Caltrans, 710 Improvements in Los Angeles County
This project was extremely time-sensitive as Caltrans had only a 53-hour weekend window to perform the work and reopen the freeway. On this basis, Caltrans requested that Twining provide in-the-field geotechnical engineering oversight during the operations to provide on-the-spot recommendations for remediating the poor subgrade conditions, achieving compaction of the subgrade and base materials, and raising productivity. Twining provided a registered geotechnical engineer, Paul Soltis, to oversee the subgrade preparation and compaction of subgrade soil and aggregate base. Paul worked closely with Caltrans and the contractor to quickly identify and delineate poor subgrade areas that would require remediation. Twining’s input led to more consistent, reliable compaction test results, hence increased productivity by eliminating time-consuming retesting and/or repairs of subgrade soil and base materials. With Twining’s support, Caltrans and the contractor were able to achieve a stable, compacted platform as required within the highly demanding timeframe.

Paul served as the Geotechnical Engineer of Record for this project.

City of Upland, Arrow Highway Pavement Rehabilitation & Utilities The City of Upland is making improvements to Arrow Highway between Benson Avenue and San Antonio Avenue. Twining provided geotechnical evaluation services. This included providing asphalt concrete pavement coring, identification of sub-surface conditions, geotechnical engineering recommendations, and pavement structural design recommendations.

Paul served as the Principal Geotechnical Engineer.

City of Montclair, Holt Boulevard and Resurfacing Evaluation and Recommendations Reports The evaluation consisted of performing borings through the existing pavement section, collecting samples of the subgrade soil from multiple locations, and performing laboratory testing of retrieved soil samples. Our findings and the results of our engineering analysis were presented in a report. The purpose of Twining’s investigation was to estimate the structural capacity of the existing pavement, investigate existing pavement structural sections, and collect and test subgrade soil samples. Paul served as the Principal Geotechnical Engineer.

Caltrans, State Route 154 & United States 101 in Santa Barbara County Twining was responsible for providing geotechnical investigation, as well as preparing preliminary materials report and foundation report. Paul served as the Geotechnical Engineer of Record for this project.

Higher limits may be available by quotation.

Certified Payroll
Certified payroll will be provided, upon request, at an additional charge of $150.00/month. Fee applies to every month that certified payroll must be submitted regardless of whether or not services were provided for any given month.

Final Reports Required by Jurisdiction
If a final report or affidavit is required, we must first review all inspection and testing reports and clear up any unresolved issues on these reports. These issues will typically require approval by the engineer or architect of record. This process can take several weeks or just a day, depending on the number and complexity of the issues. Cost for final reports will be billed hourly.

Terms of Payment
Fees charged are for professional and technical services and are due upon presentation. If not paid within 30 days from date of invoice, they are considered past due and the maximum legal finance charge will be added to the unpaid balance.

In addition, should the client require that invoices be submitted through a web based or electronic system, the client will be responsible for all costs associated with the use of the system.

A 3% fee will be applied for payments processed by credit card.

All invoice errors or necessary corrections shall be brought to the attention of Twining within 15 days of receipt of invoice. Thereafter, customer acknowledges invoices are correct and valid. Twining reserves the right to terminate its services to a customer without notice if all invoices are not current. Upon such termination of services, the entire amount accrued for all services performed shall immediately become due and payable. Customer waives any and all claims against Twining, its subsidiaries, affiliates, servants, and agents for termination of work on account of these terms.

In the event of any litigation arising from or related to any agreement to provide services whether verbal or written, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all reasonable costs incurred, including staff time, court costs, attorney's fees and all other related expenses in such litigation. Additionally, in the event of a non-adjudicative settlement of litigation between the parties or a resolution of dispute by arbitration, that same process shall determine the prevailing party.

Hold Specimens
All "hold" specimens are charged at the applicable test rate whether tested or not.

Specimen Sampling and Disposal
Twining samples materials used in construction in accordance with standard practices, methods, codes, and relevant project requirements. Representativeness of sampling and same accuracy of testing are subject to the same probabilistic and precision limitations as governing standards, codes and project technical provisions.

Should samples be provided by others Twining cannot warrant or guarantee that material is representative of material that is or will be used in actual construction of the project.

Specimens will be discarded after testing unless Twining has been notified prior to testing that the customer wishes to retrieve the specimens or storage arrangements are made. Costs for storage will be by quotation.

Oversize Specimens
An extra charge will be made when test specimens require more than one person to handle because of size or weight.

Elevated Work Platforms
In the event an elevated work platform is required to safely complete our work, the client must provide safe access for Twining personnel for all required inspection, testing, sampling, etc. including a trained and certified operator or qualified inspector as applicable. Twining will not be responsible for signing waivers associated with providing such access. Should Twining be required to supply an elevated work platform, we will contract with a qualified vendor and the markups shown above will apply.

and technicians.

KERNVILLE LANDFILL, KERNVILLE, CA
Dean worked with the Kern County Waste Management staff to develop an alternate soil cover for the landfill closure. The landfill was in a mountainous
area of Kern County where liner quality soils were
not available. An analysis was performed to design a
cover depth with granular soils that would prevent
the minimal rainfall from impacting the debris and
causing environmental damage or leachate migration.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE, CA
Dean provided engineering services for the University
of California Irvine campus transportation facility. This included evaluating stormwater run-off and disposal.

Stormwater run-off was evaluated from not only the
paved surfaces but also from the roofs of the various
structures. Additional work was required to design a
