About this file
This document is an addendum to a geotechnical report for a landslide and road damage evaluation and reconstruction project on State Road PR-149 in Ciales, Puerto Rico. The addendum certifies that the geotechnical analyses were performed in accordance with Puerto Rico Transportation and Highway Authority (PRTHA) design guidelines, including internal and external stability analyses. It confirms that the recommendations in the geotechnical report, if followed, will provide adequate safety factors for global stability against static and pseudo-static conditions.
The related federal contract opportunity is for the Landslide Repairs in Ciales, Puerto Rico project (Solicitation Number 693C73-24-B-000008). This project consists of repairing landslides caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria on several roads in the municipality of Ciales. The work includes utility relocation, embankment reconstruction, landslide stabilizations, drainage systems, retaining walls, milling and overlay, pavement reconstruction, and other miscellaneous work. The project is expected to be in the $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 price range, and the bid documents are scheduled to be issued on or about April 1, 2024. The solicitation is set aside for certified Small Business Concerns only.

Attn.: Mr. Francisco Klein, PE, President
Subject: Addendum No. 1 – Proposed Geotechnical Engineering and Subsurface Exploratory Services for the Landslide and Road Damage Evaluation and Reconstruction Project ER-HWY-227 at State Road PR-149, KM 42.8 on Ala de la Piedra Ward of the Municipality of Ciales, Puerto Rico. Reference No. DA/18O3743
Gentlemen:
Following the necessary approval of our revised proposal by the PRTHA’s Soils Engineering office, Despiau
Associates was engaged for the Geotechnical Engineering & Subsurface Exploratory Services on the referenced project. The scope of work and associated terms and conditions of our engagement were detailed in said revised proposal.
However, in order to verify the adequacy of the presented reconstruction alternatives, internal and external stability analyses for slopes within the project’s limits were performed. The degree of stability of a slope is expressed as the factor of safety, which is the ratio of the forces resisting failure to the driving forces causing instability.
The undersigned hereby certifies that the analyses contained in our geotechnical report were performed following the Puerto Rico Transportation and Highway Authority (PRTHA) Design guidelines, including internal and external stability. Moreover, the undersigned confirms that, provided the recommendations contained in the geotechnical report of reference are strictly followed and considered in the design, adequate safety factors for global stability against Static and Pseudo-Static conditions will be obtained. Furthermore, additional slope stability analyses may be performed to assure the global stability of the finally selected alternative.
Should you have any question regarding these matters, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Respectfully submitted, DESPIAU ASSOCIATES
Jose R. Despiau, P.E.
