GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING SCOPE OF WORK

Project Name: NM FS SNTFE310 263(1) Gallinas Canyon Road

I. Introduction

This details the geotechnical borings associated with the design and construction of Gallinas Canyon Road. The geotechnical investigation will gather subsurface data to inform the 30% project design and cost estimate. The program includes nineteen (19) planned boreholes. These boreholes fall into two categories: corridor characterization and bridge investigation.

Project Locations and Descriptions: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Central Federal Lands Highway Division, and the Forest Service are partnering to reconstruct a portion of FR 263, Gallinas Canyon Road. This reconstruction project includes roadway resurfacing, widening, and realignment. The realignment incorporates options for several bridge replacements and rock cuts.

Gallinas Canyon lies within San Miguel County, NM. The project alignment begins at Burro Basin Trailhead and proceeds East for approximately 6 miles to the intersection of FR 263 and FR 156. The existing alignment consists of a narrow, winding road that crosses 15 bridges. The project limits are presented in Table 1. Maps of the project vicinity and proposed borings are presented in Figures 1-3.

Notes:

- Footages are assumed and may be adjusted during drilling based on subsurface conditions.

- Exploration locations may be adjusted during drilling based on drill rig accessibility and passage of traffic.

Corridor Characterization Boreholes The intent of the corridor characterization boreholes is to characterize the overburden material along the alignment, measure depths to bedrock, and characterize the distinct local geologic units. The data from select borings will be correlated with a seismic survey. Based on field observations, downhole-hammer-type drilling is anticipated to be capable of advancing through the overburden. Rock coring will be utilized in select boreholes, and a minimum 10 ft rock core will be collected.

Bridge Investigation Boreholes The intent of the bridge investigation boreholes is to collect data to inform foundation recommendations.

Based on field observations, downhole-hammer-type drilling is anticipated to be capable of advancing through the overburden. Rock coring will be utilized in all bridge investigation boreholes and a minimum 10 ft rock core will be collected.

Anticipated Soil Conditions:

Overburden soils along the existing roadway are anticipated to predominantly consist of silty and clayey gravels and cobbles. Boulders up to 3 ft in diameter were observed in the streambeds. The underlying bedrock predominantly consists of pegmatites and metamorphic rocks. Deposits of granite and sedimentary rock can also be found along the project alignment. Outcrops of these mapped rock units are evident throughout the canyon. Maps and descriptions of regional geology are presented in Figures 4

- 6 below. Although the geologic mapping in Figure 4 terminates prior to BH26-01, surficial visual observations indicate that no significant changes to the underlying geology are anticipated.

Figure 4: Geology Map and Legend, Part 1.

Figure 5: Geology Map and Legend, Part 2.

Figure 6: Geology Map and Legend, Part 3.

Drill Rig Accessibility:

Gallinas Canyon Road measures approximately 14 feet wide in most locations and features a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces. The majority of the boreholes lie within the existing roadway; therefore, it is anticipated that a truck-mounted rig will be adequate. The one exception is BH26-11, which lies off the main alignment. Accessing this location requires traversing a grassy, lightly forested, and moderately sloping hillside. The type of drill rig is to be determined by the drilling contractor. Photos of the roadway are presented below to aid in drill rig selection.

Traffic Control:

Traffic control will not be required for this project, though the driller should bring signs and cones to define the work area. Gallinas Canyon Road is closed to the public, but a small volume of vehicle traffic should be expected from residents accessing private cabins. The project team is currently evaluating timed closures (e.g., 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM) to accommodate drilling operations.

These closures remain unconfirmed and will require coordination between FHWA, the USFS, and the drilling contractor once a schedule has been determined.

Water Access:

Water for drilling operations will not be provided. Procuring water is the responsibility of the drilling contractor.

Cleanliness of Site and Environmental Impact:

It is allowable to backfill the completed borings with dry cuttings from drilling. It is the responsibility of the drilling contractor to collect and dispose of any drilling mud or slurry. It may be prudent to bring bags of bentonite, or similar material, if insufficient drill cuttings are produced to completely backfill the borings. An asphalt pavement patch must be applied to cover all borings advanced through pavement after the borehole is backfilled. All contractors working on public lands will follow the applicable agency’s rules and guidelines pertaining to environment and cleanliness.

Utility Locates:

The drilling contractor is responsible for requesting public utility clearances. FHWA has provided coordinates for the approximate borehole locations and can provide additional location details if requested.

Borings and Sampling:

A combination of DTH and HQ3 core drilling (or other) will be used for the subsurface exploration. The contractor may propose alternative drilling methods provided that SPT samples are collected in the overburden and continuous core samples are collected from the bedrock.

The geotechnical borings will be advanced with a combination of DTH and HQ3 core drilling (or other).

SPT samples will be collected at five (5) ft intervals within the overburden soil. The SPT sampler will be provided by the contractor. If an obstruction (i.e., cobble, 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. Hammer calibration must be within 1 year of the date drilling is performed.

Grab samples will be collected if significant changes in the subsurface are noted between drive samples.

Photos will be taken of all drive samples. The soil samples will be sealed and labeled in double bagged 1-gallon sample bags.

If/when DTH refusal is met, or rock is encountered in the geotechnical boring, the boring will be advanced using HQ3 wireline tooling (or other). The coring method must have the ability to advance through gravels, cobbles, and boulders in the overburden as well as bedrock such as granite and pegmatite.

The drilling contractor will provide 14 5-gallon buckets with lids for sample collection and 14 core boxes.

FHWA will provide personnel on-site to determine the boring locations and depths, log the borings, and collect samples. The period of performance shall begin on September 14th, 2026, and shall end on November 1st, 2026 unless terminated earlier or extended in writing by mutual agreement of both parties. Please provide costs pertaining to the following:

1. Mobilization/Demobilization (Lump sum).

2. DTH drilling rate (per foot). Estimate 335 linear feet.

3. HQ3 core drilling rate (per foot). Estimate 201 linear feet.

4. SPT sample rate (each). Estimate 67 SPT samples.

5. Stand-by rate due to weather (please provide an hourly rate less than drilling rate to be paid if needed).

6. On-site move rate (please provide an hourly rate less than drilling rate to be paid if needed).

7. Per diem based on CONUS (daily rate per person) (https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates).

8. Rough estimate of misc. expenses (14 core boxes, 14 buckets with lids, bentonite, etc.).

9. Water truck or trailer with an appropriate capacity to handle the drilling conditions and an adequately powered pump (daily rate).

10. Traffic Control (signs and cones to define work area) (lump sum).

11. Business Classification, and DUNS Number.

11. Other notable items: Davis Bacon wages are not applicable as this is a service contract and not a construction contract. Work schedule to be determined but 10 to 12-hour days likely.

An example pay item list is attached.
