Statement of Qualifications for Construction Material Testing Services Irerracon Central Efland/Northern Buckhorn Sewer Extension a Orange County,NC September 21,2011 a Terracon Proposal No.P70110416 conformance punch list log. The log will document the date and description of the non-conformance, associated report number of when the non-conformance was noted, action required to clear the item and the date when the item was corrected and cleared. The log will be maintained and tracked by our Project Manager and will be distributed regularly to the designated parties to assure that all items are cleared in a timely fashion. This log will help prevent non-conformances from lingering to a point where they become difficult to correct due to additional construction or obstruct the ability to receive a certificate of occupancy. When all items on our nonconformance log have been resolved, our Project Manager will issue final documentation of compliance for the items covered in our inspection program. Our project manager will track and compile the progress of our testing and inspection activities and submit an interim report. The weekly to bi-weekly report will include a summary of all testing and inspection services performed for the period, any non-conforming items and resolutions, the non-conformance log, copies of testing and inspections reports, and a concrete compressive strength test summary. - Provide Timely Reports. Terracon personnel will complete written inspection reports for each inspection visit and provide the reports on a timely basis. Terracon personnel will furnish these reports directly to the building official, the design team, and others as'designated. These reports will be organized on a daily format and will be electronically submitted every 2 to 5 days. Reports documenting non-conformances will be distributed within 24 hours. These reports will: • Describe inspection and tests made, with applicable location • Indicate how nonconforming items were resolved • List unresolved items, parties notified, time and method of notification In order to achieve better communication and faster turnaround of reporting, we propose to utilize our automated Construction Materials Engineering Laboratory Management System (CMELMSTM) on this project. Data and reports will be electronically entered by field staff each day. A hardcopy of the report can then be printed and personally delivered, sent electronically via e-mail and, if requested, may be posted to a project web site that can be accessed only by approved users. CMELMSTM will also track the budget and produce real-time budget reports. PROXIMITY TO AND FAMILIARITY WITH THE PROJECT AREA Terracon's Raleigh office is located off of Capital Boulevard in North Raleigh, convenient to both 1-440 and 1-540. This contract will be executed by the staff located in our Raleigh office and thus travel time to the project site will be no more than 45 minutes.
