Architect-Engineer Services for one Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract primarily for Geotechnical Engineering Services within the Ohio River and Great Lakes Division Mission Boundaries.

Activities such as drilling and sampling of soil and rock for engineering investigations, instrumentation installation and evaluation, inspection of geotechnical investigations, laboratory testing (in accordance with ER 1110-2-8150 & ER 1110-1-8100), stability analysis, seepage analysis, geotechnical evaluations and reports, geotechnical field observations and documentation, material investigations and testing, Dam Safety and Levee Safety related activities, geophysical investigations and reports, volume computations, engineering literature searches, geologic field mapping, seismological studies, surveying, the use of geotechnical software to perform geotechnical analyses (e.g. slope stability, seepage, etc.), shallow and deep foundation analysis and design, and safety are anticipated.

Drilling services on land and/or floating plant/barge in rivers may be required. Conventional auger drilling services may include standard penetration sampling, coring, undisturbed sampling, drilling without sampling, instrumentation installation, and may include inspection of the drilling services. Cone penetration testing (CPT) services may also be required and may include pore pressure testing, seismic testing and resistivity testing. Sonic drilling may be required but would be negotiated on an as needed basis.

Site location surveying may be required. Metric dimensions, in whole or part may be required for the authorized projects. Any CADD system may be used, but submittals must be accurately translated to Bentley Open Roads format in conformance to the District CADD standards unless otherwise specified. Provide descriptions your firm’s past experience on related projects, and those projects completed within the last five years which are similar to this project scope..
