The Savannah District reserves the right to halt drilling operations for any safety violations. The Savannah District Safety Officer is Jose Herrera, 912-652-5197.

8. Drilling Operations. The drilling agency shall perform 64 borings inside of the Indiana

Harbor and Canal. The barge provider shall be able to set up on 64 boring locations identified in Table 1 which the barge operator shall be required to position the vessel and stabilize the work platform prior to commencement of drilling. The work shall be conducted in such a manner that does not adversely impact navigation. For technical questions contact Max Simian 912-652-5669 or Steven Widincamp 912-652-5670.

9. Borings. Drilling shall be done at the coordinates provided in Table 1or on the maps shown, or as directed by the Government. All borings are to be advanced using a track mounted drill rig weighing 10,000 lbs. A photograph and information on the drilling rig is included as Attachment 2. POC for the drilling rig dimensions is Steve Widincamp; 912-652-5670, email;

steven.d.widincamp@usace.army.mil.

10. Inclement Weather. Inclement weather is defined as rough weather and water conditions that hamper or prevent safe drilling as determined by the lead driller and inspector, or vessel navigation as determined by the barge Captain. Inclement weather time, in increments of hours, shall be determined by the drilling agency’s inspector and barge Captain. If inclement weather threatens the safety of the vessel and all aboard, the barge Captain has the authority to declare cessation of drilling operations, raise the spuds, and conduct expedient movement to the nearest harbor shelter. Inability for the vessel to mobilize to boring locations due to any NOAA Tropical Weather Warnings will not be considered an extreme weather event and will not be paid as down time.

11. Captain’s Responsibility. The captain of the barge shall be responsible for the barge vessel and the safe transportation of personnel and equipment on it. He shall make determinations relevant to the efficient and safe navigation, operation, and docking of vessels. He shall cooperate with the driller in setting up on the proposed drilling location as directed by the driller or onboard geologist. He shall make determinations as to safety of his vessels during inclement weather and for setting up in the river, high water conditions, rough seas, or fast currents at the drill site. An initial kick-off meeting with the barge captain, USACE representatives, and local harbor pilots shall be required to identify boring locations which could potentially pose an issue for continued shipping navigation during setup or drilling and mitigate any potential conflicts prior to commencement of drilling operations.

12. Weekly Status Reports. During the work period of the task order a weekly progress teleconference shall be conducted. Participants shall include a person from the drilling agency, barge Captain (pending duties) and the on-board geologist. The call is to provide a brief oral overview of the activities for the previous week. This time may also be used to discuss potential problems and solutions related to contract performance or conditions that might affect performance.

13. Schedule. The estimated schedule for this work is as follows:

Begin drill work: June 2024.

Finish Drill work: 30 days from start of drilling operations.

14. Coordination. The principal Savannah District technical point of contact for this task order is Mr. Steven Widincamp.

15. Bids: Contractor bid shall include daily rate for mobilization (which includes loading and unloading of drilling equipment and supplies), daily rate for workdays, daily rate for weather days and daily rate for off days deemed necessary by the government. Contractor will only be paid based on number of days used since the overall number of days (30) are estimated based on the current customer needs. Customer needs may change during the course of the project mailto:steven.d.widincamp@usace.army.mil based on drilling data.
