b. Provide recommendations for earthwork and site preparation including suitability of on- <br /> site soils for reuse in trench backfill, placement and compaction of trench backfill, and <br /> mitigation of unsuitable soil conditions. Include an evaluation of the effects of weather <br /> and/or construction equipment on site soils. <br /> c. Perform engineering analyses and provide conclusions and recommendations for <br /> conventional trenching techniques including the following: <br /> • Geotechnical parameters for trench shoring design including lateral pressures, <br /> and partial shoring considerations; <br /> • Excavation and temporary slope considerations; <br /> • Pipe support including bedding and backfilling; and <br /> • Construction dewatering considerations including depth to groundwater <br /> observed during drilling and estimated permeability coefficients based on <br /> laboratory sieve analyses. <br /> • Provide recommendations for erosion control during construction. <br /> Task 5-Geotechnical Communications, Design Report and Meetings <br /> a. Provide a summary of subsurface conditions encountered as information becomes <br /> available. <br /> b. Prepare a written report presenting conclusions and recommendations along with <br /> supporting boring logs, laboratory data, and other appropriate figures. <br /> c. Coordinate boring activities with City's survey consultant to allow consultant time to <br /> field locate borings and ground elevations and order utility locates. <br /> Geotechnical Consultant agrees to provide the following services based upon the RFP: <br /> A. Geotechnical Engineering Services Assumptions <br /> 1. Associated Earth Sciences, Inc (AESI), will contract the services of an Exploration <br /> drilling contractor to obtain soil and shallow groundwater data (if encountered) <br /> by auger borings (maximum depth of 10 feet, up to 7 borings, approximately <br /> every other block). <br /> 2. AESI will apply for the necessary ROW permits prior to the exploration phase. <br /> 3. AESI will only contact the 1-800 utility locate service for locates in the ROW. <br /> 4. AESI will utilize a subcontractor to provide the needed signage and traffic control <br /> for each boring location. <br /> S. No installations piezometers will be made in the borings. <br /> 6. Up to two (2) samples will be tested for corrosion potential according to the <br /> DIPRA standard. <br /> 7. Laboratory testing will include: <br /> • 3 moisture content <br /> • 3 sieve analysis <br /> • 2 moisture density relationship <br /> 8. AESI will provide a soils report that includes boring logs, site plan, laboratory test <br /> results (moisture content, maximum density, particle size distribution, corrosion <br /> 3 <br />
