The borings shall be numbered as indicated in the attached drilling instructions and wooden stakes. b. Drilling and Sampling. Pilot holes may be drilled by any method approved by the Contracting Officer Representative which will allow the recovery of samples as described below. Samples shall be obtained with a standard split spoon sampler, (inside diameter of 1-3/8 inch), and shall be driven in accordance with the requirements of ASTM D 1586 and as approved by the Contracting Officer Representative to obtain samples 18 inches in length. Sampling shall be taken at the depths provided below. The drilling fluid (not a bentonite or other expansive clay system) shall be a suspension of fine-grained soils or shall be a commercial product of a recognized manufacturer. c. Boring Depths. All borings shall be advanced to the depths provided below. d. Backfill and Grouting of Borings. Each pilot hole shall be backfilled within 12 feet of the surface with concrete sand meeting the requirements of ASTM C33. The remainder of the pilot hole shall be filled with 10 feet of grout capped by 2 feet of compacted impervious cuttings. The grout mix shall be consist by weight of one part Portland Cement, 4 parts sand, 2 parts Bentonite and shall be mixed with sufficient water to provide a 6 to 8 inch slump. e. Surveys for Borings. The government shall be responsible for providing all surveys to determine boring elevations and locations with respect to levee stationing, offset distances from levee baseline, and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) coordinates for latitude and longitude. The boring stakes in the field will include the stationing, offset distances, elevations and well number. All information from the stake shall be recorded on the corresponding boring logs. f. Documentations. A field boring log shall be maintained for each pilot hole drilled. This data shall be recorded on Form LMM 650 Jan '64 quote mark Field Boring Log quote mark, a copy of which is available at the following website under the link quote mark Relief Well Standard Forms quote mark : http://www.mvm.usace.army.mil/contracting/forms/forms.htm. The Contractor shall submit the logs of the pilot borings including the blow counts, the soil samples and results of sieve analysis tests obtained from the pilot borings with the depths from which samples were obtained, the elevations of changes between materials shall be recorded to the nearest 0.1 foot. The Government will provide the Contractor with a gINT database file into which the Contractor shall enter all the relevant boring data, including top and bottom depths for each sample, sample descriptions as noted on field logs, blow counts, and D85 values as determined from sieve tests. Upon completion, the Contractor shall provide all databases developed using the gINT program. The work sheets and databases shall become the property of the Government on acceptance and payment. All work sheets shall be delivered to the Government on tests performed before payment is made for the tests. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide all sieve analyses data through a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet provided by the Government for each boring.
