Ghirardelli will provide resident engineering (part time) and construction inspection (full time).
PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Ghirardelli’s Resident Engineer will organize a pre-construction conference with the Contractor, subcontractors, City staff, Designer, construction management (CM) team members, and other interested parties to discuss the project and the work involved.

Ghirardelli’s Resident Engineer will prepare an agenda and meeting minutes.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Ghirardelli’s Resident Engineer will manage the day-to-day administration of the project. The Resident Engineer, as appropriate, will be the first point of contact with the Contractor, representing the City and the CM team. The Resident Engineer will:

The Resident Engineer will review and respond to submittals and RFIs in coordination with the City’s Project Manager; review and monitor the Contractor’s schedule; review of traffic control plans and inspection of traffic control measures; review the Contractor’s compliance with all permits, stormwater regulations and permits (SWPPP), and environmental documents; review the Contractor’s compliance with health and safety standards and regulations and reporting of non-compliance; and monitor record documents to ensure proper maintenance and completion by the Contractor. At the conclusion of each week's work, a Weekly Statement of Working Days (WSWD) will be submitted to both the Contractor and City staff.
Project Coordination/Meetings
Ghirardelli with coordinate with City’s Transportation Division to review traffic control plan submittals; coordinate progress meetings with the Contractor; coordinate with utility agencies, as needed; and coordinate project issues with the City Project Manager and third parties, as needed. Ghirardelli’s Resident Engineer will hold weekly meetings with the Contractor, City staff and other interested parties. The Resident Engineer will prepare and distribute weekly project meeting agendas and minutes to attendees, District staff, and Designer.
Scheduling
Ghirardelli’s Resident Engineer will review the Contractor's baseline schedule and determine its conformance with the plans and specifications. We will constantly review the plans and specifications to determine whether the Contractor is constructing the project correctly and in accordance with the intent of the City. We will "look ahead" to prepare for specific project tasks to protect the City against defects and deficiencies resulting from inferior workmanship and materials. Close adherence to the plans, details and all applicable specifications is required in order to properly construct and administer the project. Activities include, but are not limited to, maintaining continuous agency coordination, issuing notices of non-compliance, maintaining strict adherence to all local policies, conducting a daily review of the construction operations, conducting reviews of all disputes and potential claims, and adhering to all City and State standards and construction guidelines.
Safety Meetings
Safety Meetings (tailgate) will be scheduled for the CM staff. Regular attendees will be the resident engineer, inspector, and other interested parties. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss safety aspects with regard to currently project operations and site conditions as well as public and personal safety and any concerns. We will also require weekly (at minimum) safety meetings by the construction contractor’s crew and will monitor their compliance with this requirement. Whenever possible, the Ghirardelli resident engineer and inspector will attend the Contractor's safety meetings. A written record of attendance and the subjects discussed as well as recommendations and actions will be prepared and filed in the project records.
Contractor Requests for Information
As the work progresses, the Contractor may submit RFIs or RFCs. These requests will be forwarded to the appropriate party(s) for review and the response provided to the Contractor in a timely manner. Document control logs will be utilized to document and monitor the request until completed. The key to success is prompt review and timely response so that the City’s interest in cost and schedule are kept in consideration. By Ghirardelli’s close monitoring of and coordinating the follow-up of all RFls, we will help to prevent potential delays and/or changes to the project schedule or scope. Document logs will be maintained for correspondence, submittals/shop drawings, RFls, RFCs, change orders and disputes and potential claims.
Construction Inspection
Close adherence to the plans, details, and all applicable specifications is required in order to properly construct and administer the project. Activities include, but are not limited to, maintaining continuous City coordination, issuing notices of non-compliance, maintaining strict adherence to all local policies, conducting a daily review of the Construction Management for Anza Pump Station Rebuild Project (C036) for the City of Pacifica www.ghirardelliassoc.com
construction operations, and adhering to all applicable contract specifications and standards to include City, State and Federal.
Ghirardelli’s inspector will prepare a daily report for each construction day. The inspector’s daily reports (including the reports from material testers) will be provided to the Resident Engineer. This information will be used for the preparation and evaluation of the monthly progress estimates, non-compliance issues, construction delays, compliance tests, CPM schedule review, liquidated damages, and claims. The daily reports will be reviewed for the following factual information:
• Date, project identification, contractor’s name, subcontractor’s name(s), and time of inspections. • Conditions (weather, moisture, soil, etc.); any inclement weather conditions that hampered or delayed the contractor’s operations.
• Activities detail. Scheduled activities including starting and completion dates. Bid item numbers of all activities should be listed in the daily report.

• Record of manpower, construction equipment, and materials testing locations and results.
Material Test Data and Certificate of Compliance
The resident engineer will review all Contractor-provided manufacturers' shop or mill test certificates, including test reports from independent materials testing laboratories to verify compliance with the Contract specifications.
Certificate of compliance will be obtained for all materials for which the specifications require their submittal as well as for the basis of acceptance of materials which are to be inspected and released at the project site.
POST CONSTRUCTION
Our project team will work closely with the design engineer, City staff and other stake holders to help to ensure that the project closeout proceedings are performed quickly, accurately and consistently, in accordance with all pertinent policies and procedures. We will review and monitor the Contractor's submittal information respective to the closeout, such as "as-built" information, final progress payment, warranties, guarantees, bond reduction, punch list preparation, etc. Our inspector will perform a final inspection and assure all items from the punch list are completed.
Under the direction of the Resident Engineer, our inspector will provide City staff with an original set of construction documents, cataloged in accordance with the Caltrans file management system, which includes all documented correspondence, diaries, reports, photos, correspondence, contract documents, labor compliance, materials, material tests, change orders, progress payment and survey records, etc. for storage by the City.

The City’s goal is to maintain one travel lane and one bike lane in each direction during this time. However, some short-term lane closures may be required. In addition, the Hendy Avenue underpass area will be closed during early construction phases (approximately 8-10 months) to help expedite the overall construction schedule. Pedestrian access over the Caltrain corridor will be maintained until bridge construction is complete.
Kato Road Grade Separation (C222)
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority; Fremont and Milpitas, CA Structures Representative | This was a grade separation project for the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) extension to Silicon Valley, and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR).

Deep soil-mix retaining walls were constructed to lower the road profile. The project included a shoofly for UPRR and constructed a box culvert adjacent to a new housing development, within a few feet of an existing home. The project also included a pump station, bio-swale, tree-well filters, irrigation and landscaping.
