Attachment B Page 14 of 27 Driving/Auger Cast Pile inspection, relevant to the foundation type(s) required in the plans. Schedule meetings and facilitate communications between the Contractor and any Specialty Contractors, the CEI, and the DGE as needed. Observe and verify that all work is performed.in accordance with the contract documents. Assure that any specialty work is completed as necessary to accomplish its intent. The following geotechnical engineering services shall be performed: 1) Drilled Shafts: • Process and review the Drilled Shaft Installation Plan in accordance with CPAM. • Schedule a pre -drilled shaft installation meeting to review and discuss the drilled shaft installation procedures. Make sure that the Contractor's field superintendent, CEI's drilled shaft inspector(s), and the DGE are invited. Prepare and distribute meeting minutes to the attendees. • Inspect installation of test holes (methods shafts), load test shafts, and production shafts and ensure they are constructed in accordance with the plans, specifications, and special provisions for the Construction Contract. Report to the DGE any problems observed during the installation of the test holes, deviations from the Drilled Shaft Installation Plan or contract documents, and construction quality issues associated with the Contractor's methods. • If there are pilot holes in the project, advise the DGE on the pilot hole schedule. Verify the pilot hole locations. Inspect the performance of the pilot holes and complete the proper FDOT inspection form, describing accurately the soils/rocks encountered and corresponding depths, the results of field testing performed (Standard Penetration Test blow counts, Cone Penetration Tests, or other, if applicable) and the results of the rock coring performed (coring time, recovery and RQD). • Analyze the load test data, pilot holes and any other available soils/rock data as required to establish final drilled shaft tip elevations and minimum rock socket lengths. Submit report(s) recommending production shaft tip elevations, minimum rock socket lengths and any other recommendations that may be required in the project (such as rock socket material definition and impact of permanent or temporary casing on the required minimum socket lengths) to the DGE for approval. • Inspect the bottom of the shafts for cleanliness using manual soundings or shaft inspection device as required in the contract documents. • Complete all necessary drilled shaft inspection forms and keep a log of all inspections made of the shafts. Observe the performance of any load tests and verify that the details are implemented as planned. • Provide completed drilled shaft inspection forms for all production and test shaft installations to the DGE upon completion of the drilled shaft installation. • When conditions occur which are different from those indicated on the plans, immediately report them to the Geotechnical Engineer of Record and the DGE. Recommend adjustments to the authorized depths as necessary to obtain the shaft capacity to the DGE for approval. • Review the drilled shaft logs and the concrete placement logs to identify possible shaft integrity problems and potential causes. Communicate identified issues to the DGE. Rev. 2/11/2021
