Subject: GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATION, MATERIALS TESTING, AND SPECIAL INSPECTION SERVICES REGIONAL NAVIGATION CENTER TENANT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT – DE-24-195-SQ-17 Dear Mr. McGuffey:
Geocon West, Inc. (Geocon) welcomes the opportunity to submit this proposal to the City of Fontana for geotechnical observation, materials testing, and special inspection s ervices for the Regional Navigation Center Tenant Improvements Project. We have the demonstrated technical expertise, project management approach, integrity, and responsiveness necessary to successfully support this important project. For more than 55 years, Geocon has provided geotechnical engineering, engineering geology, materials testing, and special inspection services to public agencies and municipalities throughout Southern California.
Our local Loma Linda office will manage this assignment and partner with the City to provide geotechnical observation, materials testing, and special inspection services during the tenant improvements and adaptive reuse of the existing industrial facility located at 11109 Jasmine Street in Fontana. We understand the project will transform the existing 35,000-square-foot building into a Regional Navigation Center through interior renovations, supporting infrastructure improvements, and associated site work to serve individuals experiencing homelessness.
Our team has successfully provided geotechnical observation, materials testing, laboratory testing, and special inspection services for a wide range of City, County, and special district clients , delivering responsive construction support from site preparation through final project closeout. With experienced project management, accredited laboratory services, and multi-certified inspectors, Geocon is well-positioned to provide the responsive, high-quality support necessary to help keep the project on schedule and in compliance with project requirements.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Geocon understands the Regional Navigation Center Tenant Improvements Project involves the adaptive reuse of an existing 35,000 -square-foot industrial building located at 11109 Jasmine Street in Fontana. The proposed improvements will convert the facility into a Regional Navigation Center through interior renovations and supporting site improvements, including offices, counseling and meeting spaces, commercial kitchen facilities, dining and recreation areas, dormitory -style living quarters, individual livin g units, restrooms, laundry facilities, secured access, and associated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC improvements. Exterior improvements include utility, paving, and other site-related work necessary to support the completed facility.
We understand Geocon will serve as the Geotechnical Engineer of Record (GEOR) during construction, providing geotechnical observation, materials testing, special inspection, laboratory testing, and reporting services to support compliance with the project specifications and applicable California Building Code requirements. Services will include earthwork observation and testing, reinforced concrete inspection, masonry inspection, structural steel inspection, welding and bolting inspection, post -installed an chors, laboratory testing, daily reporting, and preparation of final documentation.
Geocon recognizes that tenant improvement projects require close coordination among City staff, the contractor, and the design team, particularly as construction activities evolve and unforeseen field conditions are encountered.
Our project team is committed to providing responsive scheduling, timely communication, accurate reporting, and practical recommendations to quickly address changing site conditions while minimizing delays and maintaining compliance with the project requirements. Through proactive coordination and dependable field support, Geocon will help keep construction on schedule while delivering high-quality testing and inspection services throughout the project.
PROJECT APPROACH
Geocon has extensive experience providing geotechnical observation, materials testing, special inspection, and construction support services for municipal facilities, tenant improvement projects, adaptive reuse developments, and other public agency projects throughout Southern California. Our team is experienced in coordinating field and laboratory testing, construction observation, and reporting from initial site preparation through final project closeout.
Our in -house accredited laboratory supports efficient sample processing, quality control, and timely reporting throughout construction. By integrating field and laboratory services under one team, Geocon provides responsive communication, consistent documentation, and reliable project support while helping maintain the construction schedule.
STAFFING RESOURCES AND AVAILABILITY : Our staffing approach is structured to provide continuous coverage throughout active construction, with personnel assigned based on certifications, experience, and the specific inspection requirements of each phase of work. This approach allows Geocon to m aintain schedule alignment, respond quickly to changing project needs, and provide reliable inspection and testing services throughout construction.
The key personnel identified in this proposal will remain actively involved throughout the project, providing consistent project management, field oversight, and quality assurance. Supported by Geocon's network of experienced inspectors, technicians, and laboratory personnel, our team has the resources and flexibility to respond to multiple activities occurring simultaneously without impacting responsiveness or quality.
INSPECTION PROCESS: Our Project Manager coordinates directly with the City's representatives, contractor, and project team to schedule inspection and testing services in accordance with the construction schedule. Qualified personnel are assigned based on the work being perfor med and the certifications required for each inspection activity.
