Research Array Boreholes Drilling & Infrastructure

The contract involves installation work at the Pinedale Seismic Research Facility in Boulder, Wyoming, a remote site managed by the 75th Civil Engineer Group at Hill Air Force Base in support of the Air Force Technical Applications Center. The scope includes furnishing all necessary documentation, labor, facilities, and materials—excluding those provided by the government—to install seven seismo-acoustic borehole facilities on U.S. Bureau of Land Management lease land. The project is structured into four phases: submitting a BLM-approved project plan, drilling and evaluating a single rock core, drilling and casing seven boreholes, and constructing infrastructure such as a vault, grounding systems, and solar panel support poles. The solicitation, titled "Research Array Boreholes Drilling & Infrastructure," was posted on August 28, 2010, under the NAICS code 213111. The contract point of contacts include Jeremy Grimley as Contract Negotiator and Van B Dusenberry as Contracting Officer, both affiliated with Hill AFB. The work is classified as a presolicitation and does not specify any set-aside requirements. This project supports the Air Force's technical mission by enhancing seismic monitoring capabilities through the installation of specialized borehole infrastructure in a remote Wyoming location.
