SCOPE OF SERIVCES

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING SERVICES FOR 2015 16-00453-00-ES

McHenry County

Introduction Phase III engineering services are required to perform the quality assurance responsibilities of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and/or Portland cement concrete (PCC) construction , pavement preservation processes, and subgrade soils inspection. The project includes Complete Quality Assurance (QA) Testing and QA management in accordance with IDOT’s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, IDOT’s QC/QA Program for Mixtures and any appropriate contract special provisions and plan notes or details. Quality Assurance (QA) oversight and Contractor’s Quality Control (QC) by the same Consultant, or one of their Sub-consultants, on the same project or on material coming from the same plant are prohibited. QA manager will work with project RE and the contractor to insure that the proper frequency of testing is accomplished for each individual project. All Laboratory testing will be performed in an IDOT certified laboratory. The Consultant’s work may include plant and on-site inspections, sampling and material testing. The Consultant will carry out quality assurance and management duties as defined in the construction contract and the Consultant agreement. The Consultant shall maintain records and submit documentation of all QC and QA activities required by the construction contract. A working knowledge of IDOT’s MISTIC system is preferred. Laboratory and field personnel assigned to this contract must be QA/QC certified in the areas required. The Consultant must have the ability to review for compliance and performance mix designs and mixture proportioning plant reports prepared by the Contractor. All work will be on an on-call basis and charged according to the attached rate schedule.

Project Approach Inspection & Testing Whether conducting a project under the specifications for QC/QA, PFP, or QCP, it is critical that inspection and testing be performed by qualified staff with a solid understanding of the project. S.T.A.T.E. Testing has proven itself of the course of several construction seasons to have a mastery of the specification and excellent understanding of the County’s expectations and needs.

Prior to commencement of construction for any project, it is important to review the relevant plans and specification to ensure that the proper materials, inspection and enforcement mechanisms can be put in place to make sure the contactor produces a satisfactory roadway.

In order to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of operations, S.T.A.T.E. Testing will utilize, wherever possible, the same staff that are currently serving the County. Careful coordination with McHenry County DOT and the individual project teams will ensure that S.T.A.T.E. Testing is able to optimized coverage avoiding gaps and keeping the budget in check. We understand that while this project will, at times, require 100% of our primary assigned QA manager/technician, this is not a full time, dedicated position. S.T.A.T.E. Testing will assign other duties as necessary to our primary technician(s) and make the staff available as needed. McHenry County work will be top priority for assigned staff and additional resources will be made available as workload demands. We have demonstrated a strong ability to perform in this fashion and will continue if selected to provide services again.

Scheduling Scheduling of all QA activities will be coordinated through Brandy Long of S.T.A.T.E. Testing. In addition to being the primary point of contact for the County, she will also serve as the primary field agent for S.T.A.T.E. Testing. All her activities will be coordinated with S.T.A.T.E. Testing central dispatch to ensure adequate coverage in the event that Ms. Long is made unavailable for any period of time.

Where possible, S.T.A.T.E. Testing will expect to have a schedule for the next day by 4:00 PM the day prior. After hours emergency contact information for both Ms. Long and central dispatch will be provided to all pertinent County personnel to attempt to accommodate last minute schedule additions or cancellations. Where feasible, continuity of staff will be maintained in these situations. If other staff must be assigned, the County will be notified and central dispatch will coordinate transfer of relevant information to the assigned field staff.

When the volume of work exceeds the coverage ability of Ms. Long, additional staff will be assigned as needed. These technicians will be assigned by central dispatch and will coordinate their activities with Ms. Long. She will oversee their work and review their reports for accuracy and continuity with County policy prior to submitting them to the County for review and acceptance.

2

Timeliness S.T.A.T.E. Testing recognizes the importance of not only accurate, but timely reporting of all test documentation in the construction process. We will work with McHenry County to establish clear reporting procedures and deadlines for all project work. Where 24 hour or 48 documentation turnaround is required, it will be supplied in a rapid, efficient manner. All other paperwork will be provided as quickly as feasible and always within agreed upon deadlines. Much of the paperwork and reporting may eventually transition to electronic formats. S.T.A.T.E. Testing will work with McHenry County to support this transition where desired.

Equipment S.T.A.T.E. Testing maintains a full suite of field gear in order to provide inspection and testing services for a full range of civil applications. It is out policy to maintain field gear in prime condition in order to ensure minimal downtime in the field. Backup equipment is readily available. With the nearby location of our headquarters, replacement equipment for field support is available on-demand for our McHenry County teams.

Given the typical makeup of the McHenry County DOT construction schedule, nuclear density gauges are of particular concern. S.T.A.T.E. Testing currently maintains a fleet of 13 nuclear density gauges. It is standard policy to use a minimum of 2 gauges when performing field correlations in order to ensure that downtime is avoided if a correlated gauge malfunctions or is unavailable during paving. S.T.A.T.E. Testing also maintains a thin-lift nuclear density gauge for use in McHenry County DOT’s thin-lift overlay programs. All density technicians maintain the appropriate safety and testing certifications to operate the required equipment.

Additional equipment such as slump cones, concrete air meters, concrete cylinder molds, ASTM sand patch texture testing kit, static cone penetrometers (SCP) and dynamic cone penetrometers (DCP) are available with ample spares to support any field activities that McHenry County may require. As new devices become desirable for use in the field, S.T.A.T.E. Testing actively explores their use and acquires or outsources them as necessary. If heavy geotechnical borings are required, S.T.A.T.E. Testing will call upon a sub-contractor to perform the work. This addition to the team would be approved by McHenry County prior to start of any work.

The proximity of our East Dundee headquarters to McHenry County makes the transport and testing of any required concrete cylinders a simple and cost-effective process. This facility is equipped to cure specimens and perform all required strength tests. If necessary, testing of beams can be performed in the field to meet specific project requirements.

Where PG grading of asphalt binders may be required, S.T.A.T.E. Testing will send samples out to a qualified laboratory and provide the results, along with our analysis, to the County. Any outsourced lab work will be pre-approved by the County.

Engineering In addition to a large staff of highly qualified, well equipped field and laboratory technicians, S.T.A.T.E. Testing prides itself on being the premier materials and construction engineering firms in the state. Our staff of licensed professional engineers bring to our customers a wide array of technical expertise that

3

covers the full spectrum of highway construction materials and techniques. We provide material design, research, training, and implementation services that allow our customers to solve complex problems, navigate specification changes, and take advantage of industry advancements. Furthermore, we have engineers working in McHenry County on various IDOT and Tollway projects that are available if a need arises on short notice.

We are available on-demand to take on whatever the challenges the County may present. These may be in the areas of forensic investigation of current projects, providing assistance with future project/treatment selection, consultation on new treatment mechanisms, or value engineering. Other prime focus areas for S.T.A.T.E. Testing is working with agencies and contractors on how to complete projects in a high quality, timely fashion when weather conditions or project constraints make it necessary to work outside the bounds of the specifications. We specialized expertise in ensuring that “must-complete” projects meet their schedule without sacrificing life-cycle performance.Sustainability Improvements

S.T.A.T.E. Testing has established itself as the go to source for the implementation of green technology in the road construction industry. With practical research and materials design, combined with comprehensive knowledge of quality management, S.T.A.T.E. Testing has helped bring many of the state’s most innovative, sustainable construction practices from inception to implementation.

McHenry County, with the assistance of S.T.A.T.E. Testing has been able to successfully develop, refine, and maintain its thin-lift overlay program as part of its pavement management practices. When properly applied and constructed, this innovative pavement treatment allows McHenry County to take maximum advantage of the structural life of its highways and provide improved wearing surfaces for far more roadway than traditional mill-and-fill practices would allow.

Our engineering and laboratory staff are at the cutting edge of the industry as the green-technology movement drives us to change the materials and means we use to build roads. The asphalt industry is currently leading the way. S.T.A.T.E. Testing is leading the way to help not only incorporate more recycled materials, but also to ensure that the materials produced are better than the materials we used to make. We believe firmly that the best way to increase the sustainability of our highways is to make them last longer, thereby reducing the amount of materials, money, and pollution required to maintain them in the future.

To this end, we are extensively involved in research to develop performance tests and criteria to evaluate the cracking potential of HMA mixtures. S.T.A.T.E. Testing serves as the lab of reference for low temperature fracture testing for the Chicago DOT, IDOT District 1, O’Hare Modernization Program, and the Illinois Tollway. The Hamburg Wheel test and the Disk-shaped Compact Tension (DCT) test have proven to be effective book-end performance tests for HMA. Using the results of this testing, we are able to help ensure that the push to use more asphalt recovered from recycled sources does not result in brittle HMA mixtures that will deteriorate prematurely. No other firm in Illinois is nearly as involved in this process.

Our ongoing efforts to improve the use and quality of green technology in the road construction industry have yielded a number of significant advancements. This starts with our Owner Jay Behnke, the IRTBA Green Council Chairman, who has worked to implement the following projects:

4

• In 2013 we developed a high-recycle content local street mix that allowed the City of Chicago to provide a workable HMA to their crews that incorporate warm-mix additive (which helps improve the compaction and hence the durability of the mix) while simultaneously lowering the cost to the city.

• In 2011, S.T.A.T.E. Testing designed and oversaw the placement of the CDOT Michigan Avenue overlay. This SMA mixture was designed with a 45% ABR and used a GTR modified asphalt binder. In spite of the high-traffic, relatively thin-lift thickness, and sub-optimal placement conditions, the project is holding up extremely well. Very little cracking is observed and no rutting. CDOT was ultimately awarded the first ever NAPA Environmental Leadership Award for this project.

We are excited about the work in this area of the industry and proud of the results we have achieved. We feel that it is critical that improvements continue to be made in our industry in further enhance our ability to provide not only financial stewardship, but environmental stewardship of the public trust. Working together with McHenry County DOT, we are confident that we can bring these efforts to bear in a region where we can see the benefits first hand.Organizational Chart
