PW On-Call Geotechnical Engineering & Material Testing 2014
Cir of `j. Agenda Item No: 3.o nd Meeting Date: October 6, 2014 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Department: Public Works ] Prepared by: /` ity Manager ApprovaQ't Director of Public Works File No.: 01.01.02.01 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSALS FROM MILLER PACIFIC ENGINEERING GROUP AND ENGEO, INC. FOR ON-CALL GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING AND MATERIAL TESTING SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENTS WITH MILLER PACIFIC ENGINEERING GROUP AND ENGEO, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $75,000.00 PER YEAR, EACH. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to enter into professional service agreements with Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. for on-call geotechnical engineering and material testing services. BACKGROUND: The Public Works Department requires on-call geotechnical engineering and material testing services for various capital improvement and private development related projects. These services may include, but are not limited to, environmental site assessments, slide and erosion analysis with repair recommendations, response to emergency landslides and earth movement, soil foundation investigations, geological hazardous studies, peer reviews for land development related projects, material sampling and testing services, and geotechnical engineering consultations. The Public Works Department does not have licensed geotechnical engineers or certified field technicians on staff to provide necessary geotechnical engineering or material testing services. Material sampling and testing is required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on federally funded projects administered through Caltrans Office of Local Assistance. In addition, material testing on various City and locally funded projects is required to ensure that the installed materials meet the City's specifications and requirements. Public Works staff prepared a Request for Qualifications and invited various geotechnical engineering tirms to submit Statements of Qualifications (Statement). Staff determined that it would be prudent to enter into professional service agreements with two geotechnical engineering firms to ensure availability to respond to material testing needs as well as emergencies and field meetings. Most agencies enter into professional service agreements with more than one geotechnical firm for their general engineering FOR CITY CLERK ONLY File No.: 4-3-579 Council Meeting: 10/06/2014 Disposition: Resolution 13823 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 services for the same reason. The tasks for various engineering services will be divided between these firms according to Public Works needs and the consultant's availability. For each task order, the consultant will provide a specific scope of services and cost proposal for the Public Works Director's approval. ANALYSIS: The Public Works Department solicited Statements and received five Statements from qualified firms on ,August 28, 2014. All Statements were evaluated by City staff based on criteria specified in the Request for Qualifications, including but not limited to, understanding of the work to be done, previous experience with similar projects, qualified and experienced personnel on the project team, familiarity with state and federal procedures, and commitment to adhering to the project schedule and budget. Three firms were selected for interviews, which were conducted on September 18, 2014 with panel members consisting of City staff and qualified consultants. Since all applicants were well qualified, it was exceptionally difficult to identify two preferred design firms for this on-call contract. However, after some deliberation, the panel selected Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. as the most qualified consultants for this project. FISCAL IMPACT: On-call contracts do not contain specific scopes of services, and the work may be sporadic. Therefore, staff determined that an initial two-year contract with each firm in the amount not to exceed $75,000 per year would provide the City the greatest flexibility in meeting its needs. Furthermore, each professional service agreement will include a clause whereby the City, at its sole discretion, may twice extend the existing contract for two additional years for a total possible contract length of six years. Contract extensions must be mutually agreed upon by the Public Works Director and the consultants with a cost not to exceed $75,000 per year, for each two year contract extension. The cost of these services will be paid for out of various Capital Improvement Program project budgets, land development application fees or Public Works operations. OPTIONS: 1. Adopt the resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to enter into professional service agreements with Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. for on-call geotechnical engineering and material testing services. 2. Do not authorize the Public Works Director to enter into a professional service agreement with the recommended consulting firms and direct staff to release a new Request for Qualifications. If this option is chosen, the City will be delayed andlor unable to perform material sampling and testing on federally funded projects prior to completion of construction of said projects thereby placing federal funds in jeopardy. 3. Do not authorize the Public Works Director to enter into a professional service agreement with the recommended consulting firms and direct staff to stop work on the project. If this option is chosen, the City will be out of compliance with federal law requiring material sampling and testing on federally funded projects. Additionally, City staff may be unable to complete design of projects or respond to emergencies requiring geotechnical engineering consultation. ACTION REQUIRED: Adopt the resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to enter into professional service agreements with Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. for on-call geotechnical engineering and material testing services.

The CONSULTANT shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of subcontracts. C. CONSULTANTS are encouraged to use services offered by financial institutions owned and controlled by DBEs. D. It is the CONSULTANT's responsibility to be fully inforned regarding the requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26, and the Department's DBE program developed pursuant to the regulations. Particular attention is directed to the following: 1. A DBE must be a small business finn defined pursuant to 13 CFR 121 and be certified through the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP). 2. A certified DBE may participate as a prime contractor, subcontractor, joint venture partner, as a vendor of material or supplies, or as a trucking company. 3. A DBE proposer not proposing as a joint venture with a non -DBE, will be required to document one or a combination of the following: i. The proposer is a DBE and will meet the goal by performing work with its own forces. ii. The proposer will meet the goal through work performed by DBE subcontractors, suppliers or trucking companies. iii. The proposer, prior to proposing, made adequate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Page 5 of 17 4. A DBE joint venture partner must be responsible for specific contract items of work or clearly defined portions thereof. Responsibility means actually performing, managing, and supervising the work with its own forces. The DBE joint venture partner must share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks and profits of the joint venture commensurate with its ownership interest. 5. A DBE must perform a commercially useful function pursuant to 49 CFR 26.55, that is, a DBE firm must be responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the work and must carry out its responsibility by actually perforning, managing and supervising the work. i. The proposer shall list only one subcontractor for each portion of work as defined in their proposal and all DBE subcontractors should be listed in the bid/cost proposal list of subcontractors. 7. A prime contractor who is a certified DBE is eligible to claim all of the work in the Agreement toward the DBE participation except that portion of the work to be performed by non -DBE subcontractors. E. CONSULTANTs shall adhere to the following regarding subconsultants: Nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the LOCAL AGENCY and any subconsultant, and no subcontract shall relieve the CONSULTANT of his/her responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The CONSULTANT agrees to be as frilly responsible to the LOCAL AGENCY for the acts and omissions of its subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT's obligation to pay its subconsultants is an independent obligation from the LOCAL AGENCY's obligation to make payments to the CONSULTANT. 2. Any subcontract in excess of $25,000, entered into as a result of this Agreement, shall contain all the provisions stipulated in this Agreement to be applicable to subconsultants. 3. CONSULTANT shall pay its subconsultants within ten (10) calendar days from receipt of each payment made to the CONSULTANT by the LOCAL AGENCY. 4. Any substitution of subconsultants must be approved in writing by the LOCAL AGENCY's Contract Manager in advance of assigning work to a substitute subconsultant. F. The following shall pertain to the performance of DBE consultants and other DBE Subconsultants/Suppliers: A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the Agreement and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible with respect to materials and supplies used on the Agreement, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices; whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the Agreement is commensurate with the work it is actually performing; and other relevant factors. A DBE does not perform a commercially useful fimction if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, Agreement, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate. Page 6 of 17 3. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its Agreement with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the Agreement than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a commercially useful function. G. The following shall pertain to Prompt Payment of Funds Withheld to Subcontractors: No retainage will be held by the LOCAL AGENCY from progress payments due the prime CONSULTANT. Any retainage held by the prime CONSULTANT or subconsultants from progress payments due subconsultants shall be promptly paid in full to subconsultants within 30 days after the subconsultant's work is satisfactorily completed. Federal law (49 CFR26.29) requires that any delay or postponement of payment over the 30 days may take place only for good cause and with the LOCAL AGENCY's prior written approval. Any violation of this provision shall subject the violating prime CONSULTANT or subconsultant to the penalties, sanctions and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the Business and Professions Code. These requirements shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies, otherwise available to the prime CONSULTANT or subconsultant in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the prime CONSULTANT, deficient subconsultant performance, or noncompliance by a subconsultant. This provision applies to both DBE and non -DBE prime CONSULTANT and subconsultants. 2. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this Agreement shall contain all of the provisions of this section. H. The following shall pertain to DBE Records: 1. The CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased and/or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime consultants shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work. 2. Upon completion of the Agreement, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, "Final Report -Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), First -Tier Subcontractors," CEM -2402F (Exhibit 17-F, Chapter 17, of the LAPM), certified correct by the CONSULTANT or the CONSULTANT's authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Manager with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in 25% of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to the CONSULTANT when a satisfactory "Final Report -Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First -Tier Subcontractors" is submitted to the Contract Manager. I. The following shall pertain to DBE Certification and Decertification Status: If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the Agreement, the decertified subconsultant shall notify the CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the Agreement, the subconsultant shall notify the CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to the LOCAL AGENCY's Contract Manager within 30 days. Page 7 of 17 ARTICLE X COST PRINCIPLES A.

A few examples of Miller Pacific projects are presented in the attached Statement of Qualifications. 4. Methods Proposed to Accomplish the Work We have established effective management control systems and have integrated them for project administration. Having completed many complex geotechnical projects within strict time constraints, the Miller Pacific project team has developed flexible management systems which allow Project Managers to draw on experienced technical and administrative personnel throughout the company. We believe we have adequate personnel available to respond to the City of San Rafael's projects. We have been providing geotechnical services to San Rafael for almost 25 years without inadequate staffing issues Communication and previous experience are critical to project success and to meet the needs of important clients such as the City of San Rafael. Miller Pacific has great success managing similar projects with several municipalities. Our Project Manager will review and assign specific projects tasks and schedules to the appropriate key personnel in order to meet project requirements and schedules. Miller Pacific utilizes quality control programs that facilitate compliance with project performance standards, schedules, and budgets. One important goal of our quality control program is to produce geologic and geotechnical reports of known and acceptable quality on all work assignments. Our policy is to maintain professional standards in all aspects of project tasks and management. Most reports are reviewed by senior personnel other than the project manager to confirm key issues are addressed and recommendation and design criteria are appropriate for the project site conditions. Miller Pacific's accounting system allows efficient sharing of a project's financial data. Personnel time and budgetary information is tracked and logged on a daily basis and can be accessed at any time to keep the City updated on current project budget status. Project financial information is provided weekly in Job Cost Accounting reports to keep Project Managers aware of each project's budgetary status.

For shallow exploration, we customarily utilize auger drilling equipment or exploratory trenches to characterize subsurface conditions and identify significant geologic and geotechnical features that may affect project development. For soft soils or deep exploration, we will utilize rotary -wash drilling techniques or cone penetration tests (CPTs). Soil sampling is performed with split barrel samplers with liner tubes, thin walled Shelby tubes or thin walled piston samplers. Seismic refraction lines and rock coring are utilized to estimate rock hardness and excavation characteristics. Laboratory Testinq Our laboratory is specially equipped for geotechnical soil testing including classification, engineering properties, and compaction characteristics. Several of the testing apparatus are automated with dedicated computers used for data acquisition. Classification tests include moisture content, dry density, grain size analysis, plasticity (swell - shrink) properties, specific gravity, and corrosion potential. Tests to evaluate engineering properties include strength tests (direct shear, unconfined compression, and triaxial compression), consolidation and expansion index. For compaction characteristics, we perform laboratory compaction tests (Caltrans 216 and ASTM 1557) to determine maximum density and optimum moisture content. For pavement design, subgrade samples are tested for Resistance Value (R -Value.) Aggregate baserock and subbase materials are tested to confirm gradation and durability meet Caltrans standard specifications. Our laboratory is certified for Caltrans materials testing. When job conditions warrant, we can establish on-site laboratory facilities for compaction testing, concrete sampling and P other construction related testing. Where warranted specialized_`�� testing is arranged with associated laboratories. Construction Inspection and Testinq We provide geotechnical consultation, inspection and testing during construction. We will evaluate any geotechnical issues that arise during construction and develop mitigation options in a timely manner so that delays in the construction schedule are minimized. We provide quality control field testing to confirm soil conditions are as expected and that the contractors work is performed in accordance with the project specifications. Our construction inspection services include inspection and testing of site preparation, keyway and slope excavations, over - excavation of unstable soils, subsurface drainage, structural fill, foundation subgrade, drilled cast -in-place piers, driven piles, reinforced earth slopes and walls, soil nails, tiebacks, rock anchors, utility trench backfill, concrete and pavement sections.

A shallow landslide blocked drainage on Molino Avenue diverting it over the side into Cascade Creek. This flow combined with high flows in the creek undercut the steep creek bank slope triggering a major landslide. Repair of the landslide and reopening of Molino Avenue was a very high priority for the City of Mill Valley. Miller Pacific Engineering Group responded at once to the city's emergency call. We made an on-site inspection and evaluation of the entire slope, and developed the repair concept and consulted with the emergency repair contractor. After the approval of the repair method MPEG prepared a detailed plan and specifications. During the repair MPEG provided continuing inspection and oversight of the work. Molino Avenue was reopened only twelve days after the slide occurred. The repair consists of a lower section of 1 ton boulder rip rap placed on the bedrock creek bottom and sloped at 0.2 horizontal to 1 vertical. The upper section, sloped at 1 horizontal to 1 vertical, was composed of three-quarter ton riprap. The backside of the repair was protected with a curtain of stabilizing fabric, and a subsurface drain. The entire rip rap section was slush grouted, as it was constructed, with a surface zone reserved for a soil cover, erosion control mat and vegetative cover. 141 MolinoSlide-1-16-06 MILLER PACIFIC fN61NEfBIN6 6AO1! PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS THROCKMORTON RIDGE FIRE STATION Marin County, California Client: County of Marin Architect: C3 Design Alliance The new Throckmorton Ridge Fire Station is a three -engine -bay, rustic lodge -style facility located on the beautiful Panoramic Highway adjacent to Mount Tamalpais near Mill Valley. The building is located at the same site as an older obsolete structure. The initial geotechnical evaluation focused on the geologic setting, seismicity, identification of a cut -fill transition extending through the proposed building, and concerns about the stability of the steep fill slope below the site. We subsequently explored site conditions with test borings and prepared geotechnical recommendations and design criteria for the project; including a unique foundation of shallow spread footing foundations bearing on bedrock throughout most of the building combined with drilled, cast -in-place piers supporting the downhill side of the building to account for the deeper bedrock and slope. The steep fill slope below the site was found to have poor stability and we recommended mitigation measures which consisted of excavating weak soils, installing subdrains and reconstructing the slope with compacted fill. Additional services included evaluation of 1,200 -feet of new sanitary sewer using test borings and test pits to determine excavation conditions in potentially variable Franciscan Melange bedrock. We provided geotechnical consultation and review during development of the project plans and inspected site grading and foundation excavations during construction to verify our findings and the contractors' conformance to the design requirements. 121Throckmorton Ridge Firehouse -11-11-10 -. - - We provided geotechnical consultation and review during development of the project plans and inspected site grading and foundation excavations during construction to verify our findings and the contractors' conformance to the design requirements. 121Throckmorton Ridge Firehouse -11-11-10 MILLER PACIFIC fNBINE1AIN6 i1011P PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS SOLANO COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY, FAIRFIELD Architect: KMD Architects Client: Solano County Contact: Ms. Urlita Coronel-Mangune 530 Clay Street Fairfield, California 94533 (707) 421-7908 A new 90 -bed juvenile detention facility built on a site occupied by an existing detention facility. The existing Juvenile Hall is located on a 5 -acre portion in the northwest corner of the larger 18 -acre Solano County campus. The campus is located at 2100 West Texas Street in Fairfield, California. The proposed 30,000 square -foot addition was built using concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction with a slab -on -grade floor. Other elements included parking lots, underground utilities, security walls, access roads, play courts and concrete walkways. Our geotechnical evaluation included the advancement of three borings, laboratory testing and development of geotechnical engineering parameters for design of the building foundations and grading recommendations. During exploration, we encountered moderately to highly expansive soils which placed a significant constraint on the foundation design. Of the alternatives to mitigate this condition, the client elected to over -excavate the top few feet of soil and replace with non -expansive engineered fill. During construction, we observed the foundation system preparation for the main building, which was built on a thickened reinforced concrete slab and security walls, which were constructed on a drilled pier foundation system. Additionally, we observed and tested subgrade for asphalt concrete paved parking lots and access roads. 145SolanoCou ntyJuvenileHall9-17-10 MILLER PACIFIC fR61H1EflIN6 GROUP PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS CROWN ROAD LANDSLIDE REPAIR Marin County, California Client: Marin County Public Works Department As a result of the FEMA "disaster" storms of December 31, 2005 and April 2006, several dozen landslides damaged Marin County roads, parks, and open space areas. Marin County engaged Miller Pacific directly or as a sub -consultant to Harris & Associates to provide emergency consultation, and to investigate the slides and prepare complete design repair plans. In other cases we provided geotechnical recommendations and design criteria to the project Structural Engineer. By the end of 2008, we will have designed and/or observed construction on over 30 landslides that occurred due to the 2005/2006 FEMA disaster events. The Crown Road at Idlewood Road intersection (shown below) was the site of the largest and most expensive (+/- $2,000,000) landslide that damaged County roads. MPEG provided consultation during emergency response efforts when a 30 -inch water main was threatened. We subsequently investigated the site with test borings and inclinometers that were used to determine the depth of landslide movement (up to 45 feet below road grade) and to model slope stability. The repair consisted of a 200 foot long row of 3 -foot diameter drilled piers, spaced 7 - feet on center, along the edge of the road and a 125 foot long row of 3 -foot diameter drilled piers, spaced 7 feet on center, about 25 to 50 feet uphill from the lower row of piers. Both structures are laterally supported by 240 kip tiebacks consisting of double -corrosion protected bundled strands that are up to 110 feet in length. The work was completed in 2007.

Slide 4-08 Z1LLER PACIFIC ENGINEERING GROUP SYNTHETIC TURF SPORTS FIELDS TOM BATES REGIONAL SPORTS COMPLEX - GILMAN FIELDS BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA Client: SFE Landscape Architects/City of Berkeley Miller Pacific Engineering Group conducted geotechnical investigations for the Tom Bates Regional Sports Complex just west of Highway 80 along the eastern bay margin. The project included over 6 acres of natural and artificial playfields, lighting, parking lots, bathrooms, field house, and bleacher seating over a former landfill area. Geotechnical and geologic hazards at the site included soft, compressible bay mud, potentially liquefiable soils and potentially contaminated landfill subgrade conditions. The original grading plans outlined an estimated 35,000 cubic yards of imported fill to raise the existing grade to design elevation. Miller Pacific produced a design level geotechnical report, prepared grading and drainage plans and technical specifications for permeable base below the synthetic turf areas, performed design review and construction observation and testing. During construction, MPEG reviewed submittals, performed laboratory QA/QC testing and provided geotechnical inspection and testing. After the site grading and construction of the permeable base, Field Turf synthetic turf was installed and infilled with ground rubber and sand to produce the final surface that emulates the feel and performance of natural grass.

The firm capitalizes on Eugene Miller's many years of prior professional engineering experience and his various technical innovations. Founder Miller's project history encompasses work in the 17 western states, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam. His more significant projects include Embarcadero Center buildings in San Francisco, 65 Dam Safety Studies for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Mokulumne Aqueduct Delta Levee Safety Studies, and design of the San Carlos Apache Dam in Arizona, numerous landslide projects and foundation investigations for civic buildings, schools, commercial and 4s industrial facilities. Since then Eugene has stepped down as President and lk-A passed the torch to Scott Stephens. 1 i-Av Under Stephens' direction, the firm has expanded its geologic services and President developed the unique engineering specialty of Geo -Civil Engineering which integrates MPEG's geotechnical skills with civil engineering design and project management, thus providing single source services for clients. Today the staff of professional engineers, geologists and field technicians continues the firm's founding principals of client service, technical excellence and professionalism. Since its beginning MPEG has experienced continuous measured growth in staff and revenues while operating its three offices as a single unit (Novato, Petaluma, & Napa). MPEG is an employee -owned California Corporation and registered as a California Small Business (SBE) and Micro -Business. Vice President MPEG provides a variety of geotechnical and geologic services including: Geotechnical Enclineerina Engineering Geologv Feasibility Studies Geotechnical Investigations Earthquake Engineering Site Grading Criteria Construction Monitoring & Testing Distressed Property Evaluation Forensic Studies Expert Witness Geologic Hazard Investigation Fault and Seismicity Studies Environmental Impact Assessment Ground Water Studies Geologic Resource Evaluation Quarry Closure Reports mom Geo/Civil Enaineerinq Landslide Mitigation Design Embankment Design Foundation Rehabilitation Retaining Structures Shoreline Protection Earth Dam Design Design Plans and Specifications Construction Monitoring & Testing SOO-FirmBackground2-05-10.doc Specialized Expertise and Experience Geotechnical Engineering Feasibility Studies Site and Foundation Investigations Earthquake Engineering Site Grading Criteria Construction Monitoring Distressed Property Evaluation Forensic Studies / Expert Consultation f Geo/Civil Engineering Landslide Mitigation Design Embankment Design Foundation Rehabilitation Retaining Structures Shoreline Protection Earth Dam Design Design Plans and Specifications Contract Documents Construction Monitoring and Testing Small Bus k 0018998 w.na as.r.s ra�orrcuc cna►o uay.s w.rrn:v,r.� R11rGMrFD fY4n W! Engineering Geology Geologic Hazard Investigation Fault and Seismicity Studies Environmental Impact Assessment Ground Water Studies Geologic Resource Evaluation Quarry Closure Reports MILLER PACIFIC ENGINEERING GROUP Geotechnical Field and Laboratory Testing Evaluation of Subsurface Conditions Subsurface exploration is utilized to evaluate the geologic conditions and soil profiles. For shallow exploration, we customarily utilize auger drilling equipment or exploratory trenches to characterize subsurface conditions and identify significant geologic and geotechnical features that may affect project development. For soft soils or deep exploration, we will utilize rotary -wash drilling techniques or cone penetration tests (CPTs). Soil sampling is performed with split barrel samplers with liner tubes, thin walled Shelby tubes or thin walled piston samplers. Seismic refraction lines and rock coring are utilized to estimate rock hardness and excavation characteristics. Laboratory Testing Our laboratory is specially equipped for geotechnical soil testing including classification, engineering properties, and compaction characteristics. Several of the testing apparatus are automated with dedicated computers used for data acquisition. Classification tests include moisture content, dry density, grain size analysis, plasticity (swell - shrink) properties, specific gravity, and corrosion potential. Tests to evaluate engineering properties include strength tests (direct shear, unconfined compression, and triaxial compression), consolidation and expansion index. For compaction characteristics, we perform laboratory compaction tests (Caltrans 216 and ASTM 1557) to determine maximum density and optimum moisture content. For pavement design, subgrade samples are tested for Resistance Value (R -Value.) Aggregate baserock and subbase materials are tested to confirm gradation and durability meet Caltrans standard specifications. Our laboratory is certified for Caltrans materials testing. When job conditions warrant, we can establish on-site t - laboratory facilities for compaction testing, concrete sampling and other construction related testing. Where warranted specialized __ _ '►,. testing is arranged with associated laboratories. Construction Inspection and Testing We provide geotechnical consultation, inspection and testing during construction. We will evaluate any geotechnical issues that arise during construction and develop mitigation options in a timely manner so that delays in the construction schedule are minimized. We provide quality control field testing to confirm soil conditions are as expected and that the contractors work is performed in accordance with the project specifications. Our construction inspection services include inspection and testing of site preparation, keyway and slope excavations, over - excavation of unstable soils, subsurface drainage, structural fill, foundation subgrade, drilled cast -in-place piers, driven piles, reinforced earth slopes and walls, soil nails, tiebacks, rock anchors, utility trench backfill, concrete and pavement sections.

Having been with the firm since 2008, Mike has conducted dozens of geologic site evaluations for a variety of projects, including distressed properties, slope failures and pre -development feasibility studies. He has implemented and managed several slope -stability and groundwater monitoring studies utilizing a wide array of specialized techniques and equipment, including auger, rotary -wash, and continuous core drilling, cone penetrometer test (CPT) explorations, slope inclinometer and monitoring well construction, installation of in-situ instrumentation, downhole geophysical logging, and in-situ hydraulic conductivity testing. Mike has also beenT responsible for numerous geotechnical investigations for projects ranging from municipal infrastructure capital improvements and rehabilitations to private multi- _ unit residential and commercial developments. He has planned and implemented subsurface exploration and laboratory testing programs, performed complex slope -stability and ' settlement analyses, and .. performed geologic hazard evaluations for projects with acute seismic, liquefaction, settlement, coastal bluff erosion, slope -instability and naturally -occurring asbestos concerns. He has performed geologic field mapping at a variety of sites where project demands required larger -scale mapping than has been performed for existing, published maps. He has also performed geologic inspection and testing during construction for projects including landslide remediation, deep foundation construction, soil nails, rock anchors and tiebacks, and levee construction. One of Mike's most unique projects included an investigation of landslide activity on public property which had impacted a large commercial development just outside the mapped limits of the Hayward Fault zone. Following subsurface exploration with rotary -wash and wireline coring equipment and installation of slope inclinometers and permanent in-situ instrumentation, the results of regular slope and groundwater monitoring indicated that movement had occurred along several compound failure planes, and that continued movement due to drag -folding of weak Orinda Formation siltstone bedrock by the nearby Hayward Fault was likely to occur. Currently, additional monitoring and development of mitigation measures to protect the development from expected future landslide activity is being cooperatively considered by the development owner and the City.

A shallow landslide blocked drainage on Molino Avenue diverting it over the side into Cascade Creek. This flow combined with high flows in the creek undercut the steep creek bank slope triggering a major landslide. Repair of the landslide and reopening of Molino Avenue was a very high priority for the City of Mill Valley. Miller Pacific Engineering Group responded at once to the city's emergency call. We made an on-site inspection and evaluation of the entire slope, and developed the repair concept and consulted with the emergency repair contractor. After the approval of the repair method MPEG prepared a detailed plan and specifications. During the repair MPEG provided continuing inspection and oversight of the work. Molino Avenue was reopened only twelve days after the slide occurred. The repair consists of a lower section of 1 ton boulder rip rap placed on the bedrock creek bottom and sloped at 0.2 horizontal to 1 vertical. The upper section, sloped at 1 horizontal to 1 vertical, was composed of three-quarter ton riprap. The backside of the repair was protected with a curtain of stabilizing fabric, and a subsurface drain. The entire rip rap section was slush grouted, as it was constructed, with a surface zone reserved for a soil cover, erosion control mat and vegetative cover. 141 MolinoSlide-1-16 MILLER PACIFIC fN61NffRIR6 GROUP PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS THROCKMORTON RIDGE FIRE STATION Marin County, California Client: County of Marin Architect: C3 Design Alliance The new Throckmorton Ridge Fire Station is a three -engine -bay, rustic lodge -style facility located on the beautiful Panoramic Highway adjacent to Mount Tamalpais near Mill Valley. The building is located at the same site as an older obsolete structure. The initial geotechnical evaluation focused on the geologic setting, seismicity, identification of a cut -fill transition extending through the proposed building, and concerns about the stability of the steep fill slope below the site. We subsequently explored site conditions with test borings and prepared geotechnical recommendations and design criteria for the project; including a unique foundation of shallow spread footing foundations bearing on bedrock throughout most of the building combined with drilled, cast -in-place piers supporting the downhill side of the building to account for the deeper bedrock and slope. The steep fill slope below the site was found to have poor stability and we recommended mitigation measures which consisted of excavating weak soils, installing subdrains and reconstructing the slope with compacted fill. Additional services included evaluation of 1,200 -feet of new sanitary sewer using test borings and test pits to determine excavation conditions in potentially variable Franciscan Melange bedrock.

The existing Juvenile Hall is located on a 5 -acre portion in the northwest corner of the larger 18 -acre Solano County campus. The campus is located at 2100 West Texas Street in Fairfield, California. The proposed 30,000 square -foot addition was built using concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction with a slab -on -grade floor. Other elements included parking lots, underground utilities, security walls, access roads, play courts and concrete walkways. Our geotechnical evaluation included the advancement of three borings, laboratory testing and development of geotechnical engineering parameters for design of the building foundations and grading recommendations. During exploration, we encountered moderately to highly expansive soils which placed a significant constraint on the foundation design. Of the alternatives to mitigate this condition, the client elected to over -excavate the top few feet of soil and replace with non -expansive engineered fill. During construction, we observed the foundation system preparation for the main building, which was built on a thickened reinforced concrete slab and security walls, which were constructed on a drilled pier foundation system. Additionally, we observed and tested subgrade for asphalt concrete paved parking lots and access roads. 41 ft16 a "i mt__ iL 145SolanoCountyJuvenileHall9-17-10 BILLER PACIFIC EN61NffBIN6 6RIIIP PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS CROWN ROAD LANDSLIDE REPAIR Marin County, California Client: Marin County Public Works Department As a result of the FEMA "disaster" storms of December 31, 2005 and April 2006, several dozen landslides damaged Marin County roads, parks, and open space areas. Marin County engaged Miller Pacific directly or as a sub -consultant to Harris & Associates to provide emergency consultation, and to investigate the slides and prepare complete design repair plans. In other cases we provided geotechnical recommendations and design criteria to the project Structural Engineer. By the end of 2008, we will have designed and/or observed construction on over 30 landslides that occurred due to the 2005/2006 FEMA disaster events. The Crown Road at Idlewood Road intersection (shown below) was the site of the largest and most expensive (+/- $2,000,000) landslide that damaged County roads. MPEG provided consultation during emergency response efforts when a 30 -inch water main was threatened. We subsequently investigated the site with test borings and inclinometers that were used to determine the depth of landslide movement (up to 45 feet below road grade) and to model slope stability. The repair consisted of a 200 foot long row of 3 -foot diameter drilled piers, spaced 7 - feet on center, along the edge of the road and a 125 foot long row of 3 -foot diameter drilled piers, spaced 7 feet on center, about 25 to 50 feet uphill from the lower row of piers. Both structures are laterally supported by 240 kip tiebacks consisting of double -corrosion protected bundled strands that are up to 110 feet in length. The work was completed in 2007.

Primary and Non -Contributory Only with respect to insurance provided to an additional insured in 1.0. — Additional Insured If Required by contract, the following provisions apply: 1) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract: This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract or written agreement that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other Insurance by the method described in Other Insurance Clause. 2) Primary and Non -Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract: If you have agreed in a written contract or written agreement that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance. Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured. When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers. When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of: (1) The total amount that all such other that this insurance would pay for the loss in the absence'of this insurance; and (2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance. We will share the remaining loss, if any, by method described in Other Insurance 5.d. Waiver of Subrogation We waive any right of recovery we may have against any person or organization with whom you have a written contract that requires such waiver because of payment we make for damages under the Coverage Form. Rev 5.14 Page 1 of 1 POLICY NUMBER: 84SBWDU6676 BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE INSURED: Miller Pacific Engineering Group SS 00 08 04 05 ADDITIONAL COVERAGES BY WRITTEN CONTRACT, AGREEMENT OR PERMIT This is a summary of the coverage provided under the following form (complete form available): BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM SS 00 08 04 05 Additional Insured When Required by Written Contract, Written Agreement or Permit WHO IS AN INSURED under Section C. is amended to include as an additional insured, but only with respect to liability for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury" caused, in whole or in part, by your acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf: (a) In the performance of your ongoing operations; (b) In connection with your premises owned by or rented to you; or (c) In connection with "your work" and included within the "products completed operations hazard", but only if (i) The written contract or written agreement requires you to provide such coverage to such additional insured; and (ii) This Coverage Part provides coverage for "bodily Injury" or "property damage" included within the "products completed operations hazard". The person(s) or organization(s) are additional insureds when you have agreed, in a written contract, written agreement or because of a permit issued by a state or political subdivision, that such person or organization be added as an additional insured on your policy, provided the injury or damage occurs subsequent to the execution of the contract or agreement, or the issuance of the permit. A person or organization is an additional insured under the provision only for that period of time required by the contract, agreement or permit. With respect to the insurance afforded to the additional insured, this insurance does not apply to: "Bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury" arising out of the rendering of, or failure to render, any professional architectural, engineering or surveying services, including: (a) The preparing, approving, or failure to prepare or approve, maps, shop drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, field orders, change orders, designs or drawings and specification: or (b) Supervisory, inspection, architectural or engineering activities. The limits of insurance that apply to additional insureds are described in Section D. — Limits Of Insurance. How this insurance applies when other insurance is available to an additional insured is described in the Other Insurance Condition in Section E. — Liability And Medical Expenses General Conditions. No person or organization is an insured with respect to the conduct of any current or past partnership, joint venture or limited liability company that is not shown as a Named Insured in the Declarations. Other Insurance If other valid and collectible insurance is available for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows: When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance: That is other insurance available to an additional insured. However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part: (a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract: This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. (b) Primary And Non -Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract: If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance. Rev 5.14 Page 1 of 2 BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM Summary SS 00 08 04 05 Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured. c. Method Of Sharing If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. Waiver of Subrogation If you have waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided you waived your rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage Rev 5.14 Page 2 of 2 ,eco CERTIFICATE OF LIABILITY INSURANCE DATBE(MM;�/YYYY, THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED AS A MATTER OF INFORMATION ONLY AND CONFERS NO RIGHTS UPON THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER.
