SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria for this contract are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e are primary. Criteria f-h are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among firms that are essentially technically equal. Primary Selection criteria: a. Specialized experience and technical competence: 1. Demonstrated understanding of wave theory and geophysical processing techniques. 2. Experience and knowledge of various geophysical exploration methods including Seismic Reflection, Seismic Refraction, Sub-Bottom Profiling, Side Scan Radar, Resistivity, Hydrographic Surveys and Magnetics. 3. Demonstrated ability to orally present results and electronically document maps, seismic sections, and other geophysical data using state of the art computer techniques. 4. Demonstrated experience of designing and reviewing blast plans and blast monitoring programs. 5. Working knowledge of geophysical methods suitable for identifying underground and underwater utilities (pipelines) or other structures as well as the ability to image them in detailed profiles, cross-sections and location maps. 6. Demonstrated capabilities within the team to perform subsurface investigations, remote sensing, knowledge of underwater drilling, blasting, and mechanical removal of rock (blasted and un-blasted), dredged material disposal site investigations, sitting a nalysis, dredgability of material and design of marine structures. 7. Demonstrated ability to integrate various geophysical, hydrographic and geological data to create profiles, cross-sections and maps of bedrock structure and sediment thickne ss (isopach) in a marine environment. 8. Demonstrated knowledge of the detailed geology (Stratigraphy and Petrology) of the New York Metropolitan Area with specific emphasis on the sediments and rocks that occur along the navigation channels in the Port of New York and New Jersey. 9. Ability to accurately log (SPT) and classify soils using the Unified Soil Classification in association with the Burmister method to quantify minor components. 10. Ability to describe the lithology of core samples in detail and to document factors (i.e. fractures) that may determine if a rock formation is dredgable without blasting or pre-treatment. 11. Proven ability to supervise drill crew in acquiring standard penetration test data (SPT Borings) in a marine environment. 12. Demonstrated experience in determining the dredgability of material based on geophysical and geological properties. 13. Demonstrated experience in quantifying dredge material based on disposal criteria. 14.
