Description
County of Madera is seeking a qualified geotechnical engineering firm to provide professional services for three interconnected road‑rehabilitation and shoulder‑paving projects across the county. The work includes extensive subsurface investigations, soil and material testing, full‑depth reclamation (FDR‑C) cement mix‑design, deflection testing, and hazardous‑material analysis, with deliverables ranging from field reports to final design specifications. The contract will be a cost‑plus‑fixed‑fee agreement lasting up to three years, funded by a mix of federal CMAQ, state SB‑1, and local Measure T monies.
• Perform exploratory borings (~½ mi spacing), core sampling, R‑value and UCS testing, and hazardous‑materials testing (lead, chromium).
• Conduct falling‑weight deflectometer (FWD) and ground‑penetrating radar (GPR) testing, develop FDR‑C mix designs, and optionally provide CIR mix designs.
• Deliver a suite of reports (initial, draft, final), mix‑design documents, traffic‑control plans, and monthly invoices with detailed cost segregation for participating and non‑participating funds.
