details of the proposed project and site location. Traffic control will be performed, as ap-
propriate, in general accordance with the W.A.T.C.H. manual.
· Laboratory testing of representative soil samples to evaluate the soil characteristics. Labo-
ratory testing may include in-situ moisture and dry density, gradation, maximum density and
optimum moisture content, consolidation and expansion potential, expansion index, con-
solidation, shear strength, corrosivity and sulfate content, and R-value testing.

Construction Inspection and Environmental Services
We understand that construction inspection services, including reinforced concrete, pre-
stressed concrete, structural steel, welding, masonry, and roofing are not a part of this RFP;
however, Ninyo & Moore has in-house inspectors that our certified by the ICC, AWS, DSA, that
can provide construction inspection if required. In addition, our in-house environmental services
include hazardous materials evaluation and abatement/remediation and we have been able to
quickly respond and remediate unanticipated soil/groundwater contamination as well as
unanticipated lead paint/asbestos abatement on many past projects, with very little if any delay
to the construction schedule. We mention these additional services due to the benefit they
have provided to many of our materials testing and geotechnical engineering clients when
unexpected emergency situations arose and we were able to quickly respond and resolve the
issues for them.
Scheduling
Ninyo & Moore is committed to providing prompt, efficient, and high quality materials testing
and geotechnical engineering services throughout the contract duration. As one of the largest
geotechnical and environmental firms in southern California, Ninyo & Moore has the personnel
