SUBJECT: MATERIAL TESTING SERVICES FOR 2016 CIP PROJECTS
REQUEST
Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a consultant services agreement with Miller
Pacific Engineering Group in an estimated amount of $74,000 for materials testing services for
various CIP projects for calendar year 2016.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute consultant services agreement.
DISCUSSION
On December 1, 2015, staff advertised a request for proposals (RFP) for materials testing services
for various City CIP projects anticipated to be awarded during the 2016 calendar year.
The scope of work included in the RFP generally consists of laboratory and field work required
to verify that the materials provided and installed by contractors who are awarded City CIP
construction projects meet the requirements of the project specifications. The work typically
includes review of contractor submitted mix designs for Portland cement concrete and asphalt
concrete before the materials are incorporated into the work, as well as on-site field sampling and
testing. Additional services such as field compaction testing, sieve analysis of granular
materials, rebar inspections and special steel inspections will be required depending upon the
nature of the project. Design support services also are sometimes needed during the project
development phase of various projects for items such as hazardous materials surveys and
pavement coring.
The City identified eleven CIP projects with the potential to be awarded in 2016. Six proposals
were received in response to the RFP. Staff evaluated the six responses, with Miller Pacific
Engineering Group, receiving the highest overall score.

Geotechnical Field and Laboratory Testinci
Evaluation of Subsurface ConditionsSubsurface exploration is utilized to evaluate the geologicconditions and soil profiles. For shallow exploration, wecustomarily utilize auger drilling equipment or exploratorytrenches to characterize subsurface conditions and identifysignificant geologic and geotechnical features that may affectproject development. For soft soils or deep exploration, we willutilize rotary-wash drilling techniques or cone penetration tests(OPTs). Soil sampling is performed with split barrel samplerswith liner tubes, thin walled Shelby tubes or thin walled pistonsamplers. Seismic refraction lines and rock coring are utilizedto estimate rock hardness and excavation characteristics.
Laboratory TestingOur laboratory is specially equipped for geotechnical soil testingincluding classification, engineering properties, and compaction
‘•- characteristics. Several of the testing apparatus are automatedwith dedicated computers used for data acquisition.
Classification tests include moisture content, dry density, grain size analysis, plasticity (swellshrink) properties, specific gravity, and corrosion potential. Tests to evaluate engineeringproperties include strength tests (direct shear, unconfined compression, and triaxialcompression), consolidation and expansion index. For compaction characteristics, we performlaboratory compaction tests (Caltrans 216 and ASTM 1557) todetermine maximum density and optimum moisture content. Forpavement design, subgrade samples are tested for ResistanceValue (R-Value.) Aggregate baserock and subbase materials aretested to confirm gradation and durability meet Caltrans standardspecifications. Our laboratory is certified for Caltrans materialstesting. When job conditions warrant, we can establish on-sitelaboratory facilities for compaction testing, concrete sampling andother construction related testing. Where warranted specializedtesting is arranged with associated laboratories.
Construction Inspection and TestingWe provide geotechnical consultation, inspection and testingduring construction. We will evaluate any geotechnical issuesthat arise during construction and develop mitigation options ina timely manner so that delays in the construction schedule areminimized. We provide quality control field testing to confirmsoil conditions are as expected and that the contractors work isperformed in accordance with the project specifications. Ourconstruction inspection services include inspection and testingof site preparation, keyway and slope excavations, overexcavation of unstable soils, subsurface drainage, structural fill,foundation subgrade, drilled cast-in-place piers, driven piles,reinforced earth slopes and walls, soil nails, tiebacks, rockanchors, utility trench backfill, concrete and pavement sections.

THROCKMORTON RIDGE FIRE STATIONMann County, CaliforniaClient: County of MannArchitect: C3 Design Alliance
The new Throckmorton Ridge Fire Station is a three-engine-bay, rustic lodge-style facilitylocated 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 geotechnicalevaluation focused on the geologic setting, seismicity, identification of a cut-fill transitionextending through the proposed building, and concerns about the stability of the steep fillslope below the site. We subsequently explored site conditions with test borings andprepared geotechnical recommendations and design criteria for the project; including aunique foundation of shallow spread footing foundations bearing on bedrock throughout mostof the building combined with drilled, cast-in-place piers supporting the downhill side of thebuilding to account for the deeper bedrock and slope. The steep fill slope below the site wasfound to have poor stability and we recommended mitigation measures which consisted ofexcavating 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 boringsand test pits to determine excavation conditions in potentially variable Franciscan Mélangebedrock.
We provided geotechnical consultation and review during development of the project plansand inspected site grading and foundation excavations during construction to verify ourfindings and the contractors’ conformance to the design requirements.

CROWN ROAD LANDSLIDE REPAIRMann County, CaliforniaClient: Macin County Public Works Department
As a result of the FEMA “disaster” storms of December 31, 2005 and April 2006, several dozenlandslides damaged Mann County roads, parks, and open space areas. Mann County engagedMiller Pacific directly or as a sub-consultant to Harris & Associates to provide emergencyconsultation, and to investigate the slides and prepare complete design repair plans. In othercases we provided geotechnical recommendations and design criteria to the project StructuralEngineer. By the end of 2008, we will have designed and/or observed construction on over 30landslides that occurred due to the 2005/2006 FEMA disaster events.
The Crown Road at ldlewood Road intersection (shown below) was the site of the largest andmost expensive (+/- $2,000,000) landslide that damaged County roads. MPEG providedconsultation 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 todetermine the depth of landslide movement (up to 45 feet below road grade) and to model slopestability. 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 drilledpiers, spaced 7 feet on center, about 25 to 50 feet uphill from the lower row of piers. Bothstructures are laterally supported by 240 kip tiebacks consisting of double-corrosion protectedbundled strands that are up to 110 feet in length. The work was completed in 2007.

BUCK CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN AGING, NOVATOClient: Buck Center for Research in AgingArchitect: I. M. Pei, New York
The Buck Center campus includes administration and research laboratory buildings, a longsweeping access road, a service road, all underground utilities and extensive parking. Theinitial construction required heavy grading with cuts as much as 40 feet, landslide repair, sub-drainage, and fills up to 70 feet. The first buildings consisted of a spectacular four-storyheadquarters building with an atrium, a central core, and an underground laboratory. Asecond laboratory building connects to the administration building through a tunnel.
The planning approvals were based on extensive technical reviews and independentgeotechnical investigations by four geotechnical firms. In 1996 the Buck Center retainedMiller Pacific Engineering Group for final plan review, construction monitoring, testing and thegeotechnical documentation of as-built conditions.
During construction, the project received considerable attention when a landslide developedon the adjacent subdivision and enlarged onto an unused portion of the site. The Buck Centergrading was modified and extensive subsurface drainage installed. For stabilization of thelandslide on the adjacent property Miller Pacific designed a buttress with an innovativesystem of fiber reinforced drilled piers.

GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATIONSDISTRESSED PAVEMENT AND SUBGRADE REHABILITATIONVarious Cities and Counties
Over the past decade, and more, Miller Pacific Engineering Group has provided geotechnicalconsultation, evaluation, and design services for numerous pavement rehabilitation projects.Emphasis is always placed, where possible, of recycling the existing on-site pavements. Thiscan be done by grinding old asphalt and baserock to create and stockpile recycled baserockfor re-use on the site or export for re-use elsewhere. In recent years, construction advanceshave allowed more frequently for use of pulverizing or recycling existing pavements in-place.Sometimes referred to as “Cold” in-place recycling, this method can take several forms.Although some highly specialized methods, such as Cold-Foam in-place recycling, requirespecialized equipment with limited availability, we have found that commonly availableequipment can be used to pulverize the existing pavements (asphalt and underlyingbaserock). The resulting grindings can then be graded and compacted in-place in advance ofa final “Full Depth” asphalt surface.
Most Cities and Counties need toperform periodic, sometimesannual, maintenance andimprovement projects to their publicstreets. MPEG can assist in thedesign process by evaluatingexiting pavement and subgradeconditions to provide cost-effectivedesign alternatives. Duringconstruction, we provide therequisite materials andfield/laboratory testing of subgradesoil, aggregate baserock, asphaltconcrete pavement, and utilitytrench backlills to check forconformance of Contractor’s work.
Depending on the subgrade conditions,a deeper pulverize and mix withunderlying subgrade soil (up to amaximum depth of about 15 to 18inches) can be employed with theaddition of cement, lime, or acombination of the two, to create amore stabilized subgrade forplacement of the final full-depthasphalt. We have providedgeotechnical services for streetrehabilitation projects, both design andconstruction inspection, for the NapaCounty, Cities of Petaluma and MillValley, and many others.

Miller Pacific Engineering Group has consulted with project teams for numerous “multi-use”pathways and roadways in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. Typical services includeanalyzing geologic hazards, exploring subsurface conditions and providing geotechnicalrecommendations for embankment slopes, foundations for small bridges, pavement designs andother site specific requirements. Sampling and testing to evaluate potential contamination on oldrailroad embankments has been performed and we frequently observe and test construction toverify Contractor conformance with the project plans and specifications. Representative projectsinclude:

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTSNovato Sanitary DistrictNovato, CaliforniaClients: RMC Water and Environment, Inc., Winzler & Kelly, Novato Sanitary District
Construction for the planned improvements at theNovato and lgnacio treatment plants required anadaptable strategy for a variety of geologicchallenges. The Novato Sanitary District upgradesincluded new moderately to heavily loadedstructures, sedimentation and aeration basins, aconveyance pipeline connecting the two plants,and support structures such as retaining walls.Acting as a key member of the construction team,we conducted a full geotechnical investigation andanalysis of subsurface conditions at the sites. Ourrecommendations provided an effective design thatwas both cost-effective and efficient.
In 2005, we conducted twenty-six exploratoryborings and encountered a variable geologyranging from hard alluvial deposits and weatheredbedrock to soft compressible Bay Mud up to 40feet deep. Areas underlain by Bay Mud are proneto settlement that, over the course of several years,causes damage to structures. Vertical wick drainswere installed to accelerate consolidation of theBay Mud to months instead of years and reducethe impact of settlement. After the wick drains wereinstalled (pictured right), a surcharge load wasplaced at the surface to increase pore pressure ofthe saturated soils. The pressure forced the waterinto the wicks where it flowed to the surface as theBay Mud particles compressed into the voids.
Additionally, auger cast piles were designed for thedeep foundations that anchored the largerstructures in place. Auger cast piles have theadvantage of preventing sloughing and piercollapse because they are grouted as the auger iswithdrawn, allowing the pier to maintain its shape.Also, a substantial offhaul cost was avoidedbecause the type of skin friction characteristic ofthe native soils produced no spoils.
Obstacles, including Novato Creek and Highway37, crossed the conveyance pipeline alignment.To avoid disturbance to these features, directionaldrilling was included in the project design. Thepipeline was installed in a horizontally drilledexcavation that bypassed the highway and creekwith the least amount of disruption to the natural andman-made features above.

Miller Pacific Engineering Group routinely provides geotechnical consultation, evaluation, anddesign services for new streets, parking lots and pavement rehabilitation projects. Forrehabilitation, emphasis is placed where possible on recycling the existing on-site pavements orextending the useful life of existing pavement to reduce life-cycle costs. Grinding old asphalt andbaserock to create “new” baserock for use on the site or export for re-use elsewhere is frequentlyused.
Other cost-effective strategies include lime or cement treatment of clayey or granular subgradesoils or existing baserock to increase strengths and reduce asphalt thickness. Exotic strategiesare also seeing increased use, such as “Cold” in-place recycling, where existing roads are“pulverized” and the granular surface materials are recemented in-place.
We recently completed several “stimulus” projectswith Napa County to rehabilitate distressedpavements, including several segments of theSilverado Trail shown in the photos. Pavementrehabilitation was also successfully completed alongHardman Avenue, Atlas Peak Road, Duhig Roadand at the Napa Airport. Depending on thecondition of the existing pavements and desiredperformance, d igouts, overlays, crack-sealing,slurry-sealing and geotextile reinforcing materialswere utilized at different sites. In addition to designservices and consultation, Miller Pacific’s Caltranscertified laboratory and field technicians observedand tested the work for QNQC purposes.
