Harris & Associates, Inc.; and PSOMAS Statement of Issue: The Public Works Department requires professional construction management, materials testing, and inspection services on an on-call or as-needed basis to support staff in the management, inspection, and testing of local, state, and federally funded capital improvement projects, most of which are identified in the annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As such, Public Works advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for these services and recommends awarding on-call general engineering consulting services contracts. Financial Impact: Funding for the use of these contracts is included in the Public Works budget, including the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Each approved CIP project includes a budget that allocates sufficient funds for construction management, materials testing and inspection services. No funds will be expended under these contracts unless approved as part of the City's annual budget. The recommended actions do not require any additional funding. Recommended Action: A)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $1,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Accenture Infrastructure and Capital Projects, LLC. for On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services; and = B)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $2,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Ardurra Group, Inc. for On-Call Construction Management, Materials Testing and Inspection Services; and City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 11/12/2025 powered by LegistarT' 391 File #: 25-881 MEETING DATE: 11/18/2025 ' C)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $2,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Berg & Associates, Inc. for On-Call Construction Management, Materials Testing and Inspection Services; and D)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $2,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Certerra RMA Group for On-Call Construction Management, Materials Testing and Inspection Services; and E)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $1,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Dudek for On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services; and F)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $2,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and GHD Inc. for On-Call Construction Management, Materials Testing and Inspection Services; and G)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $1,000,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and GMU Engineers and Geologists, Inc. for On- Call Materials Testing; and H)Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $2,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Harris & Associates, Inc. for On-Call Construction Management, Materials Testing and Inspection Services; and .44 I) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $1,500,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and PSOMAS for On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services. Alternative Action(s): Do not authorize the contracts and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: To efficiently manage the City's growing Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the City utilizes on-call professional service contract agreements with pre-qualified firms that provide specialized services on an as-needed basis. These contracts allow staff to quickly assign work when specific projects or increased workloads arise, without committing to a guaranteed minimum amount of work. This approach provides both flexibility and cost efficiency, enabling the City to meet service demands without adding permanent staff. Each year, the City undertakes an extensive CIP that includes a wide range of infrastructure improvements requiring engineering and construction support. Many projects demand construction management, materials testing, inspection, and regulatory compliance services that extend beyond internal staff capacity. Engaging qualified external consultants allows the City to ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with federal and state standards. City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 4 Printed on 11/12/2025 powered by LegistarTM 392 File #: 25-881 MEETING DATE: 11/18/2025 In response to an expanded CIP budget-from $35 million to $63 million-the City anticipates the need for an increased number of on-call contracts to meet the additional workload and project complexity over the next three years. Such large projects and developments include multiple lift stations, water wells, arterial street rehabilitations, bridge rehabilitations, traffic signal and lighting projects, facility rehabilitation, and park projects. In addition to CIP construction management and inspection services the contracts are used to provide inspection duties for the Development Section. These duties include inspection services for utility permits and larger development projects that are covered by developer impact fees. Procurement Process To proactively prepare for this workload, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on June 13, 2025, inviting firms to provide On-Call Construction Management, Materials Testing, and Inspection Services. The RFQ encompassed a range of disciplines including project management, materials testing, design-build, and progressive design-build services. The solicitation process followed the procedures established in Chapter 3.03 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC), which governs the selection of professional service providers, and complied with the federal Brooks Act and California Senate Bill 419. The City received twenty-seven (27) proposals in response. A three-member evaluation panel- comprised of representatives from the Public Works Department-reviewed and ranked the submittals based on qualifications and relevant experience. The Public Works Department consistently attracts highly qualified firms for such RFQs, resulting in a robust and competitive selection process. Based on evaluation results, staff recommend awarding nine (9) on-call contracts to firms to continue service to existing projects. The nine firms listed would reduce any potential interruption of construction services. Additionally, nine (9) other qualified firms shall be considered for further approval and will be recommended in a subsequent council meeting. Recommended Firms The current recommended firms are: Accenture Infrastructure and Capital Projects, LLC; Ardurra Group, Inc.; Berg & Associates, Inc.; Certerra RMA Group; Dudek; GHD Inc.; GMU Engineers and Geologists, Inc.; Harris & Associates, Inc.; and PSOMAS. Funding and Contract Terms Funding for these services will be drawn from Public Works project and program budgets. Work will be assigned through individual task orders on a time-and-material basis, with consultants compensated only upon completion of assigned tasks.

REFERENCES — PROJECT EXAMPLES AND KEY PERSONNEL Below is a selection of notable public agency projects completed in the past 7 years that are similar to the RFP's Scope of Services. Key personnel referenced in the projects below are discussed in more detail in the Preferred Staffing section of this proposal. Resumes for key personnel are attached in Appendix A of this proposal. City of Huntington Beach Role: Prime Service: Pavement Evaluation and Design Recommendations Services Contact: Mr. Joe Fuentes, Senior Civil Engineer 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 jfuentes@surfcity-hb.org; 714-536-5431 Project Name: Hamilton Avenue (Newland Street to Magnolia Street), Heil Avenue (Goldenwest Street to Gothard Street), and Bolsa Avenue (Graham Street to Edwards Street), FY 22-23 Arterial Rehabilitation, CC- 1702 Project, Dates: September 2022 to June 2023 (design phase) November 2024 to present (FDR mix design phase) Key Personnel: Roger Schlierkamp June 13, 2025 10 GMU Project 25-144-00 826 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach ' :IV 6 VII Services Performed: GMU provided pavement evaluation services for 3 arterial street segments in Huntington Beach, California, in 2023. The project included Hamilton Avenue, Heil Avenue, and Bolsa Avenue. GMU conducted pavement corings, deflection testing with a Falling-Weight Deflectometer (FWD), and laboratory testing to develop cost-effective rehabilitation design recommendations. Deflection data identified weak pavement areas and informed overlay thickness design. Currently, GMU is developing the FOR mix design for Bolsa Avenue as the next project phase. Special Problems or Difficulties: The pavements evaluated in this project were in "poor" to "very poor" condition, with significant pumping subgrade issues posing a challenge. Given the city's limited budget, we implemented an innovative and cost- effective design approach by recommending full-depth reclamation with cement treatment (FOR-C).

In the late 1990s, distress to a portion of La Paz Road, adjacent to a County Regional Park, was observed. GMU provided monitoring services at that time, including visual observation and installation and monitoring of slope inclinometers and crack-meters. Due to distress to the roadway from fill settlement, GMU performed a geotechnical investigation and prepared an emergency repair design consisting of installation of multiple caissons to protect the roadway from the movement of the slope below within the park. Since that time, GMU has periodically provided monitoring services and repair recommendations to mitigate ongoing movement of the slope supporting the southbound lanes of the road. In 2019, an active landslide was identified within the park that is undermining the road. GMU began to provide monitoring services, including slope inclinometers and visual observation by a Certified Engineering Geologist, as well as peer review of a geotechnical design report for stabilization of the landslide by Moulton Niguel Water District. The stabilization consists of installation of two rows of tiebacks, horizontal drains, and grading to mitigate the movement of the slope. We provided geotechnical observation and testing for the recent traffic realignment project that re-established bidirectional traffic flow while avoiding the distressed portion of the road. GMU is continuing to monitor the site to evaluate whether the stabilization has arrested the movement and distress to the roadway. Later this year, it is anticipated that we will be able to provide value engineering to the City to significantly reduce the scope of the long-term repair of the road.

UNDERSTANDING AND METHODOLOGY SECTION GMU's understanding of the Scope of Work and the City's objectives to be accomplished is demonstrated below. In addition, we have included descriptions of our innovative approaches to projects and solutions to typical City projects. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING AND SPECIAL INSPECTION PROJECTS Prior to construction or paving, GMU will attend a pre-construction or pre-pave meeting with the City and Contractor where topics such as scheduling, coordination, laboratory testing requirements, expectations, contact persons, and specifications are discussed collaboratively. Pavement-related submittals, such as asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete mix designs, are reviewed and recommended for approval or resubmittal. June 13, 2025 19 GMU Project 25-144-00 835 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach G� �u During construction, GMU will deploy Caltrans-certified field engineering technicians to provide quality assurance observation and acceptance testing services. In the field, technicians will perform compaction testing and observations related to the materials being constructed (e.g., asphalt concrete temperatures, lift thicknesses, etc.). Our technicians will also collect material samples, perform plant inspections (as needed), and verify that the work performed and materials used satisfy the project's plans and specifications from a materials testing and observation standpoint. The field engineering technicians will document the results of inspection and testing services for each project. Daily inspection reports will be prepared that summarize the tests and observations. GMU has provided quality assurance observation and testing services on federally funded projects. These projects typically require testing and inspection services to be provided in accordance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and Quality Assurance Program. GMU possesses experience with these types of detail-oriented projects and can provide these services efficiently and cost-effectively. GMU typically requires 48 hours' notice when requesting a technician for field observation or testing services. Laboratory testing turnaround times vary depending on the test(s) being performed but typically range between 1 to 3 business days for construction quality- assurance laboratory tests (maximum density, etc.). The material collected in the field or plant is returned to GMU's County of Orange, Caltrans, AMRL, and AASHTO-certified laboratory. Laboratory testing will be performed to test the various construction materials for specification compliance purposes. Typical laboratory tests performed during construction include the following: • Asphalt binder content (% AC) • Sand Equivalent • Hveem Stability (S-Value) • Wet Track Abrasion Test • Gradation (after-burn or prior to mixing) • Moisture content • Maximum-density and optimum moisture • Emulsion content content (ASTM and Caltrans) • R-value • Core density • More • Concrete Compressive Strength June 13,2025 20 GMU Project 25-144-00 836 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach G� t to o GMU's current on-call geotechnical services to the City meet the requirements of the City's Quality Assurance Program, and our services to be provided per this proposal will continue to meet these requirements. PAVEMENT ENGINEERING PROJECTS For pavement evaluation projects, an outline of our typical work plan is summarized below: Task 1 — Document Review, Pavement Surface Condition Assessment, and Dig Alert Coordination A document review of existing as-built drawings and previous geotechnical/pavement reports will be performed. The information gathered from this review will be considered in the analysis and development of pavement repair recommendations (i.e., existing pavement section thicknesses, date of last pavement improvement work, etc.). GMU will perform a pavement surface condition assessment to identify the type, extent, and severity levels of the pavement distress in general accordance with ASTM D 6433. Pavement coring locations will be marked in coordination with the City, and DigAlert (Underground Service Alert) will be notified to assess potential conflict with known underground utilities before performing pavement corings. Task 2 — Field Exploration GMU will obtain a no-fee encroachment permit from the City for the proposed field exploration. Pavement corings will be performed to a maximum depth of approximately 4 feet below the top of the existing asphalt surface using an electric-powered core drill. Sampling and digging below the AC section will be performed using hand tools. The thickness of the existing asphalt concrete (AC) and aggregate base (AB), where encountered, will be recorded. Other information, such as the presence of McAdams base rock, aggregate base type, presence of paving fabric, and groundwater table, will be recorded if encountered. Bulk samples of the subgrade soil will be collected, and at select locations, June 13, 2025 21 GMU Project 25-144-00 837 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach GAL; drive samples will be collected at the top approximate foot or so of the subgrade to gather in-place density and moisture information. Upon completion of the sampling, the core hole will be backfilled with soil cuttings or other suitable backfill materials and capped with asphalt concrete cold patch. Traffic control will consist of single-lane closures performed in accordance with the WATCH Manual. Task 3 — Laboratory Testing Laboratory testing will be conducted in our AASHTO and Caltrans-certified laboratory on the samples collected from the field investigation program. Depending on the pavement conditions, laboratory tests may include: • R-value; • Sieve No. 200 wash for soil classification; • Atterberg limits for soil classification; • Sulfate content; • Expansion index; • Maximum density and optimum moisture content; and • In-place moisture/density. Task 4 — Deflection Testing and Analysis Non-destructive pavement deflection testing will be performed using GMU's in-house falling weight deflectometer in accordance with California Test 356. Deflection testing involves applying an impact load (simulating truck traffic) and measuring the corresponding deflection response. Generally, lower deflection readings indicate a stronger pavement section, whereas higher deflection measurements indicate a weaker pavement section. Deflection testing can also identify weak areas that visual surface inspection may not. The data gathered from the deflection tests will be analyzed. Measured deflection readings will be compared to "tolerable" deflections to assess structural adequacy. Variables such as in-place AC pavement thickness and design traffic index are factored June 13, 2025 22 GMU Project 25-144-00 838 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach VI"� IV 6 1 into the analysis to determine the required mill-and-overlay thickness to improve structurally inadequate pavement sections to a structurally adequate condition. Moving closure traffic control, consisting of a traffic control truck and an arrow board following the deflection testing operation, typically accompanies the deflection testing vehicle. Task 5 — Ground Penetrating Radar Testing To reduce the number of days of pavement corings, traffic control, and associated costs, GMU offers GPR testing. GPR testing allows significantly more data to be gathered, compared to performing corings alone while also reducing the overall cost of our field exploration program. GMU will perform non-destructive ground-penetrating radar (GPR) testing and analysis to obtain continuous subsurface information. GPR data will capture details such as the presence and thickness of asphalt concrete and underlying aggregate base. This continuous measurement of pavement layer thickness reduces the number of cores needed. GPR testing involves emitting a series of radar waves into the pavement structure using the GSSI RoadScan 30 system. This system includes a GSSI SIR-30 radar control unit, data acquisition system, electronic wheel-mounted distance measuring instrument (DMI), GPS, and antennas of various frequencies. We propose using a 2 GHz "air horn" antenna positioned 18 inches above the ground surface, capable of scanning to a depth of approximately 1.5 to 2 feet, depending on material types. GPR testing will be conducted at traffic speeds, allowing for the collection of several miles of data in a single day. RADAN7 software will be used to analyze the GPR data collected. The dielectric constant of each pavement structural layer will be evaluated to interpret layer types and thicknesses. The depths to the bottom of each pavement layer will be calculated based on the two-way travel time of the GPR signal and the amplitude of the reflected energy. GPR data will be calibrated by comparing computed depths to "ground-truth" coring data. June 13, 2025 23 GMU Project 25-144-00 839 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach VI�" s IV Task 6 — Pavement Engineering Analysis Pavement engineering analysis will be performed in accordance with the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. Caltrans AC design methodology considers the relationship between the traffic index (TI), subgrade soil strength (through R-value testing), and the gravel factors of the various pavement layers, allowing us to estimate the required pavement thicknesses. We will utilize the Ti provided by the Project Civil Engineer or the City for the requested design life. Task 7 — Identification of Isolated AC Repair Locations GMU will identify isolated AC repair locations. This task involves visually assessing each street segment to identify areas recommended for isolated AC repairs (e.g., areas showing depressions, medium- or high-severity alligator cracking, and/or areas that recorded high deflection). The locations will be marked on a map and provided to the civil design firm in CAD format to incorporate into the street improvement plans. Task 8 — Pavement Evaluation and Improvement Recommendations Report A report summarizing our findings, conclusions, and recommendations will be prepared. The final report will include: • Site location map; • Coring location map; • Summary of information gathered from the document review; • Select photographs of the pavement surface condition; • A table summarizingcoringlocations andpavement coringinformation (asphalt ( p concrete thickness, aggregate base thickness, subgrade soil type, etc.); • Laboratory testing results; • Falling Weight Deflectometer; • Isolated AC pavement (AC patch) repair map, if part of the recommended pavement repair strategy; • Conclusions regarding potential causes of pavement deterioration; and June 13, 2025 24 GMU Project 25-144-00 840 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach G , L J • Pavement improvement recommendations to achieve the requested design life. GMU will typically provide two (2) pavement improvement recommendations to provide options for the City. GMU possesses extensive experience in developing cost-effective pavement repair alternatives, including the following: • Localized AC repairs (patches) followed by mill-and-overlay repair using conventional AC or rubberized AC pavement. • Cold in-place (CIR) or cold central plant recycled (CCPR) asphalt concrete (AC) pavement. • Cement stabilized pulverized base (CSPB) as part of the pavement structural section. • Cement- or lime-stabilized soils (CSS or LSB) for subgrade stabilization and/or as part of the pavement structural section. • Fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete (FRAC) to improve reflective cracking resistance and/or reduce required AC thickness. • Rubberized hot-mix asphalt (RHMA or ARHM overlays). • Geogrid/geotextiles to reduce required aggregate base thickness or to stabilize subgrade conditions. The procedures described in Tasks 1 through 8, and our experience in design and construction of these strategies, allow us to recommend cost-effective alternative pavement repair strategies. The final report will be signed and stamped by a California registered Civil Engineer specializing in Pavement Engineering. GEOTECHN1CAL ENGINEERING PROJECTS For geotechnical engineering projects, our work plan depends on the complexity and specific type of project. Overall, GMU's approach to any project is to assemble a project team of personnel with strengths specific to the project's needs. More specifically, our approach to a typical geotechnical investigation/design project is summarized as follows: June 13, 2025 25 GMU Project 25-144-00 841 On-Call Construction Materials Testing Services Proposal, City of Huntington Beach VI�. IV Task 1 — Background Document Review — review of available geotechnical and geologic reports and publications. Task 2 — Field Exploration (if required) — Includes site reconnaissance, surface mapping, and subsurface exploration as needed to obtain geotechnical data pertinent to the site.
