Geotechnical Services Sample Clauses
The Geotechnical Services clause defines the responsibilities and scope of work related to the investigation and analysis of soil, rock, groundwater, and other subsurface conditions at a project site. Typically, this clause outlines the requirement for specialized testing, reporting, and recommendations to inform design and construction decisions, such as foundation selection or earthwork planning. By clearly assigning duties and expectations for geotechnical assessments, the clause helps ensure that potential subsurface risks are identified and managed early, reducing the likelihood of costly surprises during construction.
Geotechnical Services. Engineer will obtain all necessary subsurface investigations, tests, reports, and perform related surveys.
Geotechnical Services. When the services of geotechnical engineers are reasonably required for the Project, HISD may elect to have the A/E obtain these services as an Additional Service as provided for in Article 3. Otherwise, HISD shall furnish the services of geotechnical engineers. HISD’s written approval is necessary before the services of geotechnical engineers can be enlisted. Such services may include, but are not limited to, test borings, test pits, determinations of soil bearing values, percolation tests, evaluations of hazardous materials, ground corrosion and resistivity tests, including necessary operations for anticipating subsoil conditions, with reports and appropriate professional recommendations. The A/E shall review the completeness and confirm in writing to HISD the sufficiency of the type of tests and information, whether furnished through the A/E or furnished by HISD.
Geotechnical Services. The requested services consist, in general, of preparation of Geotechnical Reports to address issues relative to construction of new or rehabilitation of existing roadways, flood control channels, parks projects, or airport facilities. Certain related support services as described herein may also be requested. This General Scope of Work exemplifies the types of work that may be required including, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Life cycle costs and rehabilitation/reconstruction methods for pavements
2. Geotechnical design of various foundations and/or retaining structures
3. Embankment restoration and construction considerations
4. Settlement analysis and mitigation
5. Liquefaction evaluation and mitigation
6. In-situ ground improvements and monitoring
7. Dewatering and settlement monitoring
8. Slope stabilization and landslide mapping
9. Grading observation and related testing
10. Soil erosion and sedimentation control and infiltration testing
11. Other design criteria as deemed necessary
Geotechnical Services. Perform and/or review geotechnical reconnaissance of landfill sites and adjacent properties • Refuse slope stability analyses • Perform literature review of previous geological, hydro-geological, and geotechnical investigations • Perform and/or review field geological, and hydro-geological mapping and interpretations • Perform and/or review soil borrow studies, both on-site and off-site, including soil properties and quantities • Perform and/or review subsurface exploration, including subcontracting for drilling or other exploration services • Perform and/or review geophysical investigation, including surface and borehole surveys • Perform and/or review geotechnical and analytical laboratory testing • Perform and/or review subsurface soil condition explorations • Perform and/or review excavation and earthwork observations and recommendations • Perform other geotechnical engineering services as required ATTACHMENT B COST/COMPENSATION

Geotechnical Services a. GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION (19 roadway borings assumed, spaced approximately 750 feet to a 10 foot depth): • Provide a Geotechnical Investigation for the project evaluated by a professional geotechnical engineer Licensed in the State of Texas. The following items will be included in the geotechnical report: soil boring locations, boring logs (TxDOT Wincore output graphs/format), and plan of borings, subsurface exploration procedures, encountered subsurface conditions, field and laboratory test results, description of surface and subsurface conditions, groundwater conditions, analysis and recommendations for settlement and slope stability of the earthen embankments; and culvert bedding, analysis and recommendations for wingwalls, headwalls, and retaining walls, general earthwork recommendations, Swell potential evaluations, Pavement thickness design alternatives with subgrade stabilization, Potential Vertical Rise (PVR) calculations. • The soil borings will be properly backfilled with bentonite chips and a single lift of cold patch asphalt where applicable. The soil samples will be obtained using Shelby tubes and/or split-spoon samplers. Field-testing of soil samples will include pocket penetrometer in the cohesive soils and Standard Penetration Test (SPT) in the cohesionless soils. Texas Cone Penetrations will be performed in the culvert borings at five foot intervals. • Perform appropriate laboratory tests on soil samples recovered from the borings. Laboratory testing will include but not limited to: moisture content, liquid limit, plastic limit, unconfined compression, Texas Triaxial, resilient modulus, and free swell, sulfate testing, and particle size analysis tests, visual classification, dry density, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests, sulfate content tests, lime series analyses. • Provide geotechnical analysis needed for pavement design, foundation design, and slope stability, as required. For retaining walls, Engineer will provide calculations including global stability, sliding, bearing capacity, and overturning and recommendations for minimum footing depth. Where retaining walls will be inundated due to water, a drawdown analysis is required. In addition, retaining wall backfill type shall be specified. • The pavement design will include consideration of traffic loads to be based on the County’s average daily traffic (ADT) projections. The traffic data required includes current and projected traffic counts and truck percentages. The Engineer...

Geotechnical Services. Access and Protection of Property. The Architect/Engineer shall contact the Agency for information regarding access to the site and shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent damage to property, visible and concealed, and shall reasonably restore the site to the condition existing prior to the Architect/Engineer's entry, including, but not limited to, repair of curbs, sidewalks, lawns and plantings unless otherwise agreed to with the Owner.
Geotechnical Services. The Consultant shall be responsible for a complete geotechnical investigation. All work performed by the Consultant shall be in general accordance with the Florida Department of Transportation Soils and Foundation Handbook and other applicable standards, or as otherwise described in this scope of services. Any changes regarding geotechnical standards, policies and procedures shall be discussed on a project-by-project basis. The Consultant shall be responsible for obtaining any permits needed to perform the work. The County will assist in obtaining property owner permission to perform the necessary geotechnical fieldwork.
Geotechnical Services. OFPC will furnish the services of geotechnical consultants when OFPC agrees that such services are necessary. In order to assist OFPC in providing the most constructive information from the geotechnical consultant, the Project Manager will request the Project Architect/Engineer to recommend the scope of work for the geotechnical services by separate correspondence.
