HWA will also meet with the City and/or design team to present our findings and discuss alternatives (1 kickoff and up to 2 virtual coordination meetings).  Project and Contract Management: HWA will prepare monthly invoices, and progress reports. We will correspond with the design team in the form of emails, and telephone calls, as necessary. We will provide project management for our engineering subtasks, and we will coordinate with and manage all our subcontractors.  Review Available Geotechnical Information: Upon notice to proceed, HWA will review available geotechnical information from and in the vicinity of the project site to improve our understanding of the local geological conditions at the site and surrounding areas. This will include a review of geologic maps, HWA’s library of geotechnical information in the area, and data from online databases.  Site Reconnaissance and Utility Locates: HWA will conduct a site reconnaissance of the project site. This reconnaissance will be used to identify geotechnical challenges at the proposed improvements and to assist in planning the geotechnical exploration program. During the site reconnaissance, HWA will mark pavement core locations with white paint and notify the one-call utility service. An additional site visit will be performed to verify if the proposed locations of the pavement cores are clear of utilities prior to mobilizing our equipment.  Plan and Coordinate Subsurface Exploration Program: HWA will plan and coordinate the geotechnical exploration program. We propose to conduct up to four (4) pavement cores at the site. Hang auger borings and Dropweight Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing will be advanced to identify subgrade soil and groundwater conditions in the vicinity of the bus platform. Our understanding is that explorations are to be located within the parking stalls of the existing parking lot or landscape areas where possible. Traffic control and street use permits are not anticipated to be required.  Generate Geotechnical Subsurface Exploration Plan (SEP): HWA will prepare a geotechnical SEP for the proposed work. The SEP will detail the type, location, and extent of proposed field explorations along with logistics necessary to perform the work such as work zones and staging areas. The work plan will also be used for utility locating clearances and permitting that may be necessary to access the exploration locations. The SEP will be submitted to the City for review and approval. We assume the City, in support of this project, will acquire and provide any required permits or rights of entry at no cost to HWA.  Conduct Pavement Cores: Up to four (4), 6-inch diameter pavement cores will be conducted within the existing pavement to identify existing pavement thickness and subgrade conditions. DCP testing and hand auger borings will be
