Brief Summary CTL I Thompson, Inc. is the result of the 1977 merger of Robert W. Thompson, Inc., established in 1971 and Commercial Testing Laboratories, established in 1947. Since the merger, the company has steadily grown and broadened technical services and expertise to support our client's needs. Geographically, the company has expanded to offer services throughout the Rocky Mountain Region, Wyoming and Texas. CTL I Thompson, Inc. offers a full range of construction materials testing and special inspection services to assist our clients in sampling, testing, and documenting the quality of construction materials and methods. All of our engineering technicians are certified and trained in the construction observation and materials testing services they are asked to perform. Our Fort Collins branch office can provide a full range of services including, but not limited to, sampling and laboratory testing for aggregates, concrete, and asphalt materials, construction observation and materials testing services, geotechnical investigations, pavement designs, stormwater management plans, environmental assessments and remediation, and structural designs for retaining walls, bridges, and foundations. B. Statement of Understanding The Request for Proposal 7291 describes the requested services as Geotechnical Testing Service. Our service of this contract would be supplied from our Fort Collins Office - our Field Department would provide the materials testing and construction observation services while our Geotechnical Engineering Department would provide the geotechnical consulting and pavement design services. . We understand the City of Fort Collins will most likely use this contract for materials testing and observations services such as aggregate sampling and testing, asphalt sampling and testing, concrete sampling and testing (air, slump, compressive strength) and soil sampling and testing. We have experienced and certified technicians who would be available on a full-time or part-time basis as required to perform all of the above testing. We would also have certified technicians available to perform specialty inspections such as structural steel weld and bolt inspection, epoxied anchor inspection, masonry observation and sampling, drilled pier installation observation, and reinforcing steel observation. CTL I Thompson makes a point of maintaining an experienced staff with the capabilities and certifications to meet all of our clients' needs from our Fort Collins office. We understand the geotechnical engineering component of the contract would involve the planning and execution of subsurface testing, performance of laboratory testing and the preparation of pavement designs. Our reports would identify the subsurface conditions and provide a variety of pavement options including the risks related to each one. C. Proposed Approach Our Fort Collins Branch consists of highly qualified, certified, and experienced technicians and engineers. The resumes included with this submittal are for some of the employees of the Fort Collins office that would be assigned to work on the City projects. It will be our approach to provide all of the materials testing and engineering work locally In order to provide a streamlined set of contacts and a more consistent product. However, a few specific laboratory tests may need to be performed at our Denver laboratory due to specialized equipment needs. 3 CTLITHOMPSON Having worked on numerous CDOT and Federal Stimulus projects in the past, our Fort Collins Field Department is comfortable with and capable of helping the City manage the Materials Documentation Record Form 250. Our approach to helping the City manage the requirements outlined in the Form 250 would involve an initial meeting with the engineer • and/or inspector to discuss the test types and frequencies with regard to the quantities of materials being placed. During this meeting, we would define a going -in position for when and how the testing will take place to make sure all required tests will be performed for each material. We will then work closely with the engineer, inspector, and supplier throughout the project to ensure all required tests are covered even if the material quantities change. Our approach to the geotechnical engineering portion of the contract would be to evaluate the project site and provide alternatives, which could then be evaluated by the owner and design team to assist determining efficiencies and overall cost savings without impacting the performance of the improvements. Our approach to evaluating subsurface conditions at the project site would be to provide alternatives and associated risks in order for the owner and design team to select the option most suitable for their needs and budget considerations. Our goal is to work as an integral part of a team consisting of our staff, City personnel, contractors, and suppliers. We believe the keys to successful projects include constant and open communication as well as a commitment to resolving problems as quickly as possible. Our approach would not involve the need for any sub consultants - we have sufficient expertise and staff in our Fort Collins Office. And, if necessary, we can pull additional staff or expertise from our 5 other offices in Colorado and Cheyenne. D. CTL I Thompson Capabilities Materials Testing Services CTL I Thompson offers a full range of construction observation and materials testing services in order to sample, test, and document the quality of construction methods and materials.

He has over 16 years of varied geotechnical engineering experience and has worked on a diverse set of projects in the northern Colorado region, Mr. Leadbetter will serve as the high-level manager and reviewer for all of the engineering services and field and laboratory testing for this contract. Heather Grubb Ms. Grubb is the Field Department Manager for our Fort Collins branch office. She will be your main contact for project cost estimation, day-to-day project management including management of the Materials Documentation Form 250, daily project reporting, and project billing for construction observation and materials testing services, Craig Ellis Mr. Ellis is the Field Supervisor for our Fort Collins branch office. Mr. Ellis will be your main contact for scheduling laboratory testing and field technician site visits. He will be available 5 CTLITHOMPSON • by cell phone for questions and will report laboratory test results to the appropriate parties when they become available. • F. Turn -around Time and Test Results Your primary contacts to schedule testing services will be Mr. Craig Ellis at his cell phone number (970) 567-1328 or the receptionist at our main office number (970) 206-9455. Our staff would be available full-time at our office or on site if needed to attend meetings, answer questions, and respond to testing needs. We would be available to cover all • concrete, asphalt, and soil testing within 2 hours of the call or request. Our technicians all carry cell phones, which allows us to be flexible and cover any testing requests made at least 2 hours (and usually 1 hour) prior to the requested time. Our technicians will arrive at the scheduled time and stay as long as necessary to complete the required testing/observation services. We will be flexible and adjust schedules to • accommodate additional testing if non -compliant tests occur or extra testing becomes necessary. We make every effort to assign the same technicians to each project to ensure consistency and provide the highest level of service. Our technicians will report their field observations and test results (particularly any non -compliant test results) to the appropriate City and contractor representatives as soon as they have completed their site visit. If the City representative is not available when testing is completed, all non -compliant test results • will be communicated to them via phone. Our technicians will leave a field copy of their test results with the inspector prior to leaving the project site. When issues occur, our technicians are experienced and can provide on -the -spot recommendations in most situations. They are also able to call our office if they feel further input or expertise is needed. Because our office is local, we can have additional assistance on site very quickly to address problems head-on and solve them quickly while the necessary personnel and equipment • are still on site, saving both money and time. Our laboratory will report asphalt test results to the appropriate City, contractor, and supplier representatives as soon as they are ready (normally via phone). We would be able to provide asphalt content results within one hour as stated in you Request for Proposal. We will provide final, signed reports to the City within 48 hours of the site visit. The one exception to this would be concrete compressive strength test results, which are typically reported as the breaks occur, so the first report is often not issued until 7 days after the site visit. Our reports will include a summary of test results and clearly state whether the test results are within specified limits as detailed in the project plans and specifications. Non -compliant laboratory test results will be communicated via phone to the City inspector and other designated parties as soon as they are known. G. Fees Our proposed fees as detailed in Exhibit B of your Request for Proposal 7291 are presented in Appendix A. Because CDOT normally requires concrete property testing on the first three trucks for each concrete pour, we will charge the time for testing the additional trucks at an hourly rate of $50 per hour and for an amount of no more than 1 hour per truck for a maximum of $50 per additional truck. If the trucks are in close succession, we will only charge 1/2 hour per additional truck for a total of $25 per additional truck. 6 CTLITHOMPSON 1• Stand-by time will be charged at an hourly rate for all testing that is cancelled or rescheduled after our technician arrives on site at the originally scheduled time. As long as our office is informed that a test has been cancelled or rescheduled at least 1 hour in advance of the originally scheduled time, we will not charge stand-by time. The amount of • stand-by time for a cancelled or rescheduled test will be the drive time to get to the project site, so will normally be'/s hour and will never be more than 1 hour. Stand-by time will also be charged if our technician is requested to wait on site or return for a second site visit due to equipment or plant breakdowns. Finally, stand-by time will be charged for concrete testing if our technician waits on site before testing begins for more than 1/2 hour past the originally scheduled test time due to the contractor not being ready or the concrete truck being late, • We normally only charge'/2 hour of stand-by time for these instances. We will not charge additionally for overtime or weekend hours - they will be billed at our normal rates. � • H.
