**The Wetting and Drying Test (ASTM D 5313) is modified and performed in the following manner:

The initial step of the test is the careful examination of the entire sample and the selection of representative test specimens. The piece should be large enough to produce two cut slabs, 1 inch (25.4 mm) thick ( 1/4 inch) (6.35 mm) with a maximum surface area of 30 square inches (193.5 cm) on one side. Two chunks approximately 3 by 4 inches (76.2 mm by 101.6 mm) are also chosen. The slabs and chunks are carefully examined under a low-power microscope and all visible surface features are noted and recorded. The specimens are then oven dried at 140F (60C), for eight hours, cooled and weighed to the nearest tenth of a gram. The test specimens are photographed to show all surface features before the test. The chunks and slabs are then subjected to fifteen (1) cycles of wetting and drying. One slab and chunk are soaked in fresh tap water, and the other slab and chunk soaked in salt water prepared in accordance with ASTM D 1141 (substitute ocean water). Each cycle consists of soaking the sample for sixteen (16) hours at room temperature and then drying in an oven for eight (8) hours at 140 F. After each cycle the specimens are examined with the low-power microscope to check for opening or movement of fractures, flaking along edges, swelling of clays, softening of the rock surface, heaving of micaceous minerals, breakdown of matrix material, and any other evidence of weakness developing in the rock. The cycle in which any of these actions occurs is recorded.

After fifteen (1) cycles, the slabs and chunks are again carefully examined and all changes in the rocks are noted and recorded. The test specimens together with all flakes or particles, which come off during the test, are oven dried, weighed, and photographed.

1. SCOPE:

1.1 Services Required: Perform soil, rock, concrete, asphalt, and aggregate tests as listed below, with complete compliance and adherence to the applicable referenced test procedure.

2. SPECIFIC CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS:

2.1 The laboratory shall be certified by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). In addition, the laboratory shall be validated by audit by the Corps of Engineers, Materials Testing Center (MTC), for the required test methods. Further information regarding laboratory validation shall be obtained by visiting http://www.wes.army.mil/SL/MTC/inspection.htm.

2.2 The laboratory shall be responsible for transportation of samples and materials to be tested.

Samples to be picked up are typically located at the Corps of Engineers storage facility in Bryte (West Sacramento), California. Costs incidental to the transportation of samples and materials shall be borne by the laboratory.

2.3 Due to the possible need of laboratory testing associated with emergency flood fighting and levee repair, it is critical that the laboratory be located within a one hour (1) hour drive time of Sacramento, California. This shall facilitate a more rapid delivery of sample material(s) and completion of laboratory testing. If an award of a laboratory is selected from Utah, the drive to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento Districts storage facility in Bryte (West Sacramento), California to pick up soil samples shall not be applied.

2.4 All supervisory costs/fees/overhead, etc. shall be included in the test price. No separate payment for supervision shall be made.

2.5 The laboratory shall have at least twenty-four or more Triaxial test cells and twenty or more permeability test cells available for use when the scope of work calls for multiple testing of samples. The District’s boundaries include California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and portions of adjoining states.

2.6 All data produced by tests and analyses shall be forwarded to the Sacramento District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in both digital format (.pdf or Microsoft excel compatible format copied onto a compact disk) and hard copy. Hard copy shall be white paper, 8-1/2 by 11 inches or 11 by 17 inches;

unless directed otherwise. Two (2) hard copies of all report data shall be supplied. Digital format shall be .pdf or other format as directed by the Government. Additionally, all data, as appropriate, shall be summarized in spreadsheets. The spreadsheets shall be supplied in electronic media format acceptable to the Government.

2.7 All tests and analyses specified in the appropriate reference shall be strictly performed and reported as indicated. Any deviations shall be coordinated with the Geotechnical Branch, Sacramento District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prior to the test being conducted.

Term of the BPA: This BPA will be valid for a five-year period from the date established, unless either party provides a 30 day notification to terminate the agreement. Should either party request its discontinuation, work on existing orders/calls shall be completed by the contractor, including any modifications executed on any remaining calls. Once a BPA is terminated, no new orders will be placed with the BPA Holder.

Unless the order is modified in writing (e.g. there is a change in the scope of services ordered), the obligated amount will not be adjusted.

Invoices shall include all necessary information and shall include any necessary supporting documentation. Payment and invoicing instructions are included in the Performance Work Statement with each order. SUMMARY INVOICES: A summary invoice shall be submitted at least monthly or upon expiration of this BPA, whichever occurs first, for all deliveries made during a billing period, identifying the delivery tickets covered therein, stating their total dollar value, and supported by receipt copies of the delivery tickets.

Contract Payments: The Government shall pay the Contractor/BPA Holder upon submission of proper invoices for services delivered and accepted for the portion of the work actually performed under the order. The negotiated price for the order may include a payment schedule based on task or product deliveries, but not for a percentage of completion. Deliverables must be accepted by the Government before payment will be made.

Partial Milestone Payments: In general, payment will be made in arrears after completion and acceptance of ALL ordered services. However, for orders with long performance periods the government may consider requests for milestone payments based upon completion of specified tasks and/or receipt of deliverables. Milestone payments will not be made for orders with performance periods of 30 days or less or in amounts equal to or less than $2,500. A milestone payment schedule should be requested by the BPA Holder as part of its quotation and an acceptable milestone payment schedule negotiated with the Government prior to the Government’s placement of the order. Authorized milestone payments will not be made more frequently than monthly. Authorized milestone payments will not be made more frequently than monthly.

Safety and Accident Prevention: In performing ordered services, the BPA Holder/contractor shall provide and maintain work environments and procedures which will (1) safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to Contractor operations and activities; and (2) avoid interruptions of Government operations and delays in project completion dates.

Changes authorized by the Contracting Officer will be in the form of a written, official, signed modification to the contract action received by the Contractor before the Contractor will act upon those changes. The Contractor will comply with the Changes clause of this contract when the contractor believes direction has been given from persons other than the Government Contracting Officer that equate to a change by notifying the Contractor Officer as directed by the clause. Any direction given by any Government employee or any other person outside their authority must be reported to the Contracting Officer. Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) are limited to the authorities stated in the COR appointment letters. If a COR is appointed under this contract, they will be appointed by written letter from the Contracting Officer to the Contractor and COR specific to this contract only. COR appointment letters from previous contracts at this installation are not valid for this contract.
