ATTACHMENT A
Project Team
SHN's Construction Management Team is comprised of Registered Civil and Geotechnical Engineers,
Certified Construction Inspectors and Materials Testing Technicians. Our team has extensive
experience managing construction projects from small road construction projects to complex utility
facilities. Below is an organization chart depicting the key personnel identified for the City's project.
Resumes of these staff members are in Attachment A.

Project Approach
Our project understanding and scope of work is based upon a review of the Project plans and
specifications and the specific items of work identified in the Request for Proposal (RFP) Construction
Management and Inspection Services for North State Street Sewer Main Improvement Project - Specification
No. 14-04. Following is a discussion of SHN's approach to providing the specific construction
management /inspection services outlined in the RFP.
Resident Engineer Duties
We are prepared to offer Resident Engineering services for the successful completion of the Project. The
Resident Engineer services will include review and response to Requests for Information in a timely
manner, review of construction inspector's daily reports and the review and verification of Contractor's
Pay Requests.

Daily Construction Inspection/ Testing as Required by the Plans and
Specifications
We propose to provide 30 calendar days (assume 22
working days) of on -site construction inspection
services for the Project from our Willits office. In
addition to the on -site inspection services, our
construction inspector will attend the project kickoff
meeting and will maintain as built conditions for final
reporting. The construction inspector will monitor
quality assurance, Contractor compliance with the
Project plans and specifications, compliance with
safety and environmental standards, and provide
daily reporting to the City and the resident engineer.
Our construction inspector will also provide
subgrade, native fill and aggregate base compaction
testing and sampling and asphalt concrete
compaction testing and sampling using Caltrans
Standard Test Methods. Our inspectors are Caltrans
certified to provide these services while providing
daily inspection, thereby saving the City and the
Project the cost of having an additional technician on call for the testing. Having the construction
inspector perform construction materials compliance testing will not only save the cost of an additional
technician, but will avoid potential delays to the Project while awaiting a separate testing technician.
The construction inspector will collect construction materials samples as required in the Project
specifications and take them to our Caltrans certified Willits laboratory for testing and analysis. The
construction inspector will be paid prevailing wage rates as required by the California Department of
Industrial Relations. No travel time, mileage or per diem will be charged for the construction inspector.
Review and Response to Requests for Information
Our Resident Engineer will review all Contractor questions and requests for information. Questions
and requests for information will be answered by an inspection of the Project plans and specifications,
review of adopted testing procedures and review of generally accepted industry standards. Because of
our extensive experience with similar projects, our staff will provide prompt responses to requests for
information. Our resident engineer will also review and respond to Contractor's submittals. SHN
staff will work closely and cooperatively with the Contractor, Project Engineer and the City to respond
to construction issues to avoid delays to the construction schedule.
SHN provided construction staking, materials testing,
and daily field inspection during construction of the half
mile long Riverside Park Trail.

Review and Verification of Contractor's Pay Requests
Based on the construction schedule SHN staff envisions processing one pay request with the
Contractor. SHN will check the submitted invoice, and forward it for approvals and processing by the
City. We are proficient in obtaining and maintaining the records necessary for the Project closure
reporting.
Review and Verification of Contractor's Prevailing Wage Payroll Reports
Our staff will review Contractor's Certified Payrolls to assure that they are in compliance with State
and Federal labor laws. At the preconstruction meeting, SHN staff will review certified payroll and
submittal requirements, apprentice requirements including checking apprentice /trainee registrations,
procedures for payment suspension, underpayment penalties, debarment issues, licensing
requirements, and respond to inquiries from Contractor and Subcontractors. At the conclusion of the
project, the City will be provided with the complete prevailing wage payroll reports and
documentation for the project file.
Compiling As -Built Information
A. Maintain 1 set of as -built drawings using an
unaltered set of original project plans to show
all as- constructed information, including:
1. Any plan clarification or Change Order
changes.
2. Location of any underground utilities
3. Location, size, type, and manufacturer of
major products or components used in the
work.
B. Neatly prepare as -build drawings as follows:
1. Place markings on the project record
drawings using red ink or red pencil.
2. Do not eradicate or write over original
figures.
3. Line out superseded material.
4. Submit additional drawings if the
required information cannot be clearly shown on the original set of project plans. The
additional drawings must be at least 11 by 17 inches and at most 24 by 36 inches.
C. Review the as -built drawings with the design firm at the completion of the project to assure that
all changes and other required information are being recorded.
SHN provided Resident Engineering, Environmental
Engineering and Construction Inspection Services for the
construction of the Orchard Avenue Bridge. The Project
was completed ahead of schedule and below the
estimated construction management budget.
Project Schedule
Every project is unique with it challenges and opportunities and the execution must be planned
carefully. SHN will monitor the contractor's progress in relation to the construction schedule on an
ongoing basis. It is important to identify upcoming activities which require attention, and to recognize
events which have the potential to delay the execution of the project work. Together with knowledge
of the associated cost of delays, the City can make the best decisions.

Proposed Fee
We understand that the Project is projected to have a construction period of twenty two working days.
Because construction projects often proceed on a schedule that is unforeseeable, we have estimated our
costs based upon an assumption that the project will be completed in the projected twenty two working
day period. However, it is our experience with projects similar to this one that the actual construction
duration is often shorter than what was scheduled. Because the project is located in a heavily traveled
city street, our estimated fees are based on the full number of working days for the Project for eight
hours a day regular time (second shift night work will include a premium as required by the
Department of Industrial Relations). In the event that the project is completed in a shorter time frame,
the City will be invoiced only for those hours actually spent to complete the Project construction
management and inspection. We propose to provide the required services on accrued time and
expenses as set forth below and the final cost will not exceed $29,815. SRN's itemized hourly rate fee
schedule can be found in Appendix B.
