CITY OF NEWARK, ON-CALL GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING & MATERIALS TESTING Client Contact: Jayson Imai (Former Assistant City Engineer, City of Newark; current City Engineer, City of San Leandro): (510) 577-3428, [email protected]; Michael Carmen, Assistant Engineer, City of Newark, (510) 678-4320, [email protected]
Geocon currently provides on-call geotechnical engineering and materials testing services to the City of Newark under a multi-year, task order-based agreement supporting roadway rehabilitation, utility improvements, public facility construction, and other capital improvement projects. Services are delivered on an as-needed basis and coordinated directly with City engineering and inspection staff to support active construction schedules and short-duration assignments.
Prior to the current on-call contract, Geocon completed a design-level geotechnical investigation for the City’s new Civic Center, evaluating liquefaction potential and developing ground improvement recommendations. During construction, we provided geotechnical observation and materials testing services associated with site grading and installation of vibratory stone columns for ground improvement. Services included field density testing, laboratory testing, submittal review, and evaluation of shoring and temporary support systems to confirm compliance with project specifications and applicable standards.
Materials testing services performed under this agreement are performed in accordance with ASTM standards, California Testing Methods, and applicable agency requirements. Field and laboratory coordination is managed to ensure timely communication of results and documentation to support construction decision-making and maintain project schedules. Representative projects have included:
2025 AC Repairs: Geocon provided quality assurance (QA) materials testing for the City’s 2025 AC Repairs project. Services included in-place density testing of recently completed asphalt pavement repairs at various locations throughout the City. Field compaction testing of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) repairs was performed in accordance with project requirements, with results compared to theoretical maximum density values provided by the City.
2024 AC Overlay: Geocon performed quality assurance (QA) materials testing for the City’s 2024 AC Overlay. The project included the placement of approximately 4,300 tons of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) on various streets throughout the City. Pavement patching was also conducted in isolated locations throughout the project limits. Geocon’s services included field testing and sampling during construction and HMA placement, and laboratory materials testing.

C. WORK PLAN
1. APPROACH AND WORK PLAN
Geocon understands that the City of Manteca requires responsive, on-call materials testing services to support a variety of development and capital improvement projects. Services will be performed on an as-needed, task order basis and will require coordination with City staff, inspectors, and contractors to support active construction schedules. Timely mobilization, accurate testing, and clear reporting are critical to maintaining project schedules and supporting construction decisions.
Geocon’s Northern California operations are supported by five offices located in Stockton, Livermore, Suisun City, Rancho Cordova, and Rocklin, staffed by approximately 80 engineers, geologists, inspectors, laboratory personnel, and field technicians with experience supporting municipal public works programs.
Accredited laboratory facilities and field equipment are maintained to support testing of soils, aggregate, asphalt, concrete, grout, and other construction materials in accordance with applicable standards.
Geocon currently maintains multiple active on-call contracts with similar scope and delivery methods.
These assignments routinely involve short-duration task orders and overlapping construction schedules.
Workload is managed through centralized project management and coordinated dispatch operations, allowing personnel to be assigned based on technical expertise, proximity, and availability while maintaining continuity of service.
2. TASK ORDER EXECUTION AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Upon receipt of a task order, Geocon will coordinate with City staff to confirm scope, schedule, and testing requirements. The Project Manager will assign appropriate personnel and coordinate mobilization of field and laboratory resources based on project needs and required certifications.
Field technicians perform testing and observation services in accordance with ASTM standards, California Testing Methods, and project specifications, including in-place density testing, materials sampling, and documentation of construction activities. Samples are collected under established chain-of-custody procedures and transported to Geocon’s accredited laboratory for analysis.
Laboratory testing includes gradation, moisture-density relationships, compressive strength testing, asphalt binder content, air voids, and other required material properties. Laboratory personnel coordinate closely with field staff to ensure timely processing and reporting of results.
Data are compiled into formal reports and reviewed by a licensed professional engineer prior to issuance to the City. The Project Manager maintains communication with City staff throughout the assignment to provide updates, address field conditions, and respond to contractor inquiries or unforeseen site conditions.
Geocon also provides consultation for unexpected subsurface conditions, contractor RFIs, and emergency repair work, including rapid mobilization and expedited laboratory testing when required to support ongoing construction activities.

On-Call Materials Testing Services
Services are performed in a coordinated and consistent manner across all assignments to ensure clear alignment between scope and execution. The work plan described below is structured to align with the Scope of Services identified in the RFP and reflects Geocon’s standard approach to delivering on-call materials testing services under task order-based agreements:
Upon authorization of a task order, Geocon will coordinate with City staff to confirm scope, schedule, testing requirements, and reporting expectations. The Project Manager will assign appropriate personnel based on required certifications, project location, and availability, and will coordinate mobilization of field and laboratory resources.
Field services will be scheduled to support active construction operations, including observation and testing of earthwork, aggregate base, asphalt, and concrete materials in accordance with project specifications. Field personnel will document testing activities and communicate results to the Project Manager and City staff as work progresses.
Collected samples will be transported to Geocon’s accredited laboratory under established chain-ofcustody procedures. Laboratory testing will be performed in accordance with ASTM standards, California Testing Methods, and applicable agency requirements. Results will be reviewed by senior technical staff and a licensed professional engineer prior to issuance.
The Project Manager will maintain ongoing communication with City staff throughout the task order to provide status updates, address field conditions, and coordinate responses to contractor inquiries or unforeseen site conditions.
Upon completion of the task order, Geocon will provide final testing documentation and summaries as required to support project closeout and acceptance.
III. QUALITY CONTROL AND SCHEDULE CONTROL
Geocon implements a comprehensive quality assurance and quality control program to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with project requirements. All field and laboratory data are independently reviewed by senior technical staff and a licensed professional engineer prior to release.
Approximately 10 to 15 percent of total project effort is devoted to QA/QC and project management activities, including data verification, report review, and compliance confirmation.
Testing and reporting are performed in accordance with ASTM standards, California Testing Methods, and applicable City and Caltrans requirements. Standardized procedures, calibrated equipment, and certified personnel are utilized to maintain consistency and reliability of results.
Schedule control is maintained through coordinated field and laboratory operations, proactive communication with City staff, and efficient dispatch of personnel based on project needs. Geocon monitors task order schedules and adjusts staffing levels as necessary to meet project timelines, including support for short-duration assignments and overlapping construction activities. Laboratory and field coordination ensures timely delivery of results to support construction progress and decision-making.
