4. Work Plan
Based on our review of the Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQ/P), the City Hall Renovation Project – Phase I consists of demolishing the existing Fire Administration Building located at 17001 Upland Avenue in Fontana and constructing a new two- story municipal building. The new building will include a first tier parking structure that will accommodate approximately 65 parking spaces and office spaces will be constructed on the second tier. Each level of the new building will have an approximate footprint of 33,000 square feet. We anticipate that additional improvements associated with the project will include new utilities and new pavements adjacent to the new building.

In preparation of this proposal, we have reviewed regional geologic and seismic data for the site vicinity which indicate that the site is underlain by Holocene-age sand and gravel young alluvial fan deposits. The depth to groundwater in the site vicinity is on the order of 500 feet. Due to the relatively deep groundwater, the site is not located within a County of San Bernardino liquefaction hazard zone. No active faults are known to cross the site and the site is not located within a mapped earthquake fault zone.

Based on our understanding of the project and the information presented above, we have prepared the following scope of services. Our geotechnical consulting and materials testing services will be performed in accordance with the 2019 California Building Code, Greenbook Specifications for public works construction, and current standards of practice. Our technical approach for the Phase I geotechnical design services for the project will include a thorough review of background materials, a subsurface exploration program consisting of four soil borings, laboratory testing of soil samples, geotechnical engineering analysis of the data collected, and preparation of a geotechnical evaluation report. In accordance with the RFQ/P, our services for Phase II of the project includes geotechnical and materials testing services as part of our role as the geotechnical engineer of record for the project.

Task 2 – Field Exploration
• Subsurface exploration consisting of the drilling, logging and sampling of four hollow-stem auger borings using truck-mounted drilling equipment. We anticipate that one boring will be drilled to depths of approximately 80 feet and three borings will be drilled to depths of approximately 25 feet. The borings will be drilled to the indicated depths, or refusal, whichever is shallower. The borings will be logged by an engineer or geologist from our firm, and bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples will be collected at selected intervals for laboratory testing. In accordance with San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services requirements, the borings will be backfilled with grout. Following completion of drilling, borings performed in paved areas will be patched with rapid-set concrete dyed black or asphalt cold patch.
◦ Excess soil cuttings from the drilling will be placed in 55-gallon drums and temporarily stored at a secure location on-site. Representative samples of the drummed soils will be collected and sent to a laboratory for analytical testing to characterize the soil for disposal purposes. Following characterization, the drummed soils will be transported to an off-site disposal facility by a licensed waste-hauler. It is anticipated that the soil will be classified as non-hazardous waste.

Task 3 – Laboratory Testing
• Geotechnical laboratory testing of selected soil samples, including tests to evaluate in-situ moisture and density, sieve analyses, Atterberg limits, shear strength, consolidation, R-Value, and soil corrosivity, as appropriate.

Task 4 – Geotechnical Engineering Analysis
• Compilation and geotechnical analysis of field and laboratory data, including analyses to evaluate and provide recommendations pertaining to the following:
◦ Suitability of the site for the proposed construction from a geotechnical standpoint. ◦ Description of the geology and soils anticipated at the site. ◦ Evaluation of the site seismicity and geologic hazards that may impact the project improvements. 2019 California Building Code (CBC) seismic design coefficients will be presented. Seismic hazards to be evaluated will include the potential for fault rupture, soil liquefaction and dynamic settlement potential. The Site Class will be identified in accordance with the 2019 CBC. ◦ Evaluation of the depth to groundwater as encountered in our borings and our review of regional data.
◦ Excavation characteristics of the on-site materials, including anticipated difficult excavation, caving potential, and oversize material handling.
◦ Excavation stability and appropriate shoring systems. Excavations will be evaluated with respect to existing improvements and underground utilities. Shoring design criteria will include allowable lateral earth pressures, allowable passive pressures, and allowable settlement ◦ Fill material and compaction requirements, including suitability of the on-site soils for use as structural fill, bedding material, and trench backfill. ◦ Geotechnical engineering design parameters for the proposed building foundations and retaining walls (if proposed), including allowable bearing capacity values, lateral earth pressures, and estimated total and differential settlement. Foundation recommendations will be provided for footing foundation, mat foundations, and/or pile foundations, as appropriate. ◦ Geotechnical constructability issues and protection of existing facilities. ◦ Structural pavement design for asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete, if new parking is proposed.
◦ Evaluation of the corrosion potential of on-site soils.
