Develop Scope of Work – The initial step in our approach is to meet with the City Project manager in order to get clear understanding of the project and our expected services. For the geotechnical investigation, we will develop a detailed scope of work, including the number and type of subsurface explorations, laboratory test, as well as the type of analyses. We will evaluate various subsurface exploration methods to determine the most cost-effective approach to each project. Our reports will be performed in accordance with the City’s Building and Safety Code, the Excavation and Grading Code, the 2015 Engineering Design & Construction Standards, and the current California Building Code. For the materials testing and inspection services, we will review the approved plans and specifications and will develop a detailed scope of services indicating anticipated man-hours by discipline for the required materials testing and inspection services. We will submit this plan to the City Project Manager for approval and will provide monthly updates to the City Project Manager as construction progresses.
Project Personnel Utilization – Upon approval of our scope of work, we will assign the appropriately certified personnel to the project based on the specific needs of the project. Our large pool of licensed professional geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and certified engineering geologists will be utilized for our geotechnical investigation.
Our project management approach and in-house computerized data base ensure that we have the appropriately certified personnel assigned during construction. We will also review the contractor’s schedule in order to plan accordingly and anticipate the future inspections and testing requests.
Sampling Protocol and Document Control – We will next establish the sampling protocols required for the project, based on the project specifications and the requirements of the County Building Code, plans, specifications, and other governing regulations. Our document control system provides unique identification of daily reports and laboratory conformance testing for each project assignment. These systems are a part of our Quality Systems Program and will be utilized for each task order assignment. Establish Communication Lines – The next step in our approach is to establish the communication lines for the project, including the authorized City representative who will be requesting our services. We will also request the approved distribution list for our inspection reports, daily field reports, and laboratory conformance test results.
On past projects, the client’s Project Managers have coordinated our services in the field and distributed our reports. On other past projects, we were scheduled by on-site client’s representative and distributed our reports to the approved distribution list. We will provide our services to meet the City’s needs. Often we will attend pre-construction meetings with the contractor and obtain from the City the approved distribution list for our materials testing and inspection reports as well as our laboratory conformance testing results. We will also provide the City representatives with our personnel’s 2 Mobilize Team

Ninyo & Moore On-Call Management Method
Our approach to on-call service contracts begins with the assignment of a highly qualified and experienced project manager with technical knowledge required for the contract. Our project manager will be the single point-of-contact for the City and will be responsible for contract administration and technical coordination of our staff to perform the required tasks on time and within budget. The overall contract budget and individual task assignment budgets are tracked and maintained and are reported to the client on a monthly basis. Individual task order assignments will be coordinated utilizing our highly experienced staff of licensed civil and geotechnical engineers, registered geologists, certified engineering geologists, inspectors, and technicians. 14 Ninyo & Moore | On-Call Materials Testing, Deputy Inspection, Environmental Engineering & Science Services | 04-04351 | January 30, 2024 4 Organizational Structure
smart phone numbers as well as e-mail addresses for communication during the project.
We will also establish the communication lines between the City’s Project Manager and Inspector, and the contractors’ and sub-contractors’ representatives. Utilize Our Project Controls – Ninyo & Moore utilizes an internal project control system that includes budget, schedule, and document review and control. Our project manager will utilize our in-house system to keep the City’s Project Manager informed about the status of our services during both our geotechnical investigation phase and for our materials testing and inspection services during construction. We include monthly progress reports indicating the amount billed to date along with a comparison to the overall task order budget and the overall construction schedule.
Our quality control includes review of our laboratory conformance test results by a California licensed engineer and geotechnical analysis review by a California licensed Geotechnical Engineer.
Perform Field and Laboratory Testing – If necessary, and requested by the City, when construction commences, we can provide the necessary personnel and equipment to inspect and test the construction materials quality and contractor’s construction methods in order to document conformance to the project plans and specifications. We will also sample the construction materials as required and perform laboratory conformance tests as specified. The results of our inspections and tests will be forwarded to the City’s representatives at the end of each working day. Immediate notification will be provided via phone, e-mail, and/or fax if we find non-conformance in materials or workmanship.
Our local laboratory facilities will perform 100 percent of the soils and materials laboratory work for this contract. They are certified in compliance with ASTM E-329 and are approved/accredited by the City of Los Angeles, Division of the State Architect (DSA), Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Caltrans, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Materials Reference Laboratory (AASHTO resource, formerly, AMRL) and the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL). Quality Assurance Review – We understand the importance of reliability of our inspections and test results. Therefore, we have a Quality Assurance Plan in place that provides written procedures for our services. Our Quality Assurance Plan is overseen by a California license engineer and includes review of our training procedures, as well as participation in third party review and inspection of our facilities. All of our laboratory conformance tests are reviewed by a California licensed engineer prior to submittal. Reports – Written reports are required for project documentation. We will submit our written reports, including both our geotechnical investigation report and our written reports during construction, as established in the communications structure for the project that was determined during the project initiation stage. Passing tests and inspections will be filed in accordance with the document control system. Non- conforming reports will be maintained in a non-conformance log that will be maintained by our office. Non-conformance areas will need to be remedied in accordance with the project requirements. When non-conforming materials or workmanship are remedied, we will document the acceptance in the non-conformance log for project close-out purposes.
Project Close-Out – The final step in our approach is the closing out of the project and providing the project documentation, as it relates to materials testing and inspection, to the City.

Q1
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.
