Refer to Site Analysis and Building Requirements Sections for additional site preparation functional program information.
NOTE: Delete the following bracketed paragraphs in this subsection if this information is included in ESR Section A10, Foundations, or if subsurface soil information is not included in the RFP.
[GOVERNMENT PROVIDED GEOTECHNICAL INFORMATION
Subsurface soil information [, including a geotechnical report ][and pile driving analysis] [from projects immediately adjacent to the project site] are included in Part 6.
[The included subsurface information is only for the Contractor's information and is not guaranteed to fully represent all subsurface conditions. The Government will not be responsible for any interpretation or conclusion by the Contractor drawn from the data or information.]
[The included geotechnical report accompanying the subsurface information, such as boring logs or testing reports, is provided only to better convey data or to document observed site conditions. The assumptions, analysis, and recommendations of any accompanying report were developed for preliminary planning purposes only and may not reflect present project requirements. Retain a Geotechnical Engineer experienced and licensed in the geographic region of the project to interpret the Government provided information as related to the Contractor's own design concept and develop geotechnical requirements to support design and construction.]
Anticipate minor variations in subsurface conditions between borings. The Contractor is responsible for costs associated with the site preparation, ground improvement and foundations except as allowed by Contract Clause Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.236-2, "Differing Site Conditions". The Contractor's Geotechnical Engineer must perform additional subsurface investigation/testing as required to adequately determine geotechnical factors including the type and capacity of the project foundations. The Contractor's Geotechnical Engineer is required to evaluate the provided information and any additional information obtained and prepare a report as described in other portions of this RFP. The minimum requirements for the subsurface investigation and report are as required by FC 1-300-09N with associated references.
NOTE: If additional subsurface investigation is known to be required to supplement the Government provided data, include the following paragraph to ensure the scope of the additional investigation is minimally acceptable.
[Perform the soils investigation at the site for use in the design and construction of the new facilities. Perform, at Contractor's expense, subsurface exploration, investigation, testing, and analysisfor the design and construction of features such as the building foundations, pavement section(s), stormwater management facility(ies), and utility structure foundations. Prepare a report including laboratory analysis of samples and recommendations for foundation and pavement design by a Professional Engineer as specified and in accordance with UFC 3-201-01, Civil Engineering.]
As a minimum, the successful bidder's Geotechnical Engineer must perform additional subsurface exploration and supplementary laboratory testing as necessary to support the design concept.]
NOTE: If there are any unusual conditions existing on the site or anticipated during construction, identify them below. Choose the following bracketed paragraph example, if applicable to the project and describe the project-specific unusual conditions using similar detail as used in the example.
[Observed site conditions which may present a challenge during design/construction include - The soils that will be exposed after completion of stripping will be soft and at or near the groundwater elevation. Anticipate these marginal subgrade support conditions and incorporate measures into the design and construction procedures to obtain required soil support while maintaining progress for completion on schedule.][____]
[Provide personnel under the supervision of a registered Professional Engineer to inspect excavations and soil/groundwater conditions throughout construction. The Engineer is required to perform pre-construction and periodic site visits throughout construction to assess site conditions. The Engineer, with the concurrence of the Contractor and the Contracting Officer, is required to update the excavation, sheeting, shoring and dewatering plans as construction progresses to reflect actual site conditions and is required to submit the updated plan and a written report (with professional stamp) at least monthly informing the Contractor and Contracting Officer of the status of the plan and an accounting of Contractor adherence to the plan; specifically addressing any present or potential problems. The Engineer must be available to meet with the Contracting Officer at any time throughout the Contract duration. Provide the services of the Engineer at no additional cost to the Government.]] [It is important to note that the presence of loose or compressible soils may result in excessive settlement that could impact the performance of surface bearing structures and supporting facilities such as foundations, slabs, pavements, sidewalks, and utilities. The magnitude and duration of consolidation settlement will be dependent on the composition, depth, and thickness of the compressible soils as well as the successful bidder's design concept. The Contractor's Geotechnical Engineer is responsible for evaluating potential global settlement due to designed grade increases and final structural loads. The Contractor's Geotechnical Engineer must develop any settlement mitigation procedures (such as preloading, surcharging, fill monitoring programs, and ground improvement systems) needed to maintain global settlements within tolerable limits. Surcharge material, if required, must remain in place for a minimum of 90 days.]
