ABS Consulting’s expertise focuses on assessing, quantifying, and helping their clients manage low probability, high severity
risk.
ABS Consulting has complete capabilities for structural engineering services, including assessment, design, preparation of
structural construction documents, and construction support and administration for new and existing facilities.
In addition to new building design and building renovation capabilities, ABS Consulting has provided code compliance review for
State of California agencies for over 25 years. We have several ongoing or recent contracts for plan checking services of
hospitals with California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development and schools with California Division of the State
Architect. In addition, we have been retained by California Real Estate Services Division (RESD) to oversee large programs
involving seismic evaluations, renovations and upgrades of existing facilities. ABS Consulting staff is very familiar with the code
requirements and recent changes, and was on the leading edge in the development of interactive OSHPD plan check
procedures, which has helped to reduce the schedule of traditional hospital plan review processes by several months.
1.1.2. ABS Consulting Earthquake and Risk Assessment Services
As organizations are exposed to the financial consequences of natural and manmade risks, most require some form of risk
financing to effectively mitigate against the uncertainty of large consequence, low frequency hazard events such as fire and
explosion, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, hail, flood, storm surge, volcano eruption, ice/winter storm, terrorism, and other
manmade and natural hazards. The use of traditional risk transfer as the primary risk financing approach may not represent the
optimal strategy for all organizations/entities, but the inability to appropriately quantify these risks in total across the enterprise
may prevent these same organizations/entities from taking advantage of a more appropriate strategy aligned with their risk
appetite and financial structure. ABS Consulting has developed state-of-the-art technology, combined with internal expertise in
the risk engineering and quantified risk assessment area, to effectively analyze and quantify the unique risk spectrum for a client
and use this information to develop a more efficient strategy for risk mitigation, management and risk financing.
ABS Consulting is well known for its expertise in evaluating earthquake and other natural and manmade risks to facilities and
pioneered one of the first earthquake risk reduction programs. Information generated from a risk assessment is used to assist
clients in developing long-term risk reduction strategies. These strategies may involve the upgrade and rehabilitation of existing
buildings and equipment, development of improved operating procedures, transferring the risk through insurance, and/or
improved emergency response and business recovery plans. ABS Consulting’s three-phased approach (risk audit,
quantification, and implementation) helps to reduce and manage the risk to facilities in a practical and cost-effective manner,
while addressing customer needs. The approach is logical and practical and considers important aspects, including damage to
structures, equipment and inventory, business interruption costs, and personnel safety.
During an earthquake risk assessment, ABS Consulting engineers survey, evaluate, and inventory critical structures and/or
equipment systems. This entails review of available structural drawings, soil reports, seismological data, and performing site
visits. Structural/seismic deficiencies are summarized and general recommendations can be provided to mitigate discovered
seismic risks.
1.2. Structural Engineering and Risk Mitigation Approach
ABS Consulting has complete capabilities for structural engineering services, including structural assessment, analysis, design,
repair, and preparation of all types of construction documents and construction support. We emphasize the importance of close
coordination between client, design team, contractor, and ABS Consulting team members to develop the most complete
understanding of each project and to achieve successful completion on time and within budget. Through proper planning and
coordination, many of the structures we have renovated were strengthened while permitting near full occupancy and retained
functionality. ABS Consulting senior staff is directly involved in overseeing quality control so project requirements are met to the
satisfaction of our clients.

1.2.1. Codes and Standards
ABS Consulting staff is fully versed in the modern and historic U.S. building codes for new construction and existing buildings:
x New Construction: International Building Code (IBC), Title 24 California Building Code (CBC), Los Angles Building &
Municipal Codes (LABC/LAMC), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7, GSA Standard P100, NEHRP, AWWA, PEI,
USGBC, LEED V4
x Previous and Archaic Building Codes: UBC 1927–1997, IBC, SBC, BOCA
x Material Design Codes with Seismic Requirements: ACI, CRSI, AISC, AWS, NDS, TMS, ASCE, SSINA, RMI, FM, NSF
x Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings and Non-Structural Items: ASCE 41, International Existing Building
Code (IEBC), CBC/LABC Chapter 34, FEMA 350 Series, COLA Tall Buildings Council, COLA Divisions 88 through 95,
GSREB, UCBC, NEHRP, ATC, NIST, California Accidental Release Program (CalARP), FEMA 413-414, Title 24 California
Historical Building Code (CHBC), Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
x Specifications: ASTM, Construction Specifications Institute, SSPWC (Green Book), CRSI
x ICC Evaluation Service Standards: Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP), post-installed concrete anchors, proprietary systems.
To achieve the necessary goals, ABS Consulting employs a full suite of proprietary commercial software related to structure and
foundation elastic and non-linear finite element analyses (SAP2000, ETABS, PERFORM-3D, RISA), 3D-modeling (Revit),
material-specific structural component design, as well as an extensive array of proprietary in-house developed ABS Consulting
design tools and analysis methodologies.
1.2.2. Preliminary Structural Screening Assessments
ABS Consulting has a long-standing reputation for being a world-leading provider of professional structural engineering
evaluation services. Our services have included a full-range of diverse clients and industries, and covered a broad range
potential pre-and post-hazard analyses and damage investigations.
Preliminary structural assessments usually involve one of the following: assessing the risk of natural and manmade hazards
(earthquake, wind, flood, storm surge, volcano, geologic, blast, terrorist, fire, etc.), damage investigations, and potential
construction deficiencies. Besides providing superior client support, our deliverable for preliminary structural assessments
usually includes either a brief letter report or detailed report of noted deficiencies, including drafted engineering sketches, and
plans of the area of interest. In some cases, brief supplemental calculations or models may be necessary. Depending on the
level of assessment, multiple concepts for anticipated structural remediation work can be considered, where applicable or
requested.
Seismic hazard assessments are one of the mainstays of our professional services. For preliminary seismic screening
evaluations, ABS Consulting’s engineers typically use one of the following basic methodologies:
1. For older structures, an engineering-based approach typically based on the ASCE 41 Tier 1 Seismic Screening
Methodology and Checklists. The ASCE 41 screening checklist methodology includes a review of available building
information, a site visit and condition assessment, and assessment of geologic hazards. The checklist screening
methodology is a great and cost-effective first-step, and works well for single building assessments. However, since it only
gives pass-fail data, it cannot effectively characterize expected structural and non-structural seismic performance without
further structural analysis. Also, where structural information is limited, it can be difficult to effectively implement.
2. For newer structures, the engineering-based seismic evaluation approach may use either the ASCE 41 Tier 1 screening
methodology, or may use the new-design analysis methodology of ASCE 7 as modified by the local Building Code if
deemed preferable.
3. Probabilistic modeling approaches, including probable maximum loss (PML) studies, and in some cases HAZUS analyses.
These methodologies work particularly well for portfolios of multiple structural assets having defined asset valuations and
structure types, and are the current standard of the insurance and risk management industries for determining seismic risk.
ABS Consulting is a world-recognized leader for these services and uses RQE (Risk Quantification Engineering), a
proprietary loss modeling software package now developed by CoreLogic, Inc (previously developed by the EQECAT, Inc.,
division of ABS Group).

4. A combination of the above methodologies. By combining the more detailed information gathered for each asset (or for
representative assets) from the Tier 1 Screening (Items 1 and 2), and adjusting the damage fragility properties used in the
probabilistic loss modeling (Item 3), superior seismic performance and loss data can be model can be established. The
seismic loss data can also be overlaid with probabilistic geologic, wind, and flood hazard risks if desired. This is often
ABS Consulting’s recommended approach for the case where multiple assets are involved.
In addition to the structural aspects of the building system, aspects of the site geology such as liquefaction potential in saturated
sands, slope stability for hillside structures, earth loading, tsunami risk, and other geotechnical hazards, as well as the
earthquake resistance of equipment, may need to be evaluated.
1.2.3. Detailed Structural Assessments
ABS Consulting can perform detailed evaluations to analyze all structural seismic
and other deficiencies in facilities, or that are necessary to justify proposed additions
or floor loading load increases. We can also perform structural evaluations of
non-structural items (anchorage of pipes, equipment, ceilings, etc.), as related to
seismic anchorage and ruggedness, or vibratory effects, if requested by our clients.
A significant early step in a detailed assessment consists of data gathering in regard
to existing conditions and defects, the history of previously conducted repairs, and
existing material conditions and strengths. It is very important to identify existing conditions, which may affect the analysis
findings. ABS Consulting believes in conducting a thorough investigation of an existing structure to identify areas of damage or
deterioration, plus a carefully designed program to assess existing material strengths, where more highly stressed areas are
examined more closely, while lesser-stressed areas are not examined in as much detail.
Gravity framing analysis (for dead and live loads with or without impact) is often performed using spreadsheet calculations,
although in some cases where framing is continuous, a linear static computer model can be used. Where modifications to the
structure’s gravity framing (or vertical force resisting system) are proposed, it is generally required to comply with the
requirements of the current building code in the affected area. In some cases, modification work, especially changes in
occupancy or the addition of heavy equipment or utility lines, may also trigger a full seismic upgrade of the facility.
Material sampling and specimen testing and concrete penetrating radar scanning is usually necessary to evaluate existing
buildings, especially for concrete or masonry structures; ABS Consulting has ongoing contracts with testing laboratories for these
services. Where construction documents or drawings are unavailable or extremely limited, a field survey of the structure to
establish the gravity and wind/seismic force resisting system will be necessary. In addition, ABS Consulting has in-house laser
scanning capability to create a three-dimensional data cloud of the building, open structures and piping, and for the vicinity of a
building site.
1.2.4. Detailed Seismic Analysis and Design
Depending on the structural system, detailed seismic assessments may be performed per the detailed criteria presented in either
ASCE 7 for new or modern buildings, or ASCE 41 for older existing buildings. Where using the ASCE 41 Standard, and
depending on the level of refinement needed, either the TIER 2 Deficiency-Based Procedure or the TIER 3 Systematic (detailed)
Evaluation Procedure may apply. These standards present several analysis approaches, which are selected based on the size
and type of structure evaluated, and are suitable for both new and existing buildings.
For detailed analysis, conceptual design drawings for a retrofit scheme and/or alternative schemes will be provided in sufficient
detail for cost estimating and for decision-making. Where requested as a part of the scope of work, ABS Consulting can provide
rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimating services.

1.2.5. New Design
ABS Consulting was the lead designer on several interesting new design projects
successfully completed during the last several years. Examples of new design
projects include a steel hillside pedestrian bridge, a concrete pedestrian bridge, a
three-story tilt-up office building, a 27-bed rehabilitation hospital, multiple pipe racks,
and the base isolation system and seismic framing design for the phased
expansions of a 1,257,000-square-foot LEED-Gold-certified semiconductor
manufacturing facility. It should be noted that the majority of these facilities were
designed for the Immediate Occupancy (IO) level of seismic performance. For one
of these projects, ABS Consulting developed saturated volcanic ash loading criteria for the design of the roof and evaluated other
volcanic hazards following a potential volcanic eruption.
The design approach for new facilities is
slightly different than for existing facilities. In
new design, the work is usually broken into
conceptual design, design development, and
construction documents phases so that the
different design disciplines (architectural;
structural; geotechnical; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing [MEP]; etc.) can coordinate the work. An architect typically leads
new design activities, since the work is usually architecturally controlled and driven. Given that, new structures are “green field”
projects, their structural systems are generally simpler to engineer than existing buildings. New buildings tend to have dramatic
architectural features, which poses some significant structural challenges. The overall cost effectiveness of the structural system
is related to the skill and experience of the Architect and the Structural Engineer.
1.2.6. Foundation Evaluation and Design
As a part of the structural design, an analysis of the supporting foundation capacity is necessary.
This evaluation addresses items such as increased soil pressures due to added dead or live loads,
seismic overturning loads, liquefaction potential in saturated sands, slope stability for hillside
structures, and other geotechnical hazards. In addition, long-term settlements and settlements due
to earthquake shaking or crude extraction, as well as soil expansion, can create structural issues.
ABS Consulting has addressed geotechnical hazards and deficiencies using methodologies such as
underpinning footings, widening footings, adding structural components like drilled piers, micro-piles,
soil anchor rods, or helical anchors, and stabilizing the soil for strength increase and volume change using grout injection.
Often, the necessary soil strength information for foundation design is already available, and in that case ABS Consulting will
utilize existing geotechnical reports. Where foundation reports are unavailable or if a time-history analysis will be performed, or
where excessive settlements are being manifested, a soils report or seismic hazard evaluation will be required. Soil properties
and seismic response of site soils are usually developed through data taken from borings or cone penetration, although other
less evasive methods such as Refraction Microtremor (ReMi) are available. ABS Consulting will notify the Client if a
geotechnical report is required (prepared by others) so the design can be completed.
1.2.7. Preparation of Construction Documents
Following design development of a suitable structural system or retrofit and completion of the design
calculations, the ABS Consulting team can prepare construction documents. Having “detailed”
numerous new and existing structures, historical buildings, and equipment restraint systems, ABS
Consulting has the necessary expertise to prepare construction drawings and design specifications
(book specifications) for any size project. All structural calculations, Construction Drawings, and
design specifications are stamped and signed by a Registered Structural Engineer (S.E.) licensed in
the State of California, or with other state licensure as needed.
As with the majority of A/E professionals in the profession, working drawings are created in AutoCAD
format, or most current release. Where required by the Client, ABS Consulting can convert the final
drawings to MicroStation format, or as specified. Following the schematic and design development
phases, the construction drawings are prepared for issuance as a final coordination and client review set, then to a local
Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Capital Improvement Program Project Management and Engineering
Services – Design Engineering Services
RFP No. CLQ041919 May 13, 2019
6
governing authority for approval and ultimately for bidding and construction. Depending on the project size, design specifications
for building and equipment can be issued as separate book specifications or incorporated into the construction drawings as
General Notes.
1.2.8. Construction Support (Construction Administration)
ABS Consulting normally provides construction support on our projects. This support generally
consists of onsite construction structural observation visits, shop drawing or material submittal
reviews, field requests for information (RFI) and submittal reviews, and preparation of final
as-built drawings based on contractor records or mark-ups. Site visits are especially important
during the retrofit of older existing buildings, where the actual configurations can differ
significantly from the expected conditions.
ABS Consulting also maintains qualified Program and Construction Management staff that
provide PM/CM services for some clients in the form of reviews of contractor payment requests, change order cost estimates,
and construction scheduling development.
1.2.9. Plan Checking and Peer Review Services
ABS Consulting has provided code compliance review, for several State of California agencies for over 30 years. We have had
numerous contracts for plan checking services of hospitals for OSHPD, K–12 schools for DSA, and for several universities. In
addition, we have been retained by RESD to oversee large programs involving seismic evaluations, renovations, and upgrades
of existing facilities. ABS Consulting staff is very familiar with the code requirements and recent changes.
ABS Consulting has performed a thorough structural peer review for a wide variety of structures, including a supplemental
viscous damping system for Office Buildings 8 and 9 (State of California RESD), two new semiconductor facilities, the historic
retrofit of the Mission San Juan Capistrano, a chemical storage building, and a 220-foot-tall calciner tower, to name a few.
1.2.10. Damage Assessments, Post-Earthquake Damage Assessments
ABS Consulting staff has performed numerous assessments for a range of damages including
foundation settlement, material deterioration, earthquake damage, tsunami damage, wind damage, floor
and roof overload, split wood framing and delaminated glulam beams, rusted hanger hardware,
damaged columns, dry rot, bent steel columns and braces, fractured welds, cracked and fire-damaged
concrete and masonry, spalling concrete, etc. We have developed an internal company procedure for
investigating and documenting the extent of damage using random numerical assignment to determine if
damage is likely to be widespread or localized. We have used this procedure to evaluate numerous
tilt-up wall, non-ductile concrete, steel framed, pre-Northridge steel moment frame, wood-framed, and
other structures for structural damage from multiple sources both locally and around the world.
1.2.11. Equipment and Non-Structural Items
ABS Consulting has extensive experience in assessing the vulnerability of non-structural items to
wind and earthquake related damage, and preparing strengthening programs to properly
anchor/brace these items. Our engineers have designed and analyzed equipment and utility
intensive facilities such as emergency power generating facilities, power generating stations,
water treatment facilities, food and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, data centers, cement
and petrochemical plants, open towers, storage and support racks, and nuclear facilities. As a
result, we have developed a highly effective process to identify equipment items, perform the
necessary analysis, identify deficient anchorage, prepare the necessary strengthening details and
present the work on a clear set of strengthening drawings.
Equipment systems are often anchored to concrete floor or structural elements in the building or to separate concrete equipment
pads. These anchorages have been found to be inadequate to resist the necessary seismic forces, especially in regard to
concrete edge distances. Recently, the structural engineering profession has made significant changes in regard to the
accepted practices for designing anchorage to concrete, especially in regions of concrete elements with the potential for normal
Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Capital Improvement Program Project Management and Engineering
Services – Design Engineering Services

7
service cracking. As a result, some existing properly designed non-structural concrete anchorages may be deficient by a factor
of 1.3, or even higher based on the current codes. ABS Consulting’s engineers understand the current ACI 318 Appendix D
and ACI 355.1 design requirements for post-installed anchors, as well as the current ICC ER approvals.
ABS Consulting is an industry leader in the assessment of non-structural items such as building support machinery and
equipment, manufacturing machinery and equipment, piping, cladding, and curtain walls for important or high-risk facilities
including hospitals, petrochemical facilities, utility plants, pharmaceutical plants, data centers and laboratory clean room
environments. Our engineers regular analyze vessels containing hazardous materials and design back-up secondary
containment precautions to the latest standards, such as CalARP. ABS Consulting also has the capabilities to use dynamic
computer analysis to correctly understand the dynamic structural interaction of vessels, boilers, and other large equipment with
the tower and rack structures that support them.
1.2.12. Blast Studies
ABS Consulting has extensive in-house capability to assess building envelope (glazing and
cladding), as well as structural framing “progressive collapse potential” when subjected to
explosions, such as vehicle-borne or person borne IEDs. We have provided blast study services
and developed mitigation for multiple national, state, and local government and courts facilities
throughout the U.S. and around the world, and maintain a blast test facility in San Antonio, Texas.
1.2.13. Program and Construction Management
ABS Consulting provides Program Management and Construction Management services. ABS Consulting’s PM/CM experience
has ranged from simply coordinating and supervising the preparation of construction bid documents, to completely undertaking
all project management and construction field-management responsibilities on behalf of the Owner. We have provided the
following program and construction management services on a variety of projects:
x Project Management of Planning and Design Tasks
x Coordination and Supervision of Preparation of Construction Documents
x Preparation of Engineering Cost Estimates
x Preparation of Construction Phasing Plans
x Preparation of Construction Bid Packages
x Evaluation of General Contractor Bids and Recommendation of General Contractors
x Construction Management, Including Daily Inspections and Reviewing and Resolving RFIs
x Construction Change Orders and Shop Drawings, Reviewing and Approving Contractor Applications for Payment
x Public Funding Requirement Verification
x Project Close-Out Activities Involving Resolution of Punch Lists and Approval of Final Payment to Contractors
ABS Consulting has individuals especially qualified to manage the design and construction of new and renovation projects based
on its recent performance on similar new, restoration, retrofit and renovation projects performed for both private and public sector
clients. From these projects, ABS Consulting has the experience to address any of the issues normally encountered on
construction projects like this. In particular, the ABS Consulting has valuable Construction Management experience in the
following areas:
x Experience providing not only Construction Management services but also Project Team Design Management
services.
x Our public building clients include every major public agency in Orange County (County of Orange, Orange County
Transportation Authority, Orange County Fire Authority, and Orange County Water District, Metropolitan Water District)
and numerous cities throughout Southern California (Cities of Anaheim, Orange, Placentia, San Clemente, Rancho
Cucamonga, Upland, Riverside, etc.).

the design consultant and the contractor. On more traditional projects, our understanding contributes to a successful
transition between the design and construction phases, maximizing efficiency and productivity during construction.
ABS Consulting has performed extremely well on its PM/CM projects, as witnessed by the confidence in our clients. While we
have a substantial component of single-source return business, many of our projects are won competitively, indicating our
abilities to provide capable, economical Program and Construction Management services.
1.2.14. Design Schedule and Cost Concerns
ABS Consulting takes pride in developing cost effective structural solutions that match the need of a project, using compatible
systems and materials. The final design depends on the building use, type of work and structural configuration, the magnitude of
design wind, gravity, and seismic forces, whether the project is a new design or a retrofit design of an existing structure. There
may also be architectural requirements, egress and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) concerns, and constructability
requirements or material availability issues that will dictate the configuration and type of structural materials that can be utilized.
Scheduling and budgetary requirements for retrofit of existing buildings, such as historic structures, can be difficult to estimate
with minimal information. As a result, ABS Consulting recommends a three phase structural evaluation and strengthening
program. The three phases include Phase I – Preliminary Evaluation, Phase II – Detailed Structural Evaluation, and
Phase III – Construction Documents Phase. After each phase, more information on the necessary strengthening
requirements can be determined such that schedule and budgetary needs for design and construction can be estimated and
refined.
Consideration of more than one structural solution is normal during the preliminary and detailed structural evaluation phases. A
rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimate (for decision-making purposes) can be prepared for each alternative solution.
ABS Consulting has internal cost estimating capabilities, and we can also retain local firms to assist in the development of cost
estimates for our clients, if required by the scope of work. In addition, we often work with qualified local contractors to help assist
us with construction cost development. Based on that information, the owner and design team can select the most appropriate
structural alternative for final design based on schedule, funding, operations, and design criteria.
1.2.15. Project Management Approach
ABS Consulting utilizes a Project Control Schedule System (PCS) to track and monitor project progress through its various
stages. The PCS is a simple but powerful project management tool. Through the use of Task-Subtask-Activity designations,
every task to be performed is listed and assigned a budget and schedule. Budget performance status is checked on a weekly
basis, when individual labor-hours against each activity are totaled and compared with budgeted amounts. In addition, the actual
percent completed can be compared to the percent of budget expended; that is, earned budget can be compared to actual
expenditures. This is very useful for rapidly determining if there is a problem associated with a particular task, and implementing
early corrective measures.
In addition, ABS Consulting uses an effective in-house Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedure. This procedure is
in a corporate manual, developed by senior management, to ensure the professional delivery of accurate design documents on
time and within budget. The ABS Consulting QA/QC procedure includes three essential elements:
1. Thorough check of documents by the Project Manager and selective review by the QA/QC Manager for completeness,
accuracy, and adherence to client standards.

2. Overall QA/QC coordination of all information provided by the ABS Consulting design team, and any subconsultants, to
ensure coordination, consistency, and adherence to project criteria.
3. Implementation of these procedures at all pertinent stages of the project.
1.2.16. Project Staffing Capabilities
ABS Consulting maintains a staff of highly experienced Structural Engineering and Project/Construction Management
specialists. In addition, we manage multiple ISO 9001 approved Subconsultant Contracts for a wide range of technical
disciplines normally encountered. We commit senior level staff in conjunction with middle level staff to provide our clients with
outstanding experience and expertise, balanced with cost effectiveness. Our flexible staff resources allow us to assure superior
staffing throughout the duration of this engagement to insure that a quality work product consistent with the desired goals is
completed on time and within budget.
