G
As much as possible, procedures, practices, and tests, shall conform to ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) standards.
Geotechnical engineering services include conducting independent technical reviews of geotechnical design elements, review of 3rd party submittals, bearing capacity and settlement determination, pavement recommendations for ground vehicles and aircraft, drainage and dewatering, slope stability, earth pressures for retaining structures, and foundation recommendations for a wide range of structures to include medical facilities, airfield facilities, military base housing, administrative facilities, communication facilities, and utility infrastructure.
The services will primarily be for use with designs generated by TAM staff or in support of smaller specialty projects for CENTCOM Area of Responsibility customers. The locations will likely be new development, isolated for the most part from existing major design or construction programs.
Contract duration is estimated at five (5) years.
The estimated total capacity is $9,000,000.
NAICS code is 541380.
