Geotechnical Engineering Services. A. The Designer, together with the geotechnical engineer, upon assessing information provided by the subsurface explorations, shall provide the following geotechnical services as BASIC SERVICES: i) Foundation design criteria to include engineering design parameters and settlement analyses for shallow spread footings, mat foundations, driven piles, drilled piers (caissons), auger cast piling, pressure injected footings (PIFs), and other foundation systems. ii) Settlement and subsidence analysis to include analyzing loose granular deposits for liquefaction potential, calculating consolidation settlement in soft clay and organic deposits under new earth embankment or area fill. iii) Earth retaining structures and reinforced earth (i.e., cantilever systems, tied-back walls, gravity retaining walls, and other earth retention systems). iv) Slope design to include soil and rock stability. v) Requisite construction administration services relating to foundation, underslab utilities within the building footprint, and retention systems work (i.e., field observations, review and approval of relevant submittals, preparation of responses to relevant RFIs (Requests for Information), review of substructure related tests, verification of design intent, and other similar activities). B. The following shall be considered ADDITIONAL SERVICES: i) Subsurface explorations, including but not limited to: soil borings, test pits, percolation tests, observation xxxxx, geothermal xxxxx, mapping of existing underground utilities and appurtenances (active, inactive and abandoned), and detrimental conditions, including but not limited to: buried foundations, dump sites, hazardous materials, peat, ledge, and other elements that may impact proposed new construction. ii) Where hazardous materials are suspected, discovered and/or known to exist, the procurement of the services of a Licensed Site Professional (LSP) to analyze such materials and recommend appropriate remediation. Analyses shall not be performed by a geotechnical engineer, unless she/he is also an LSP. iii) Services related to on-site instrumentation and monitoring of the installation of deep foundations, including but not limited to: driven piles, drilled piles, and pressure-injected footings (PIFS), to the extent these are incorporated into the final design.

Geotechnical Engineering Services. The types of geotechnical engineering services that the Xxxx Xxxxxx may be required to provide for the project specific Task Orders include the following: • Conducting soil and rock boring, soil sampling and other geotechnical investigation services. • Preparing field and laboratory reports based on information obtained from the provision of geotechnical investigation services required by project specific Task Orders in accordance with current applicable American Society for Testing and Materials, American Association of State Highway/Transportation Officials, California Building Code and Caltrans standards. • Providing recommendations for pavement sections, foundation designs, retaining wall designs, slope stability analysis and other relevant project recommendations.

Geotechnical Engineering Services. 12.1 Geotechnical Investigation • Soil investigations, including field and laboratory tests, borings, related engineering analysis and recommendations for determining soil conditions will be made. In addition to the above investigations, borings and appropriate field and laboratory analysis will be made at reasonable intervals along the project alignment for the Contractor’s use in determining soil conditions for Roadway reconstruction and retaining wall recommendations. • A total of ten (10) soil borings, spaced approximately 500’ apart, will be provided to a depth of 8 to 25 feet within the proposed roadway and water line alignments, and will be located by ENGINEER and reviewed by the City’s project manager.

Geotechnical Engineering Services. (a) The geotechnical investigations will be directed by a licensed professional geotechnical engineer. (b) Subsurface exploration will be performed by a driller. On certain projects, the Authority may require the services of a geologist. (c) The test descriptions listed in Section 4. (d) below may either be contained in the ASTM, ASHTO, TxDOT, or other standard procedures or determined to be additional tests that the Contractor may be required to perform. (d) Depending on the requirements of a task order, the following tests may be required to complete a Geotechnical study, design, or evaluation: (1) Atterberg Limits; moisture content determination; specific gravity; shrinkage limits; grain size analysis; standard or modified compaction tests; permeability tests; consolidation tests; shrink and swell pressure tests; direct shear; triaxial compressions tests; unconfined compression tests; relative density; CBR tests, or other tests, as appropriate. (e) Typical geotechnical investigations for Authority projects will involve continuous sampling, to the extent possi- ble, using a thin-walled tube in soils and a double-tube core barrel in rock. Wireline sampling may be required for some projects. The boreholes must be backfilled with a bentonite cement mixture and their locations and elevations referenced, respectively, to Texas state plane coordinates and USGS datum. Boreholes on some projects may be converted to groundwater observation xxxxx. Standard laboratory tests will be required to identify and classify the materials and to determine their strength and deformation characteristics. On some projects, special tests, such as hardness and abrasivity, may be required. Written reports must be prepared that contain facts (such as laboratory test results and subsurface exploration observations), interpretations (such as shrink/swell potential, stratography, geologic structural features and the presence of groundwater) and recommendations (such as excavation methods, preferred pipe bedding materials, influence of groundwater, influence of adjacent structures, preferred types of foundations, allowable loads, and permissible slopes) appropriate for the type of investigation. The reports will contain project location maps, boring location maps, geotechnical (geological) profiles, boring logs and other exhibits, as required. Reports, including text, boring jogs and figures, will be submitted on diskettes and as bound paper documents.
