The work may also include field inspection and oversight of geotechnical construction. Optional field investigations would include soil and rock drilling and sampling, groundwater sampling, test pit excavation and installation of instrumentation and monitoring wells. Field geologists and/or soils engineers will be needed on site to log and record field data. Optional laboratory services would include soil and rock testing gore geotechnical purposes. Demonstrate capability to field two drill crews within two weeks of notification. SELECTION CRITERIA: Selection criteria is listed in order of importance. Items (h) through (j) will be used as tiebreakers. a. Professional Capabilities. (1) Demonstrate capability in these primary disciplines: geotechnical, geologist, civil engineers. (2) Professional registration for key disciplines. b. Specialized Capabilities. Present a list of drilling equipment, information on number, and experience of drill crews available. (Cite in block 10 of SF 255). c. Specialized experience and technical competence. In block 8 cite whether the experience is that of the prime (or joint venture), consultant, or an individual.
