DISCUSSION
The City has a robust capital improvement program. Professional services in the areas of geotechnical inspection and material testing are often required during the design and construction phases of projects. These services provide information regarding the existing and proposed pavement conditions that are used for the construction of the City’s Capital Improvement Projects. For the past two years, staff has been using the “on-call” geotechnical inspection and material testing services and staff have been able to expedite the project schedules significantly.

In an effort to continue streamlining project delivery and provide readily available technical support, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide on-call geotechnical inspection and material testing services on September 21, 2023. By Attachments

PSA No. 23-34 - ASE.pdf
October 6, 2023, staff received five (5) proposals from qualified firms. Previous experience working with these firms indicate satisfactory proficiency and experience to provide the required services.

Staff reviewed each firm’s labor and material rate schedule and found them to be consistent with industry standards. At the time the services are required on a specific project, the City will request proposals from the on-call list of consultants, and based on qualifications, a letter proposal will be agreed upon by the City and the selected consultant. At this time, no further Council action will be required. Funds for these services will be expensed from the applicable project budget.

Staff recommends approving two-year contracts with each firm without a guaranteed minimum and a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000. Due to the on-call nature of this agreement, work is not guaranteed to the consultant.

BUDGET IMPACT
The approval of the proposed on-call agreements does not directly appropriate or expend funds. Services will be used to the extent of available funding in the applicable project budget.

Pavement Investigations
MTGL regularly performs pavement investigations for cities in Southern California to provide their designers and planners appropriate recommendations for their aging streets. Our understanding of cities’ needs to find and implement cost‐effective solutions has helped develop our approach to these types of projects.

Upon Notice to Proceed (NTP), we will coordinate with the City’s representative to tailor the project’s scope of work to a tentative schedule. This typically includes preparing ROW and Traffic Control permits, and providing notice to our sub‐contractors that the work has been authorized. Prior to coring the pavement, we will perform a site reconnaissance to mark‐out the core locations and USA DigAlert will be notified. An MTGL engineer will walk the streets to evaluate the pavement surface, identifying distresses critical to developing conclusions and recommendations. The pavement will be cored at the marked‐out locations and the cores and subgrade will be sampled. The materials encountered will be logged, and the samples taken will be transported to MTGL’s full‐service geotechnical laboratory, where select samples will be tested, typically for an R‐value. The findings of the field investigation and laboratory testing will be used to develop new pavement sections and appropriate alternative rehabilitation and reconstruction recommendations.

Recent pavement investigation projects for cities include:

City of La Habra, North Wiatt Way, October 2023 – Project is currently in progress. MTGL is quickly evaluating a street that was recently included in a larger project that has already been designed and ready for construction. MTGL is coring and sampling in 2 locations and hopes to provide pavement recommendations consistent with the larger project that is ready for construction.

During the past 37 years, we have acquired extensive experience conducting the requested services that fit the city’s needs. We are uniquely qualified to provide the required services to the city, and offer the following advantages:

WE ARE EXPERIENCED WITH PUBLIC WORKS - Since our founding, our services have involved public works projects that include roads, pavements, storm drains, sewers, water transmission and storage facilities, wastewater facilities, schools, public buildings, bridges, airfields, port facilities, landslides and emergency response/forensic projects. Group Delta’s professionals have also performed geotechnical investigations for numerous projects for surrounding municipalities with similar geotechnical conditions. Group Delta has established a record of completing projects on schedule and within budget for major clients in the public sector including the RCTC, SANBAG, City of Long Beach, City of Los Angeles, Caltrans, LA Metro, Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA), OCTA, OCPW, County of San Bernardino, and numerous local cities/agencies.

Therefore, we understand the City’s requirements pertaining to materials testing services and have established excellent working relationships.

PROVEN OVERALL COMPETENCE WITH ON-CALL CONTRACTS - We have provided similar services as an on‐call consultant for geotechnical and materials testing services and understand the City’s needs and processes.

1. COVER LETTER
CCRL, City of Los Angeles and others. In addition, because we typically have multiple local projects in progress, we can most efficiently use our technicians who are already on site nearby to cover work at your site. Thus, we can reduce our cost because we are not mobilizing/demobilizing staff as frequently, reducing travel time to the project site. These elemental yet effective approaches to your projects consistently reduce delays or downtime on project sites, giving City staff the confidence that our deputized inspectors adequately represent the City’s interests and objectives on every project. These are commitments to you which our record supports and we will continue to provide you.

We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal and look forward to the potential of offering our services for the City of Buena Park Public Works Department. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

GROUP DELTA CONSULTANTS

Additionally Group Delta directed a field investigation that included a deflection study, ground penetration radar study, and subsurface investigations. The final pavement report provided pavement rehabilitation recommendations including mill and overlay and localized removal and replacements. Additionally, the report identified construction considerations and

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
A-Town Platinum Triangle, Anaheim, California
Anaheim’s Platinum triangle is envisioned to be a high density, mixed-use, urban environment that includes 9,500 dwelling units, 5 million square feet of office space and more than 2 million square feet of commercial use. Lennar’s A-Town Metro project is a cornerstone of this development. Group Delta is the lead geotechnical engineering, materials testing and inspection firm for this project. Services provided also included seismic and foundation recommendations.

Projects ranged from between 2-6 months and included infrastructure and cosmetic improvements under the “JOC” program.
pertinent specifications that are required during construction. 13 City of Anaheim Convention Center Expansion, Anaheim, California The Anaheim Convention Center’s expansion added 200,000 sf of space to host concurrent events, capture new business, and retain current clients. The project included additional parking and a connecting bridge between the existing convention center and the expansion. There are now two levels of highly flexible, multi-use space in the new center. Group Delta managed, and was responsible for, all inspection and materials testing including coordination of shop welding, non-destructive testing (NDT) in several states outside California. We conducted observation of hundreds of auger cast piles. Group Delta also provided noise and vibration monitoring during the construction phase.

Naples Island Permanent Seawall Repair, Phase 2, Long Beach, California
Group Delta was hired to perform construction inspection of the installation of 2,148 linear feet of new steel sheet-pile seawall on the water sides of the existing vertical seawalls at The Colonnade, the south side and eastern end of Treasure Island, and the western end of the Naples Peninsula. Additional scope includes new sidewalks, guardrails, storm drain systems, lighting, new float access platform supports and modifications, temporary storage/relocation of docks, and replacement of approximately 42 palm trees.

Peter’s Canyon Bikeway Extension, Orange and Tustin, California Group Delta performed a geotechnical investigation and development of a preliminary foundation report for retaining walls to facilitate space for a Class I bike path that starts on the west side of Jamboree Rd from Canyon View Ave to Pioneer Road. The bike path continues as a Class II bike path from Jamboree Rd along Pioneer Rd that requires only minor re-striping. The geotechnical investigation required limited access tripod drilling to provide access to the wall location and to minimize environmental impact to the existing vegetation since the drilling was advanced in the Peters Canyon Regional Park.

Storm Drain Improvements for Plaza Serena & Granada Court, Ontario, California
The City of Ontario proposed to construct three storm drain projects: Vineyard Avenue at the intersection of the existing Inland Empire Boulevard. The proposed storm drain line was anticipated to be 15 feet below street surface; Bon View Avenue from the intersection of Riverside Drive and Bon View Avenue. The proposed storm drain line was anticipated to be 20 feet below street surface; and Parco Avenue from the intersection of Riverside Drive and Parco. The proposed storm drain line was anticipated to be 15 feet below street surface. Group Delta performed field exploration, laboratory testing and engineering analyses to provide geotechnical information for the storm drain extension project reinforced soil slope (RSS) with improved surface and subsurface drainage.

Group Delta provided observation and engineering support during construction. 14 6. REFERENCES
