PART III

GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING SCOPE OF WORK

Project Name: CO NP ROMO 10(98) – Trail Ridge Geotechnical Investigation

I. Introduction

This scope of work (SOW) is to perform geotechnical drilling to determine depth to bedrock and to locate potential permafrost and groundwater at two sites along Trail Ridge Road (U.S. 34) in Rocky Mountain National Park. Trail Ridge Road is maintained and managed by National Park Service (NPS) staff.

Project Locations and Descriptions: The Federal Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFL), in partnership with the National Park Service, is investigating the causes of recurring pavement settlement, cracking, and slope movement at two sites on Trail Ridge Road. The two sites are labeled as High Point Slump and the Switchback Walls. To inform the appropriate design and construction scope to address these problems, additional subsurface information is desired.

Approximate Site Coordinates: 40.430194°, -105.760347° (High Point Slump) and 40.407436°, -105.838419° (Switchback Walls)

Figure 1: Project Vicinity Map

Figure 2: NPS Map (focused view with starred locations)

II. Work Required

All investigations outlined in this section will be required to align with environmental compliance as identified by the NPS. Drilling for both sites will take place within the existing roadway or shoulder and will be accessible by a truck-mounted rig or track mounted rig with rubber tracks. Sonic drilling will be utilized to advance through overburden soils due to the anticipated presence of oversized particles and in accordance with NPS request. If bedrock is encountered, HQ3 wireline coring will be required to advance a minimum of 10 feet into bedrock. Inclinometers, piezometers, and one thermistor will be installed in select boreholes.

Geophysical investigations scheduled for early July 2026 will optimize borehole placement and target depths while mitigating hazards. Consequently, these findings are expected to streamline and reduce the advanced drilling scope outlined below.

Scope of Work: This scope of work (SOW) is to perform geotechnical drilling to determine the depth to bedrock and locate potential permafrost and groundwater at two sites along Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park. This includes drilling and collecting soil and rock samples at the identified areas. Exact locations and extents will be provided in the field by CFL.

A summary of background information is shown in Table 1 below and photos of the existing High Point Slump and Switchback Walls sites can be seen in Figure 3 and 4.

Table 1: Background Information

SITE TYPE OF GEOTECHNICAL FAILURE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF FAILURE

High Point Slump

Recurring roadway settlement and cracking over a roughly 600-foot-long section.

Severe roadway undulations.

Unconsolidated sediments and soils, namely fine-grained (clay and silt)

Groundwater fluctuations; seeps/springs Water infiltration and related erosion Thawing permafrost Traffic vibrations Mapped fault zone intersecting Trail Ridge Road near the area of highest subsidence (series of isolated rollercoaster-esque bumps)

Snowplow practices

Switchback Walls

Multi-tiered retaining wall system that has failed in several locations and is experiencing slow, steady, slope movement, a.k.a. creep.

Most noticeable are two failed sections of stone masonry wall that resulted in stones being forced out of position and released onto the roadway shoulder.

Water [primary failure cause]

- Subsurface water- seepage, saturated slope (soft/muddy areas), and signs of artesian water pressure; current weep holes may not be performing properly

- Surface water- blocked culverts, drainage structures discharging onto slopes, ponding water, etc.

Shallow (rill) erosion, removal of materials that provide resistance; evident by naturally established debris channels, debris in ditches Slope angle and height; 1.25H:1V to 1H:1V (steep to very steep), roughly 100 feet elevation gain/loss, roughly 350 to 375 feet long between roadway switchbacks (via Google Earth measurements) Soil type

- Parent material- colluvium and/or till derived from granite and/or gneiss and/or schist

- Estimated profile- plant material, gravelly sandy loam, cobbly sandy loam, gravelly coarse sandy loam, lithic bedrock (unweathered/weathered)

- Loose, unconsolidated, sediments and soils, namely fine-grained

- Cobbles, stones, boulders intermixed Triggering mechanisms; i.e., intense rainfall, rapid snowmelt, water level changes, and general climate change considerations Lack of appropriate ground support (anchors/nails could help) Seasonal creep movement caused by seasonal freezing and thawing/wetting and drilling Maintenance/human activity related issues, i.e., plugged culverts, snow plowing activities (sidecasting and dumping snow onto potentially unstable slopes), traffic vibrations

NOTES:

(1) Several challenges exist within the roadway corridor given the high elevation and alpine tundra environment including steep, variable, and geologically unstable terrain.

(2) Trail Ridge Road is a two-lane, roughly 22-foot wide, paved highway designed to accommodate heavy tourist traffic and has no shoulders or guardrails in many high-altitude sections.

Figure 3: High Point Slump conditions

Figure 4: Switchback Walls conditions

Four boreholes are proposed for the High Point Slump with a focus on the isolated section of “rollercoaster bumps.” Estimated locations of the proposed boreholes are presented in Table 2 and Figure 5. One borehole labeled SI26-01 will be instrumented with an inclinometer and a thermistor, and another adjacent borehole labeled MW26-02 will be instrumented with a piezometer. Boreholes MW26-01 and MW26-03 will also be instrumented with piezometers. All borings at the High Point Slump site will be drilled to a total depth of 90 to 100 feet with 10 feet of rock coring total.

Six borings are proposed for the Switchback Walls: two placed on the upper switchback, two on the middle switchback, and two on the lower switchback. Estimated locations of the proposed borings are presented in Table 3 and Figure 6. Borings will be instrumented with inclinometers and piezometers. All borings for the Switchback Walls site will be drilled to a total depth 140 (inclinometers) to 50 feet (piezometers) with 30 feet of rock coring total.

Figure 6: Switchback Walls Approximate Borehole Locations

Note: All borings will be advanced in the existing roadway despite spatial placement as depicted in the figure above.

Anticipated Soil Conditions: Overburden materials likely include gravelly slope alluvium and/or residuum weathered from granite, gneiss, or schist. Boulders and cobbles could be intermixed. Geologic layers include biotite schist, rhyolite, welded tuff, talus, till, volcanic and sedimentary rocks, and landslide deposits. Of particular geologic note, there is a fault zone that cuts directly through the “rollercoaster bumps” area of the High Point Slump. Maps and descriptions of geology in the project vicinity are presented in Figures 7 and 8.

Figure 7: High Point Slump Geology Map and Legend.

Figure 8: Switchback Walls Geology Map and Legend.

Drill Rig Accessibility: Drilling will take place within the existing roadway and will be accessible by a standard truck-mounted rig or track mounted rig. If a track mounted rig is proposed, then the tracks must be rubber to not cause pavement damage. All equipment must remain on established roadways. The drill rig may be left overnight at a to-be-determined staging area as proposed by the Park and should be amply secured to prevent theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access.

Traffic Control: Traffic Control is anticipated to require one Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) and two flaggers for the lane closure. If the driller or traffic control team require a portable bathroom, it must be included in the drilling bid costs. Acquisition of these services and coordination between the drilling operations and traffic control and sanitation will be the responsibility of the drilling contractor.

Water Access: The National Park has the capacity to supply a few thousand gallons of water for drilling operations. The Park has requested a few weeks’ notice be provided prior to any water withdrawn (coordinate with FHWA). Water will be available at the west NPS headquarters. If water from the NPS is not elected/unable to be used, water must be procured off site and is the responsibility of the contractor.

Cleanliness of Site and Environmental Impact: Rocky Mountain National Park has high ecological, physical and regulatory sensitivity. The high-altitude tundra and alpine lakes are highly vulnerable to airborne pollutants and visitor trampling. It is the responsibility of the driller to collect and dispose of any drilling mud or slurry. It is allowable to backfill the completed borings with cuttings from drilling. It may be prudent to bring bags of bentonite, or similar material, if insufficient drill cuttings are produced to completely backfill the borings. It is imperative that any cement-bentonite grout or drilling lubricant be contained within a five-foot radius of the drilling location. Additionally, no material shall be washed or otherwise be allowed to enter the adjacent waters or any other area (upland) where it has the potential to migrate off-site. All contractors working on public lands will follow the applicable agency’s rules and guidelines pertaining to environment and cleanliness.

Utility Locates: Trail Ridge Road does not have continuous underground utilities spanning its alpine route over the Continental Divide.

Borings and Sampling: A combination of Sonic and HQ3 core drilling will be used for the subsurface exploration. Planned sample frequency will be every five (5) feet, with potential to vary at depth, using an SPT sampler provided by the contractor. SPT sampling will be performed in accordance with ASTM D 1586 and D 1586 M. If an obstruction, such as a boulder, is located at the five-foot interval and the sampler refuses to advance, drilling will commence, and a sample will be taken as soon as the hole passes the obstruction. Photos will be taken of all drive samples and sonic drilling samples. Soil samples will be sealed and labeled in 1-gallon plastic bags. The geotechnical drill will use a calibrated automatic trip hammer to drive the samples.

Hammer calibration must be within 1 year of the date drilling is performed, and a hammer calibration report is requested to be provided to FHWA prior to drilling. Grab samples will be collected if significant changes in the subsurface are noted between drive samples. Core drilling will use HQ3 wireline tooling with the ability to advance through gravels, cobbles, and boulder overburden, as well as bedrock. Photos will be taken of all core samples while wet. Core samples will be stored in core boxes and labeled with borehole number, depths, and date. Provide and be prepared with sufficient diamond bits, casing shoes, reaming shells, core boxes, core blocks (or a hand saw and lumber) and an extra inner core barrel on site. The drilling contractor will provide 5-gallon buckets with lids for shipping samples, and core boxes. FHWA will assist in coordinating an area to stage the drill rig overnight if needed.

Miscellaneous and Scheduling: Bathrooms are available at the Alpine Visitor Center. FHWA will provide personnel on-site to determine the boring locations and depths, log the borings, and collect samples. Drilling must require a strict, standardized “stop-work” procedure during extreme weather events to secure the rig, protect the crew, and stabilize the open borehole. Work is anticipated to take place in late August or early September 2026 as agreed upon by the FHWA and the drilling contractor. Drilling may not take place on Fridays or the weekends.

Laboratory Testing Program: Soil and rock samples collected from the investigation will be transported to the CFLHD Materials Laboratory in Lakewood, CO for index and geotechnical engineering property testing. Anticipated testing includes:

• Index testing on all material types encountered in all borings (sieve analysis, Atterberg limits, moisture content, USCS & AASHTO classification)

• Corrosivity of soils testing on representative samples

• Unconfined compressive strength of bedrock

Additional mitigations required by the Park include:

• Vegetation - Weed/Seed Free: All contractor equipment and hauling trailers must be inspected by Park staff before entry and reentry into the park. Equipment must be fully clean of debris (mud, weed seeds, etc.) to pass inspection.

• Visitor Use & Experience - Communication: A public information program to warn of temporary closures, delays, and road hazards during construction shall be implemented.

This program would help convey appropriate messages to the public and aid in mitigating potential impacts on visitors' expectations and experiences. Work with public information officer and park staff to ensure that potential for delays is communicated to visitors, including location and potential duration.

• Transportation: A copy of a Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted for review and approval prior to the commencement of work activities. This plan shall address location of warning signs, type of signs, placement of flaggers, placement of cones/fencing, barricades, duration of anticipated delays, use of pilot cars, etc. This plan shall address vehicle and pedestrian traffic within the construction zone. Limit delays to a maximum of 15 minutes or one mile of traffic backup.

• Human Health & Safety - Safety Plans: The contractor shall submit a safety plan to the Park Safety Officer prior to commencement of work. Safety plan shall demonstrate compliance with OSHA and other applicable safety laws. It shall include an emergency safety plan and shall list contractor points of contact. Include the special circumstances of this project, including the proximity of steep slopes, high elevation work, potential for severe weather at high elevation and exposed areas (with equipment), and communication plans in both areas with limited/no cell phone coverage.
