BACKGROUND
Copper Hill Drive bridge over San Francisquito Creek is located near the Tesoro Del Valle
community, a location map is attached hereto. On May 24, 2022, the City Council approved a
Pre -Annexation Agreement between BLC Tesoro, LLC and the City of Santa Clarita (City) as
part of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map 51644-1 (Tesoro Highlands) approved by County of Los
Angeles on November 7, 2018. The Copper Hill Drive bridge widening was a component of the
Pre -Annexation Agreement and a condition of approval for the Tesoro Highlands development
with the developer administering all construction -related contracts.
The proposed project includes widening of the north half of the existing bridge by approximately
33 feet to allow for three lanes in each direction, other improvements will be constructed as part
of the project which include Class 1 trails and trails connections, sidewalks, landscaped median
islands, traffic signal modification, storm drain system, and street lights. Due to the complexity
and the unique character of the work being performed on this project, the services of a full-time
bridge inspector are necessary to oversee the construction.

On July 17, 2023, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for inspection and construction oversight
services was advertised on the City's website. The RFP requested firms to identify proposed
staffing and their relevant construction experience with similar projects and to specify their
qualifications for the project.
On August 17, 2023, the City received three proposals. All proposals were reviewed and
evaluated by staff. Based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP, the following is a
summary of the firms' rankings:
Rank Company Score Location Cost
1. NV5, Inc. 93.67 Ventura, CA $552,911.40
2. MNS Engineers, Inc. 90.33 Thousand Oaks, CA $553,686.08
3. Ghirardelli Associates, Inc. 81.67 Santa Clarita, CA $621,076.00
The rating system heavily emphasized the firms' staff experience and technical qualifications as
they relate to bridge construction projects and their in-depth understanding of the scope of the
proposal. Based on the technical experience and the completeness of their proposal, staff
recommends the City Council award the professional services contract to NV5, Inc.
The requested budget supports the recommended professional services contract and provides a
contingency in the amount of $55,291 to cover costs for additional services that might be
required as the project progresses and potential issues arise.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes selection of architectural and engineering services
to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualification necessary for the
satisfactory performance of the services required, and does not authorize the selection of
professional architectural and engineering services based on cost. City staff was able to reach an
agreement with NV5, Inc. at a fair and reasonable price for the services requested in RFP.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other actions as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds are available in expenditure account 51050306-516101 (Developer Fee Fund) to
support the recommended contract and associated project costs.

1. INTRODUCTION
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Santa Clarita, in collaboration with the
Developer of the Tesoro Del Valle Community (Developer),
is seeking a consultant company through a Request
for Proposal to perform comprehensive inspection and
construction oversight services for the Copper Hill Drive
Bridge Widening project. This proposed bridge widening
over San Francisquito Creek (a tributary stream of the
Santa Clara River), spans from Avenida Rancho Tesoro to
McBean Parkway.
The existing Copper Hill Bridge is a precast concrete
1-girder structure. It is 65 feet wide and 580.23 feet
long, consisting of five equivalent spans. This project
proposes to widen the bridge by 33 feet, adding four new
precast girders per span. In addition, the project will add
sidewalks, medians, street lights and signal modifications,
drainage improvements, and landscaping. The existing
bridge substructure, including abutments and piers,
have previously been constructed to the future width.
The roadway within the project limits has already been
constructed to the full final width for most of the project
length. However, the roadway will need to be widened at
both bridge approaches.
Scheduled to commence on November 14, 2023,
with a target completion date of January 31, 2025,
the construction improvements are required to be in
accordance with City, County, State, and federal standards,
including the 2023 Caltrans Standard Specifications.
Construction must also meet all permit and environmental
commitments, particularly while working within San
Francisquito Creek. The improvements will be constructed
in five stages to accommodate traffic and safe pedestrian
access. Stage 2 includes full road closures and detours
requiring night work.
The project is being funded by the Developer, and
completion of the widening is needed before the
certificates of occupancy can be issued for the next phase
of homes. Therefore, time is of the essence. In order to
accelerate the beginning of construction, the Developer
has already order the precast girders, and they are
currently under construction.
CITY OBJECTIVES
The City of Santa Clarita is looking for a firm to assist
the City with comprehensive inspection and oversight
of the bridge construction and roadway improvements.
The City needs a bridge expert with a deep knowledge
and understanding of Caltrans Standards who can
work effectively with the City and Developer to deliver
a successful project within the budget and schedule
constraints. NV5 brings this experience and capability.
NV5's team is led by Michael Dipsia, PE, QSD/P.
Mr. Dipsia is a former Caltrans Senior Construction
Engineer with 34 years of experience with the state.
He knows highway and bridge construction inspection,
contract administration, construction safety compliance,
SWPPP, quality control, constructability review, and
construction methods. His problem -solving skills have
been instrumental in resolving issues arising from errors
in contract plans, preventing potential financial impacts,
community disruptions, and project delays.
Mr. Dipsia fully comprehends the significance of timely
project completion and is dedicated to closely collaborating
with the City, the Developer, the Contractor, and other
relevant personnel on a daily basis. His collaborative
approach will help lead to successful project completion
while safeguarding the City's interests and confirming
adherence to safety protocols and compliance with
contract plans and specifications.
PROJECT ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
Based on our extensive construction management
experience on many successfully completed projects, NV5
believes that the successful delivery of this project will be
determined by how well your inspection and construction
oversight consultant is able to handle the key elements
and issues of this project.
KEY PROJECT ISSUES
After performing a constructability review, we have
identified six key issues that could potentially impact the
successful delivery of this project. The issues are listed
below, with a discussion and suggested solutions laid out
in the next few pages.
• Permit/in-water work/potentially wet winter
• Existing tree conflicts with bridge
• Girder construction
• Girder Camber creep
• Closure pour
• Deck forms
Permit restrictions and limitations for working in San
Francisquito Creek bed during construction: The City's
advertised RFP for this project did not include a copy
of the environmental report or permit restrictions and
limitations for work in the San Francisquito Creek bed
during construction. This permit must be obtained from
all regulatory agencies that have jurisdiction over the
watershed and creek bed prior to work beginning in the
San Francisquito creek bed. This will delay several items of
work and potentially delay the start of construction.
Additionally, weather prediction models show there is a
high chance of a wet winter and spring (November 2023-
March 2024), due to the expected continuation of an El
Nino. The CPM Schedule shows a range of construction
activities during that period. If the pattern continues, there
could be restrictions on in -water work during these rainy
periods. We don't know the full impact, as the permit has
not yet been obtained, but these restrictions can cause
project right-of-way delays. It is also possible that there
could be restrictions on work in the creek bed beyond
March 2024. Such permit restriction must also be adhered
to by the Contractor, and an accurate cost bid and CPM
schedule cannot be developed without this information.
These limitations could delay the project completion date,
and potentially the work might have to be extended into
two seasons (end of 2025).
Once the permit has been obtained, NV5 will review
the permit work window restrictions, identify CPM
schedule conflicts and coordinate with the Contractor for
workarounds to keep the project on schedule and stay in
compliance with the permit requirements.
Existing Tree Conflicts: A review of the CPM schedule
shows that the proposed precast post -tension 1-girders
have been ordered and are expected to be delivered by
Sept 20, 2023. The CPM schedule also shows that the
bearing pads are expected to be set in place, followed by
precast post -tension concrete 1-girders starting November
28, 2023. However, there are numerous mature trees
(three -plus trees between the pier walls - spans 2, 3 and
5) that have established roots between the piers with
tree height extending above the existing pier seats/bridge
deck. This will impact the work on setting the precast
post -tension concrete 1-girders, as they cannot be placed
until these trees are removed and the area is cleared. This
could potentially delay the setting of the precast post -
tension concrete 1-girders if the required permit authorizing
the Contractor to work in the watershed area and clear
these trees is not issued in time, as this work is currently
scheduled for the week of December 19, 2023. Watershed
access is essential for the Contractor to work in the area,
not only for the removal of existing trees, but also to form
and strip intermediate and end diaphragms and new
bridge deck overhang.
NV5 will identify and address the permit restrictions and
environmental concerns for the City and other agency
stakeholders and work with the Contractor to keep the
project on schedule and in compliance.
Girder Construction: Typically, a field measurement of
each bridge span would be made prior to precast post -
tension 1-girder fabrication. Ordering these girders based
on a theoretical dimension shown on the plans presents
a risk that such specified length may not fit the as -built
condition. Both abutment walls are in place, and all five
pier walls were previously constructed, and any tolerable
deviation in construction would mean that the field
dimension (girder length) may not equate to the theoretical
length of girders as designed. Consequently, if the actual
girder length was not verified, there may be an issue where
these girders will not properly fit. If that is the case, there is
potential for rejecting these girders. This would result in a
right-of-way delay.
NV5 will measure the actual field dimensions and verify
the girders as cast will meet the tolerances for the
widening.
Girder Camber Creep: In the engineers' design, it was
intended that the bridge deck would not be placed on
precast girders until three months after post -tensioning
to ensure that the deflections measured should be at the
center line of the span. At 90 days after post -tensioning of
girders, the induced theoretical camber (upward camber)
is around 2 inches. Once the bridge deck is placed, the
weight of the concrete deck will deflect the girders at
the center span by 1.5 inches, resulting in a net 0.5 inch
remaining camber at the center line. If the bridge deck is
not poured within 90 days after the post -tensioning of the
girders, the camber deflection will continue to increase
and will impact the final bridge deck grades' cross slope.
Final relaxation of the girders (zero camber) will occur four
years after initial prestressing. From a construction as well
as an aesthetics point of view, we do not want the camber
to go below zero.
NV5 will review the CPM schedule in real time and
coordinate with the Contractor to ensure the schedule
reflects that the deck is poured within the required time
frame.
Closure Pour: The bridge plans' detail regarding the
closure pour specifies that the Contractor drill and bond
4-inch-deep No. 5 rebar into the face of the existing edge
of deck without removing any portion of the existing bridge
overhang. As this would occur next to live traffic, this is not
advised. It is recommended that the existing bridge deck
overhang will need to be removed, and the horizontal rebar
exposed and sandblasted to clear off all adhered concrete.
Additionally, as the width of the existing overhang bridge
deck is less than 30 inches, it is recommended to use
approved mechanical couplers (with minimum of 60 psi
tensile strength capacity) to connect the horizontal rebar
together. Traffic -induced displacements and vibrations may
affect concrete bond with the embedded reinforcement if
live splice is inadequate or mechanical couplers not used.
The bridge deck where the lap splice is, will be part of the
closure pour. The bridge section if not completed properly
can potentially cause a longitudinal crack along the entire
length of the bridge (BB to EB).
NV5 suggests that the engineers' design include an
application of liquid methacrylate on the existing side
areas of the old and new bridge deck and prior to
placement of closure pour. This will help the concrete
to adhere (like an epoxy adhesive) and will not allow a
longitudinal joint to develop or water to penetrate through
a potential crack.
Deck Forms/Plan Conflicts: There is a conflict in the
plans related to the placement of metal decking (stay -in -
place forms). According to the CPM/Schedule, ID No. 46,
30 days are allowed for the placement of metal decking
(stay -in -place forms). However, the contract Plan Sheets 2
and 3 do not include this as an option. As this contract is
already out to bid, it raises a concern that bids will come in
higher than necessary, as removing stay -in -place forms is
more expensive.
NV5 will review the contract plans and look for options
to save time and money. NV5 will work with the Engineer,
the City and the Contractor to identify opportunities to
negotiate changes to the benefit of the project.
OTHER PROJECT ELEMENTS
In addition to the 6 key issues mentioned, NV5 will be paying special attention to the items below:
NV5 will continuously and in a timely manner review the Contractor's
Contractor's baseline schedule, SWPPP

Utility conflicts and relocations
and note relocation windows and potential CPM schedule impacts. NV5
will coordinate with the City and the Contractor to notify stakeholders of

PROJECT APPROACH - COST CONTROL,
SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT AND
QA/QC PLAN
COST CONTROL
We are responsible for managing our own construction
oversight budget efficiently. Mr. Dipsia will review the
Contractor's schedule weekly to determine the level
of construction oversight effort needed to manage
the contract effectively, and we will schedule our work
accordingly. Mr. Dipsia is experienced in keeping project
budgets tightly controlled and closely monitored.
NV5 manages and monitors the hours charged through
the Deltek Vision project management/accounting system.
Accurate invoicing begins with the use of a detailed
phase/task system to delineate work directives and their
associated subtasks. This facilitates the verification of
charges on a regular basis. At each period's end, our
Accounting Department will provide a billing worksheet
for the project, broken out by phase/task, and employee..
Following approval of the billing worksheet and draft
invoice, the complete invoice package is reviewed by a
project analyst who checks for accuracy and completeness
of backup documentation.
The Contractor's monthly pay estimate will be reviewed by
Mr. Dipsia according to the following steps: (1) Contractor
prepares and forwards a draft progress payment invoice
to NV5; (2) Mr. Dipsia reviews and evaluates the draft
progress payment; (3) Mr. Dipsia schedules a monthly
progress payment meeting with the Contractor; (4)
Contractor submits a final progress payment invoice; (5)
Mr. Dipsia will certify the package and forward a Certificate
for Payment to the City for processing.
INTERNAL PROJECT AUDITS
As part of our QC/QA plan, Mr. Dipsia will periodically
audit project hard files and electronic files using our
standardized Quality Control Plan Checklist. This
attendance provides an opportunity for him to spend time
with the Contractor and field inspector to gain an overall
understanding of job progress and outstanding issues.
It also allows him to spend time with the City's Project
Manager and gather input from him.
STAFF TRAINING & KNOWLEDGE SHARING
NV5 invests in employee education and development to
ensure our staff is well trained and prepared. We use
a variety of tools to cultivate consistency and reliability,
including a training program and coaching plan for each
individual staff member. Each individual's performance
is evaluated annually, and a customized training program
is then developed based on personnel and project needs.
Included in our training program are NV5's annual CM
Workshop and CM Discipline Forum. These workshops
include instruction on technical matters, management
issues, claims assessments, safety training, and team
building.
We maintain a CM -specific internal web page, which
contains resources such as action plans, core processes,
lessons learned, safety information, current forms, process
and procedures documents, as well as access to outside
training information.
SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
Coordination, Communication and Collaboration
Prior experience has shown us the importance of
establishing advance coordination and weekly meetings
with the Contractor to discuss ongoing issues and
understand the Contractor's future look -ahead schedule.
We believe successful project delivery begins and ends with
coordination, communication and collaboration. To that end,
we will set up a partnering session with the Contractor and
the City to discuss the City and Developer's expectations
and the Contractor's concerns. We will identify early on the
project challenges and find proactive and cost-effective
solutions to any impacted items of work. Appropriate and
timely outreach to the stakeholders, including the public,
the Developer, and the City, when issues arise will go a long
way in eliminating potential delays.
Reduced impacts to the schedule and/or order of work
equal reduced costs. Reduced costs will lessen the
chances of the Contractor taking issue or presenting a
claim.
NV5 pledges to take ownership of the project delivery while
working to minimize delays and costs, including making
sure that the work is being done in accordance with the
approved plans and specifications. NV5 is committed to
providing all required resources and to work within any
schedule and meet any project challenges, maintaining a
positive public image for the City while minimizing project
administrative costs.
CPM SCHEDULE
The Copper Hill Drive Bridge Widening project is currently
planned for project award on August 31, 2023, with
construction beginning on November 14, 2023, and
completed by January 31, 2025. We have developed
a 112-activity comprehensive baseline schedule to
understand the critical path, identify key issues, and
anticipate the Contractor's approach to the work. It is
included on pages 9-11 for your review.
The CPM/work schedule will need to be prepared by the
Contractor. NV5 will review the schedule, making sure that
the Contractor's schedule is logical and that the work will
be completed within the allocated number of working days
Our construction support services team gives considerable
attention to monitoring project schedules. We will
coordinate, review and make recommendations for
changes to the Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule
generated by the Contractor. As changes or discrepancies
occur between the CPM schedule and as -built conditions,
the project schedule and cost estimates will be updated.
We will review the Contractor's schedule on a weekly basis.
We will track critical milestones, and if the Contractor has
missed or is tracking to miss a particular milestone, we will
work closely with the Contractor to formulate a recovery
plan so as to minimize any potential impacts.

PROJECT :CHD-1 , DATA DATE: 26-Sep-2023
Page 3 of 3
FIGURE 1
Although the project documents show that the construction
duration will be 301 working days (November 14, 2023,
to January 31, 2025), we believe that this project can
be completed in a shorter duration by including a clause
offering the Contractor a monetary incentive per day to
complete the project ahead of schedule.
Alternatively, for the construction of the bridge deck, the
contract plans and specifications can allow the use of high
early concrete strength for the construction of intermediate
and end diaphragms, bridge deck, barrier rail and approach
slabs to help achieve early strength and specification
requirements. This will shorten the concrete curing duration
each by 20 days for intermediate and end diaphragm plus
20 days for the bridge deck and 10 days for the concrete
barrier rail, resulting in a total savings for the number of
working days for the project by 50 working days.
The above proposed savings in the number of working days
by either offering the Contractor a monitoring incentive
per day or by specifying high early strength concrete could
also be useful to keep the project on track in case the
season between November 2023 to March 2024 ends
up to also be a continuation of the El Nino of 2022 with
potential permit restrictions of in -water work during the
rainy period, as discussed on page 4, Permit restrictions
and limitations for working in San Francisquito Creek
bed during construction.
Completing the project ahead of schedule would provide
several benefits to the City and other stakeholders:
• Minimize the impacts to safety, traffic congestion,
noise, and general inconvenience to the residents,
businesses and traveling public during construction
• Allow the Developer to receive its occupancy
certificate earlier. This will save the Developer project
delays and costs and allow the City to collect fees and
tax revenue sooner from this development
The location of this project is in a visible and heavily
traveled area of the City. Copper Hill Drive and McBean
Parkway are two main arteries to the 1-5. This project could
inconvenience local residents who are accustomed to
using the existing roadways daily, particularly during rush
hour and commuting to/from their work or transporting
their kids back and forth from school. In addition to the
roadways, there will be impacts to the San Francisquito
Creek Trail and bike paths in the area.
With proper planning, communication, field meetings and
notifications, we will aim to minimize the impacts on the
local community during construction.
QUALITY CONTROL
NV5 takes a proactive project management approach
by providing our team with a set of inspection and
construction oversight processes and procedures that
allows us to manage construction projects better. We want
to know that you are satisfied with our performance and
confident with our assigned team. Throughout the duration
of your project, Project Manager/Lead Inspector Michael
Dipsia will remain in communication with you and regularly
perform the following:
• Verify that the quality of construction meets the
designer's plans and specifications
• Assure that field issues are resolved in a diplomatic
and efficient manner to eliminate schedule delays,
potential change orders and claims
• Meet with your project manager to verify that needs
and requirements are being met while maintaining
the construction management budget
• Audit the project files and field activities to verify that
documentation is accurate, timely, complete and
meets State and Federal requirements
Quality Control/Quality Assurance Plan
NV5 will develop and utilize a Quality Control/Quality
Assurance Plan specific to this project. All team members
are provided a copy to assure that our team members
know their roles and understand their responsibilities and
project requirements.
The project -specific plan incorporates the scope of
services for which we are responsible, project forms,
administrative protocols, document control file indexes,
project documentation references, checklists, project
specifications, codes, submittals, and inspection
samples and reports. This QC/QA Plan includes very
specific processes for management review of field quality
assurance activities and provides for third -party auditing of
our files and practices.
NV5 will monitor the Contractor's quality control program
and can provide quality assurance sampling, testing, and
inspections to verify the accuracy and compliance of the
work. We keep logs to track items such as tests performed,
samples taken, non-compliance reports, inspection and
testing costs associated with non -compliant work, and
submittals. We will review the Contractor's weekly and daily
schedules before work begins each day and will closely
coordinate with the Contractor to establish an understanding
of the critical activities and work to be inspected.
Daily Documentation
Because we recognize that our inspectors' daily reports
are one of the most important deliverables we provide
you, we have developed an electronic Excel -based daily
inspector's report. This report provides a standardized
documentation process that includes project photographs,
quantity measures, daily activities, and all pertinent
elements of a thorough daily diary. The electronic diary
has links to create reports for extra work at force account,
quantity calculations for progress payments, and quick
recall of work items performed. All inspectors on this
project will utilize this diary so that all information is
collected consistently and completely every day in a
standardized and legible format.
WORK PLAN/SCOPE OF WORK
Based on the Scope of Service activities presented in
the RFP and our experience providing inspection and
construction oversight for projects like the Copper Hill
Drive Bridge Widening project, we have developed the
following Scope of Work. From our experience, the tasks
detailed will be fundamental to meet funding and oversight
requirements while assuring the project's objectives are
successfully met.

RELEVANT PROJECTS
On the following pages, we have included a sampling of relevant projects for which our firm and key personnel have
provided inspection and construction oversight services.
HICKMAN ROAD OVER THE TUOLUMNE RIVER BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT
COUNTY OF STANISLAUS I STANISLAUS COUNTY, CA
NV5 is providing full construction management services for this $18M bridge
replacement, which replaces the existing 6,523-foot bridge over the Tuolumne
River. The existing bridge was built in 1964 but in 2017 was determined to
be structurally deficient and scour critical. During heavy river flows, the bridge
is subject to shutdowns. Since it is the only southern access to the City of
Waterford, it is a vital link for the region.
The replacement bridge consists of a five -span, 750-foot-long cast -in -place (CIP)
post -tensioned box girder with two 1-2-foot-wide travel lanes and two 8-foot-wide
shoulders and one 5-foot-wide sidewalk placed along the upstream edge. The
new bridge is wide enough to accommodate two lanes of vehicular traffic plus
safe pedestrian and bike access. It is supported by 10-foot diameter drilled -
pile foundations up to 148 feet deep to address the ongoing degradation of
the Tuolumne River channel. The new bridge will also carry a new water line,
gas line, and fiber optic telecommunication facilities. The replacement bridge
will be constructed immediately upstream of the existing structure, in order to
keep the existing road and bridge open to public traffic during construction. The
new road alignment will transition and connect back to the existing Hickman
Road alignment and tie into a revised signalized intersection at State Route
132. The existing bridge will be demolished upon completion of the new bridge
construction.
The original Contractor's construction bid, including contingencies, was $19.46M.
The final construction cost was $18.15, approximately 7% below budget.

Jellys Ferry Road at Sacramento River Bridge
COUNTY OF TEHAMA I TEHAMA COUNTY, CA
NV5 provided the Structure Representative and Structures Inspection services
for this bridge replacement project. The existing bridge was a curved cord Parker
through truss bridge built in 1949, which was determined to be structurally and
seismically deficient. The project demolished the existing bridge and constructed
a new bridge upstream on a more functional alignment. The project included
constructing a new 1,264-foot long bridge spanning the Sacramento River and a
flood basin overflow bridge 683 feet in length.
Subsurface conditions were vastly different than what was called out in the plans
and specifications. This led the Contractor to submit a bid that was lower than
what would have been appropriate given the real site conditions. As a result,
the Contractor requested additional compensation for work that fell outside the
originally agreed -upon scope. In response to these challenges, Mr. Riel and the
Construction Management (CM) team were actively engaged in negotiations with the
Contractor and Tehama County to address the claims being made by the Contractor.
Their goal was to minimize the financial impact of these claims by ensuring that only
necessary and reasonable costs were being paid out. These discrepancies were
beyond our control, and it's important to have a collaborative approach to resolve
these issues. Effective communication and negotiation between all parties involved
are crucial to finding a fair solution that considers the changed circumstances
of the project. The primary aim is to arrive at a resolution that takes into account
the legitimate additional costs incurred due to the unforeseen differences in site
conditions while also keeping those costs as reasonable as possible.

Belle Terrace Operational Improvements
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD I BAKERSFIELD, CA
This $42M project involves the removal and replacement of two bridges,
construction of over 4,000 linear feet of retaining walls, widening of State Route
99 and local roadway, signal, pedestrian route and drainage improvements in the
City of Bakersfield. One of the bridges is a connector ramp between State Routes
58 East and 99 North. This three -span, prestressed box girder bridge rises 20
feet in elevation along a horizontal curve with a cross -slope of 10%. The other
bridge is two -span box girder bridge with flared girders constructed over State
Route 99. Both bridges required erection of falsework systems and demolition
operations over and adjacent to live traffic. The retaining wall systems consisted
primarily of a five -lift soil nail wall with adjoining cast -in -place retaining walls with
ground anchors. The soil conditions consisted almost entirely of poorly graded
cohesionless sands, making structure excavation, slope stability and foundation
construction very challenging.
NV5 provided full suite of construction management services, including
resident engineering, structures representative, construction inspection, utility
coordination, environmental compliance, materials testing, schedule and budget
management, and contract administration.
