Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract for Core Drilling, Soil Sampling and Laboratory Testing of Soil Samples

Added: Jul 27, 2009 8:25 pm The work consists of core drilling, soil sampling and testing. The following requirements are highlighted from the Performance Work Statement: It is anticipated that soil sampling and core drilling requirements under this contract will occur in marsh terrain or lands with excessive moisture requiring marsh buggy mounted drill rigs at least 60 percent of the time. Firms deemed capable of performing the required work may be inspected during the evaluation process. Core drilling and soil sampling equipment will be inspected for dependability, and sufficient size to efficiently perform the drilling and sampling. Laboratory equipment and apparatus shall be approved types and shall be maintained in good calibrated condition and within the specified tolerances for laboratory equipment shown in the referenced ASTM E 329 and ASTM D 3740. Laboratory testing will include a full range of soils tests including but not limited to unconfined compression, triaxial compression, direct shear consolidation and other testing, all in accordance with respective ASTM standards. Project locations will be identified for each task order. The firm must demonstrate in its submission the specialized experience, the capacity, and the technical competence of the firm and its staff to meet the following: specialized experience and technical competence in core drilling and soil sampling in the following types of terrains: Marsh terrain includes marsh lands, swamps and dredged material placement areas, lands with excessive moisture and/or soft to very soft surface and subsurface conditions that may include partially to fully submerged areas with varying depths of ponded or standing water, and which may be covered by heavy vegetation or brush. Hard surfaced dry land with varying types of terrain and steepness which may be covered by heavy vegetation or brush. Inland waterways and channels, lakes, bays, and other bodies of water, and waters in close proximity to deep draft navigation channels.
