Geotechnical Investigation for the Bayside Community Resiliency Project

A geotechnical field investigation is required for the Bayside Community Resiliency Project in Imperial Beach, California, to support engineering and design efforts. The scope includes the execution of 10 geotechnical borings and 21 Cone Penetration Test (CPT) soundings, with each boring drilled to a diameter of 4 to 5 inches and each CPT conducted using a cylindrical friction sleeve of approximately two square feet. All activities will take place between September 15 and October 10, 2025, during weekday business hours only, and must avoid the avian nesting season to protect local ecological resources. Work will be limited to one bore or CPT at a time, eliminating the need for on-site rig staging, and all collected materials will be transported and stored at the City of Imperial Beach’s Public Works Yard. The investigation must strictly conform to the findings of two key reports: the Bore Site Rare Plant Survey Results from November 2024 and the Archaeological Resources Management Report from March 2025, ensuring avoidance of sensitive plant habitats and cultural resources. Any disruption to multi-use paths or trails requires advance signage and public notification at least one week prior, with pathways required to remain accessible during weekends and outside core work hours. The City of Imperial Beach is the lead agency responsible for issuing a Special Use Permit, while the Port of San Diego will provide a Right of Entry permit and Conditional Project Approval. No contract value, pricing details, or formal federal acquisition clauses have been established, as this document serves as a forecast rather than a finalized solicitation.
