Section E. HCEA’s Project Approach (State College High School)

Prior to construction, HCEA project manager Robert P. Etters, P.E. will meet with representatives of the owner, design team, the construction manager (Massaro CMS) as well as the contractor (Lobar, Inc.). This meeting will provide an opportunity for an open discussion relative to the required special inspection services and a review of the CRCA procedures and requirements as well as the associated report forms. At this meeting a report distribution will be generated with the expectation that all reports will be distributed electronically in a timely manner to all parties. An area will also be identified for on-site storage of CRCA reports. Preliminary services would likely include obtaining soil and aggregate samples of anticipated borrow sources so that any testing outlined in the specifications can be performed prior to commencing earthmoving activities. Performing this testing prior to the onset of construction will reduce the likelihood of delays associated with unsuitable material placement or import. These samples will be transported to HCEA’s laboratory for testing. Laboratory testing will be performed in our accredited laboratory in accordance with applicable standards (ACI, ASTM, PennDOT, etc.) HCEA will assign a senior technician (Shawn McCauley) to the project at the onset. Shawn is ACI and nuclear gauge certified and experienced with projects of similar scope and magnitude. Shawn will be the primary field representative during construction and will be supplemented with additional personnel as needed. Shawn will perform low mobility grouting inspections and tests at the Radio Park Elementary School project and can perform floor flatness and leveless testing. Once the project gets underway; scheduling of testing will be done through HCEA field operations supervisor, Chris Moyer. We would request that scheduling be performed 24 hours prior to site arrival but will make all attempts to accommodate last minute requests. Upon daily arrival, the day’s schedule will be discussed with Massaro as well as the contractor. Standard practices such as cold or hot weather concrete placement will be discussed prior to material arrival on-site. The technician will identify secure (out of the way) areas to place test specimens cast to represent this date’s material placement. During placement of material, the technician will perform appropriate material testing. Samples will be collected by personnel and transported to HCEA’s laboratory for additional testing. Site access may be required to provide for weekend collections. All results will be provided to Massaro personnel as well as the contractor throughout the day. Any failing results or unsuitable observations will be immediately presented to Massaro as well as the contractor. The HCEA technician will make recommendations relative to improving conditions or material properties. These recommendations will be discussed with an HCEA engineer on an as-needed basis. If needed, a HCEA engineer will visit the site to provide additional assistance. All structural element testing will be performed by HCEA Certified Weld Inspector (CWI) Joe Williams. This testing would include bolted and welded connections, fire proofing and verification of erector qualifications. Joe will also perform any shop inspections if required prior to material delivery. Any EIFS related inspections will also be performed by Joe as he is an EIFS certified inspector.




All field reports will be reviewed by an engineer prior to electronic distribution. CRCA and other parties can be copied directly on these reports, if requested. Additionally, material suppliers could be added to the report distribution to improve communication. Upon completion of the project, HCEA will complete the CRCA A-5 Form indicating that all special inspections were successfully performed and no outstanding deficiencies remain.

5. SAFETY HCEA is only responsible for the on-site safety of its own employees. However, this shall not be construed to relieve the Client or any of its contractors from their responsibilities for maintaining a safe job site. Neither the professional activities of HCEA, nor the presence of HCEA’s employees, shall be construed to imply HCEA has any responsibility for the safety of on-site personnel other than HCEA’s employees.

6. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS/RELIANCE Client will furnish HCEA such reports, data, studies, plans, specifications, documents, and other information necessary for proper performance of HCEA’s services. HCEA may rely upon documents provided by the Client or other third parties in performing the services under this contract; however, HCEA will not conduct an independent evaluation of the accuracy or completeness of such information, and shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions contained in such information. Unless requested by the Client, HCEA will retain for its own purposes, the documents provided by the Client. Reports, recommendations, and other materials resulting from HCEA’s services are intended for the sole use of the Client. The Client may provide the reports, recommendations, and other materials generated by HCEA to third parties; however, the contents thereof may not be relied upon by any third party, without the express written consent and authorization of HCEA as to the specific nature, extent and scope of reliance desired for any given third party. Drawings, sketches, reports, and other documents, including those in electronic format, which are prepared by HCEA are Instruments of Service to which HCEA retains the exclusive common law and statutory copyright.

HCEA will retain all pertinent records relating to services performed for a minimum period of three years following submission of a report, during which period the records will be made available to Client at all reasonable times. Normal report distribution is three (3) copies to the Client. There may be a charge if additional report copies are requested, either at the original time of completion of the report or after, to cover the costs of color copies, shipping and labor (e.g., retrieval of archived files, re-assembly of report, copying of report, etc.). The distribution of reports to a party other than the Client does not infer reliance on the report by that third party, unless expressed in writing by HCEA.

7. FAILURE TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDATIONS HCEA will not be held liable for problems that may occur if HCEA’s recommendations are not followed or if HCEA is not requested in writing to provide recommendations. Accordingly, the Client waives any claim against HCEA, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold HCEA harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss, including attorney’s fees, that results from failure to implement HCEA’s recommendations, or from implementation of HCEA’s recommendations in a manner that is not in strict accordance with them, or from the use/reliance of a report which did not include unrequested recommendations. The Client also agrees to compensate HCEA for any time spent and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by HCEA in defense of any such claim, with such compensation to be based upon HCEA’s prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy.
