DocuSign Envelope ID:90883988-076D-486D-B746-055E86E2D681 Proposal for CMT and Special Inspections Services Proposal Number:T19-0043 Detention Center, EAC and POB (Northern Campus Expansion) September 18, 2019 Hillsborough, North Carolina laboratory compaction test. We will provide a Senior Engineering Technician as needed to observe the placement of concrete and hot-mix asphalt pavements.Additionally,we will periodically monitor hot-mix asphalt delivery temperatures, rolled thickness,and perform asphalt density testing with a nuclear gauge. Laboratory Testing In an effort to maintain the highest quality control standards within our company, our laboratory, equipment, and personnel are inspected both by our internal Quality Control Group and a variety of external agencies. Our laboratory and personnel periodically go through inspections and have received accreditations through CCRL (Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory) relating to ASTM C1077 Standards; and AMRL (AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory) relating to AASHTO and ASTM D 3740 Standards. Each of these organizations is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. We have also been inspected and accredited by the Soil and Materials Laboratory of NCDOT. Laboratory testing will be performed in accordance with the project document requirements to evaluate that materials comply with project requirements. Results of laboratory testing will be provided to the construction manager and designated project team members as soon as practicably available. We anticipate that testing will be required for backfill material and concrete cylinders. Samples collected from the job site will be secured and returned to our laboratory for testing, as required. Our budget includes laboratory testing of soils, including maximum dry unit weight/optimum moisture curves, Atterberg limits, and No. 200 wash sieves for 6 samples and compressive strength testing for up to 400 concrete cylinders and 160 grout prisms. Proiect Management and Engineering Consultation Our project organization will include various field testing and inspections staff working under the supervision of Jeff Elliott, P.E. who will oversee the administrative functions for the project, including assignment of appropriate field personnel, review of field data, laboratory data, inspection reports, and communication the following with project team personnel and owner: • The results of our field testing and inspections for each day will be summarized in a daily field report,with all results communicated to appropriate on site personnel. • Unusual occurrences will be communicated in a timely manner. • Scheduling conflicts do to contractor error, work cancellations upon Summit's arrival, retesting and non-compliance testing, and contractor's convenience testing will be tracked throughout project and reported to owner for tracking purposes of appropriate back charges to contractor. • Non-conforming items that are not corrected on the same date that they are initially observed, will be communicated to the owner, building official, general contractor, and design team immediately. • The results of concrete, grout and mortar compressive strength testing will be available electronically to the project team within 48 hours, as the tests are performed.Test results will be available through e-mail, and summarized in our monthly summary report. • A typed final report of our services will be prepared by our Project Manager, reviewed and sealed by our Registered Engineer, and distributed to specified members of the project team on a monthly basis, as well as a Final Report at the end of project.
