approximately equal net penetration (a minimum
distance of one m 3 feet for friction piles), and P
is the weight of the pile in [kg] [pounds]. If P is
less than W, P/W shall be taken as unity.
Dynamic pile stresses should not exceed the crushing
strength of piles.
**************************************************************************
Pile driving records
Submit complete and accurate pile driving records of installed
piles to Contracting Officer within 15 calendar days after
completion of pile driving. Make pile driving records available
to the Contracting Officer at the job site, within 24 hours after
each day of pile driving. Pile records shall be as specified in
Part 3.
1.3
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Each treated pile shall be branded, by the producer, in accordance with
AWPA M6. Submit the inspection report of an independent inspection agency,
approved by the Contracting Officer, stating that offered products comply
with applicable AWPA Standards.
1.4

BASIS OF BID
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Choose one of the following options.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Use this option if unit pricing IS NOT
required. Where more than one length of pile is
required, numbers of piles and their lengths shall
be clearly designated on the drawings.
**************************************************************************
[Base bids on the number, circumference, and length of piles from tip to
cutoff as indicated. Test piles shall be [1.5 m] [5 feet] [_____] longer
than bid length piles. From the data obtained as a result of driving the
test piles [and conducting load tests], the Government will determine and
list the calculated pile tip elevations [and the driving resistances] for
all piles. The Government reserves the right to take up to 3 working days
to review test pile driving records and take up to 3 additional working
days to review and approve the contractor prepared schedule of pile lengths
and locations. Use this list as the basis for ordering piles. Do not
order production piles to receipt of the above information from the
Government. Should the total number of piles or number of each length vary
from that specified as the basis for bidding, the contract will be adjusted
in accordance with "FAR 52.243-4, Changes." Adjustment in contract price
