Brief Firm Background
Leighton Consulting is an award-winning geotechnical engineering firm, recognized nationally by Engineering News-Record (ENR) as a 2023 Top Design Firm, that provides geotechnical and materials testing and special inspection services, as well as turnkey geotechnical and environmental engineering.
Leighton has been providing geotechnical services in Southern California for 62 years. Our experience with public agencies extends to local cities, to county, state and federal agencies. In fact, Leighton has worked directly for or on a project in every Riverside County city.
We have also worked with Rancho California Water District, Eastern Municipal Water District, Riverside County Flood Control, and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The Leighton team will be led by Brent Adam, PG, CEG. He will be hands-on, directly engaged, and have responsibility for Leighton’s services throughout the contract. Mr. Adam will take the lead on all engineering tasks to maintain familiarity with the City’s staff and protocols.
Develop Project Specific Scope of Work
As specific project needs arise, requests may be as simple as a phone call or email to our Project Manager, with a brief description of the project, location, and required services, or as a formal written request, depending on the workload and needs of City personnel. A written proposal will then be prepared by Leighton outlining our scope, assumptions, schedule, deliverables, and costs based on our understanding of the project. Upon review and written approval by the City, the scope can be modified as needed and, if necessary, a pre-job meeting can be held to discuss project details and coordination.
A quality control plan will be implemented specifically for Leighton’s activities on this contract, ensuring assigned personnel are made knowledgeable of, and required to comply with, applicable codes and standards including City (Greenbook) and Caltrans. The quality control plan will reference the minimum criteria for acceptance to confirm that the work inspected, and materials tested by Leighton conform to the respective project’s plans and specifications.
Leighton’s supervisory personnel will oversee quality assurance for the plan.
Tasks and subtasks will be identified and integrated into the schedule, with any areas of overlap identified to increase project efficiency and reduce costs. Our Project Manager will track work progress and costs with respect to completion schedules and communicate the status of the work and related schedule to City personnel weekly, or more often, if needed.

RFP for On-Call Professional Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services scheduling between City personnel and field personnel will be performed by our Project Manager to allow for proper planning of activities.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control Procedures
Critical for a successful project is a complete understanding of project needs and clear definitions of each party’s roles. Our role will be to inspect and test the implementation of approved project plans and specifications, working in conjunction with the City’s project manager or the assigned representative. We understand our role to perform material testing and geotechnical services in accordance with Caltrans and/or City (Greenbook) standards for public improvement projects. Leighton may also be requested to evaluate existing infrastructure and prepare a formal report presenting options and recommendations to mediate or address any problems.
Leighton may also be asked to provide core sampling services on existing pavements to determine pavement thickness, base material, and subgrade soil conditions/strength. A final report will be prepared with all relevant data on an as-needed basis. If needed, traffic control will be provided in accordance with the WATCH or MUTCD Manual and comply with all USA Alert requirements. All core holes will be backfilled and patched with PCC concrete (560-C-3250) flush with existing surfaces. We will mobilize services for this project, from our nearby Temecula office.
Field Documentation and Control
Leighton uses MetaField as a networked and integrated Field Information Management System (FIMS) and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). This eliminates the need for paper in the field, laboratory and/or office; although we can print out anything 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 to e-mail data typically as a PDF, or post data on a web page for your independent and secure access, in real time.
Field staff will be mobilized from our nearby Temecula 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. Field staff either accepts or declines assignments based on their current work backlog, and scheduling is viewed on a MetaField calendar for project managers to review and coordinate.
Project Approach
Our goal for every project is to deliver a technically excellent work product that achieves optimal benefits for the City. Key to achieving this goal is effective communication with the City and all stakeholders throughout the course of the project. We find that client input is invaluable in streamlining our processes and developing recommendations that attain a client-specific balance between what is ideal and what is cost-effective. As such, we will initiate and maintain close coordination with the City and ensure that all work products are initially submitted in draft form to solicit input from City staff before finalization. 7

GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOLOGICAL SERVICES
Subsurface Exploration
For projects that require exploration and characterization of the subsurface conditions, we will perform a literature review of our in-house data and City files for prior projects in the vicinity of the subject site, as well as review pertinent, readily available data contained in our in-house library (“desktop study”) which comprises published and unpublished geologic and seismic hazard maps, topographic and soil surveys, aerial photos and digital data from previous investigations and site surveys. Most of this library is now available in a searchable electronic format though our intranet, using key words, exact phrases, and UTM coordinates. We also have a streamlined geographical information system (GIS) that overlays all available project data onto digital topographic surveys, enabling us to plan the exploration accordingly to meet the project design objectives.
Preliminary desktop research, combined with a site reconnaissance, is performed prior to any subsurface exploration taking place. This approach allows significant geotechnical constraints to be identified and comprehensively appraised prior to initiating a field exploration program and allows us to refine our exploration program to eliminate unnecessary drilling or other field work.
Engineering Geology
The Leighton Team considers geologic/seismic
hazards studies one of our team’s key strengths. We
have demonstrated specialized skills and capabilities
above and beyond our competitors. Our engineering
geologists have unmatched field mapping experience
derived from years of mapping thousands of acres of
undeveloped hillside and flatland terrain in southern
California. For example, our detailed logging and
dating of strata for a recent fault rupture hazard
investigation convinced CGS to de-classify a portion
of the Malibu Coastal fault zone as an active fault.
Geotechnical Studies, Analysis and Recommendation Development Our approach to developing recommendations is to perform sufficiently rigorous analysis to produce refined solutions that are simple to understand and implement. We understand that the success of our work ultimately rests on our ability to properly procure, process, and analyze subsurface data to provide effective recommendations in a manner and format useful to the City. Our standard approach includes providing logs of explorations and preliminary recommendations as draft deliverables to the City before finalizing to verify that the required information is provided fully and in the proper manner, including geotechnical design details for foundations, pipelines, retaining structures, excavations, slopes, embankments, and roadways. Mitigation of geologic/seismic hazards impacting the project and recommendations for ground improvement or structural enhancement will be provided. Construction constraints and solutions such as rippability and blasting, vibration damage threshold, seepage, infiltration, and dewatering will be delineated.

GEOTECHNICAL LABORATORY TESTING
Leighton has three laboratories (Temecula, Irvine, and San Diego) with an extensive inventory of equipment and cross-trained staff that can handle many types of samples and tests. Our ability to load-level our tests between laboratories allows us to accept large volumes of samples and be more responsive to our client’s needs when rapid turn-around times are needed.
We perform a full spectrum of geotechnical soil testing in-house, including, but not limited to:
Moisture/Density Direct Shear
Specific Gravity Triaxial Shear
Particle Size Analyses Consolidation/Swell
Atterberg Limits Stabilometer (R-value)
Compaction Falling and Constant Head Permeability
The quality of our laboratory is controlled using certification programs AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL), California Division of the State Architect (DSA), Caltrans (District 8), among others. The quality of our analyses is controlled using verification forms that require stand-alone, fully reviewed engineering calculation packages to support design recommendations.

In addition to the core geotechnical services described above that are expected to be provided as part of the on-call contract, we understand that other consulting services associated with geotechnical and geologic consulting services may be required. These services might include:
Geotechnical Construction Observation and Testing Services:
Geotechnical field observation and testing services will be performed as either field verification of the quality control measures implemented by the contractor is in compliance with the applicable plans and specifications; however, it is not our intent to provide supervision or direction of the contractor or the contractor’s sub-contractors.
Safety of our personnel at the project site is of paramount importance. Although safety is considered to be the
responsibility of the Contractor, we will notify the project superintendent of the Contractor whenever we are on site to assist in monitoring on-site personnel. We also provide our field representatives with conventional and customary personal protection for similar construction sites, including a hard hat, yellow/orange vest, and eye protection, and they will wear hard sole shoes. We will accommodate any additional personal protection if required at specific sites and projects.
Pavement Evaluation and Design: Pavement evaluation and repair within existing City streets are anticipated under this on-call contract. Leighton staff have worked on many streets within City limits and provided evaluation and design of existing pavement. Upon request, we will submit our approach, scope, and fee, and meet with City staff to discuss project details, coordination, and expected deliverables, as needed. 9

RFP for On-Call Professional Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services Remedial Grading Plan Preparation: Although Geotechnical Engineers provide essential input for all grading plans, such plans are more routinely prepared by general-practice Civil Engineering firms. On occasion, however, grading consists only of geotechnical remediation earthwork, such as for landslide stabilization. In these cases, Leighton has and will assume the lead on designing slope stabilization buttresses and/or other remedial earthwork and will prepare final design stabilization grading plans in house (CADD), possibly with assistance from a civil engineering subconsultant for Professional Land Surveying (PLS) services and minor general civil engineering support to establish property boundaries and easements.
Peer Review: Leighton will provide Third Party review services to assist the City in the evaluation of geotechnical reports prepared by others. We do this routinely for our other clients. Based upon our review, we will provide written comments and recommendations to the City for additional analysis, if needed. In addition, we will attend meetings with the technical team to discuss project priorities and progress. For Third Party reviews to add value, a mentorship attitude, rather than competitive attitude, is required. We only provide comments that are necessary to ensure compliance and result in enhanced public safety, avoiding any real or perceived bias against other involved professionals.
Value Engineering (VE): Leighton will evaluate several alternatives for geotechnical design to ensure appropriate cost-effective measures are implemented when appropriate.
Drafting Services: Leighton has full in-house drafting capabilities utilizing AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, and analytical/visualization tools such as ArcGIS, Modflow, Rockworks, and gINT software. We possess the full array of information technology and field equipment necessary to successfully support large-scale, geospatial dataintensive projects such large pipelines in complex geologic areas. One of our unique strengths has been the pioneering use of GIS technology to improve data quality, spatial analytics, reduce costs, improved efficiencies, and increased productivity. All digital data associated with the work is stored in a geospatial format for easy reuse, collaboration, and presentation. Additionally, we can use computer graphics to visually convey the results of our studies. Illustrations and report graphics are developed utilizing a variety of data imaging and geospatial analysis software. Boundaries, delineations, visualizations, and proposed land uses are compiled and viewed in a GIS platform, using ArcGIS, AutoCAD Map, and other leading geospatial software.
Maps, site plans and GIS platforms are created in ArcGIS 10.x and AutoCAD Map. 10

I-215 / Keller Road Interchange
MURRIETA, CA | 02/2015 - Ongoing
In support of this interchange project, Leighton initially completed a Preliminary Initial Site Assessment (ISA) of the project vicinity, including a former dry farming and orchard site that was being considered for potential right-of-way acquisition. Based on what we observed during the site reconnaissance, we determined that the project does have potential hazardous waste involvement and recommended a full ISA during the PA/ED phase, along with surveys for Aerially Deposited Lead (ADL), asbestos, and lead-based paint.
During the PA/ED phase, Leighton provided both geotechnical and environmental services. Our geotechnical scope of services involved research, site reconnaissance, and analysis for a Structure Preliminary Geotechnical Report (SPGR), reviewed and approved by Caltrans. The purpose of the SPGR is to provide a preliminary analysis of the proposed widening of the bridge over Keller Road and retaining wall type selection analysis. Leighton also completed a Preliminary Geotechnical Design Report and Preliminary Materials Report, of which were reviewed and approved by Caltrans. For our environmental services, Leighton completed an ADL survey as well as a full ISA to assess the existing site conditions and nature of the neighboring property development within 0.25 miles of the project area from public rights-of-way and accessible areas.
Currently, Keller Road does not have any connections to the freeway. The I-215/Keller Road Interchange project proposes to construct a new interchange to accommodate forecasted traffic demand and to provide improved connectivity to the regional transportation system. Five (5) build alternatives are being considered:
• Alternative 1 – No Build
• Alternative 2 – Spread Diamond Interchange (Type L-2) • Alternative 3 – Partial Cloverleaf Interchange (Type L-9) CLIENT

2. Continuous observation and compaction testing during rubberized hot-mix asphalt (ARHM) paving to verify that 95 percent relative compaction was achieved. Asphalt samples were also obtained during paving operations to conduct laboratory testing to determine the maximum density of the sampled materials and to verify compliance with project specifications.
3. Observation and sampling of slurry seal materials for laboratory testing. Wet track abrasion specimens were cast and field consistency testing was completed immediately after sampling the material. Following the field testing procedures, the wet-track abrasion specimens and the slurry samples were immediately transported to our geotechnical laboratory.
4. Laboratory water content and residual asphalt testing was conducted on samples of slurry seal material to determine if the materials were in compliance with project specifications. The results of our residual asphalt tests were used to determine the calculated emulsion content of the sampled slurry seal.
5. Daily field reports were prepared by our technicians and submitted to the construction inspector. Our daily field reports outlined the construction activities observed, compaction testing results, and general construction progress.
6. Preparation and submittal of a final compaction and materials testing report following the notice of completion of construction.

Project Information: The Moonridge Road Improvements project was comprised of the installation of new underground storm drain and water line improvements on Moonridge Road between Rathbun Drive and Clubview Drive, in the city of Big Bear Lake. Following installation of the underground utility improvements, the segment of Moonridge road associated with the project was demolished and reconstructed. Reconstruction measures included full depth reclaimation of in-place roadway materials (asphalt, aggregate base, and subgrade soil) to create a pulverized base material. The pulverized base material was then mixed with cement and water to create a cement stabilized pulverized base (CSPB) material.
Following the curing period for the newly constructed CSPB subgrade, the roadway areas were paved with either hot-mix asphalt or concrete.
Scope ofServices: LORprovided on-call geotechnical, compaction testing, and materials testing services. The services that were provided during construction included, but were not limited to, the following:
1. Periodic geotechnical observation and compactiontesting during backfill operations for trenches that were excavated to construct the proposed storm drain and water improvements.
2. Representative sampling of the CSPB materials that were created during the roadway reclaimation process.
3. Field maximum density testing of the CSPB materials that were sampled during the roadway reclaimation process. The core that was created during field maximum density testing was immediately transported to our geotechnical laboratory for compressive strength testing.
4. Laboratory curing, preparation, and compressive strengthtesting of the CSPB cores that were fabricated onsite to verify that a 7-day compressive strength of 400 psi was achieved.
5. Representative sampling of the onsite soil and aggregate base materials that were encountered during compaction testing operations. The samples were transported to our geotechnical laboratory to determine the maximum density and optimum moisture content of the samples.

Project Information: This project included the replacement and widening of an existing bridge that crossed the Perris Valley Storm Channel at Nuevo Road in Perris, California.
Grading was performed within the adjacent channel walls to construct maintenance vehicle entrances into the channel. This project also included the associated roadway improvements involved with the realignment of the bridge crossing. Modifications to the existing underground storm drain line, sewer, and water line were also included in the scope of this project.
Scope of Services: LOR provided on-call geotechnical, compactiontesting, and laboratory materials testing services. The services that were provided for the subject project included, but were not limited to, the following:
1. LOR provided a preliminary subsurface field investigation. During our investigation we used a track-mounted drill rig equipped with 8-inch hollow stem augers to drill borings at 7 locations. The depth of our borings ranged from 26.5- to 61.5-feet below ground surface. During drilling operations our geologist logged subsurface conditions and obtained relatively undisturbed ring samples and bulk soil samples.
2. Laboratory testing was conducted on the soil samples that were obtained during our preliminary geotechnical site investigation. Testing was completed in order to obtain the necessary data to develop our geotechnical recommendations for foundation design and construction.
3. Preparation and submittal of a preliminary geotechnical investigation report to present the methodology of our site investigation, the data obtained during our laboratory testing, and our recommendations for construction of the project.
4. Attendance of the pre-construction meeting to consult with authorized employees, agents, and representatives of our client and other agencies having jurisdiction relative to the geotechnical field observations, compaction testing, and materials testing services of the project.

5. Laboratory testing to determine the maximum density and optimum moisture of onsite soils and imported aggregate base materials. The results were used to determine relative compaction results when compaction testing in-situ soils.
6. Laboratory testing of aggregate base materials to determine compliance with the project specifications.Aggregate base materials used on this project were subjected to sand equivalent, sieve analysis, and R-value testing to verify that the materials were in compliance with project specifications.
7. Laboratory quality compliance testing of a representative sample of soil material used as backfill behind site walls. The soil materials were tested to verify that it was suitable to use as backfill soil behind the proposed retaining walls.
8. Sampling and testing of ready-mix PCC that was delivered to the project and used to construct improvements.
9. Laboratory curing, preparation, and compressive strength testing of concrete cylinder specimens that were fabricated during PCC, grout, and mortar placement.
10. Continuous observation and compaction testing during site grading operations that were conducted to construct earth work to accommodate the new parkway areas, temporary platforms, and a stream gauge system.
11. Periodic site visits by a geologist following the parkway area removals and pile cap area excavations to verify the soil conditions encountered during construction were consistent with those previously documented in the project subsurface soils investigation report.
12. Periodic observation of footing trench excavations to verify the in-place soil conditions were consistent with those noted in the subsurface soils investigation report and were founded within competent native soils, or engineered compacted fill placed during grading operations.
13. Continuous observation and compaction testing during backfill operations for the trenches used to construct the underground sewer, water, and storm drain improvements.
