PROJECT APPROACH
NV5’s approach to construction
support services is centered on our
established policy of consistent and
effective employee oversight. Though
Amy Amirani, Principal-in-Charge will
be ultimately responsible for overall
management of our resources, she
depends on a carefully structured
hierarchy to ensure quality control
in construction management and
inspection. Our Project Manager
will monitor projects continuously
to verify that all personnel are
performing within the guidelines of
our established procedures, which
are patterned after the Caltrans
Construction Manual. NV5 takes this
a step further with implementing a
pro-active public relations program
and a concerted effort to identify
previously unforeseen potential
claims.

two lanes of traffic, parkway center
divider. and parkway sidewalk
in each direction. Parking is not
allowed on the roadway, and while
the surrounding area is residential
there are several churches nearby,
including the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, and the
Progressive Buddhist Association.
Residents of the gated community at
Roberts Canyon traditionally utilize
this road, as the only other entrance
and exit would involve a mountainous
pass through East Fork.
Additionally, this is the City of Azusa’s
main artery to the beautiful canyon
beyond. US Highway 39, is a major
route to the Azusa Wilderness Area
and the Los Angeles National Forest
Area. Key attractions beyond include
the local Serra Nevada Mountains
including the East and West Fork with
the Off Road Vehicle Area and the
hiking area to Cogswell Dam, the San
Gabriel River Trail, and Crystal Lake.
The San Gabriel Canyon Entrance
Station Info Site and Fee Station
is just beyond the project area.
Additionally, this road. in particular
may have made the City of Azusa
famous, with their motto Azusa, The
Canyon City.
Ranch Road
Ranch Road between Sierra Madre
Avenue and North San Gabriel
Canyon Road merging point is mostly
a local street with one lane of traffic
in each direction. Parking is allowed
on both sides of the streets. Ranch

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING + SCOPE OF SERVICES
METHODOLOGY
Our inspector will coordinate the
project kick-off and attend all
meetings including pre-construction,
field meetings, construction progress
meetings, etc.
Our inspector will manage requests
for change orders by the Contractor.
He also will provide requests for
change orders with documentation
and recommendations to ALW
for review and approval. We will
implement changes as required and
as directed by ALW.
Our inspector will maintain record
drawings in the field indicating any
changes in the design, materials,
dimensions, and details. We will
provide red lined "as-built" drawings
to ALW.
We will prepare a "punch list" of
all items to be completed by the
Contractor to obtain final completion
and ensure that all items are
completed.
We will arrange and conduct the final
inspection and start-up coordination
work with ALW crews prior to the new
facilities being placed into service.
Final inspection will be witnessed by
ALW.
We will provide a 24-hour toll-free
phone number and designate a
contact person for the public to
answer and field any questions.
Our construction support team will:
• Ensure the Contractor's work
conforms to the requirements of
the Plans and Specifications.
• Keep ALW staff informed of
the project progress as well as
any items needing attention or
coordination.
• Provide clarification of contract
documents.
• Respond to contractor requests
for information and clarification.
• Review and provide comments
and track contractor submittals,
mix designs; BMP & SWPPP plan;
solid waste management and
recycling plan; shop drawings,
and material certifications
submitted by the Contractor.
Our inspector will work with
Contractor to establish a safety
program and conduct regular safety
meetings. We will ensure that the
contractor meets all OSHA safety
requirements.
Our in-house drafting team will
prepare as-built drawings in CAD and
red-lined field set including size, type,
location of existing and new utility
lines (including electrical and SCADA),
layout and schematic drawings of
connection details, and verification of
alignment, cross sections, location of
equipment.
Our inspectors are well trained to
work with the Contractor and ALW
to prepare and maintain a proper
and effective public notifications
and advance notices to minimize the
public disturbances and possible
claims.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
AND QUALITY CONTROL
To ensure compliance with the plans
and specifications, we will implement
a comprehensive quality assurance
and quality control (QA/QC) program
involving the following steps:
• We will perform a thorough review
of the contract documents. This
responsibility will include the
following tasks:
c Checking plans and
specifications against
requirements that have been
associated with issues that
occurred on similar jobs.
c Comparing existing elevations,
grades and details, etc., shown
on plans with those at the
actual site.
c Reporting all errors, omissions
and deficiencies, etc., to ALW
and engineering design team.
c Keeping a marked-up set of
plans and specifications for
quick reference.
c Anticipating the Contractor’s
operations by reviewing the
plans and specifications for
each one before it begins.
• Before the start of construction,
we will discuss with the contractor
the definable features of work
to ensure that documentation is
complete, materials are on hand,
and those who are to perform the
work understand the scope in its
entirety.
• At the onset of the work, we will
perform an initial inspection to
determine whether the Contractor
thoroughly understands and is
capable of accomplishing the work
as specified.
• We will ensure that the Contractor
has an established safety program
and that regular safety meetings
are conducted. We will also ensure
that the contractor meets all OSHA
safety requirements.
• The construction inspector will
perform follow-up inspections
on a daily basis for the purpose
of ensuring that the controls
established during the initial
inspection continue to provide
work that conforms to the contract
requirements and all applicable
standards. Unsatisfactory
workmanship, materials and
construction deficiencies will be
documented and reported for
future identification and traceability.
Notices of non-compliance will
be issued to the Contractor, and
corrective and preventive action will
be taken to ensure compliance with
the contract documents.
• We will conduct a monthly review
of the as-built drawings and ensure
Azusa Light & Water | Inspection Services for SGVMWD Interconnect + Site Improvements (W-280A) NV5 | 3UB-87
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING + SCOPE OF SERVICES
that all items are considered in the
changes of the record drawings,
including:
c The size, type and location of
existing and new utility lines.
c The layout and schematic
drawings of electrical circuits
and piping.
c Verification of alignment and
cross sections.
c Changes in the location of
equipment, etc.
• Finally, we will review and approve
the as-built drawings to complete
the project turnover and begin the
warranty period.
SAFETY
Our inspectors are knowledgeable
and trained in all CalOSHA, WATCH
Manual and MUTCD regulations.
Indeed, their extensive experience
allows them to spot any deficiencies
or violations immediately,
without having to consult written
specifications or guidelines, and it
allows them to work out solutions
with the Contractor with minimal
impact to the construction progress.
LABOR COMPLIANCE
AND WAGE MONITORING
Pacific Resources Services
(PRS) will review funding with
the ALW to confirm any special
requirements affecting the work, and
identify accounting and reporting
requirements. We will enforce
any applicable Labor Compliance
requirements and ensure all certified
payroll reports are submitted each
month with the payment applications.
Our inspector will review these
reports, verify payroll amounts
against wage reports and then
submit to the ALW for filing. We will
also perform the EEO interviews,
and complete the required forms.
NV5 will work with the contractor to
maintain adequate project files and to
correct any and all labor compliance
violations.
MOBILITY
Each member of our construction
support services team has access to
a mobile office that includes a laptop,
Internet/email access, mobile phone,
mobile project files, digital cameras
and other required materials. Our
team members are always available
via mobile phone and email for
easy access and continuous
communication.
INSPECTION REPORTS – IPAD APP
Our proprietary iPad application is a
user-friendly application designed to
take some of the typical reporting work
and simplifies it. Our inspectors have
been issued an iPad device to assist in
their day-to-day on-site observations.
Features include:
• Step-by-step guides to complete
and fill-out appropriate sections
of the observation report (daily
inspection report).
• Automatic weather and site
condition updates based on the
devices GPS location.
• Options to take daily photos
through the application with the
ability to attach the photos to the
observation report.
• Basic, common information that
can be carried over from the
previous days’ report in order to
save the observer time of filling out
a new report each day on a job site.
• Drop-down menus for equipment
and labor classifications that are
built into the application to assist
observers to complete and fully
account for their site observations.
• Prompt feature notifications that
alert the observer when any portion
of the report is not complete.
• Automatic upload of a PDF version
to the NV5 server once reports are
completed, signed, and saved. This
feature will save time during project
close-out.
• QA/QC feature for every use. The
supervisor approves and finalizes
the report and can request
corrections.
This application is one of many ways
NV5 is working to be innovative to
get the most accurate and timely
information to ALW.
PROJECT
SPECIFIC ISSUES
First and foremost, we will ensure
that all excavation and shoring is
performed in accordance with Cal
OSHA requirements as well as the
approved shoring plans.
Azusa Light & Water | Inspection Services for SGVMWD Interconnect + Site Improvements (W-280A) NV5 | 4UB-88
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING + SCOPE OF SERVICES
PIPE INSTALLATION — WATER MAIN
We will make sure that the work is in
compliance with all ALW standards
as well as any other governing
standards.
We will ensure that the polywrap does
not get cut during the installation of
the DIP line.
We will work with the Contractor
to control the ground and surface
water. Dewatering shall be provided
as necessary and in compliance with
permit and all governing rules and
regulations. We will also ensure the
Contractor provides a dewatering
plan and pump bypass around the
construction area including providing
any required coordination with ALW.
Our inspectors have a razor-sharp
experience and knowledge working
with Contractors and Water Operation
Teams to optimize any possible water
shut-downs. In case of any required
shut-downs, our team will ensure
that a proper and effective advanced
notification will smoothen the water
connection process.
We will ensure that all field welding
required for interconnecting to
existing steel pipes is performed by a
certified welder and will be inspected
by a certified welding inspector
deputy.
We will work with the Contractor to be
sure that all disinfection and testing
operations are done in the presence
of ALW staff, and according to Azusa
Standard Plan W-5.
INSPECTION: DISINFECTION AND
TESTING
Pipeline testing and disinfection are
the final steps before the Contractor
can commence the system tie-ins.
In order to accomplish these steps
in a timely fashion, we can assist
the Contractor in his development
of Testing Plan to explain and
document how he intends to
perform the hydrostatic testing and
disinfection of the system and to
present this information to ALW.
With an integrated participation in
the Contractor’s development of
the Testing Plan in a collaborative
manner, our inspector can ensure the
Contractor will pass the Bac-T and
HAA testing.
INSPECTION: PRE-DEMONSTRATION
PERIOD
NV5 will coordinate with ALW
Project Manager and Operations
Staff and oversee the Contractor’s
pre-demonstration period once
construction of the main mechanical,
electrical and instrumentation
equipment, telemetry, PLC’s,
HMI’s, and SCADA components
are complete. The Contractor, with
assistance from manufacturer's
representatives as required by the
specifications and/or to trouble shoot
issues is expected to perform with
the ALW’s Operations staff as well as
NV5.
INSPECTION: SYSTEMS AND SCADA
INTEGRATION
NV5 will make certain that the system
is function properly as installed
by the Contractor and ready for
the Contractor’s final programing
of the control loop and PLC’s. We
will assist the Contractor and ALW
with the required coordination with
the ALW’s system integrator. We
will check for example hardwired
interlocks, motor faults, power
faults, or system faults, along with
the expected proper programing per
the Contractors Test Plan. In the
field, activation of an interlock will
need to be operator reset per the
P&ID drawings. A complete outline
of the expected performance of the
SCADA, PLC, and HMI is covered
in the plans and specifications
which NV5 will coordinate clearly
between the Contractor and ALW
for commissioning, substantial
completion, and final acceptance.
INSPECTION: TIE-INS AND
COMISSIONING
The tie-ins and commissioning for
this project is multifaceted. Pre-Tie-in
meetings will be held to coordinate
the roles and responsibilities and
timings of each of the tie-ins. NV5 will
make certain all items of connection
as required for the connections are
completed, and hydrostatic and
bacteriological testing, complete with
the proper Bac-T and HAA testing,
have been performed. A major portion
of compliance testing includes
the proper documentation for
Department of Public Health (DPH) to
show compliance with the health and
safety protocols. Fully planned tie-ins
and testing coordination with ALW’s
Project Manager and the Contractor
overseen by NV5, will make this
project work, allowing NV5 to turn
over a successful system to ALW.
UTILITY CONFLICTS
We will work with the Contractor to
verify existing utilities via pothole at
the interconnection of the existing
pipeline system. If unforeseen
conflicts arise, our team will work
closely with the Contractor and the
engineering design team to develop
the most cost-effective and cost-
efficient solution. Our construction
inspection team has had extensive
experience in resolving utility
conflicts, and working in concert
with our in-house engineering design
team, have devised both creative and
practical solutions.
During construction, we will ensure
that the existing sewer laterals and
water services are properly supported
and protected in place, minimizing
the potential for interruptions to
service.
Azusa Light & Water | Inspection Services for SGVMWD Interconnect + Site Improvements (W-280A) NV5 | 5UB-89
arterials. Our inspectors have a razor-
sharp knowledge and understanding
of the latest CA MUTCD requirements
and they are experienced in reviewing
traffic control setups to verify if they
meet established standards. We will
also work closely with the Contractor
to modify or adjust the proposed
traffic control setups to ensure it is
coordinated with the planned work
sequence. Should any modifications
be required, our in-house traffic
engineering design team can readily
provide assistance and technical
support.
PROJECT CLOSE-OUT
Throughout the construction process
our inspections will work to enforce
the plans and specifications, but
with the end goal of punching out
an on-time, well constructed project.
A punch list is then created only of
those final items which need to be
addressed by the Contractor prior to
final completion. NV5 will prepare, in
concert with ALW and their engineer-
of-record, specific and detailed punch
list items. Once the Contractor has
performed all of the punch list items,
we will walk the site again with ALW
for concurrence that the Contractor’s
work is completed for final payment to
the Contractor.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING + SCOPE OF SERVICES
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Our first line of customer service
comes from our inspectors. Our
inspectors know the value of
maintaining great relations with
residents, business owners and
anyone affected by a project, and they
have proven to be a valuable resource
in appeasing public concerns
regarding construction issues.
We will have a 24/7 hotline available
to the public to answer any questions
and field any concerns. Calls and
questions received will be logged and
forwarded to ALW for their information
or follow-up.
We provided similar services to
the City of Santa Monica where we
resurfaced a very busy and politically
visible section of Montana Avenue.
The resurfacing was performed
at night to reduce impacts to the
businesses, but there was still a
major concern with noise impacts for
the residential neighborhoods lining
the side streets. Our construction
inspection team worked closely
with the City and the contractor
to distribute information flyers to
the adjacent residents as well as
provide door to door services to
speak with the residents to offer as
much information and answer as
many questions about the work. This
approach kept the complaints to a
minimum. Residents voiced their
appreciation to the construction
support team for providing advanced
notification and information.
MULTI-AGENCY COMMUNICATION/
COORDINATION
Our inspector will make every effort
to provide all project coordination
between the Contractor, ALW, the City
of Azusa, San Gabriel River Water
Committee (SGVMWD, committee of
nine), and any additional parties. We
will ensure that all concerned parties
are informed of the project status and
that their concerns are addressed.
Our inspector will work closely with
the Contractor to coordinate the
work so as to minimize impacts to
day-to-day operations of the affected
stakeholders.
OFF-HOURS WORK
Should the project require off-hour
or weekend work, we are able to
provide full-time resident inspection
as well as any required supplemental
coverage during off-hours. Our team
is accustomed to off-hours work and
has completed several projects with
off-hours schedules including the
Firestone Water System Improvement
project for the City of Downey. On
each project we undertake, we always
designate a back-up inspector ready
to either cover or support the prime
inspector in case double shifts are
required. This ensures that sufficient
inspection coverage is provided
throughout construction.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
We will work closely with the
Contractor to ensure that traffic
control is properly implemented per
the contract documents as well as
the latest CA MUTCD requirements.
Taper lengths and advance warning
signage for lane closures are
especially critical on the major
Azusa Light & Water | Inspection Services for SGVMWD Interconnect + Site Improvements (W-280A) NV5 | 6UB-90
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING + SCOPE OF SERVICES
FINAL DOCUMENTATION AND AS-
BUILTS
Once the project is complete, NV5 will
have our in-house draftsmen prepare
the electronic as-built documentation
in CADD. NV5 will transmit all project
files including the original red-lines
from the contractor and our inspector
along with the electronic as-builts to
ALW. This will also include all project
construction documentation from
daily reports, RFIs, submittals, etc. for
ALW’s archival.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Detailed and accurate inspection
of the Contractor's work is required
for successful project completion.
Our on-site Inspector will discuss
any appropriate revisions to the
Contractor’s methods and coordinate
with ALW's project manager and
inspector at all times. Our inspection
services can include:
A. Coordinate the project start-up
and attend all meetings including
preconstruction, field meetings,
construction progress meetings, etc.
Review and become familiar with
contract- and construction- related
documents, including plans and
specifications, traffic control plans,
construction schedules, construction
sequences and permitting
requirements; and present any
concerns during the pre-construction
meeting. Attend subsequent progress
meetings to maintain communication
regarding issues or problems. We will
maintain a correspondence file and
copy Contractor communications to
ALW.
B. Our on-site construction inspector
will be responsible for all project
coordination between Contractor,
ALW, SGVMWD, San Gabriel River
Water Committee (Committee of
nine), and any additional parties.
C. Provide full time inspection of
construction work to assure quality
of construction and adherence
to specifications, drawings, and
submittals. Inspection will be
provided as needed, estimated to
require eight (8) hours per day each
day the work is being executed.
Document daily work progress with
written logs and photographs and
submit weekly to the ALW Project
Manager. Include pre-construction
photographs, photographs of
installation during construction and
post-construction photographs. In the
event that the contractor uses two
crews, one inspector shall inspect all
the work for this project. Generally,
work will take place Monday
through Friday. After hours work or
holiday work may occasionally be
necessary and will be paid for by the
Construction Contractor. This includes
the following:
• i) NV5’s quality control
inspections and measurements
of the Contractor’s work,
submittals, and construction
materials to ensure that it
conforms to the contract
documents, ALW codes and
ordinances, “Greenbook”
Standard Specifications,
Manual of Traffic Controls for
Construction and Maintenance
Work Zones, Caltrans
Construction Manual and
other applicable codes and
regulations. Health and safety
measures will be strictly enforced
to maintain a safe construction
environment.
• ii) Prepare daily reports
detailing work completed and/
or other activities for each day
the Contractor performs work.
Daily reports will be kept in a

photos and a video survey
at project initiation. NV5
will perform and require the
Contractor to perform, and
will review for completeness
and quality, the essential
photographic logging as required
for this project. Documentation
will be used for monthly
reporting to ALW, updates for
informational websites, and
documentation for any potential
claims by the Contractor. Photos
and a video survey will also
ensure that the site is returned
to its original condition at the
end of the construction period.
• v) Monitor utility coordination as
set forth in the pre-construction
meeting, report conflicts, and
recommend a course of action.
• vi) Ensure compliance to the
coordination plan set forth in
project start-up with ALW Project
Manager and Operations Staff,
and alter and revise coordination
plan as project demands require.
D. Manage requests for change
orders by the Contractor.

Management and Inspection Services for the Phase II Alley Water Main Conversion project.
The services included full time construction observation, materials testing, review of
Contractor’s progress payments, resolution of design issues, shop drawing review, RFI
resolution, change order management and resolution, meetings, public notifications and
LBWD coordination for shutdowns for this project. Our Construction Management team
resolved public complaints and problems from the local businesses and residence before
they become problems for City Hall and LBWD. Ms. Bean also checked NPDES and BMP

LONG BEACH WATER DEPARTMENT | LONG BEACH, CA
Construction Manager/Inspector. Ms. Bean completed full service Construction
Management and Inspection Services for the Magnolia and SCADA Phase I Upgrades
project. Project involved a new fully integrated SCADA system to complete with new
fiber optic feeds, new PLC’s at the Chlorine/Flocculator/Pump area of the Groundwater
Treatment Plant, plus two outlying facilities. The new SCADA system included new
Wonderware programing set on new servers and clients within the control room of the
GWTP. Key to the success of the project was keeping the GWT Plant up and running
during the conversion of the PLC’s and HMI’s. The services included full time Construction
Observation, materials testing, review of Contractor’s progress payments, resolution
of design issues, shop drawing review, RFI resolution, change order management and

Brinton Reservoir and Pipeline Reservoir
CITY OF BANNING | BANNING, CA
Project/Construction Manager. Ms. Bean was the Project/Construction Manager for the
Brinton Reservoir and Pipeline which consisted of the design of the 8 MG buried-cast-in-
place concrete tank and 5,400 linear feet of 30-inch transmission main and construction
of these facilities. Through careful engineering, she saved the client approximately $3M
on the bid price bringing in the bids for $10.2M. From the beginning stages of the RFP,
she identified multiple issues that were critical to the success of this project foremost that
the proposed elevation of the tanks within the RFP were incorrect, and through additional
surveying performed of the water distribution system, she was able to confirm her intuition,
that an elevation change of the proposed high water level of the tank was required in order
for this tank to float within the San Grogonial Distribution Zone. Ms. Bean’s management
ensured that the City was informed as to the project progress, and the contractor
maintained schedule. This project was completed under Ms. Bean’s management with
minimal contractor initiated change orders and monetary issues to the project.
