Although the maximum task order limit is estimated to be $1,000,000, it is envisioned that most task orders will be less than $300,000. It is envisioned that the average cumulative total for all task orders will be on the order of $1,000,000 per year over five (5) years. The cumulative total of all task orders shall not exceed $5,000,000. The Contractor must be capable of managing and performing multiple technically complex task orders simultaneously, often with critical durations requiring rapid mobilization of resources and turnaround of deliverables, with each task order having a dollar value in the range described above. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The selected firm will be used to supplement the District's capability for providing geotechnical and professional services for planning, design, and construction services in support of the civil works, work for others, and military missions assigned to the District. The use of approved innovative field screening technologies and methodologies are strongly encouraged. Work outside the District's civil works boundaries, which generally include the Delaware River basin, the coastlines of New Jersey and Delaware, and a portion of Maryland may be required. The work will include, but is not limited to the following items: A. Geotechnical Design, Investigations, Testing, and Analysis. These primary efforts shall include, but not be limited to, the following items: (1) Subsurface Explorations, including, but not limited to, soil borings using traditional or direct push methodologies, soil sampling, test pit excavations, rock coring, cone-penetrometer testing, vibrational coring, and geophysical investigations for geotechnical purposes. Soil sampling and rock coring may be conducted either on land or on water; vibrational coring shall be conducted solely on water. Water work may be riverine, bay, inlet, or in the ocean. Land-based drilling may require specialized equipment for soft ground, low headroom, or limited-space conditions. Drillers, A/E staff, and all those involved in site investigations will be required to have fulfilled the 29 CFR 1910.120 OSHA 40-hour basic health and safety training of the job's health and safety plan, including medical monitoring and current 8 hour annual refresher. Supervisors and those tasked with safety and health responsibilities must have completed the 8 hour supervisor's course. Record surveys meeting USACE standards for surveying and mapping of all land and water explorations will be required by a licensed professional surveyor working for the contractor. Record surveys meeting USACE standards for surveying and mapping will be required for locations of all land and water explorations; (2) Instrumentation installation shall include, but not be limited to, the installation, monitoring and data analysis for piezometers, groundwater monitoring wells and inclinometers. This item shall include all appurtenant and essential items and work pertaining to development of piezometers and monitoring wells; Other related primary work shall include: (1) Technical support of field work, for which the contractor shall provide experienced, qualified, degreed engineers, geologists, or other qualified staff approved by the Government for all field work, including subsurface exploration programs and installation of instrumentation. This staff shall be responsible for: logging of soil samples and/or rock cores; handling, labeling, storing, chain of custody and shipping of soil samples, rock cores and environmental samples; coordinating with drillers, utility companies, government, private, and related groups; performing any necessary air monitoring; and laying out explorations as per USACE directions. Staff will be required to have the 29 CFR 1910.120 OSHA 40 hour basic health and safety requirements of the job's health and safety plan, including medical monitoring and current 8 hour annual refresher; (2) visual and laboratory classification, classification testing, index testing, gradation, determination of moisture-density relations, permeability testing, infiltration testing, direct shear testing, triaxial shear testing, unconfined compression testing, consolidation testing, laboratory and field compaction testing, and other physical, deformation, and hydrological property testing. The collection and testing of HTRW contaminated samples may be required. It is not necessary for the geotechnical or HTRW laboratories to be resident in-house. However, the designated geotechnical laboratory test methods must be validated by the USACE Materials Testing Center (MTC); if an analytical laboratory is required, it must also be approved by USACE, as well as possess current Environmental Laboratory Accreditation (NELAC) and comply with the DOD Quality Systems Manual requirements. B. Geotechnical Design. Other secondary efforts may include, but are not limited to, (1) geotechnical design support for embankments and cut slopes, retaining structures, waterfront construction, pavements, sheet pile structures, shallow and deep foundations, slope protection, slope failure analysis and remediation, bank protection, geosynthetics, soil stabilization, ground improvement, site drainage, dewatering and groundwater control, and the preparation of reports on the same. Design work shall include the preparation of drawings on AutoCAD® Version 2017 or later, estimates, and technical specifications according to USACE formats (SPECSINTACT).
