MATRIX ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. w'%w.MatrixEngineeringGroup.com 1 Firm Experience with Geotechnical Services The following Team will manage the Geotechnical and Geo-Environmental Engineering Services. Management guidelines and methodology for executing the project assignment follows. Senior Engineers: Overall Management, Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering Consultations, Engineering Recommendations, and Consulting with the County Engineers and Project Managers: Mr.Amin Tomeh,PE,PMP,D.GE Mr.Sam Alvateem,PE Project Engineers: Coordinate field activities (i.e. boring layout, utility clearance, sampling. supervision of drilling crew,and traffic control, if necessary). Mr. Eric Taylor, Master ICC Inspector and Certified Hazardous Materials Assessor Mr.Jean Claude Toriz, Staff Engineer Mr.Sulemana Al-Hasan, Staff Engineer Mr.Ashraf Abukhalaf, Staff Engineer Matrix Laboratory Facilities: Geotechnical and Environmental Laboratory Testing MANAGEMENT APPROACH Once a Geotechnical project is assigned to Matrix, the following protocol is typically followed: Review of relevant drawings, maps, and information available at the City of Augusta to make a preliminary assessment of the scope of work. ➢ Once the project scope is defined, a budget will be developed and discussed with the City of Augusta Engineering Department project manager. Alternatives will be discussed with the City of Augusta Engineering Department project managers and the designer to ensure that economical options are evaluated prior to finalizing the budget. Once the required Purchase Order is approved,one of the senior engineers will take charge on the execution of the work. The Senior Engineer will determine the resources required to complete the work. Matrix and its team members have adequate staff and equipment to perform the sampling and field sampling and laboratory testing service solicited in this proposal. The senior engineer will assign a staff engineer to coordinate all of the activities to complete the field work.A meeting will be held with the staff engineer(s) in order to prepare an overall plan to meet the project objectives. MATRIX ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. wA%w.MatrixLnaineeringGroup.com 2 Available as-built or existing drawing will be reviewed to better evaluate the field conditions. Prior to performing the field work, the necessary access and or permits will be obtained to ensure a safe operation. y If work will be conducted at an existing structure,coordination with the maintenance staff and/or facilities' manager is made to determine an acceptable work schedule based on the City of Augusta operation, activities and programs. If the site is wooded,the engineer would establish a plan of clearing paths for access by the drilling equipment.Clearing of trees, if necessary,will be limited to small caliber trees upon verification with the City of Augusta Engineering Department representatives. Field data will be gathered in accordance with the applicable standards and requirements (ASTM, EPA/EPD, FAA, DOT, NESHAP, and ACI, as warranted). Matrix. has a list of drilling subcontractors (i.e. Kilman Brothers Drilling & Geo-Lab Drilling). The selection of the drilling company would be based on the type of work performed(i.e. geotechnical or geo- environmental)and ability to respond to the project demands. Once samples are obtained, the necessary field documentation and/or chain of custody records will be generated and the samples transported to the appropriate laboratory for processing and designated laboratory testing. r The Senior Engineer will review the field data, laboratory test results, and perform the necessary engineering evaluation to determine the geotechnical or environmental parameters and make recommendations for the design and construction of the project. If unfavorable site conditions prevail that could impact the proposed construction, the designer and owner representatives will be contacted for preliminary discussions of the site conditions and allow the designer to determine if other alternatives that would be most economical for the site. A preliminary report of the findings can be transmitted upon the request of the Architect/Engineer/Owner. Otherwise, a final report will be completed, signed, stamped by a Registered Engineer in the State of Georgia, and transmitted to the City/Designer, as directed by the City Project Manager. Matrix engineering professionals will be available at the request of the owner to discuss the findings and recommendations as well as for consultations. Matrix engineering staff have extensive experience and adequate resources in the City of Augusta and is committed to dedicate its staff to fulfill its obligations. We believe that the City of Augusta will find Matrix an important member of the desi gn and construction team that is able to solve challenging field conditions with innovative solutions during the design and construction phases.

Matrix Engineering Group, Inc. uses a dynamic fully-automated reporting and document management system.Matrix partnered in 2011 with HBNext,an innovative and global leader in the field of internet-based services,invested over$25,000 and jointly developed a unique on- demand records management system to streamline its Construction Materials Testing, Laboratory, and Special inspections services.This system enables Matrix field personnel to upload their findings in real-time to an accessible online server thus eliminating secretarial and clerical input. This in turn eliminates any administrative fees which substantially reduces clerical errors, enhances the review process,and allows a quick transmittal of reports to the Owner and the project design and construction teams. This system also maintains all project documents in a project file that is accessible with the use of a PC or Mobile Smart phone by the client from any locations at any time including a list of deficient/failed tests or inspections. Based on our experience with large projects that were completed in the past several years,the feedback of our clients,and the positive comments Matrix receives on the quality and usefulness of its reports, we feel that Matrix is most qualified to assist the City of Augusta achieving a high level of confidence in the quality of its projects ensuring that these components exceed the intended design life at the lowest maintenance cost.
