B. Introduction / Information
We understand that the City of Beaumont needs a qualified team to provide geotechnical engineering, materials testing services, plan checking services, and services for preparing design recommendations, plans and other contract
documents for public works construction projects.
We also understand that in 2020, the City had identified " Facets of Livability" that you are dedicated to improving for your community, particularly street infrastructure and quality as well as enhanced mobility and traffic. We are well -positioned and eminently qualified to assist the City in those areas with the provision of geotechnical and
materials testing services, having provided them in the surrounding area for more than six decades on projects
including bicycle paths, sidewalk maintenance, street
improvements, slurry seals, and larger transportation projects as well as other infrastructure and municipal improvements. We would be honored to join you in your goal of improving the quality of life for your residents, businesses, and visitors.
Verdantas has long-standing roots in Riverside County and has served hundreds of municipalities across the county and throughout Southern California, including Beaumont. This extensive local experience gives us insight into the local requirements and regulators, informing our team's approach to best serving the City. We have been performing geotechnical and materials testing services in Riverside County for over 40 years, which includes providing plan review services, developing geotechnical reports with recommendations for design, soil compaction testing, special inspection of concrete formwork and reinforcing, and material testing of ready -mix concrete for slump and strength. All of these services are performed in-house without the need of subconsultants or outside laboratories.
We have three in-house geotechnical and materials testing laboratories located in Temecula, Irvine, and San Diego. Our labs are accredited by AASHTO, Caltrans, California Division of the State Architect (DSA), cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). We provide standard ASTM and Caltrans testing methods and can respond with additional testing methods modified to meet specific field and/or contract conditions. Our laboratories participate bi- yearly in Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) Sample Proficiency Testing as well as the AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) and consistently achieve the highest possible ratings.

2 ► City of Beaumont I On -Call Geotechnical Engineering Services C. Firm Approach
The Verdantas 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.
Effective Communication &t Cost Controls
The Verdantas Team holds internal weekly management meetings to forecast our personnel resource utilization. We discuss current workload and anticipated " notices to proceed" for all on- going and new contracts.
All of our offices are interconnected Microsoft Teams to allow for all of our staff to work effectively on projects regardless of where the work is. GIS/CADD functions are centralized for improved productivity and reduced costs. This benefits the City in that we can efficiently work on your projects regardless of location, and we can quickly mobilize to meet your schedules. Further, data can be rapidly posted on our secure web -based client portals.
Supported with our deep bench of California -licensed professionals here in southern California, we will also be prepared to respond to your needs on short notice -- such as natural disasters and emergencies. We can provide the City a specific on -call 24/7 telephone number.
Using real-time accounting, our Project Managers can have a snapshot of costs at any time (typically daily). Project Managers will work closely with the City to manage costs, and keep City personnel informed about our progress and remaining budget for a given project. We will not exceed an agreed -upon budget without prior written notice from appropriate City personnel. To the extent desired by the City, we will also communicate with you to keep you aware of our progress, including schedule and budget projections (as appropriate).
Project Management
As part of our philosophy, we believe in creating a "true partnership" with our clients to meet or exceed their objectives and expectations. We do this by collaborating closely with our public clients through proactive and effective communication practices. This includes schedule and budget control measures, responsiveness, and implementing our internal quality control and assurance of our services and deliverables. Our approach is to work closely with the City and with inspectors and your consultants, including architects and construction managers, to discuss project requirements and proactively address any foreseeable issues in a timely manner to prevent any project schedule related delays.
Verdantas uses MetaField as a networked and integrated Field Information Management System (FIMS) and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). This eliminates the need for paper N
Verdantas.co
3 ► City of Beaumont I On -Call Geotechnical Engineering Services in the field, laboratory and/or office; although we produce printed copies of any documents you need or want, at any time. Our field staff is equipped with company -provided cell phones, networked laptops, tablets and wireless (Bluetooth®) printers for those regulators and clients who still require paper. This system allows us in real time to email data typically as a PDF, or post data on a web page for your independent and secure access.
Field staff will be mobilized from our nearby Rancho Cucamonga office, with support from our other Southern California offices, as needed. Field staff personnel are dispatched using MetaField, which e -mails their assignments to their phone and/or tablet, so they can see the site location, site - specific contact persons, and prior data acquired for that site. All data acquisition is stored and transmitted electronically, using a secure cellular network and the Cloud.
QA/QC Program and Procedures
Diligent quality control and quality assurance are essential for the technical excellence of engineering services and reports. Verdantas' quality assurance program consists ultimately of principal review of all deliverables before submittal to our clients, a practice long proven to be successful. Accordingly, the success of our quality control program rests upon the integrity of our principal engineers and geologists. In this regard, our bench of principal professionals has demonstrated unwavering commitment to quality and professional integrity through their long tenure with Verdantas.
On each project, Verdantas employs several layers of quality assurance procedures to ensure adherence to the project's goals, budgets, and schedules, and to maintain the highest quality technical data. Budget status, work progress, and the results of data collected in the field are conveyed in regular communication from Verdantas' Project Manager to the Districts' designated point(s) of contact. Through constant monitoring of project costs, schedule, and results, and through clear communication with the Districts, Verdantas minimizes change orders throughout the duration of each project to its completion.
Documents for agency submittal, including their
associated tables and figures, undergo a two- to
three- tiered internal review, depending on size
and complexity. Data tables and figures are
initially drafted by junior staff under the
guidance of the Project Manager. Once
complete, these work products are combined
with the report text to form a complete
document for review by the Principal in Charge.
The QC officer checks both the data points and
the broader conclusions of the report prior to

Verdantas has provided a wide variety of services for the City of Industry since the early 1990s, most prominently during the design and construction of the Industry Business Center East and West Projects.
Industry Business Center East and West Projects. The
project includes approximately 600 acres of moderate to steep hillside terrain in the eastern Puente Hills adjacent to Diamond Bar. The site is underlain by Puente Formation
bedrock as well as surficial deposits including compressible alluvium, colluvium and landslide debris. Significant
geotechnical issues include stabilization of numerous
planned cut and fill over cut slopes in excess of 150 feet in height as well as stabilization of several large landslides. The project also included dewatering of shallow groundwater, removal of compressible soil, installation of an extensive subterranean water removal system, placement of deep fills, settlement monitoring and design recommendations for construction. Geotechnical observation and testing for the first 3 phases of construction included detailed geologic mapping of cuts slopes and removal excavations, observation of subdrain installation and observation and testing during fill placement and compaction.
Walnut Drive South Widening and Storm Drain Improvements. Improvements to this residential street, located on a hillside, included widening by 13 feet and replacing an open channel with a reinforced concrete box. The storm drain connects to a larger culvert at SR -60.
To increase the street width, excavation of the hillside will result in a reinforced 10 foot slope with a gradient of 4:1 (horizontal: vertical). The open channel was impacted by large trees and over -growth of plant material. Verdantas provided the city with the geotechnical recommendations for design, plan review, and geotechnical observation and testing. During construction excavation seepage was observed under the existing storm drain. Our recommendations were to install a subdrain to collect seepage water and be tied into the storm drain at the location of its upstream connection to the existing storm drain.

Questions & Answers
1. Who are the current incumbents?
Step 1: Please visit the City of Beaumont's Planet Bids portal at:
https://vendors.planetbids.coin/portal/66785/bo/bo-detail/122659 Step 2: Locate the On -Call Geotechnical Services RFP from the list.
Step 3: Click on the "Prospective Bidders" tab up above.
2. What is the anticipated contract amount?
There is no contract amount. Once under contract, the successful consultant(s) will be required to provide an estimate or short proposal for the City task or project.
3. Would it be acceptable for any charts/tables to have a font smaller than 12pt? Only if the font is part of the chart and is still legible.
4. In regard to the cost proposal, we understand the hard copy should be submitted separate, but what about the digital copy? Should that be included with the uploaded PDF to planet bids? Or is the physical copy all that is needed?
The City is requiring only one (1) hard copy of the Cost Proposal to be submitted in a separate envelope along with the four (4) bounded copies.
5. Since the City is asking for full resumes in addition to the full team summary (Section G), could we include the resumes in the back in an appendix that does not count against the 20 - page limit?
Correct, the resumes do not count against the page limit.
6. Could you define how Section F. Resume of the Lead Consultant should differ from Section G. Key Personnel? Should the Project Manager be considered the Lead Consultant? Some consulting firms may need to partner with other firms (sub -consultants) to meet the requested City services. These sub -consultants will be part of the Key Personnel.
7. Section J. Cost Proposal asks for the fee to include a not -to -exceed amount. Since this is an on - call contract, can this requirement be omitted?
Unfortunately, the City will be unable to remove that provision as our code and policies do not allow that.
8. Our Council has reviewed the sample agreement and we have some concerns regarding the language presented. Some of the language is not insurable under a professional liability policy
