Brian has directly overseen more than $5 billion of work on more than 100 individual projects that he has managed throughout his 25-year career. These projects include the installation of more than 150,000-cy of rapid strength concrete, more than 50 lane miles of concrete barrier, precast concrete, continually reinforced concrete, bridge repairs, approach slabs, and minor structures. Brian has been directly involved in multiple emergency projects that implemented specialty materials to ensure the extremely short turnaround times required by project owners were met.

Relevant Experience
Sacramento Regional Sanitation District, Echowater Project, Sacramento County, CA
Brian provides project management, budget and scope oversight, and resource coordination for this $2 billion Sacramento County water treatment project. RMA is delivering quality assurance materials testing and special inspections for site preparation and multiple facility phases, including earthwork, pavements, masonry, HMA placement, and extensive field and shop structural steel welding. The project will enhance regional water quality and provide long‑term environmental protection for the Sacramento area.

SFMTA / BART / CALTRANS / MUNI, Van Ness Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Corridor, San Francisco, CA Brian served as Project Manager, coordinating resources and personnel to deliver this two‑mile mixed‑use bus rapid transit corridor. The project included construction of a center‑running dedicated busway, roadway and streetscape improvements, sidewalk reconstruction, and new landscaping. Work also encompassed utility excavation and shoring, trench backfill, installation of overhead catenary systems, station platforms, and new signal and street lighting, with pavement installations reviewed for compliance with agency standards.

VTA / BART, Civil & Station Improvements, Santa Clara Alum Rock BRT Project, San Jose, CA Brian provided project oversight, resource coordination, and quality assurance for this project. RMA supplied a quality control manager to the site and a full-time inspection team for site improvements including private and public utility relocations; construction of embankment, drainage improvements, retaining walls, and sanitary sewer; and grading, drainage, and paving of streets and parking lots. Additionally, RMA’s geotechnical engineer performed a geotechnical investigation to prepare a report with recommendations for alternate structural sections for varying subbase and subgrade treatment options due to varying soil conditions at the site. Additional inspections and testing included structural steel welding of transit kiosks / station structures and miscellaneous.

SFMTA 1270, Sunset Tunnel Trackway Improvements Project, San Francisco, CA Brian served as the Area Manager for this project, coordinating resources and personnel required to see the project to completion. Work conducted on the tunnel was designed to enhance the system’s reliability and efficiency, reduce infrastructure maintenance, and upgrade the seismic performance of the portal retaining walls. Track replacement was required due to rail wear and settlement of the supporting substructure. RMA provided a full-time, experienced quality control manager who collaborated directly with the contractor.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.

CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.

CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.

City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.

Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.

Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.

Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.

Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

5.6 | ON-CALL APPROACH AND METHODOLODY

UNDERSTANDING OF CITY NEEDS
With more than 30 years of experience
providing special inspection and materials
testing for municipal and infrastructure
projects throughout the Bay Area, ISI
understands the demands of this on-call
contract. The City of Richmond needs a
responsive partner that can quickly adapt to
varying project scopes, from a single
inspection or materials test to ongoing
support for major capital improvement
projects while maintaining consistent quality,
communication, and accountability.

Our approach begins by providing a
dedicated Project Manager who reviews each
project scope, schedule, specifications, and
inspection and testing requirements, then
mobilizes the appropriate qualified, multicertified personnel and resources. We work closely with City staff, contractors, and other
project stakeholders to maintain compliance,
identify and resolve issues in the field, and
keep the project moving. Our experience
supporting municipalities under tight
schedules and changing conditions allows us
to provide practical, dependable support
when and where the City needs it.

QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES
ISI’s QA/QC program begins with dispatch,
where GreenBox is used to assign qualified
inspectors based on the required scope,
certifications, and experience. Inspectors
receive the project and inspection details in
advance and, upon arrival, review the
approved plans and specifications before
performing the required work.

Non-conforming items are brought to the
contractor’s attention immediately and,
when possible, corrected while the inspector
is on site. Issues that cannot be resolved are
documented in a Non-Conformance Report
(NCR) and distributed to the contractor,
owner’s representative, and ISI Project
Manager for tracking and follow-up. Field
reports are completed and distributed
promptly, with all inspection reports, test
results, NCRs, and weekly reports maintained
in GreenBox for 24/7 access.

Project Managers review field
documentation and test results for
completeness, consistency, and compliance
before weekly reports are finalized. Failed
tests, discrepancies, and outstanding items
are communicated promptly to the
appropriate project representatives. At
project closeout, an ISI Engineer reviews the
inspection records to confirm required
testing and inspections are complete and
work conforms to the plans, specifications,
and applicable codes before issuing a Final
Affidavit, when requested.

REPORTING METHODS
As previously mentioned, ISI uses GreenBox,
our proprietary cloud-based system, to
provide timely and organized project
reporting. GreenBox connects dispatch, field
reporting, laboratory results, photographs,
and project documentation in one secure,
1350
Request for Proposal
On-Call Materials Testing and
Special Inspection Services
City of Richmond | 12
24/7-accessible platform. Inspectors use
company-issued iPads to complete reports in
the field, attach photographs, and document
inspection results before leaving the site.

Reports and laboratory results are then
uploaded to GreenBox and can be
distributed immediately by email or accessed
through the secure client website. GreenBox
also automatically compiles field reports into
weekly reports and distributes them to the
designated project team.

GreenBox also provides real-time tracking of
non-conforming work and project activity.

When an NCR is issued, the appropriate
project representatives are notified
immediately, while ISI’s Lead Special
Inspector tracks the item through resolution
and closeout. Project Managers can monitor
inspection activity, budgets, invoices, and
outstanding issues through the system,
allowing them to identify potential problems
early and communicate them to the client.

COORDINATION PROCEDURES
Each project is coordinated through an ISI
Project Manager who serves as the primary
point of contact and works with the project
team. Prior to mobilization, ISI confirms the
scope of work, required testing or inspection,
site location, schedule, access requirements,
and any project-specific procedures. During
construction, our staff maintains
communication with the project team
regarding upcoming work, changes in
schedule, outstanding items, and special
inspection and materials testing
requirements.

SCHEDULING & RESPONSIVENESS
With extensive experience working on
municipal and public works projects, ISI
understands the need for thorough
inspection and testing, flexibility in the field,
and coordination that keeps projects
moving. We assign experienced, multicertified Special Inspectors based on each project’s scope and complexity and maintain
staffing flexibility to respond efficiently to
changing needs.

We typically request 24-hour advance notice
but can often respond within hours due to
our local office and laboratory. Our dispatch
line is staffed from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM by
knowledgeable dispatchers who coordinate
inspections, sample pickups, and deliveries
and work to accommodate short-notice
requests whenever possible

SAFETY PROCEDURES
Safety is integrated into every ISI field
assignment. Our personnel follow applicable
OSHA requirements, site-specific safety
plans, and City and contractor safety
procedures. Before entering a site, inspectors
identify potential hazards, site access, traffic
control, excavation, and other projectspecific requirements.

Special Inspectors are authorized to report
unsafe conditions and immediately notify the
appropriate project representative when a
safety concern affects their work. Ongoing
communication between field staff and
project management helps ensure changing
site conditions are addressed throughout
construction.

5.7 | PROJCT TEAM AND STAFFING
ISI has the depth, experience, and local
presence to respond quickly to the City of
Richmond’s on-call needs and support
multiple projects simultaneously. Our
proposed team includes experienced Project
Managers, multi-certified Special Inspectors,
Materials Testing Technicians, and Californialicensed Civil and Geotechnical Engineers.

Our inspectors hold certifications such as
ICC, ACI, AWS/CWI, NICET and Caltrans, to
name a few.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND

STAFFING
ISI’s Project Manager Antoine Megevand, PE
will serve as the primary point of contact for
this on-call. He will provide active oversight
throughout the contract, coordinating
closely with ISI inspectors, laboratory staff,
1352
Request for Proposal
On-Call Materials Testing and
Special Inspection Services
City of Richmond | 14
dispatch, contractors, and City staff to ensure
clear communication and responsive service.

Antoine will oversee scheduling, field and
laboratory operations, quality control,
project budgets, invoices, and re-inspections.

He will attend key meetings, address issues
as they arise, and review project
documentation to ensure accurate and
timely reporting. His hands-on approach and
strong communication will provide the City
with a single, accountable point of contact
from project start through completion.

ISI’s staffing approach emphasizes multicertified Special Inspectors who can efficiently perform multiple inspection and
testing disciplines, reducing the need to
dispatch multiple inspectors and helping
control project costs. Personnel are assigned
based on the specific certifications,
experience, and complexity of each
assignment.

ISI has over 30 addional Special Inspectors if
needed. All ISI inspectors are members of
Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3,
providing access to additional qualified
personnel when required. This staffing depth
allows ISI to support multiple concurrent
projects and respond to accelerated
schedules, overtime, and weekend work
while maintaining the appropriate level of
qualified coverage.

AVAILABILITY AND RESPONSE
As previously metnioned, ISI typically
requests 24-hour advance notice for
inspections and testing, however, our local
Berkeley office and laboratory allow us to
respond to many requests within hours when
needed. Our dispatch line is staffed from 7:00
AM to 5:30 PM by dedicated personnel who
coordinate inspections, sample pickups,
deliveries, and short-notice requests. For
after-hours, weekend, holiday, or emergency
needs, ISI will coordinate resources and
provide an appropriate response based on
the urgency of the project. Emergency
requests are prioritized through our dispatch
and management team, with qualified
personnel mobilized based on availability
and project requirements.

GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE AND

RESOURCES
ISI’s Berkeley headquarters and 10,000 SF
full-service accredited materials testing
laboratory is approxiametly 8 miles away
from the City of Richmond’s facility offices
which will minimize travel and dispatch time
for field personnel. ISI provides a full scope
of service and does not anticipate the need
to utilize any subcontractors for this on-call.

ISI maintains sufficient in-house personnel to
support multiple projects concurrently. If a
specialized service is required, ISI can
supplement its team with qualified personnel
and trusted specialty subcontractors.

This combination of experienced personnel,
local resources, centralized dispatch, and
flexible staffing allows ISI to provide the City
of Richmond with reliable coverage for
routine, short-notice, and emergency
inspection and testing needs.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.

CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.

CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.

City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.

Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.

Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.

Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.

Reporting Requirements

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

5.5 ON-CALL APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
Project Understanding
The City of Richmond is seeking to contract with professional services for special inspection and materials testing to provide services in support of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects, Public Works maintenance projects, port infrastructure projects, wastewater projects, transportation projects, and other City related construction activities. Services will be provided on a task order basis ‘on-call’ or ‘as-needed.’ Services for testing and inspection will be subject to Richmond Municipal Code requirements, California Building Standards Code, Caltrans Standards and Specifications, and all other applicable local, state, and federal requirements. Scope will be, but not limited to, soils testing, asphalt, concrete, steel, structural steel, masonry,
Smith-Emery has extensive experience with on-call and task order contracts – including with some of the largest agencies in the state including Caltrans, CA Department of General Services, CA Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, San Francisco Department of Public Works, and Contra Costa County. We understand the nuances of responding to task orders in a timely manner with responsive qualified personnel that are equipped and ready to go
Quality Control System
The ISO 17020 and 17025 accreditations earned by Smith-Emery ensures that our processes and procedures exceed the stringent requirements for providing inspection and testing services. The resulting product delivered by Smith-Emery is of the highest quality. Our processes and procedures are audited on an annual basis by an external 3rd party; in addition to this qualifying audit, our programs are audited internally and by various clients each year. The continuous improvement resulting from these audits translates into a continuously improving product for our clients. The full Quality Management System (QMS) documentation will be submitted upon being selected; the following sections are highlights from our QMS program:

To ensure that all testing and inspection reports are completed timely, accurately, and fully coordinated, Smith-Emery utilizes our proprietary system, SENow. This system is web-based for easy accessibility. The system generates a tracking number when a dispatch is assigned, or lab test requested which creates a reporting platform. The report is filled out in the system by inspector or lab tech performing the services. Once the report is completed and box checked “completed” an email alert is sent to Project Engineer and Project Manager. After the report is reviewed and approved, and all boxes checked, which can only be done by PE or PM, it is sent out to distribution. SENow is web-based and can be utilized by ALL team members, consultants and any subconsultants.

Tracking Open Items for Resolution
Smith-Emery tracks open items related by utilizing a list of non-conforming (NCR) items and maintaining it throughout the duration of the project, referred to as a rolling punch list. A rolling list is the most common approach to managing open items efficiently and proactively, thereby minimizing the likelihood of having to grapple with large number of NCR items at the end of a major project. A rolling list entails constantly verifying the work status throughout the duration of the project, with a rigid closeout schedule being assigned to each task. Finishing the project error-free requires planning, communication, and managing the punch list throughout the project. We use the list as a communication tool between the general contractor and owner’s project management representative to make clear what outstanding work or issues remain in the construction project. We review the list every day and note items in our daily and weekly inspection reports. 1396

Coordination and Communication
Smith-Emery has provided services on many high-profile, mega projects with billions of dollars of construction. We know successful outcomes depend on many factors. Each project is different, with its own personality and set of challenges. We realize when working on projects with so many elements of work being installed and several trades working almost on top of each other to meet milestones and maintain schedule without delaying the project is only half the battle. Communication will mitigate any misunderstandings. We identify areas where communication could break down and install guardrails.

Safety Management
Construction sites are dangerous places to work. There are always hazards that arise and continually change throughout the construction process. Safety management is the responsibility of everyone on the site. Smith-Emery sets out a safety plan for our staff at the beginning of each project before we step onto the site. Our driving philosophy is to send everyone home at the end of the day as safely as they arrived at the site at the beginning of their shift. Once our plan is set out, we distribute it to our staff as they are assigned to a project. The plan must be reviewed and signed. We hold tailgate safety refreshers before each shift. Company-wide we distribute safety information and topics on a bi-weekly basis.

Estimating, Scheduling and Phasing
Smith-Emery Laboratories’ approach to every project is the realization that we are a part of a much larger project team and that all stakeholders are treated fairly and with respect. Ultimately, the goal of the team is to provide the owner with a product that meets or exceeds the quality standards outlined in the project specification. Smith-Emery would ensure the project team meets the standards by deploying our highly trainedpersonneltobothfieldandmanufacturing facilitiesacross theglobetoperform a variety of tasks from materials source sampling, performing pre-construction audits, and performance of on-site Special Inspection. Smith-Emery Special Inspection teams are backed by our Laboratory Division that offer more than 1,500 unique tests from environmental to materials compliance testing. The keys to our approach are the following areas:

Develop Project Compliance Plan
The project team at Smith-Emery will develop a Project Compliance Plan (PCP) that is unique to each project and addresses the specific challenges involved with the project. Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) risk factorsareassessedforeachtentativelocationfortheproject. The complianceplan will also involve a review of all known stakeholders, subcontractors, and vendors to evaluate potential conflicts of interest. SmithEmery Internal Audit will review contract documents and assess our firm’s ability to meet the project requirements.

Project Requirements and Specification Review
Prior to beginning each task, our Project Manager will review the project requirements and specification for every task order issued to Smith-Emery Laboratories. The Project Manager will develop a resource schedule for the duration of the task to ensure all required testing and inspection requirements are performed by our team. If there are any tests or inspections listed in the project specification that appear to be erroneous, our Project Manager will communicate with the project team to clarify the requirement so that project funds are committed to a superfluous test/inspection. The Project Manager team will also develop a comprehensive budget for each task order based on the required testing and activityduration. Control of the schedule leads to control of the budget.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.

CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.

CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.

City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.

Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.

In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.

Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.

Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

5.2 Firm Summary
Why Achieveng is Especially Qualified
Achieveng understands that the City of Richmond
requires an on-call partner capable of supporting a
diverse portfolio of transportation, wastewater, port,
park, facility, and other public works improvements.

Assignments may vary considerably in size, location,
technical discipline, and urgency. Success will depend
on deploying appropriately qualified personnel,
coordinating closely with City staff and contractors,
communicating noncompliant conditions promptly, and
delivering accurate, traceable reports without delaying construction.

Founded in 2010, Achieveng is a California-based,
minority-owned engineering firm providing construction
materials testing, special inspection, source inspection, nondestructive testing, geotechnical engineering, and
laboratory services. From our San Jose headquarters
and supporting California offices and laboratories, we
offer the geographic coverage and technical resources
needed to serve Richmond and respond to concurrent
assignments. Our firm holds SBE, MWBE, and LBE
certifications and maintains active DIR registration.

Achieveng performs testing and inspection under
the responsible oversight of a California-licensed
Professional Engineer. Our Caltrans-qualified laboratory and Caltrans-certified mobile laboratory maintain quality systems consistent with AASHTO R 18 and applicable
provisions of ASTM C1077, ASTM D3740, and ASTM
E329. Our inspectors, technicians, and laboratory
personnel maintain relevant ACI, ICC, AWS, ASNT, PCI,
and Caltrans qualifications for concrete, soils, asphalt, structural steel, welding, high-strength bolting, masonry, fireproofing, nondestructive testing, and related
disciplines.

Our experience closely reflects the City’s anticipated
task-order portfolio. Under our multi-year County of
Santa Barbara on-call contracts, Achieveng has supported roadway rehabilitation, bridges, storm-damage repairs,
sidewalks, and other public infrastructure while managing scheduled, urgent, and concurrent assignments.

Additional relevant experience includes on-call municipal CIP support for the City of Fremont across community
centers, pavement maintenance, parks, and municipal
facilities; roadway and park improvements for the City
of Milpitas; special inspection for County of Santa Cruz capital projects; and marine construction, pile welding, NDT, and materials testing for San Francisco’s Floating Fire Station No. 35.

A Responsive Extension of the City’s Team
Josh Fournier will serve as the City’s Project Manager
and primary point of contact, coordinating each work
authorization from initial scope and schedule review
through staffing, reporting, and closeout. He will be
supported by Ali Tahmasbi Gilani, QA/QC Department
Manager, and senior technical personnel who can
address specialty inspections, nonconforming results,
and issues requiring engineering interpretation.

Key advantages of Achieveng’s delivery model include:
• Direct access to project management and QA/QC
leadership;
• In-house certified inspectors, technicians, laboratory personnel, and specialty expertise, with no
subcontractors currently proposed;
• Integrated field and laboratory operations supported
by eFieldDATA digital reporting;
• Two-tier quality-control review of field observations, test results, and final reports;
• Immediate communication of failed tests and
noncompliant conditions; and
• Scheduling and escalation procedures designed to
address same-day, next-day, after-hours, weekend,
and emergency requests when appropriately
qualified personnel are available.

Achieveng combines the personal accountability of
a focused project team with the technical depth and
scalable resources required for a multi-year municipal
on-call contract. Our objective is to provide the City
with clear results, reliable coverage, and consistent
documentation that supports timely decisions, reduces
rework, and protects the quality and longevity of
Richmond’s public infrastructure.

5.5B On-Call Approach and Methodology
Understanding of the City’s Needs
Achieveng understands that the City of Richmond
requires more than technically accurate testing results.

The City needs an on-call partner that can respond
quickly, coordinate effectively across multiple projects, identify nonconforming work before it causes delay or
rework, and provide complete documentation within the
required timeframes.

The City’s assignments may support Capital Improvement
Program projects, Public Works maintenance,
transportation improvements, wastewater and sewer
infrastructure, Port facilities, parks, public buildings, and other construction activities. These assignments
may arise with limited notice, occur simultaneously,
and require personnel with different certifications and technical specialties. Achieveng’s approach is therefore built around three priorities:
• Rapid deployment of appropriately qualified personnel • Immediate, clear communication of failed tests and
deficiencies
• Consistent, quality-controlled reporting that supports City decision-making and project closeout.

Our objective is to give City staff clarity, consistency, and confidence throughout construction. We will function
as an extension of the City’s team, coordinating closely with project managers, contractors, designers, and
other stakeholders while maintaining independent
professional judgment.

Achieveng’s comparable experience directly reflects the delivery model and range of assignments anticipated by
Richmond. Our $848,000 County of Santa Barbara on-call
QA and materials-testing contract demonstrates rapid
mobilization, emergency response, and management
of concurrent public-infrastructure assignments. Our
City of Fremont and City of Milpitas on-call contracts
demonstrate responsive municipal CIP support across
community facilities, pavement maintenance, parks, public buildings, and accessibility improvements. Our County of Santa Cruz contract further demonstrates the ability to provide qualified inspection personnel for multiple capital projects involving renovation, new construction, structural improvements, utilities, and site work.

Floating Fire Station No. 35 complements this on-call
experience with complex waterfront construction involving pile welding and NDT, soils, asphalt, concrete, reinforcing steel, proof-load testing, and other specialty services under demanding operating conditions. Together, these
assignments demonstrate Achieveng’s ability to support
the roadway, facility, structural, wastewater, Port, park, and other public works assignments anticipated under the City’s contract.

Assignment Management and Coordination
Josh Fournier will serve as Project Manager and the
City’s primary point of accountability. Upon receipt of the City’s written work authorization, Josh and our dispatch team will confirm:
• Project location, scope, schedule, and site contact;
• Applicable plans, specifications, test methods, and
reporting requirements;
• Required inspector or technician qualifications;
• Site access, badging, safety, or prevailing-wage
requirements;
• Expected deliverables and distribution protocols; and • Whether laboratory, engineering, or subcontracted
specialty support is needed.

Personnel will be assigned based on certification,
relevant experience, proximity, availability, and projectspecific requirements. Josh will remain engaged through completion of each assignment, coordinating schedule
changes, reviewing open issues, and confirming delivery of required reports. When appropriate, Achieveng will
prepare more than one qualified employee for a project
so that service does not depend on the availability of a single inspector.

Routine coordination will occur through the City’s
preferred combination of email, telephone, meetings,
and electronic platforms. Internally, project management, dispatch, field staff, laboratory personnel, supervisors, and QA/QC remain connected so schedule updates,
test information, and field concerns move quickly to the appropriate decision-maker.

Testing and Special Inspection Procedures
Achieveng performs materials testing and special
inspection under the responsible oversight of a Californialicensed Professional Engineer. Services are performed in accordance with the City’s written work authorization, project plans and specifications, and applicable ASTM,
AASHTO, Caltrans California Test Methods, ACI, ICC,
AWS, ASNT, RCSC, and California Building Standards
Code requirements.

Our DSA Laboratory Evaluation and Acceptance-approved
laboratory maintains quality systems consistent with
AASHTO R 18 and applicable provisions of ASTM C1077,
ASTM D3740, and ASTM E329. Depending on the
assignment, services may include (but are not limited to):
• Concrete sampling, slump, temperature, air-content,
cylinder preparation and curing, and compressivestrength testing; • Soil sampling, moisture-density relationships, grading observation, and nuclear-gauge compaction testing;
1442
Achieveng - Statement of Qualifications I Page 12
• Asphalt/HMA sampling, observation, compaction
testing, and pavement-thickness verification;
• Reinforcing-steel placement, size, spacing, cover, and mechanical-splice verification;
• High-strength bolting inspection in accordance with
applicable project and RCSC requirements;
• Structural-steel and welding inspection by appropriately qualified personnel;
• Nondestructive testing by appropriately qualified
personnel;
• Masonry, grout, and shotcrete inspection and testing
• Other task-specific testing and special inspection
required by the City.

Inspectors and technicians mobilize with required PPE,
calibrated equipment, and electronic reporting tools.

They coordinate directly with the City’s designated
representative and contractor while maintaining the
independence of their observations and test results.

Failed tests, deficiencies, and nonconforming conditions are communicated immediately in accordance with the
escalation and reporting procedures described below.

Samples requiring laboratory analysis will be identified and transported under documented sample-control
procedures to Achieveng’s San Jose laboratory or,
when authorized by the City, to an approved specialty
laboratory. Field observations, sample information, and laboratory results will be reconciled for consistency and completeness before the associated report is released.

QA, Reporting, and Failed-Test Escalation
Quality control is integrated into every stage of our
workflow. Ali Tahmasbi Gilani, QA/QC Manager, will
oversee Achieveng’s two-tier review process:

Two-Tier Review Process
• Initial QA Review: Performed by the Lab Supervisor
or QA/QC Manager immediately posttesting,
including field data validation and calibration checks. • Central QA Validation: Internal compliance team
verifies conformance to ASTM and LEA standards
and ensures consistent formatting and integration
of subcontractor reports.

Achieveng’s eFieldData platform applies standardized
data-entry controls, reduces transcription errors,
supports photographs and electronic field records, and
provides a traceable documentation history. Reports
will identify, at minimum, the project and location,
service date and time, inspector or technician, applicable specification or test method, work observed, samples
obtained, test results, deficiencies, and corrective
actions taken or recommended.

In accordance with the RFP, Achieveng will:
• Notify the designated City representative verbally
immediately upon identifying a failed test, deficiency, or nonconforming condition;
• Submit field reports within 24 hours of inspection
or testing;
• Submit formal laboratory reports within five business days unless otherwise directed;
• Maintain an organized log of unresolved deficiencies, corrective actions, retesting, and final disposition
when requested;
• Attend project and coordination meetings as
requested by the City.

The inspector or technician will first communicate the
facts observed in the field without directing contractor means and methods. Project-specific questions involving plans, specifications, schedule, or coordination will be elevated to Josh. Technical or quality-system concerns will be elevated to the appropriate supervisor and Ali. Senior engineering leadership will be engaged when professional interpretation or executive-level resolution is required.

Scheduling, Responsiveness, and Safety
Achieveng’s dispatch structure is designed for changing construction schedules. Our dispatch process supports
the City’s anticipated same-day and next-day requests
through qualification-based assignment, backup staffing, and active schedule management; specific responsetime and after-hours commitments are provided in Section 5.6. For accelerated or concurrent assignments, we can reallocate personnel, deploy additional certified staff, and extend work hours without bypassing required quality-control procedures.

Before mobilization, assigned personnel will review
known hazards, required PPE, site-access procedures,
and applicable City or contractor safety requirements.

Field staff will conduct their work in accordance
with Achieveng’s safety program, applicable Cal/
OSHA requirements, and project-specific plans.

Unsafe conditions will be communicated promptly
to the appropriate site and City representatives. Any
death, serious injury, or substantial property-damage
incident associated with our services will be escalated immediately and reported to the City within the
contractual timeframe.

Each assignment remains open through report delivery,
deficiency/retest resolution, record reconciliation, and confirmation that required documentation has been
transmitted through the City’s designated electronic
method. Reports and supporting documentation will be
submitted electronically in the format and through the
method designated by the City for each assignment.

appropriate to maintain continuity. 1444
Achieveng - Statement of Qualifications I Page 14
Geographic Coverage and Concurrent Assignments
Richmond assignments will be supported through
Achieveng’s San Jose headquarters and laboratory and
by personnel already located throughout the East Bay.

Five Achieveng inspectors currently reside in the East
Bay: Abdul and Joel inWalnut Creek, Nawid in Concord,
and Eraj and Rahim in Fremont.This local field presence supplements our San Jose-based laboratory, QA/QC,
engineering, and dispatch resources and provides
Achieveng with multiple options for assigning qualified personnel based on certification, proximity, availability, and project-specific requirements.

For each assignment, Josh Fournier and dispatch will
select the appropriately qualified inspector or technician best positioned to meet the City’s schedule. East Bay
personnel may be supported by additional qualified
staff from San Jose and Achieveng’s other California
operations when specialty certifications, extended
shifts, peak workloads, or concurrent assignments
require additional depth.

Josh will coordinate staffing through Achieveng’s
eFieldData platform, which allows our team to reserve
personnel for placement windows, track assignment
requirements, monitor field activity, and maintain
visibility into report status. Our multi-office s tructure and cross-trained staff allow us to redistribute qualified personnel, extend shifts, and deploy designated backups when project schedules overlap.

Achieveng’s County of Santa Barbara On-Call QA and
Materials Testing contract demonstrates our ability to
manage the type of changing workload anticipated
by Richmond. Under the $848,000 multi-year on-call
contract, Achieveng has supported rapid mobilization,
emergency response, concurrent assignments, and
testing and inspection for pavement rehabilitation,
bridges, storm repairs, sidewalks, and other public
infrastructure.This experience demonstrates the staffing depth, dispatch coordination, and operational flexibility required to support multiple assignments without relying on a single inspector or project team.

For Richmond, Josh Fournier will apply the same
capacity-management approach by confirming qualified
personnel and laboratory availability before each
assignment, monitoring active workloads, and deploying
qualified backup staff when schedules overlap or project conditions change.

Availability, Scheduling, and Responsiveness
Achieveng’s normal work hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday. Achieveng requests a
minimum of two business days’ notice for routine
scheduling. Requests received with this notice will
receive priority staffing for the requested service date following confirmation of the assignment scope, location, required qualifications, and personnel availability. Josh Fournier and dispatch will promptly notify the City of
the assigned employee or, if the requested time cannot
be supported by an appropriately qualified individual,
coordinate the earliest available alternative with the City.

Requests received with less than two business days’
notice, including same-day and next-day requests, will be treated as priority requests and accommodated based
on the availability of appropriately qualified personnel.

Achieveng will use its East Bay field presence, San Jose resources, designated backup personnel, and broader
multi-office staffing depth to maximize its ability to meet these requests.

Achieveng can provide night, weekend, holiday, and
extended-shift coverage when scheduled and subject
to qualified staff availability.

Emergency Response and Escalation: Urgent requests
will be routed to Josh, with backup support from
dispatch, QA/QC, and senior management. Achieveng’s
emergency response procedure is to:

1. Acknowledge the request and confirm the location,
site contact, required service, and immediate
conditions;

2. Identify the closest available employee holding the
necessary qualifications;

3. Inform the City of the assigned employee and
anticipated arrival;

4. Provide management, QA/QC, or engineering
escalation as required; and

5. Document the response, observations, results, and
follow-up actions.

Primary emergency contact: Josh Fournier
