Construction, Florida Sampling and Testing Methods, AASHTO- and ASTM standards, and other governing documents. RADISE has a proven track record with FDOT of being innovative, transparent, adaptive, and being focused on continuous improvement in routine operations. Drawing on more than 20 years of continuous performance in this capacity for local governments, FDOT and other state agencies, and federal agencies, the RADISE Team offers expert knowledge, skills and experience; and readiness to meet all deadlines and deliver high-quality results in support of the District 4 and 6 Materials program.

1.2. APPROACH IN PROCESSING VERIFICATION SAMPLES:

RADISE recognizes the main objective of verification services is to assure the QC operations, testing, and inspection are consistently performed in accordance with the Contract, and identifying substandard materials and procedures that do not comply with the FDOT specifications. Awareness, knowledge, experience and communication play a vital role in timely resolving such issues. Our verification process emphasizes accuracy, transparency, quality control, and timely communication throughout the entire sample life cycle, ensuring that all verification activities are performed consistently and in accordance with Department requirements. To start with, RADISE will assign the most appropriate laboratory in the vicinity of the project that will minimize the cost and time delays in delivering the samples. Upon receipt of the sample, the lab manager will verify the accuracy of the C-22 documentation and inspect the condition of the sample prior to logging into the quality management system. Laboratory personnel will verify project requirements and test methods before testing begins, ensuring each verification sample is processed accurately and consistently. Upon completion, test results will be reviewed by the testing technician and the lab manager and then entered into MAC without delay. Designated personnel for the project will provide the information and support documentation to the Project Administrator (PA) and the Department as required.

In addition to the laboratory process identified above, our asphalt technicians assigned to the projects will be in constant touch with the project and the Contractor teams to proactively monitor the progress, production issues, and other factors for sharing the Random Number and being present at the plant during QC operations, sampling and testing. RADISE's team of 17 experienced Asphalt Plant Level II Inspectors is well-versed in the verification system implemented by the District and are highly proficient with MAC, including sample login, assigning testing, coordinating sample routing to designated laboratories, and maintaining complete and thorough electronic records. RADISE Contract management team will actively ensure that the reports are available to the project and DMRO team without delay and are error-free. We will pay special attention to the edits and revisions of the records, either demanded for the adjustments or due to erroneous information to ensure we learn from the experience and continually share the learnings with the rest of the team.

When Quality Control (QC) and Verification Testing (VT) results do not compare, RADISE will immediately coordinate with the PA to initiate the Resolution Testing (RT) process, log the Resolution sample in MAC, assemble required documentation, and deliver the samples promptly to the designated Resolution laboratory. Our chain of communication at the Contract level and at the task level will assure we respond quickly to meet deadlines and provide quick, cost-effective results 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

1.3. CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHILE PROVIDING VERIFICATION TESTING:

RADISE recognizes that maintaining the independence and integrity of Verification Testing (VT) is fundamental to the Department's Quality Assurance Program. We are committed to identifying, avoiding, and promptly disclosing any actual or potential Conflict of Interest (COI) throughout this Contract. Every Task Work Order will undergo a formal COI review before assigning RADISE and sub-consultant members. This process verifies that the proposed RADISE team has no conflicting role, financial interest, or contractual responsibility associated with the task.

Upon Task Work Order authorization, the Project Manager will once again review the project staffing, scope, and responsibilities to confirm continued independence and will create and share the project-specific contact list to facilitate effective communication among the Department, Project Administrator, laboratory personnel, and field staff. Recognizing that multiple FDOT projects may be performed concurrently throughout Districts 4 and 6, RADISE will continuously monitor all assignments for potential conflicts involving asphalt, concrete, and earthwork activities. Should potential COI arise, we will immediately notify the Department and implement appropriate staffing adjustments, as approved by the Department to maintain independent verification services and uninterrupted project support.

Contract: 27421/ 27447 | FM: 436279-9-62-01 / 451971-1-62-01 | Page: 3

2. APPROACH TO PROJECT:

2.1. APPRAOCH IN ACHIEVING THE TEST TURNAROUND TIME FOR VERIFICATION SAMPLES:

RADISE has provided FDOT Verification Testing (VT) services for more than 10 years, successfully processing thousands of verification samples while consistently striving for meeting Department requirements for timely testing and reporting. Our team understands the importance of achieving the Department's 95% Test Turnaround Time standard and has established proven procedures, experienced staffing, and technology to ensure compliance. Our laboratory operations are integrated with FDOT's Materials Acceptance and Certification (MAC) system A recent improvement implemented by RADISE would ensure the MAC data entry is achieved within 24 hours. This improvement is the internal goal for RADISE laboratories to report the test results with QA review completed by the Lab Manager within 24 hours. To meet the FDOT turnaround time goal, this process identifies “data entry in the Client’s system”, e.g. MAC as a step immediately after the QA review and prior to the data entry in RADISE’s Quality Management System, Smart Infra-Hub (HUB).

RADISE will ensure all member firms of the RADISE team have similarly prioritized MAC data entry.

RADISE Contract management team will actively track the sample progress, will immediately inform the Department and the project team in case the process is delayed due to the factors beyond RADISE’s control, and develop appropriate plan to avoid future occurrences.

2.2. APPROACH IN HANDLING CONCRETE VERIFICATION SAMPLE FAILURES AT PRESTRESS & PRECAST YARDS:

RADISE has established its corner as a prudent innovation and technology leader in deep foundation engineering, including inspection technologies for prestressed precast pile production and field operations and applied foundation testing. RADISE offers innovative technological solutions like corrosion monitoring sensors, maturity monitoring sensors, and Embedded Data Collector (EDC) sensors.

This experience and leadership have facilitated our inspection staff and engineers with a unique skill of seeking on-demand innovative solutions to improve quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the prestressed and precast operations. Further, our inspectors are trained in partnering with the stakeholders to devise a joint resolution. Because by the time the 28-day compressive strength testing is completed the concrete is hardened, resolution of the hardened concrete demands timely initiation of the resolution procedure. Our lab management team is highly focused on such failures and immediately will notify the project team and the DMRO to coordinate for resolution cylinders.

RADISE concrete inspectors may further coordinate additional investigation efforts with the QC team, DMRO, Engineer of Record (EOR) and the project team as needed, including coring of hardened concrete. The inspectors at the prestressed and Precast plants will additionally, as directed, provide in-depth inspection and resolution oversight as devised by the governing documents and the project team with the key focus on the detailed documentation of the product, directions, actions, and final resolution.

2.3. APPROACH TO COVERING MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS THROUGHOUT D4/D6:

RADISE has a well-established scheduling program. Proactive communication is of paramount importance to ensure effective scheduling of shared resources. We understand the importance of Roving IV program intended to aid in performing IV services at multiple asphalt plants located in proximity in a single schedule. RADISE team is well positioned and equipped to cover all the 20 approved Asphalt Plants. We are experienced and successful in coordinating schedules among multiple plants producing asphalt materials simultaneously.

RADISE will work proactively with the DMRO team in developing cost-effective strategy to cover production schedules at various plants.

We will assign the inspectors on a long-term basis, and the primary contact for the plants for scheduling, which will allow ease of communication between the plant QC personnel, project team and the RADISE inspectors. It will also allow our inspectors to be more familiar with plant-specific unique processes, issues, variability of the production, and performance of the produced mix designs. All these

Contract: 27421/ 27447 | FM: 436279-9-62-01 / 451971-1-62-01 | Page: 4 factors are a key contributor to reducing inspection costs while maintaining highest level of quality, consistency, and effectiveness. With enough redundancy of qualified asphalt plant inspectors and routine review of the project 3-week look-ahead schedule, plant production schedule, and other factors affecting production; our scheduling personnel will quickly identify and manage the situations requiring additional inspectors as well as reducing unnecessary plant visits and hence optimizing the cost-effectively. RADISE team will be well equipped with computers and smart phones allowing them to transfer the reports from remote locations directly into MAC, to the DMRO and project teams prior to leaving the plant. In addition, RADISE team will follow up in the morning with the project team and QC personnel to address their questions or concerns related to previous night production.

3. PROJECT STAFFING

3.1. RESPONSIVENESS & AVAILABILITY IN COVERING ASPHALT PLANTS & PRESTRESS/PRECAST YARDS:

RADISE has assembled a team of more than 22 CTQP qualified Asphalt Plant and Prestress/Precast Yard Inspectors to provide responsive inspection services throughout Districts 4 and 6 on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year basis. This redundancy enables us to rapidly respond to planned assignments, schedule changes, emergency requests, and weekend operations while maintaining uninterrupted project support. Our inspectors will also be the primary contact for the plant and project teams for scheduling communication.

RADISE recognizes that asphalt plant and prestress/precast operations often involve changing production schedules and short-notice requests. Mr. Vijay Vallabhu, Assistant Contract Manager, will serve as the scheduling coordinator and will be in constant touch with the assigned inspectors and/or plants to monitor effective scheduling. He will assign most qualified inspectors based on project requirements, location, qualification and experience demanded by the complexity of the project, and proximity of personnel on other assignments. This streamlined approach ensures efficient communication, timely staffing, and consistent service throughout the Contract.

With staffing redundancy, cross-trained personnel, our team offers more than 50% availability. This allows RADISE to quickly redistribute resources to accommodate fluctuating workloads, concurrent projects to accommodate our team members’ personal needs for time off aiding to their well-being.

In addition, as production demands increase, it allows for additional qualified inspectors and alternate shift assignments to maintain continuous coverage without impacting project schedules. This approach adequately provides the flexibility and responsiveness necessary to support the Department's inspection needs throughout the duration of this Contract.
