About this file

This geological site investigation report describes conditions at the Anan Bear Observatory Reconstruction project site in Alaska. The granitic bedrock is highly fractured with complex fracture patterns. Notable features include exposed granite cliffs along Anan Creek, colluvial granitic boulders at the stream bank, and fractures observed on tunnel walls. The report recommends designs able to withstand seismic activity and shifting fractured bedrock, including reinforced concrete footings rated for at least 250 psi. Staircases and pathways should be designed to accommodate future rock displacement.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation for the GAOA Anan Wildlife Observatory Reconstruction Phase 2 project. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is the issuing agency, with a solicitation number of 1240BH23R0025 and upload date of May 12, 2023. No further details are provided on required products/services, response dates, or other salient information.
