Seismic and Fault Hazard Investigation

The contract involves conducting fault trenching, paleoseismic analysis, and seismic hazard modeling to evaluate active fault risks in San Diego, California, in strict alignment with California Geological Survey SP42 and ASCE 7-16 standards. This work is critical for determining the seismic safety of infrastructure projects within the region by identifying the location, history, and potential movement of active faults through field investigations and advanced geotechnical modeling. The project requires expert geological and seismological analysis to generate accurate hazard assessments that support risk-informed decision-making for development and public safety. The contract is designated as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, which categorizes it within engineering services, and is issued by the San Diego Unified Port District. Performance is required at a location in San Diego with a zip code of 92101, indicating the focus is on the immediate coastal and urban areas under the Port District’s jurisdiction. The solicitation was posted on July 8, 2026, and while no solicitation number is provided, the associated project can be referenced through the California Environmental Quality Act portal at the provided link. The effort supports long-term resilience planning by integrating field data with nationally recognized engineering criteria to mitigate seismic vulnerabilities.
