Q&A 2

RFI: 69056720Q00005

Q1. Will we be able to install slope inclinometers at the base of the LS and monitor these for a winter period to determine the failure surface and geometry of the slides? The slope inclinometers/monitoring are a “bullet proof” approach for evaluating LS. It does take additional time.

A1. Inclinometer casing will be installed in the boring locations shown in the table of borings.

Any additional items outside of the statement of work is not authorized.

Q2. On the SOW for this project, on page 4, it basically says the driller is to provide the vwp’s & data loggers. On page 10, it says the COR will furnish these items. Can you clarify?

A2. Page 4 is correct, the Contractor will supply all VWP’s and data loggers.

Q3. Would the geotechnical engineer or geologist providing drilling inspection require licensure in the state of Oregon.

A3. No.

Q4. The qualifications specify four years of experience logging large landslides on the west side of the Pacific Northwest Cascade Mountains. Would you accept four years experience logging large landslides in other area aside from the west of the Pacific Northwest Cascade Mountains?

A4. Experience logging large landslides in other areas will be considered but will require documentation showing experience logging similar geotechnical materials, depths to slip planes, and identification of nested landslides using similar drilling methods as required for this project. Documentation requires a minimum of five different projects to be reviewed including Field logs, gINT logs and in-depth geotechnical/geological reports discussing each project.

Experience logging large landslides on the west side of the Pacific Northwest Cascade Mountains is preferred.
