3. Scope of Work. The work performed under this contract shall include geotechnical drilling, sampling, grouting of boreholes, creation and management of drilling records, laboratory testing, creation and management of laboratory testing records, cone penetration testing (CPT), CPT-based in-situ soil tests, direct push soil sampling, piezometer installation, piezometer monitoring, inclinometer installation, and guard post installation. The Government will issue task orders based on the requirements set forth in this contract. The Contractor shall perform the work in accordance with this contract and submit invoices to the Government according to the agreed upon unit price for each Contract Line Item.

3.1. Boring Location. The Government will provide the Contractor with a general map, aerial photograph, and project drawing showing the project location and proposed boring locations. Additionally, the Government will identify each boring location in the field with survey flagging and a stake marked with the boring number. Minor deviation (field adjustments) in the proposed boring location as shown on the drawings or as staked in the field shall be allowed without Government approval. However, changes of 20 ft or more from the staked location must be approved in advance by the Government. The borings shall be numbered on the field logs as indicated in the task order and on the wooden stakes in the field. The Contractor shall measure the latitude and longitude of each boring location as drilled in the field using a dedicated GPS device and record these coordinates on the field logs for each boring in decimal degree format. Latitude and longitude coordinates noted on the field logs shall be accurate to within 20 ft. The Contractor shall be responsible for requesting utility location services for each boring from the appropriate state or local agency.

3.2. Drilling. The boring shall be drilled using hollow stem augers, mud rotary, or a combination of the two methods. The following procedures shall be used by the Contractor depending on the selected method of drilling:

3.2.1. Hollow Stem Augers. Drilling and sampling using a hollow stem auger shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D6151, unless specifically directed otherwise in this contract. Drilling and sampling may be advanced using hollow stem augers when drilling above the in-situ groundwater level. Below this depth, mud rotary drilling shall be used. When advancing the boring through strata above the in-situ groundwater table, if soil heaves upward into the auger stem, the Contractor may attempt to fill the auger stem with water or drilling mud to offset the uplift forces;

however, if this proves unsuccessful (i.e. soils heave into the hollow stem auger), the Contractor shall switch over to mud rotary drilling before proceeding with the boring. Any use of fluid in the hollow stem auger, including the associated depths, shall be clearly recorded on the field logs. If any soil heaves into the hollow stem auger during drilling operations, the depths to bottom of the auger and the top of the heaved soil shall be clearly recorded on the field logs. The borehole shall be cleaned to the sampling elevation exercising caution to ensure that the material to be sampled is not disturbed by the cleanout operation and that there are minimal cutting at the base of the borehole.

3.2.2. Mud Rotary. Drilling and sampling using the mud rotary method shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D5783, unless specifically directed otherwise in this contract. Drilling and sampling may be advanced using mud rotary drilling method either above or below the in-situ groundwater level. Bentonite-based drilling fluid additives are acceptable, except in boreholes for piezometer installation, relief well pilot holes, or when specifically directed otherwise in the task order. Side-discharge or top-discharge fishtail or roller cone bits are acceptable. Any type of bottom-discharge bits will be considered unacceptable. The borehole shall be cleaned to the sampling elevation exercising caution to ensure that the material to be sampled is not disturbed by the cleanout operation and that there are minimal cutting at the base of the borehole. The depth at which mud rotary drilling is initiated shall be clearly recorded on the field logs along with any drilling methods used prior to switching to mud rotary.

3.3. Sampling. The Contractor shall drill each boring to the depth specified for that boring in the task order. Each task order will include one or more tables showing required sampling types and intervals for each boring or boring type. The Contractor shall exercise care to maximize recovery and minimize disturbance for each sample.

3.3.1. Undisturbed Sampling. Undisturbed samples shall be obtained in accordance with

ASTM D1587, unless specifically directed otherwise in this contract, using a fixed-piston type sampler in accordance with ASTM D6519 to recover undisturbed samples below the natural groundwater table. Unless directed otherwise by the task order, undisturbed samples shall be taken continuously, the bottom depth of one sample identical to the top depth of the subsequent sample. Unless directed otherwise by the task order, undisturbed samples shall be obtained using 5-inch diameter thin-walled (Shelby) tubes as described in ASTM D1587. One recovered, the tube ends shall be cleaned of any disturbed or excess material and capped with an air-tight seal in the field as soon as they are extracted. Each extruded undisturbed sample shall be tested with a pocket penetrometer and torvane in addition to any other laboratory tests assigned by the Government.

3.3.2. Disturbed Sampling. Disturbed samples shall be obtained in accordance with ASTM D1586 unless specifically directed otherwise in this contract. Soil samples recovered using the split spoon method of sampling shall use the standard (1-3/8 inch I.D., 2 inch O.D.) split spoon drive sampler without an interior liner. With the split spoon sampler resting at the bottom of the hole, it shall be driven through undisturbed soil 18 inches, or to refusal, using an approved auto-hammer that has been calibrated at least annually according to ASTM D4633. The Contractor shall provide proof of annual calibration of each auto-hammer used for obtaining split spoon samples under this contract. The manufacturer and model of the hammer shall be recorded on the field log. Refusal is defined as penetration of less than 6 inches for 50 blows. In the event that the Contractor opens the split spoon sampler and finds two different materials inside so as to indicate a change in soil strata between the top and bottom depths of the sample, the Contractor shall place the two distinct materials in separate jars with sample numbers and depths labeled appropriately.

3.3.3. Hand Auger Sampling. Hand auger samples shall be obtained in accordance with ASTM D1452 unless specifically directed otherwise in this contract. Hand auger samples shall be obtained using augers at least 2 inches in diameter, either barrel, Dutch, or Iwan type, at 12-inch intervals and/or at strata changes. Field boring logs, as described in Section 3.6 below, shall be completed for each boring. For the purposes of transportation and storage, hand auger samples shall be considered disturbed samples.

3.3.4. Grab Sampling. Grab samples shall be obtained from auger flights, inspection trenches, test pits, or other excavations from each depth identified in the task order.

Field boring logs, as described in Section 3.6 below, shall be completed for each boring, inspection trench, or test pit. For the purposes of transportation and storage, grab samples shall be considered disturbed samples.

3.3.5. Sample Containers and Care. All soil samples recovered as part of this contract shall be preserved, stored, and transported in accordance with ASTM D4220.

Shipping samples to a laboratory outside the Memphis, TN Metropolitan Statistical Area will be allowed provided the Contractor can demonstrate a satisfactory packaging and handling process that meets or exceeds all of the requirements of ASTM D4220 in order to ensure that all samples arrive at their destination in the same condition as when they were visually classified. For any samples shipped by means of a 3rd party courier service (such as FedEx, UPS, DHL, US Postal Service, etc), a tracking number shall be provided to the Contracting Officer within 48 hrs of shipment. Lost, damaged, or otherwise disturbed samples shall be promptly redrilled and replaced by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

Unless specifically directed otherwise in the task order, undisturbed samples, such as those obtained using a Shelby tube sampler, shall be considered as falling under

Group D. Disturbed samples, such as those obtained from a split spoon sampler, hand auger, auger flights, inspection trench, or test pit shall be considered as falling under Group B. Upon completion of work for each task order, all soil samples from that task order shall be sealed, placed in suitable containers, and stacked neatly and securely on standard freight pallets to a height not greater than 36 inches above the pallet. Labels or signs listing the names of all the projects included on each pallet shall be affixed to at least 2 perpendicular sides of each pallet, and the pallets shall be delivered to Bldg. 17 at Ensley Engineering Yard, 2915 Riverport Rd, Memphis, TN 38109. The Contractor shall provide at least 7 days’ notice prior to delivering soil samples.

3.3.5.1. Disturbed Samples. Disturbed samples shall be placed 1-pint capacity, transparent sample jars and sealed with moisture-tight threaded lids. The mouth of each jar shall be at least 2.25 inches in diameter. At a minimum, each jar shall be clearly and legibly identified in permanent ink with the following information:

(1) Boring number or designation (as it appears on wooden stake)

(2) Sample number

(3) Top and bottom depth of sample

(4) Date sample recovered

Sample jars shall be labeled on site as soon as the sample is placed in the jar. Sample jars shall be sealed tightly to minimize losses of natural moisture during sample transport and storage. Sample jars shall be placed in partitioned boxes suitable for shipping and long-term storage. Each box shall completely enclose and protect all jars and be clearly and legibly labeled on one end (not on top or bottom) with the following information:

(1) Project name and task order number

(2) Boring name(s) or designation(s) contained within

(3) Sample numbers contained within

If a single boring requires more than one box, the boxes shall be sequentially numbered. The Contractor shall furnish all sample jars and boxes. The Government will furnish all jar labels. Upon final receipt, the sample jars and boxes shall become property of the Government.

3.3.5.2. Undisturbed Samples. Undisturbed samples shall be kept sealed and undisturbed in their sample tubes or containers at the Contractor’s laboratory until the Government can personally oversee the unsealing and extrusion of the samples. All Undisturbed samples shall be clearly and legibly identified in permanent ink with the flowing information:

(1) Boring number of designation (as it appears on wooden stake)

(2) Sample number

(3) Top and bottom depth of sample

(4) Date sample recovered

The Contractor shall exercise care to ensure undisturbed samples are stored upright (i.e.
