SECTION C

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

CORE DRILLING, SOIL SAMPLING AND LABORATORY TESTING OF SOIL SAMPLES

U.S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, GALVESTON

CORPS OF ENGINEERS

GALVESTON, TEXAS

1. GENERAL: The intent of the work specified herein to be performed by the Contractor is to determine the type, nature and characteristics of the subsurface materials at existing and proposed project sites under investigation by the United States Government, principally the U.S. Army Engineer District, Galveston, Corps of Engineers, Galveston, Texas. The required work will normally be located within the boundaries of the Galveston District, shown on Plate 1 (see Section J); however, work may occur outside these boundaries with concurrence of the Contractor and approval of the Contracting Officer. Services may be performed in connection with both military and civil projects assigned to any entity of the United States Government.

Project locations will be identified in each task order. The Contractor, operating as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Government, shall provide all labor, equipment, and transport of equipment and personnel to the site necessary to determine the type, nature and characteristics of the subsurface materials at the specified drilling, sampling, and testing locations, by core drilling, soils sampling and laboratory testing of the soil samples utilizing procedures which are acceptable to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and provide to the Contracting Officer the required products with supporting data. All work shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract and this Performance Work Statement (PWS). During the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall provide adequate supervision and quality control to assure the accuracy, quality, completeness and progress of the work.

2. DIRECTION OF WORK: The Contracting Officer will direct the Contractor to initiate core drilling and sampling operations at designated work areas and to perform related laboratory testing through the issuance of subsequent task orders. Task orders will identify the purpose and location of the required drilling, the number and depth of the soils borings, the type and number of soil samples to be obtained, the laboratory tests to be performed on the samples, the frequency of testing required and the required completion date of the work. The Contractor shall begin the subsurface investigations at the designated work site within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of a task order, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer. If laboratory testing is directed by a separate task order, the Contractor shall begin laboratory testing of the soil samples within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the task order, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to set aside a certain portion of core drilling work to be performed by Government personnel or other commercial sources. Testing of samples obtained by Government personnel may be designated for testing by the Contractor or may be tested at a Government and/or other commercial laboratory as selected by the Contracting Officer. The portion of work to be set aside is not included in the estimate of the quantity of work to be performed under this contract.

C-2

3. SUPERVISION OF WORK: The Contractor shall be responsible for the supervision of the core drilling and sampling operations and the laboratory testing of the soil samples. The Contractor shall assign a professional engineer or geologist to supervise the work to be performed under each individual task order. This representative of the Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating the drilling and sampling operations to assure that drilling procedures and directions specified in this contract and in the individual task orders are being followed, that the soil samples are being properly obtained and handled, and that the samples are representative of the subsurface materials being encountered. The Contractor's representative shall communicate with representatives of the Contracting Officer during the drilling and sampling operations to advise the Contracting Officer of any difficulties being encountered in the performance of the work. Upon receipt of the driller's logs, described in Section C, Paragraph 10, the Contractor's representative shall review the logs for completeness and, to the extent practicable, for agreement with the samples obtained. Upon receipt of a task order for laboratory testing, the Contractor's representative shall inform laboratory personnel of the tests to be performed and shall supervise the testing to assure that proper testing procedures are followed and that test results are properly recorded. The presence of a representative of the Contracting Officer during the drilling operations and/or the laboratory testing shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibilities specified in this paragraph.

4. LOCATION OF WORK: The location of the drilling to be performed will be identified in each task order. Locations will include terrain of varying types, steepness and consistencies ranging from hard-surfaced dry land to soft marsh lands, including swamps and dredged material placement areas, lands with excessive moisture or soft to very soft surface and subsurface conditions, partially to fully submerged areas with varying depths of ponded or standing water, and areas which may be covered by heavy vegetation or brush. Locations may include inland waterways and channels, portions of other bodies of water, and waters of and in close proximity of deep draft navigation channels including entrance channels offshore.

The locations of the projects will at times be on islands that are only accessible by water. The exact location of each soil boring to be drilled will either be provided to the contractor in the form of horizontal coordinates, be staked by the Contracting Officer's representative, be provided in relation to an existing physical or topographic feature, or be positioned in accordance with other instructions provided in the individual task orders. The locations of borings specified in the task order or task order attachments shall not be changed unless approved by the Contracting Officer.

5. ACCESS TO BORING AND ELECTRONIC CPT LOCATIONS: The Contractor shall be required to perform some minor clearing of small vegetation where necessary to provide access for drilling and electronic CPT equipment, which shall be considered a subsidiary obligation of the Contractor. Where major clearing is needed as determined by the government, one or more of the equipment types in the below paragraph entitled “EARTHWORK” may be ordered by the government for use in a given task order.

Rights-of-Entry or assurances that core drilling, CPT testing, and associated clearing and earthwork activities are permitted in the designated areas will be furnished to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer prior to the initiation of the drilling or CPT testing and associated clearing and earthwork activities. Access to the project sites for water drilling may be obtained

C-3 via public or private boat ramps or other launching sites located by the Contractor. The Contractor shall exercise care in the use of the public ramps to avoid disturbance to the area and shall be responsible for leaving the area in conditions comparable to those presently existing. The Contractor shall make arrangements for use of private ramps. The Government will provide water boring locations in the form of Texas State Plane coordinates, as necessary.

6. DRILLING EQUIPMENT: Equipment to be furnished and utilized by the Contractor for core drilling shall be dependable equipment in good condition and of sufficient size to efficiently perform the drilling and sampling to the required depths at the required locations and within the approved time period specified for the work.
