5. Laboratory Certifications
INSURING QUALITY TEST RESULTS
The results of a laboratory test are only as valid as the procedure used to run it. As
a result, City and Governmental Agencies often require materials laboratories to hold
certain certifications and/or participate in industry accreditation programs. These
programs test the competency of a testing laboratory and its staff to CORRECTLY
perform laboratory testing per the required test methods. They also insure
procedures and calibrated equipment are kept up to date.
Reliant’s Materials Testing Laboratories are certified by AASHTO, AMRL, the Cities
of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Long Beach, The Division of the State Architect
(DSA) and Cal Trans. We are also accredited by the Concrete Cement Reference
Laboratory (CCRL) and participate in the CCRL and American Materials Reference
Laboratory (AMRL) reference sample program.

6. Approach
ON TIME AND WITHIN BUDGET
PROJECT APPROACH
Work Management Plan
Inspectors and Technicians are assigned to provide inspection during the various
phases of construction on an as needed basis. After a review of the project scope
and our experience on similar projects, we anticipate the number and type of
inspectors needed. We understand that this can fluctuate during the life of the
project. The lead inspector would be assigned to the project throughout the
construction period to maintain continuity. Reliant is committed to providing
technicians and inspectors who are not only highly trained and competent, but are
also multi-licensed, enhancing the ability to provide a cost effective service.
Additional inspectors are assigned to support the lead inspector as needed during
peak construction activity. Individual structural steel and welding inspectors may be
required for shop fabrication and onsite erection, bolting and welding. In addition, the
lead inspector may require support staff during large concrete pours, exceeding 300
cubic yards per day, or when multiple tasks are being performed at the same time.
Laboratory tests will be required on the materials used in each stage of construction.
Our onsite inspection team will obtain the required samples during the execution of
the inspection duties. Samples are delivered to the laboratory and tested as
required by the governing documents.
Project Management Plan
Reliant responds to our client's field inspection and testing needs by planning and
assigning a management team tailored to meet the specific requirements of each
project. To accomplish this goal, the project manager, who is assigned during the
proposal preparation, is responsible for the day-to-day project management and for
estimating, coordinating, scheduling, and meeting budget requirements. In addition,
the project manger assembles a project team made up of staff members and/or
consultants who are the most qualified to meet the project requirements. The project
manager is the team member who insures that the client and other consultants are
informed of all pertinent issues during the duration of the project.
Budget
The Reliant Project Manager and Project Engineer work closely with the entire
construction team toward the common goal of an “On Time” and “On Budget” project.
Reliant provides a line item cost to date recap with every invoice, and written
notification when the project cost reaches 75% of the original fee estimate.
Reliant believes we are an integral part of the project team. Qualified personnel
attend project meetings as necessary, especially during those critical phases of
construction requiring more stringent oversight from a quality control prospective.

7. Approach
ON TIME AND WITHIN BUDGET
PROJECT APPROACH
Accuracy
All test and inspection reports are accurate
and timely. This data is reviewed and confirmed
by the Reliant project manager and engineer,
then forwarded to the project team. A project
cost recap is compiled and submitted with each
invoice, this enables the testing and inspection
progress and costs to be easily and accurately
tracked.
Client Reporting
Reliant understands your need for
accurate and timely reports. Our estimated
project fee includes the issuance, review and
distribution of all daily inspection, testing and
final compliance reports. Field reports are
left in the field office daily. Fabrication reports can be faxed or emailed to the project
site on a daily basis. Reliant’s staff will distribute reports to your entire project team
via USPS or email on a weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly basis. Reliant will tailor our
distribution to your project requirements. In addition, initial compression results will be
faxed or emailed to your project site within 24 hours. Reliant will provide a final
report of compliance upon completion of the project. Your report will consist of a
bound hard copy and CD of all daily field reports, final test reports, and final letters of
compliance signed and stamped by our principal registered engineer.
Scheduling
Reliant is staffed with over 80 employees, technicians and special inspectors. Not
only have we NEVER let a project go un-covered, but can frequently cover last
minute requests to keep the project on schedule. Our staff understands the
frustrations of schedule delays due to a needed inspection or test result. To better
accommodate our clients needs, Reliant provides a 24/7 emergency dispatch line.
Safety Record and Safety Training
The goal at every construction site is a safe and injury free environment. Reliant is a
safety-oriented company, and maintains an excellent safety record. Reliant’s
principals and staff recognize that the diversity of projects and work conditions vary
from site to site. Reliant relies upon our hands-on training programs and their
application to each situation. Reliant’s employees attend your tailgate safety
meetings, and are to act in a safe manner at all times. To achieve our goal of
preventing accidents and providing a safe work environment all employees must be
safety conscious.

15. GROUND WATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM
Project
ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT
The Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System is a jointly funded project of the
Orange County Water District (OCWD) and Orange County Sanitation District
(OCSD) with OCWD as the lead or constructing agency. The GWR System is a water
supply project designed to ultimately reuse approximately 140,000 acre-feet per
year (afy) of advanced treated wastewater (recycled water). The GWR System will
supplement existing water supplies by providing a new, reliable, high-quality
source of water to recharge the Orange County Groundwater Basin (the Basin)
and protect the Basin from further degradation due to seawater intrusion. It will
also postpone the need for OCSD to construct a new ocean outfall by treating
excess storm flows.
Owner/Client
The GWR System is comprised of three major components: (1) Advanced Water
Orange County Water District
Purification Facility (AWPF) and pumping stations; (2) a major pipeline connecting
the purification facility to existing recharge basins; and (3) expansion of an
General Contractor
existing seawater intrusion barrier. Phase 1 of the GWR System will have a
JF Shea Company, Inc.
nominal rated product water capacity of 70 million gallons per day (mgd). The
construction of the GWR System consists of seven major construction contracts

18. WOMANS CENTER & ER EXPANSION (OSHPD)
Project
UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES
The 72,000-square-foot expansion of the Women's Center emergency room at
Rancho Springs Medical Center consisted of one two-story, cast-in-place
concrete building with stud framing, plaster exteriors, and punched windows.
The structure is supported with 9000 psi gravity columns and 5000 psi concrete
decks with no cold joints. Placing the 9,000-psi concrete posed a significant
challenge to the McCarthy team because it cures much faster than the 5,000-psi
mix being used for the decks. To bring together the different concrete mix
designs, the concrete crew had to carefully coordinate and time the delivery of
the 9000-psi mix design so that the two mixes could be blended where the
concrete deck and columns join. McCarthy constructed mock-ups of the column- Owner/Client
to-deck connections to determine the best sequence and method of placement. Universal Health Services, Inc.
