visit the site ascertain equipment access and determine suitable exploration methods. Our field exploration program will typically include the following scope:
• Perform a geotechnical reconnaissance of the project site including marking out of exploration locations; observation and geologic mapping of existing slopes, utility trench cuts and boxes, access constraints and geologic observation of site geology and adjacent geology where visible. • Prior to our proposed subsurface exploration, we will notify Underground Service Alert (DigAlert) to screen the proposed exploration locations for the presence of subsurface public utilities. We will also coordinate boring locations with site facilities p ersonnel and may have our exploration locations cleared by a private underground utility subcontractor.
• Acquire any necessary permits, such as a Los Angeles County Public Health Well Permit, if needed. • We will perform our subsurface evaluation program that may consist of, but is not limited to, a combination of geotechnical borings, Cone Penetrometer Test soundings (CPTs) , test pits, and/or geophysical surveys. The exploration method will be selected on a project specific basis based on our understanding of the proposed development and existing site conditions.
3 City of Anaheim, Department of Public Works – Construction Services On-Call Materials Testing, Deputy Inspection, and Environmental Engineering & Science Services for the Construction of Capital Improvement Projects

• Perform field percolation testing to support the design of proposed stormwater infiltration devices, if any. The field percolation testing will be performed in accordance with the latest Los Angeles County guidelines. • At the completion of our field investigation, the explorations will be backfilled in accordance with County guidelines and patched to match existing surface conditions. Drill cuttings may need to be stored temporarily on- site, in clearly labeled 55 -gallon drums, pending soil characterization and disposal at an appropriate receiving facility.
 LABORATORY TESTING
Leighton has three laboratories (Irvine, Temecula, and San Diego) with an extensive inventory of equipment and cross-trained staff that can handle many types of samples and tests. Our ability to load level our tests between laboratories allows us to accept large volumes of samples and be more responsive to our client’s needs when rapid turn-around times are needed.

We perform a full spectrum of geotechnical soil testing in-house, including, but not limited to:
 Moisture/Density  Direct Shear  Compaction
 Specific Gravity  Triaxial Shear  Expansion Index
 Particle Size Analyses  Consolidation/Swell  Corrosivity  Atterberg Limits  Stabilometer (R-value)  Falling/Constant Head Permeability The following is a list of common tests for aggregate, hot mix asphalt (HMA) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) that Leighton performs in our laboratories on a regular basis.

AGGREGATE (HMA & PCC) HOT MIX ASPHALT & PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE  Sieve Analysis  Maximum Density - Hveem
 Specific Gravity (Coarse/Fine)  Concrete Cylinder Compression  Sand Equivalent  Flexural Strength of Concrete
 Durability  Bulk specific Gravity of Compacted HMA
 LA Rattler  Asphalt Extraction by Ignition

he quality of our laboratory is controlled using certification programs from Caltrans (various districts), the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), California Division of the State Architect (DSA), among others. The quality of our analyses is controlled using verification forms that require stand-alone, fully reviewed engineering calculation packages to support design recommendations.

In addition, our laboratories are participants in the Caltrans Independent Assurance Program, and are also participants of the following correlation testing programs:
• AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL)
• Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL)
• Caltrans’ Reference Samples Program (RSP)
 REPORT AND FINDINGS
We will prepare a geotechnical design report in accordance with the 2022 California Building Code and appropriate regulatory agencies guidelines and requirements. The report will contain graphics and discussions presenting our findings, conclusions, and recommendations for the project. The report will be signed by a California-licensed Geotechnical Engineer (GE) from our firm. Generally, our report will provide the following:

Subsurface Conditions: A discussion regarding the encountered subsurface soils conditions including soil type, in- situ moisture content and density, and depth to groundwater.

Geologic Hazards: We will discuss potential geologic hazards at this site, including potential for surface fault rupture, ground shaking, liquefaction, lateral spreading and differential seismic settlement, and potential flood hazards at the site using available data.

Seismicity: We will provide a regional fault map showing the proximity of this site to major faults identified by the California Geological Survey within a 100-kilometer radius of the site. We will also perform a site-specific ground motion analysis to obtain site-specific seismic coefficients in accordance with ASCE 7-16 and the 2022 California Building Code (CBC).

Grading and Earthwork: We will present earthwork criteria, including recommendations for new footing subgrade preparation, recommendations for removal of unsuitable soil or fill, utility trench backfill, surface drainage, and landscaping considerations, as necessary. Recommendations for import soil engineering and compaction criteria will also be provided.

Foundations: Utilizing data collected during our exploration, we will recommend allowable vertical and lateral bearing pressures for use in designing new spread-footing foundations. We will also provide foundation design criteria including recommendations for minimum size, embedment depth, allowable vertical and lateral capacities, and expected total and differential settlements. In addition, foundation recommendations for light poles footings, fen
ce post footings, and other free-standing canopy structures will be provided.

Lateral Earth Pressures: Recommended lateral earth pressures for active, at-rest and passive conditions, and soil friction will be provided for use in retaining wall design.

Slabs-On-Grade: We will present concrete slab-on-grade design criteria, including recommendations for subgrade preparation, moisture vapor mitigation and if necessary, non-expansive fill.

Asphalt Concrete and Portland Cement Concrete Pavements: We will provide recommendations for AC and PCC pavement sections based on assumed traffic indices. We will also provide recommendations for permeable and precast pavers.

Temporary Excavations: Utilizing the data collected during our exploration, we will present temporary excavation guidelines (construction site safety is the responsibility of the contractor).

POST-REPORT SUBMITTAL SERVICES
A/E Team Coordination and Review: We will provide geotechnical support for the design team during preparation of the project drawings and specifications. We will review the project drawings and specifications for compliance with our geotechnical recommendations.

General Contractor Bidding Phase Services: Respond to bid questions including requests for information (RFIs) as they relate to geotechnical items; and attend project meetings and participate in conference calls with the design team.
 SCHEDULE
Upon receipt of a written notice-to-proceed Leighton is prepared to immediately commence project planning and scheduling. California law requires that Underground Service Alert (USA) be provided at least two working days advanced notice to locate registered public utilities at the project site before exploration can begin. Depending on potential site access constraints, weather and exploration equipment availability, field exploration may begin five to ten working days after receipt of notice to proceed. Depending on project specific scope details, our field exploration can be completed in one or more days. In general, geotechnical laboratory testing will require approximately two weeks to complete after the conclusion of field exploration. Geotechnical analyses and report preparation will then require an additional 2 weeks after completion of lab testing. We anticipate we can provide our geotechnical report within approximately 4 weeks after field exploration. We can provide preliminary results upon request in a technical memorandum as site-specific information becomes available.

Geotechnical Observation and Testing
The purpose of our geotechnical field observation and testing during construction will be to document that the work performed by the contractor is in compliance with the applicable plans and specifications and in accordance with applicable sections of the 2022 California Building Code. Our geologist and/or soils technician will inspect all excavations to verify the conditions anticipated in the approved project geotechnical report have been encountered and to provide corrective recommendations as deemed appropriate. It is not our intent to provide supervision or direction from the contractor or the contractor’s subcontractors.

We will dispatch to the project site qualified engineering technicians to perform field observation and testing of earthwork operations. Our field testing and observation activities will be performed on an “on-call” basis upon request by the project superintendent at the appropriate times during construction. However, we do require that our field representative be present continuously during the earthwork associated with remedial grading and/or preparation of building pads so that we may properly document the depth overexcavation and geotechnical characteristics of the compaction of the fill.

Based on our understanding of the proposed projects, the anticipated tasks for our scope of services will consist of the following field, laboratory, and office work, generally presented in chronological order:
 Pre-Construction Plan Review: We will perform a technical review of the grading plans and foundation plans fo
r the project by our Geotechnical Engineer (GE) and Certified Engineering Geologist (CEG). We will prepare a letter documenting our review of each plan set, including signature and stamp, as needed. In addition, we will provide a response to the contractor’s requests for information (RFI’s) as requested.  Pre-Construction Meeting: Our project manager and field operations manager will attend a pre-construction m
eeting with representatives of the contractors/sub-contractors and construction management team to establish any site access restrictions, points of contact, protocol for scheduling our services, and distribution list for DFRs and test results.
6 City of Anaheim, Department of Public Works – Construction Services On-Call Materials Testing, Deputy Inspection, and Environmental Engineering & Science Services for the Construction of Capital Improvement Projects
 Field Observation and Testing: A Caltrans-certified soil tester will perform full-time or part-time observation and te
sting during subgrade preparation, trench backfill, and placement of new fill and base course for concrete and asphalt construction. Soil samples and base course samples will be collected for laboratory testing to establish criteria for the acceptance. We can also perform maximum density tests in the field. Leighton will also perform testing if we encounter variability in the source of aggregate base or import fill material. As the excavation reaches the design grade, our technicians will observe and test the excavation bottom. If soft or yielding subgrade is exposed, additional excavation will be recommended until an unyielding subgrade is ac
hieved. The subgrade will then be scarified, moisture-conditioned, and recompacted under the observation or our technicians. During fill placement, we will monitor the fill thickness, moisture-conditioning of the new fill, and compaction effort. In-place field density tests will be performed using a nuclear density gauge in ac
cordance with ASTM D 6938 or CTM 231. Areas that do not meet compaction standard will be reworked until it meets all specification requirements.
 Geotechnical Laboratory Testing: Geotechnical (soil) testing may include, but not limited to, modified Proctor (ASTM D 1557) maximum dry density and optimum moisture content compaction curves, gradation, sand e
quivalent, corrosivity, expansion and R-Value.
 On-call Engineering Support: We will respond to requests for information (RFIs), attend meetings, and support v
alue engineering efforts on an as-needed basis.
 Project Management: This scope of work will consist of reviewing DFRs and laboratory test results and preparing these reports for distribution. Geotechnical concerns encountered in the field and noted in the daily reports, and any material tested and found to not conform to project specifications, will be brought to the attention of your designated representative (s). Supervision, quality control and project management will be provided by our Geotechnical Engineer.
 Compacted Fill Report: We will prepare a compacted fill report summarizing our test results and observations made during construction.

MATERIALS TESTING AND SPECIAL INSPECTION SERVICES
Our scope of services for the proposed projects will consist of materials testing and special inspection during construction. Our understanding of the proposed projects will be based on the project plan sets and specifications provided by the City. The anticipated tasks for our scope of services will consist of the following field, laboratory and office work.

This work involves the records review, site reconnaissance, historical site usage review, interviews, and report preparation.
 Asbestos & Lead-Based Paint Surveys
Asbestos and lead-based paint surveys will be managed and overseen by Leighton and conducted by trusted subcontractors. Structures undergoing renovation or demolition may contain hazardous building materials and Leighton works closely with our certified subcontractors to survey buildings and onsite structures for asbestos, lead- based paint, PCB-containing materials, and universal waste, and to abate these materials as needed. Our subcontractors have California Licensed Asbestos and Lead Inspectors who have performed hundreds of building inspections and have worked closely with Leighton on many successful projects in the past.  Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
Phase II ESAs will be performed in accordance with ASTM Standard E1903-19. Sampling materials and the method of sampling will be dependent on the findings from the Phase I ESA and existing site conditions and constraints. We can pull encroachment permits and implement traffic control measures as required. We will select the appropriate and capable environmental driller(s) to perform site subsurface investigation on time and within budget. Common chemicals of concern include: total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Semi-VOCs, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs), and heavy metals. Potential emerging COCs also include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).  Remediation Support
During remediation work, we will continue working closely with you and in coordination with the governing regulatory agency(ies) such as DTSC, RWQCB, USEPA, and any private residential or commercial developer. Our goal is to ensure projects remain in compliance with all involved regulatory agencies, not only for the health and safety of the workers, the environment, and surrounding community, but also to help you achieve funding assistance and/or reimbursement, especially as it relates to the Polanco Act or AB 440.  Groundwater Well Installation & Monitoring
For projects that require groundwater well installation and monitoring, we have significant experience in the City of Anaheim and understand the highly varied nature of the local subsurface geologic and hydrogeologic conditions and can select the most appropriate drilling methods for each project based upon this knowledge.

We have installed thousands of groundwater monitoring wells from single completions in shallow water table aquifers to multi-nested completions in confined and multilayered aquifers. We have designed and installed monitoring wells intended for the recovery of various petroleum hydrocarbons, VOCs, various light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL – floating product), dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL), and other dissolved compounds.

Prior to any monitoring well installation, Leighton will obtain all necessary permits from the appropriate regulatory agency and register wells with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) as required. All drilling will be performed under the oversight of a Professional Geologist of Professional Civil Engineer registered in the State of California.

Orange County Zoo Large Mammal Exhibit | 2021 - 2022:

Located towards the back of the zoo in the new Oak
Woodlands habitat, the new large mammal exhibit
consists of three new buildings: the Holding Building,
Auxiliary Holding Building, and LSS-Kitchen Building.

Working closely with the architect, our field exploration consisted of six borings to a maximum depth of 22 feet, a geophysical survey to support liquefaction analysis of the site, and a field percolation testing. We evaluated the soil characteristics, including expansion potential, corrosivity, shear strength and shear wave velocity, and geologic hazards at the site such as ground rupture,
lateral spreading, and seismically induced settlement.

Based on results of our analyses, we developed
recommendations for design and construction of the project.

During construction, we provided geotechnical observation and testing to confirm that placed fill was suitable for the support of foundations and floor slabs of the buildings and for the bioswale/filtration basin. We met with the general contractor, the County’s arborist, and the grading operator when it was discovered that existing tree roots were in the path of proposed overexcavations, and that building and retaining wall footings would encroach underground drip lines for two oak trees and one pine tree.

Special inspection and materials testing were performed during construction of the three buildings, bridge, cages, and canopy. Our tasks included special inspection and testing of reinforcing steel, concrete and masonry, ACI certified shotcrete, high-strength grout, ICC field welds, high-strength bolting, material identification verification of hardware, anchors and epoxied anchors and dowels, and shop NDT ultrasonic for complete joint penetration (CJP) welds.

ADDENDUM NO. 1

TO THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)

for the

ON-CALL MATERIALS TESTING, DEPUTY INSPECTION,

AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING & SCIENCE SERVICES

January 16, 2024
I. GENERAL
The following changes, additions, or deletions shall be made as indicated, and all other conditions shall remain the same.

II. DESIGN-BUILDER QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Items 1 and 2 under the Minimum Requirements of the subject RFP generally states that responsible charge for the Geotechnical Services will be managed/supervised by a registered professional (i.e. Certified Engineering Geologist (CEG) or Geotechnical Engineer (GE). However, in accordance with the State Board of Registered Professional Engineers and Geologists, there is a clear separation between the two registrations. For example, The State defines a Certified Engineering Geologist as specialty certification in the discipline of geology but does not allow a CEG the authority to certify engineering work related to soil engineering and vise versa. In addition, a GE is a practicing registration (specialty) for Registered Professional Engineers (PE) that affords the PE the authority to use the practicing title of Geotechnical Engineer. In that regard, a PE practicing in the field of soil engineering as a specialty engineering practice may still certify soil engineering work but cannot use the practicing title of Geotechnical Engineer. Is the City of Anaheim implying in the minimum requirements that it accepts the certification of soil engineering testing and practices as a replacement or substitute for the GE oversight and responsible charge? I’ve attached a FAQ document provided by the California Board of Professional Engineers Land Surveyors and Geologists should additional information be required.

A1 The City of Anaheim’s intent is to have a Registered Professional manage/supervise the geotechnical services project in accordance with California Board for Professionals Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologist and practice with limitations allowed by the board.

Can you confirm can we submit on each individual category or must we be able to complete all three?
A2 Yes, you can submit on each category or all that are applicable to the consultant firm or team. Please submit only one proposal that outlines each category that your firm will complete.

A4 After consulting with the City’s legal team, the City cannot consider the above-mentioned changes.

Q5 Should rates sheets for drilling and/or traffic control subcontractors be included as part of our fee schedule submittal?
A5 The rate sheets for subcontractors if necessary can be included in the Appendix.

Q6 For references, are we to provide a total of 3 (past and present) working references? Or, are we to provide a total of 6 references which includes 3 past working references and 3 present working references?
