Subsurface Investigation at Wyoming Gate, KAFB

This action was awarded as an 8(a) Sole Source Set-Aside under the authority of section 8(a) of the Small Business Act.
This is a non-personal services contract to conduct a subsurface investigation at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, NM. The investigation will consist of:
• Auger drilling
• Drive sampling (Standard Penetration Test or SPT)
• Soil sampling
• Soil testing
All work, shall be completed within 120 calendar days after contract award. All test pits and boreholes should be located at the KAFB project site prior to the start of subsurface investigation operations. All drillers shall be licensed in the state of New Mexico. All work under this PWS shall be performed in an environmentally acceptable manner conforming to existing Federal, State, and Local regulations.
5.2.2 Subsurface Investigation Sampling
Subsurface investigation sampling described in this PWS will consist of test pits, auger drilling, drive sampling (Standard Penetration Test or SPT), rock coring (if applicable), and soil sampling at the KAFB Wyoming Gate project site. All borings shall be auger drilled and drive sampled (SPT) utilizing a 1-3/8 inch I.D. (2-inch Outside Diameter (O.D.)) by 24-inch long split spoon barrel drive sampler with samples collected continuously up to a specified depth then at 2.5' intervals thereafter to the termination depth, unless otherwise specified. Should rock be encountered or SPT blow counts exceed 50 blows per 6" the depth shall be deemed as a spoon-refusal. The contractor will be responsible for collecting and labeling soil samples for laboratory analysis. All soil samples collected should be visually identified in the field in accordance with ASTM D 2488.

See the subsurface investigation schedules in the sections below for locations and depths of cores, potholes, and boreholes. Site maps and subsurface investigation are attached at the end of this PWS. It is recognized that prior to or as the investigation is conducted, it may be necessary to modify the plan in order to fully investigate the characteristics of the subsurface encountered. All modifications should be communicated with the POC and recorded on the applicable investigation log, as necessary. Furthermore, the contractor shall not hold the government liable for changes in locations and borehole depths so long as the total number of cores, potholes, and linear feet of drilling remains.
