Bid Information
We gather essential documents that our clients need to prepare detailed requests for proposals (RFPs). Clear RFPs supported with relevant bid materials help project owners to identify qualified bidders, carefully study bids, compare submissions effectively, and ultimately select the “right” contractor for the job.
Bid information generated by GLA includes:
- Project scope
- Project requirements
- Project specifications
- Construction documents
- Bid forms
- Regulatory requirements
Bidding Assistance
Our team of specialists provides the highest standard of service to meet our clients’ diverse needs, including supporting:
- Bid solicitation, instructions, evaluation assistance, and administration
- Preparation and review of project manuals
- General conditions and technical specifications
- Conducting pre-bid meetings
- Project scheduling and coordination
- Engineer’s construction cost estimates
- CQA plan preparation
Building Inspection
Our inspection services go well beyond rudimentary structural, utility, HVAC, plumbing, and project specification assessments to provide specialized information, such as:
- Fee schedule alternatives that consider fairest and best use of funding for builders, developers, and municipalities
- Evaluation of projects against blueprints, specifications, and criteria that monitor the quality of projects under development in the community
- Ensuring that codes, zoning regulations, statutes, and ordinances are strictly enforced

Construction Quality Assurance
Our staff have provided daily observation, testing, and documentation for thousands of facilities, including mines, earthen embankments, liquid containment structures, landfills, commercial developments, and industrial processing facilities. Our CQA expertise includes the following materials:
- Soil and rock
- Low hydraulic conductivity soil liners
- Drainage media (geocomposites) and geosynthetic clay liners (GCL)
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes, geotextiles, and geogrids
- Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) geomembranes
- Chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE – Hypalon) geomembranes
- Other construction materials
Dam Inspections
Inspection is a key element of any dam safety program. Our engineers have proven expertise and experience in dam inspection. Our services include:
- Chapter 31 and NR 333 compliance
- Dam failure analysis
- Dam permitting
- Inspection, operation, and maintenance plans (IOMPs)
- Emergency action plans (EAPs)
- Dam rehabilitation design
- Grant application assistance
Grants and Funding
We excel at identifying the right funding sources for your project and can assist your community in acquiring those funds. We research and pursue state and federal funding opportunities such as:
- Community Development Block Grants
- Clean Water Fund and Safe Drinking Water Loan Programs
- Municipal dam and flood control grants
- Road improvement and surface transportation programs
- Rural development grant and loan programs

Electric Liner Leak (ELL) Detection
GLA has leak detection experience on over 177 million square feet of composite liner systems, comprising over 4,000 acres of new and existing geomembrane installations. Our leak detection surveys have saved clients substantial time and money by detecting seaming deficiencies, punctures, cracks, cuts, tears, or other potential sources of leaks in installed containment systems. We perform:
- Bare geomembrane surveys
- Water puddle method (ASTM D7002)
- Arc testing method (ASTM D7953)
- Spark testing method (ASTM D7240, conductive geomembrane)
- Covered geomembrane surveys
- Dipole method with earth as cover material (ASTM D7007)
- Dipole method with water as cover material (ASTM D7007)
- Dipole method (mapping leaks, ASTM D8265)
Laboratory Testing
GLA uses the most up-to-date testing standards available and provides rapid, cost-effective testing services for our clients. We maintain a full complement of field-testing equipment for:
- CQA testing (composite liner and cover systems)
- Groundwater and wastewater sampling
- Aquifer testing
- Geophysical testing
- Soil and Construction Materials Testing
Among our geotechnical laboratories, we provide standard and specialized testing, including:
- Soil classification
- Moisture-density relationships
- Soil shear strength (direct and triaxial)
- Hydraulic conductivity
- Geosynthetics and interface
- Concrete, masonry, mortar, and grout
- Asphaltic concrete tests
- Materials assessment

Municipal Inspection
Our skilled construction professionals ensure that clients’ projects meet the community’s requirements and deliver on promises made in the planning and design phases. We perform:
- Erosion control management
- Site plan compliance
- Stormwater drainage monitoring throughout construction
- Post-construction inspection and follow-up
Special Inspection Services
With decades of experience, we are adept at conducting a range of special inspections for diverse construction projects. Our services are for dams, reservoirs, foundations, groundwater mitigation projects, retaining walls, man-made and native slopes, and active landslides. Our services include:
- Inclinometers and tilt meters
- Vibrating wire piezometers
- Anchor pull testing
- Bolt torque verification
- Concrete sampling and strength testing
- Epoxy installation
- Assessing placement and quality of reinforcing steel, post-tension tendons, grout, mortar, and shear nailing
