Subject: Proposal to Provide Construction Testing Services for the Sewer and Water
Replacement Project, Specification No. 16-10
Dear Mr. Thiele:
Thank you for this opportunity for SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. (SHN), to offer the
following proposal to the City of Ukiah (City) to provide Construction Materials Testing for the Water
and Sewer Replacement Project (Project). Following is a brief discussion of SHN's construction
materials testing services qualifications, our project understanding including scope of services, and our
proposed fee estimate.
Firm Qualifications
SHN's construction materials testing staff is comprised of civil engineers, certified construction
inspectors, and material testers. Our field and laboratory testing technicians are certified by Caltrans,
American Concrete Institute (ACI), National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies
(NICET), International Code Council (ICC) and our laboratory is accredited by Caltrans and the
AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP). Our laboratory and field technicians use state of the art,
calibrated testing equipment to provide accurate and timely construction materials compliance analysis.
Refer to Attachment B - Technician and Laboratory Certifications.
References
SHN has provided construction materials testing services for the City of Ukiah, Mendocino County,
County of Lake, City of Fort Bragg, City of Willits, Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital, and Mendocino
Coast District Hospital among others. Our recent construction materials testing services
projects include:
❖ North State Street Sewer Main Improvements - City of Ukiah Dept. of Public Works - client
contact: Jarod Thiele, 300 Seminary Ave., Ukiah, CA 95482-5400, 707463-6755
❖ Chestnut Street Corridor Improvements - City of Fort Bragg - client contact: Tom Varga, 416
North Franklin Street, Fort Bragg, CA 95437, 707-961-2823
❖ Summers Lane Reservoir - City of Fort Bragg - client contact: Sergio Fuentes, 416 North Franklin
Street, Fort Bragg, CA, 707-961-2823
Project Understanding and Scope of Work
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) received on
February 21, 2017. Following is a discussion of SHN's approach to providing the specific construction
materials testing services outlined in the RFP.

Scheduling and Reporting of Test Results
The request for proposals (RFP) indicates a construction start date of February 27, 2017, however
compaction testing of trench backfill is not anticipated until mid-March 2017. SHN will be in direct
contact with the City Engineer or his designee for scheduling of any field sampling and/or testing
activities, with a minimum notice of twenty four hours. Test results of compaction tests will be provided
to our client representative in the field immediately upon completion of testing, followed by a written
test report within a forty eight hour period. Results of all laboratory testing will be reported in writing
within a forty eight hour period from the time the testing is completed.
Compaction Testing
Based on the anticipated amount of individual compaction tests requested in the RFP (88 on
sewer/ water trench backfill & 11 on lateral trench backfill), and the cumulative total length and depth of
utility trench, and the amount of work days anticipated, we estimate an average of three compaction
tests per day, with a testing frequency of one test per two hundred linear feet of pipe installed, at depth
intervals of approximately twelve inches, for a total of 33 days. We propose to provide 2 hours of on-site
compaction testing services for each site visit. Lateral trenches can be tested for relative compaction on a
random basis at the discretion of the project inspector. Our testing technician will also provide subgrade
and aggregate base compaction testing for the roadway improvements upon the completion of the sewer
and water mains installation on each of the three roads. All soils compaction testing will be performed
in accordance with Caltrans method CT 231 (nuclear method). Subsequent asphalt paving will be tested
in accordance with Caltrans test method CT 375 (nuclear method). We propose to perform the asphalt
pavement compaction testing on a total of five individual days when the anticipated total daily quantity
of asphalt is at least 300 tons or greater.
Materials Testing
The testing technician will collect construction materials samples as required in the Project specifications
and transport them to our Caltrans certified Willits laboratory for testing and analysis. The scope of
services for materials testing requested in the RFP includes three individual samples of trench backfill to
be tested for quality requirements (Sand Equivalent CT 217, and Sieve Analysis CT 202). Sampling of
trench backfill material for the purpose of quality testing can be performed while on site for compaction
testing and lead time for laboratory testing and reporting of test results are typically within 48 hours of
sampling in the field. A minimum of one full five gallon bucket of material, sampled in accordance with
Caltrans sampling method CT 125, is required to ensure the minimum amount of materials to perform
laboratory quality testing. Sampling events will be coordinated with the city of Ukiah Inspector and/or
the contractor's representative.
Proposed Fee
We understand that the Project is projected to have a construction period of 180 working days. Because
construction projects often proceed on a schedule that is unforeseeable, we have estimated our costs
based upon an assumption that our scope of services will be completed in 38 nonconsecutive working
days. Our estimated fees are based on daily rates, including two hour onsite, plus travel expenses, for
the number of working days anticipated for our scope of work on the Project. SHN does not have
minimum time charges per site visit and we will invoice the City only for time spent performing the
required services. Where possible, we will combine multiple tasks into one trip to reduce testing and
inspection costs for the project.

Subject: Proposal to Provide Construction Testing Services for the Sewer and Water
Replacement Project, Specification No. 16-10
Dear Mr. Thiele:
Thank you for this opportunity for SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. (SHN), to offer the
following proposal to the City of Ukiah (City) to provide Construction Materials Testing for the Water
and Sewer Replacement Project (Project). Following is a brief discussion of SHN's construction
materials testing services qualifications, our project understanding including scope of services, and our
proposed fee estimate.
Firm Qualifications
SHN's construction materials testing staff is comprised of civil engineers, certified construction
inspectors, and material testers. Our field and laboratory testing technicians are certified by Caltrans,
American Concrete Institute (ACI), National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies
(NICET), International Code Council (ICC) and our laboratory is accredited by Caltrans and the
AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP). Our laboratory and field technicians use state of the art,
calibrated testing equipment to provide accurate and timely construction materials compliance analysis.
Refer to Attachment B - Technician and Laboratory Certifications.
References
SHN has provided construction materials testing services for the City of Ukiah, Mendocino County,
County of Lake, City of Fort Bragg, City of Willits, Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital, and Mendocino
Coast District Hospital among others. Our recent construction materials testing services
projects include:
❖ North State Street Sewer Main Improvements - City of Ukiah Dept. of Public Works - client
contact: Jarod Thiele, 300 Seminary Ave., Ukiah, CA 95482-5400, 707-463-6755
❖ Chestnut Street Corridor Improvements - City of Fort Bragg - client contact: Tom Varga, 416
North Franklin Street, Fort Bragg, CA 95437, 707-961-2823
❖ Summers Lane Reservoir - City of Fort Bragg - client contact: Sergio Fuentes, 416 North Franklin
Street, Fort Bragg, CA, 707-961-2823
Project Understanding and Scope of Work
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) received on
February 21, 2017. Following is a discussion of SHN's approach to providing the specific construction
materials testing services outlined in the RFP.

Scheduling and Reporting of Test Results
The request for proposals (RFP) indicates a construction start date of February 27, 2017, however
compaction testing of trench backfill is not anticipated until mid-March 2017. SHN will be in direct
contact with the City Engineer or his designee for scheduling of any field sampling and/or testing
activities, with a minimum notice of twenty four hours. Test results of compaction tests will be provided
to our client representative in the field immediately upon completion of testing, followed by a written
test report within a forty eight hour period. Results of all laboratory testing will be reported in writing
within a forty eight hour period from the time the testing is completed.
Compaction Testing
Based on the anticipated amount of individual compaction tests requested in the RFP (88 on
sewer/water trench backfill & 11 on lateral trench backfill), and the cumulative total length and depth of
utility trench, and the amount of work days anticipated, we estimate an average of three compaction
tests per day, with a testing frequency of one test per two hundred linear feet of pipe installed, at depth
intervals of approximately twelve inches, for a total of 33 days. We propose to provide 2 hours of on-site
compaction testing services for each site visit. Lateral trenches can be tested for relative compaction on a
random basis at the discretion of the project inspector. Our testing technician will also provide subgrade
and aggregate base compaction testing for the roadway improvements upon the completion of the sewer
and water mains installation on each of the three roads. All soils compaction testing will be performed
in accordance with Caltrans method CT 231 (nuclear method). Subsequent asphalt paving will be tested
in accordance with Caltrans test method CT 375 (nuclear method). We propose to perform the asphalt
pavement compaction testing on a total of five individual days when the anticipated total daily quantity
of asphalt is at least 300 tons or greater.
Materials Testing
The testing technician will collect construction materials samples as required in the Project specifications
and transport them to our Caltrans certified Willits laboratory for testing and analysis. The scope of
services for materials testing requested in the RFP includes three individual samples of trench backfill to
be tested for quality requirements (Sand Equivalent CT 217, and Sieve Analysis CT 202). Sampling of
trench backfill material for the purpose of quality testing can be performed while on site for compaction
testing and lead time for laboratory testing and reporting of test results are typically within 48 hours of
sampling in the field. A minimum of one full five gallon bucket of material, sampled in accordance with
Caltrans sampling method CT 125, is required to ensure the minimum amount of materials to perform
laboratory quality testing. Sampling events will be coordinated with the city of Ukiah Inspector and/or
the contractor's representative.
Proposed Fee
We understand that the Project is projected to have a construction period of 180 working days. Because
construction projects often proceed on a schedule that is unforeseeable, we have estimated our costs
based upon an assumption that our scope of services will be completed in 38 nonconsecutive working
days. Our estimated fees are based on daily rates, including two hour onsite, plus travel expenses, for
the number of working days anticipated for our scope of work on the Project. SHN does not have
minimum time charges per site visit and we will invoice the City only for time spent performing the
required services. Where possible, we will combine multiple tasks into one trip to reduce testing and
inspection costs for the project.
