- Description
- All work, including submission of all lab data, shall be completed within 60 calendar days after Contract Award. The Government Representative (GR) will be responsible for locating the boreholes. Flight line clearance and digging permits will need to be obtained by the Contractor before start of drilling operations. For flight line clearances and dig permits contact the USACE HAFB Resident Office for guidance. Be aware that obtaining these permissions requires coordination with multiple organizations at HAFB and may require up to a month to accomplish. The contractor shall obtain and keep an active New Mexico 811 ticket for the duration of drilling, per the New Mexico Excavation Law. 5.1.2.2 Drilling & Sampling: All drilling and soil sampling shall meet the requirements detailed below. A total of Not to Exceed (NTE) 90 linear feet shall be auger drilled. Six holes (AD-15-01 through AD-15-06) shall be auger drilled to 15 feet below ground surface (BGS). See attached boring plan for approximate locations. Drive (SPT) samples shall be taken at 2.5 feet intervals, beginning at the ground surface to 15 feet BGS. One bulk sample shall be collected from the cuttings from two hole designated by the COR (for a total of 2 bulk samples) between 2 feet and 4 feet below ground surface. Exact locations of boreholes will be determined in the field by the Government. 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 of the holes created in natural soils not encountering groundwater shall be backfilled with cuttings. All holes encountering groundwater shall be backfilled with a tremie placed neat cement slurry or bentonite based plugging material. All work shall be performed in an environmentally acceptable manner conforming to existing Federal, State, and Local regulations. All drillers shall be licensed by the state in which work is being performed. Drive sampling (SPT) shall be in accordance with ASTM D 1586, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils. 5.1.2.3 Soils Testing: This specification covers the requirements for laboratory soils testing. All laboratory testing shall be performed at a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) certified laboratory. The laboratory shall comply with ASTM-D-5255, Certification of Personnel Engaged in the Testing of Soil and Rock. It is estimated that 42 SPT samples and 2 Bulk Samples shall be tested. Each SPT sample shall be tested in accordance with ASTM standards for moisture (ASTM D 2216), grain size (ASTM D 422 no hydrometer), liquid limit (ASTM D 4318), plastic limit (ASTM D 4318), and classification (ASTM D 2487). Bulk Samples shall be tested in accordance with ASTM standards for determination of Sulfate Content (ASTM C 1580) and California Bearing Ratio (ASTM D 1883). It is noted that sample sizes may be too small to comply with the referenced ASTM's, this is the only allowable deviation. Each bulk sample is to be used for CBR and sulfate testing. The CBR tests shall be determined by the method of following the procedures of ASTM D 1557, Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of Soil Using Modified Effort, but by varying the blows per layer to produce densities above and below 100% maximum dry density as determined using ASTM D1557. The CBR value shall be determined by plotting three points of Dry Density (all at the same molded water content) versus Corrected CBR using 10, 25, and 56 blows for compaction of molded specimens at each of the three points. A best-fit line shall be plotted through these three points and used to determine the CBR value of the soil for the dry density equivalent to 95% maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557. The bearing ratio reported for the soil is normally the one at 0.100 in. penetration. When the ratio at 0.200 in. penetration is greater, rerun the test. 5.1.2.4 Utility Scrape & Potholing: Develop a cut utilizing a grader approximately 6" deep and 14' wide in accordance with the drawings. All excavation work shall be performed in the presence of the CO or designated Government Representative. Upon completion of making the excavation cut, the Contractor shall visually inspect the cut for discoloration, density change, or other evidence indicating that there is possibly a utility trench transversely crossing the excavation. After the scrape, ten hydraulically excavated utility exploration potholes shall be accomplished in locations agreed upon with the Contracting Officer. Additionally, the contractor shall produce a scaled map and photographs of the results of the utility scrape. Upon notification from the CO the Contractor shall replace all excavated material to the original grade lines and general condition.
