any substantial way the scope, quality or performance of the Works; (ii) which limits
in any substantial way, inconsistent with the Bidding Documents, the Employer’s
rights or the bidder’s obligations under the Contract; (iii) adoption/rectification
whereof would affect unfairly the competitive position of other bidders presenting
substantially responsive bids. Only substantially responsive bid shall be considered
for further evaluation.

26.3 If a bid is not substantially responsive, it may not subsequently be made responsive
by correction or withdrawal of the non-conforming material deviation or reservation.
The Employer may, however, seek confirmation/ clarification in writing which shall
be responded in writing.

IB.27 Correction of Errors

27.1 Bids determined to be substantially responsive will be checked by the Employer for
any arithmetic errors. Errors will be corrected by the Employer as follows:

(a) Where there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in

words, the amount in words will govern; and
(b) Where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item
total resulting from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit
rate as quoted will govern, unless in the opinion of the Employer there
is an obviously gross misplacement of the decimal point in the unit
rate, in which case the line item total as quoted will govern and the
unit rate will be corrected.

27.2 The amount stated in the Letter of Price Bid will be adjusted by the Employer in
accordance with the above procedure for the correction of errors and with the
concurrence of the bidder, shall be considered as binding upon the bidder. If the
bidder does not accept the corrected Bid Price, his Bid will be rejected, and the Bid
Security shall be forfeited in accordance with IB.15.6 (b) hereof.

IB.28 Evaluation and Comparison of Bids

(19)
28.1 The Employer will evaluate and compare only the Bids determined to be substantially
responsive in accordance with Clause IB.26.

28.2 In evaluating the Bids, the Employer will determine for each Bid the evaluated Bid
Price by adjusting the Bid Price as follows:
(a) Making any correction for errors pursuant to Clause IB.27;

(b) Excluding Provisional Sums and the provision, if any, for

contingencies in the Summary Schedule of Quantities, but including
competitively priced Day work; and
(c) Making an appropriate adjustment for any other acceptable variation or
deviation.

28.3 The estimated effect of the price adjustment provisions of the Conditions of Contract,
applied over the period of execution of the Contract, shall not be taken into account in
Bid evaluation.

28.4 If the Bid of the successful bidder is seriously unbalanced in relation to the
Employer’s estimate of the cost of work to be performed under the Contract, the
Employer may require the bidder to produce detailed price analyses for any or all
items of the Bill of Quantities to demonstrate the internal consistency of those prices
with the construction methods and schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price
analyses, the Employer may require that the amount of the Performance Security set
forth in Clause IB.32 be increased at the expense of the successful bidder to a level
sufficient to protect the Employer against financial loss in the event of default of the
successful bidder under the Contract.

3.13 No additional payment for water level observations

The Contract Unit Rates for drilling and boring shall be deemed to include the cost of
taking and recording all water levels as specified in Clause 3.10.

3.14 Backfilling of holes

Boreholes shall be backfilled with grout as explained below or as directed by the

Engineer: -

Grouting for backfilling holes shall consist of a mud formed by mixing one part by
weight of bentonite with 10 parts of water, to which shall be added two parts by
weight of cement after the bentonite and water have been thoroughly mixed.
Alternatively, holes may be backfilled with purpose- made pellets of bentonite or
bentonite/cement, provided they are of a size which, in the opinion of the Engineer is
compatible with the size of hole. If there is no standing water in the hole, grout may
be poured in from the top. If there is standing water in the hole, the grout shall be fed
into the bottom of the hole by a tremie pipe, the end of which shall always be below
the groundwater junction while grouting is being carried out.

Grout backfill shall be taken up to 30 cm below the original ground level. Any
apparent loss of grout due to leakage or consolidation within one week shall be made-
up with fresh grout and then the remaining depth of the hole shall be filled with

designation D 2487-85. All depths and thicknesses of topsoil and strata shall be
recorded in meters and all reduced levels shall be recorded in meters with respect to
mean sea level.

3.16 Contractor’s responsibility for records

(76)
 The presence of the Engineer or any of his staff and their keeping separate drilling
records shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibilities for keeping
records.

4. DRILLING

4.1 Depth of drilling

Drilling will be done to a maximum required depth at a minimum nominal hole size
of 6 inches or as approved by the Engineer; boreholes shall be continued as drill holes
when directed by the Engineer.

4.2 Accuracy of alignment of drill holes

Drill holes shall be within 1 degree of the required angle

4.3 Drilling plant

Drilling rigs shall be of the hydraulic feed type capable of using a rotary cutting tool,
tipped with diamonds or other hard material and casing shall conform to B.S. 4019;
Part I; 1974 or ASTM-2113-84 or an approved equivalent.

4.4 Drilling/ Boring procedure

The method of drilling may be any approved standard and accepted method of
straight rotary drilling/wash boring or the combination of two methods by means of
which a hole of specified diameter is extended to the desired depth. Rotary cum wash
boring method of drilling shall be used in soils or overburden for the purpose of
advancing the hole by washing the interval between designated depths at which
sampling and testing is to be undertaken.

During drilling the Contractor shall regulate the drilling at such speeds and control,
the drilling fluid at such pressures which will ensure the minimum disturbance in the
underlying material in which the in situ testing and sampling is to be carried out.

4.5 Drilling Procedure, Core Recovery (Boulders / Rocky Strata)

Drilling in rock/ hard strata shall be for the purpose of recovering cores. Drilling shall
be carried out in such a manner and using such sizes of bits, that the maximum of
core is recovered. This requires close surveillance of flushing media, drilling
pressures, lengths and runs and all other factors relevant to the nature of the material
drilled. The drill bit shall be withdrawn and the core removed as often as may be
necessary to secure the maximum possible amount of core. In soft or friable
formations dry drilling techniques may be required using single tube core barrels with
tungsten carbide bits as directed by the Consultant’s Representative. Length of Coring
Runs (Boulders / Rocky Strata)

(77)
4.6 Coring Runs

Coring runs shall be limited to a maximum depth as mentioned in Bidding Data/ Bill
of Quantities or as directed by the Consultant’s Representative. When less than 80
percent of the core is recovered from a run the length of the following run shall be
reduced to 50 per cent of the previous length unless otherwise directed by the
Consultant’s Representative.

4.7 Casing Advance

In all boreholes, casing shall be advanced in sequence with each run.

4.8 Removal of Cores on Blocking (Boulders / Rocky Strata)

The core shall be removed from the drill hole immediately if blocking of the bit or
grinding of the core is apparent, regardless of the length of run which has been made.

4.9 Flushing Media

Clean water shall be the flushing medium in the drill holes unless the Engineer’s
Representative directs that bentonite mud shall be used.

4.10 Unusual Coring Experiences (Boulders/Rocky Strata)

As the function of drilling includes determination of width, orientation, extent and

spacing of fissures, fractures or voids, the Contractor shall exercise particular care in
recording water losses, artesian pressures, rod jerks or any other unusual coring
experiences which will supplement the core record and further document the nature
and extent of fracturing or voids.
4.11 Drilling through Gravels in Rock (Boulders / Rocky Strata)

Where gravels are encountered within the bedrock the Contractor may cross the full
depth of the gravel bed by using core drilling. Accurate record of these strata should
be kept.

4.12 Stabilizing holes in loose soil

Drilling mud of suitable consistency shall be used to stabilize the walls of bore holes
and to prevent caving and disturbance of the materials to be sampled. The drilling
mud shall be a mixture of bentonite and water with approved chemical additives if
required, to assist in modifying its density and viscosity.

Where drilling mud is not effective, casing of appropriate size and strength may be
used subject to the approval of the Engineer. It will be the responsibility of the
contractor to use appropriate means to stabilize the walls of the boreholes. The level

(78)
 of drilling mud shall at all time be maintained at the top of the borehole.

It shall be ensured that there is no jetting action of the drilling fluid. The minimum
amount of drilling fluid necessary to carry away the cuttings shall be used. During
drilling the Contractor shall regulate the pressure of the drilling fluid to ensure
minimum disturbance in the underlying material in which the in situ testing and
sampling is to be carried out.

5. SAMPLING

5.1 General

The Contractor shall take samples from any hole when ordered to do so by the
Engineer. This shall include the provision of all necessary sampling equipment, tubes
and containers crates and boxes, as well as handling and transportation to the
approved laboratory or store.

5.2 Approval of equipment

No equipment or containers shall be used unless approved by the Engineer.

5.3 Care of samples

The Contractor shall be responsible for the safe keeping of samples of all kinds until
they have been handed over to the Engineer or disposed off on the Engineer’s
instructions as the case may be. Any sample damaged or showing signs of
deterioration while in the Contractor’s care shall be replaced by the Contractor at no
expense to the Engineer as specified by the Engineer. All samples shall be prepared
and packed as quickly as possible after removal from the ground to preserve the
natural condition of the soil.
5.4 Numbering of samples

be clearly labeled. Each label shall include the following information:-

a) Name of Contract

b) Reference number of the hole

c) Reference number of the sample

(79)
 d) Date of sampling

e) Brief description of the sample (e.g. stiff blue silty clay)

f) Depth of the top and bottom of the sample below ground level.

g) Number of the sampler tube.

Tubes and crates for undisturbed samples shall be labeled ‘Do not jar or vibrate’ and
‘Haul and transport in a horizontal position’.

5.6 Small disturbed soil samples

In all the holes, small, disturbed samples shall be taken at the top of each stratum, and
at intervals as directed by the Engineer. Material from the cutting shoes of open drive
undisturbed samples, and from the split spoon sampler used for Standard penetration
tests shall also be taken as disturbed samples.

Disturbed samples shall be truly representative of the composition of the in situ soil.
When the samples have been taken from the hole, they shall be placed without delay
in airtight container of not less than 1 kg capacity. The container shall be labeled in
accordance with Clause 5.5

5.7 Field moisture content samples

Field moisture content samples shall be taken with (and separate from) each small
disturbed sample or as otherwise directed by the Engineer. The samples shall be
placed in airtight containers immediately after sampling. One sample shall be enough
to fill the container.

They shall be kept wrapped in damp cloths in boxes and delivered to the laboratory
within twenty four hours of sampling or as directed by the Engineer.

5.8 Open drive undisturbed sampling in holes

Contractor shall clean the hole to the prescribed sampling elevation by means of
rotary drilling or washing ensuring that the material to be sampled is not disturbed by
the drilling and clean out operation. To minimize the compacting effect of casing
driving the bottom of the casing shall be kept as high above the soil zone to be
sampled as the conditions permit. Above the water table samples shall be obtained
from a dry hole. Below the water table, water shall be maintained within the hole at
or above groundwater level.

Sampling with the open drive sampler (Shelby tube) will consist of lowering the
sampler to the bottom of the hole and forcing the thin walled cylindrical tube into the
soil in one continuous push, without rotation, using the hydraulic feed and weight of
the drill rig. The sampling tube shall not be hammered into the material being
sampled. The length of the undisturbed sample thus shall not be less than 30 cm.

5.9 Withdrawing the sampler

(80)
 Before withdrawal of an open drive sampler the sampler shall (if practicable) be
rotated through one complete revolution to shear the soil horizontally at the bottom of
the sampler. The sampler shall then be withdrawn smoothly so as to cause the
minimum disturbance to the sample. The total length of the sample shall be measured
and recorded and, if any of the soil has fallen out of the bottom of the tube, this fact
shall also be recorded.

5.10 Unsuccessful open drive sampling

There shall be no payment for a failure to obtain an open drive undisturbed sample
and will be paid if the sample recovered is not less than 5 inch long, or the Engineer
is satisfied that the failure was in no way caused by negligence of the Contractor.

5.11 Undisturbed sampling with Pitcher/Denison sampler

When directed by the Engineer the Contractor shall core in drill holes with
Pitcher/Denison sampler. The Pitcher/Denison sampler shall be capable of recovering
cores with minimum diameter of NX size and a minimum length of 60 cms.
Sampling with Pitcher sampler will consist of lowering it to the bottom of the hole
and rotation coring in the normal manner. After completion of the drive, the sampler
shall be withdrawn from the hole, extreme care being taken to avoid disturbance. The
liners containing the core shall be separated from the barrel without jarring the core.
The maximum possible length of core shall be obtained through each sampling
operation. The core sample shall not be removed from the liner. The soil in the liner
at the ends shall be trimmed to a depth of about 2 inches to a smooth flat surface,
which shall be painted with warm liquid wax. A wooden filler block previously
waxed shall be placed inside the liner tube at each end and covered with melted wax.
The soil retained in the inner shoe and that removed from the top of the core shall be
used for field identification and moisture content determination when directed by the
Engineer.

The samples shall be labeled in accordance with Clause 5.5 and will be stored in the
manner prescribed for undisturbed samples in Clause 5.14.

5.12 Sealing, labeling and storing undisturbed samples

After removing the cutting shoe and the adaptor head with the disturbed material
which they contain, the visible ends of the sample shall each be trimmed of any wet
disturbed soil and then immediately coated with not less than four layers of just
molten microcrystalline wax or other similar material approved by the Engineer. A
metal foil disc 0.6 inch greater diameter than the tube shall then be added and
followed by more molten wax to give a total thickness of not less than 1 inch. Any
space remaining in the ends of the sample tube shall be filled with damp sawdust or
other material approved by the Engineer and the ends of the sample tube shall be
covered with tight fitting plastic caps.

The sample tube shall immediately be labeled in accordance with Clause 5.5. A

(81)
 second label giving the same information shall be placed inside the sample tube at the
top end.

The sample tubes shall be protected from adverse effects of the weather and must be
stored as per ASTM standard.

5.15 Core Boxes

The Contractor shall provide wooden boxes for preserving cores. The cores boxes
with two (2) cm thick partition shall be of sound construction made of two (2) cm
thick good quality timber free of rot, knots and other defects. The timber shall be
treated with termite resistant chemicals such as Shelldrite or equivalent. The bottoms
shall be screwed on and covers shall be hinged and provided with screw plates and
screws to keep the cover closed. Partitions shall be arranged for convenient marking
and interpretation of cores. Partitions may be placed in the field to accommodate the
size of cores being taken so that continuous core may be available for each drill hole
in any one box even if the core size is changed. The core boxes shall become the
property of the Consultant/Client when the core has been permanently placed therein.
5.16 Cores

The cores obtained from drill holes shall be carefully removed from the core barrel by
means of a hydraulic or pneumatic core extruder and placed on plastic sheeting in
core boxes. The plastic sheeting shall then be wrapped over the top of the core and
sealed with adhesive tape so as to preserve its moisture. Field moisture samples shall
be taken as directed by the Consultant’s Representative.

Core shall be placed in the boxes in the correct sequence, with increasing depth from
left to right in the box and from the hinged side to the hasp side of the box.

Fractured material which can be reassembled to form clearly defined core shall be
reassembled and packed securely. Material which does not conform to the definition
of core shall be spread throughout its length and packed securely. Core losses shall be
shown by wooden blocks of a square cross section of approximately the same area
and of a length equal to that of the core lost; these should be inserted immediately
after the core is placed in the core box.

Each core run shall be segregated by labelled wooden blocks 2.5 cm thick and the
depth of the bottom of each run shall be marked on the partitions in the core box with
paint.

No box shall contain more than three (3) meters of core.

by the Consultant’s Representative using waterproof jet black paint. The markings
shall include the name of the Contract, the working area, the drill hole number, box
number and the total number of boxes for the drill hole. The same markings shall be
painted inside the lid so as to be read when the lid is open, by someone standing at the

(82)
 hasp side of the box.

5.18 Storing and Disposal of Core Boxes

Before the completion of a drill hole the cores from that hole shall be stored neatly at
the drill hole locations in such a manner that inspection of the cores can be made
easily. The boxes containing the cores shall be stored under cover and protected from
the weather, to the satisfaction of the Consultant’s Representative. The Drilling
Contractor shall transport all boxes containing cores from the site to an approved
agency when directed by the Consultant’s Representative.

5.19 Core Samples

Lengths of core not less than 25 cm and not more than 50 cm long shall be taken for
use as samples for laboratory testing when directed by the Engineer’s Representative.
Such samples shall be cut from the core as it is extruded from the core barrel and a
spacer bearing the sample number shall be placed in the core box.

5.20 Waxing Core Samples

Immediately they are taken core samples shall be cleared of any loose sludge and
coated with microcrystalline wax and cheese cloth or other similar material approved
by the Engineer’s Representative. The coating shall be built up in layers of both wax
and cloth to a total thickness of not less than 25mm in order to seal the samples
against loss of moisture by evaporation. The samples shall then be packed with straw
or sawdust in wooden boxes and transported the same day to the laboratory. The
wooden boxes shall become the property of the Consultant. The samples shall be
stored in the manner prescribed for undisturbed samples in Clause 5.14.

5.21 Labelling Core Samples

The top of the core sample shall be clearly marked before it is waxed and on the
outside of the wax. Labels in accordance with Clause 4.5 shall be placed inside the
wax, outside the wax and on the wooden box.

5.22 Photography of Cores

The Contractor shall take colour photographs (with Digital Camera Device) of the
core boxes containing the cores from vertically above so that the markings on the
inside of the lid and on the partitions and blocks are legible in the photographs. The
plastic wrapping shall be folded back out of sight, and shall be replaced and sealed
again with adhesive tape after the photographs have been taken. A Grey Step wedge
from the Kodak Colour Separation Guide shall be displayed with the cores and shall
be included in each photograph.

The photography shall be taken from a close distance in order to show the core

(83)
 details. If the core has dried out it shall be sprayed lightly or wetted with a damp cloth
to accentuate the colour of the core.

Every month and latest when finishing the Field Works, the Drilling Contractor shall
furnish the electronic files of all pictures taken on core boxes during the field work.

5.23 Water samples

The Contractor shall take water samples from holes when directed by the Engineer,
before the addition of water to the hole unless this is impossible. If necessary the
hole shall be bailed out before taking the sample to ensure that any potential
contaminant is removed. No fuel or other potential contaminant shall be allowed to
enter the hole. The method of sampling shall be to the approval of the Engineer.
Samples shall only be stored in approved airtight and scrupulously clean containers,
and shall not be less than 1.0 liter in volume. Water samples shall be transported to
the approved laboratory.
5.24 Transport of samples

All samples shall be transported to the store at the site the day the sample is collected.
Samples in tubes shall be transported with the tubes in a horizontal position. Selected
samples shall be transported by the Contractor to the laboratory approved by the
Engineer.
Every precaution shall be taken to avoid damage to the undisturbed samples during
transportation. Samples including tube samples shall be transported in wooden boxes
made from 5/8 inch or heavier timber, and with a capacity of holding six (6) samples.
The samples shall be well packed in suitable material to protect the samples against
vibration. The Contractor shall not expose sealed and coated samples to direct
sunlight or extreme temperatures.

6. FIELD TESTING

6.1 Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

When directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall carry out Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) in any type of material. The penetration resistance ‘N’ shall be expressed
as the number of blows of a 140 lbs hammer dropping freely from height of 30 inches
to force the standard split barrel sampler 18 inches into the soil. The penetration
resistance ‘N’ shall be expressed as the number of blows of the hammer required to
force the sampler the last 12 inches into the soil.

Equipment to be furnished by the Contractor for carrying out SPT shall include split
tube sampler, drive shoe with core catcher, ‘A’ or ‘AW’ rods (OD 1.718 inches, ID
1.344 inches) for depth less than 50 ft and ‘N’ or ‘NW’; rods for greater depth, 140
lbs weight donut type hammer, manila rope and free running pulley, guide pipe and
driving head supplies, all casing, pumps, power tools for sampling and containers for
preserving tools for sampling and containers for preserving samples. The anvil in all
respects shall conform to ASTM Designation D 1586-99.

The beveled edge of the drive shoe shall be maintained in good condition and if

(84)
excessively worn, shall be resharpened to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Damaged
or bent drive shoe of the sampler shall not be used; it shall be replaced if damaged in
such a manner as to cause projections within the interior surface of the shoe. A core
catcher consisting of thin flexible flaps which fold back flush with the inner surface
of the sampler during driving shall be fitted above the drive shoe or within the shoe.

Standard penetration tests shall be carried out in the holes as and when directed by the
Engineer during the progress of work. If the Engineer or Contractor has reason to
believe that the hole has entered a layer which consists predominantly of sand or finer
soil, boring shall be stopped after cleaning the bottom of the hole taking utmost care
to bail out all the loosened material which could have remained in the hole from the
zone above the test level. Then rotary rig shall be installed for drilling 4 inches to 6
inches diameter holes, and smaller diameter casing (4 inch – 6 inch) fitted with a
casing bit at the bottom shall be lowered to the bottom of the hole, the hole should
then be drilled using mud and tricone bit or any other bit with upward discharging
device 8 inch below the bottom of the hole. The smaller dia casing shall then be
advanced to this depth by rotating with wrench. If unable to do so with wrench,
rotary rig may be utilized to advance the casing. In no case will the casing be driven
by hammering. Sounding of the hole shall then be made and further drilling, if
required, shall be performed with tricone bit using mud for flushing to ensure the hole
is open to the base of the casing but no deeper. Casing shall remain filled with mud
slurry all the time to the top. During the process of boring, washing or cleaning the
hole, utmost care shall be exercised to ensure that the material to be tested and
sampled has not been disturbed by these operations. The casing shall not be in
advance of the bottom of the hole where the test is to be conducted.

The split barrel sampler attached to drill rod shall then be lowered to the bottom of
the hole. The drive weight shall then be allowed to fall on the anvil freely until the
sampler has penetrated 6 inches into the soil (the seating drive). The penetration test
shall then be started and the number of blows for each 3 inches penetration shall be
recorded until 18 inches penetration is achieved.

In case, the driving of the shoe cannot be achieved even by performing one of the
following efforts:

- A total of 50 blows have been applied during any one of the three 6
inches increments.
- A total of 100 blows have been applied (including the seating drive) or
- There is no observed advance of the sampler during the application of
10 successive blows of the hammer.

Then, the test shall be considered as presenting Refusal to Penetration and shall be
terminated even if the required Penetration of the sampler has not been obtained. In
such cases the number of blows and the penetration attained shall be recorded.
Immediately after each test, the sampler shall be carefully disassembled and any soil
sample collected classified. The most representative portion of the soil sample from
the bottom of the 12 inches drive shall be placed in an airtight container. This soil
sample shall be made for the collection and preservation of such disturbed samples.
The cost of such sampling shall be deemed to be included in the unit rate for
performance of standard penetration test. After performing the first test in this way

(85)
 the hole shall be drilled with tricone bit using mud, and sounding shall be taken to
ensure that the hole is clean to the bottom of the previous test. Then a second SPT
shall be performed in the same manner as described above or undisturbed samples
shall be collected as directed by the Engineer.

During the performance of SPT, including the seating drive, extreme care must be
exercised in obtaining an accurate 30 inches free fall of the hammer. The rod above
the hole collar should be held in vertical position to prevent energy loss due to rod
whip or buckling uniformity must be obtained in all SPTs to be done. The rate of
application of hammer blows should be between 10 and 20 blows/minute.

In case of gravelly soil the SPT shoe should be replaced by the solid cone with apex
at 600 in accordance with BS 5930. (1981)

The test data obtained shall be recorded in the field and shall include the following:

i. Test number and depth

ii. Description of soil

iii. Thickness of layer

iv. Depth of water level; time at which test was made.

v. Number of blows for each 3 inch penetration and total length of penetration.

vi. Penetration resistance ‘N’ value.

Two copies of the field data for each test shall be supplied to the Engineer within 24
hours of completing the test.

7. DAILY FIELD RECORD
