2.1 TECHNICAL
APPROACH
The basic approach for the proposed geotechnicai investigatior
will consist of several hers of inter-related study which will bring
together the tasks described in the scope of work. Initially, it wil'
be important to expand our understanding of the entire project as ii
relates to physical requirements and limitations in layout design
construction methods, and other project constraints.
For our work, we will implement a strategy for the subsurfacc
explorations along the pipeline alignments utilizing existing geo
conventional brings. Geotechnical and analylical laborator
testing will be performed to characterize both soil and ground
P water. Groundwater sampling will be performed 'using a Hydro
Punchm. Groundwater dewatering pump tests will be performec j . ... to evaluate hydraulic characteristics for construction dewatering.
We understand that conventional cut and cover construction ma:
be planned for much of the pipeline alignments. However, due tc
the presence of existing buried utilities, street and propeq

Groundwater dewatering pump tests are specifically suited to tl
determination of transmissivity and storativity in confined a
unconfined aquifers. Whereas laboratory tests provide specif
values of the hydrogeological parameters for discrete soil sampl
and piezometers provide localized in situ groundwater measurc
provide in situ measurements that are averaged over a large aquifi
Following our fieid exploration and laboratory testing prograr
groundwater dewatering pump tests will be performed at foi
selected locations along the pipeline alignments to provide data fc
OUT dewatering analysis. In order to characterize the hydraul
properties of the three anticipated geologic units within the potet
tial dewatering zone (sandy portion of the terrace deposits, bas
gravel layer of the terrace deposits, and Santiago Formation si1
stondsandstone), we plan to install a dewatering and observatic
well cluster at each testing location. The well cluster will consi
of four small-diameter wells. Three of the wells will be co.
structed as sealed observation wells to isolate and test each of tk
geologic strata.
Following drilling, construction and development of the wells, tt
dewatering well will be pumped and the three sealed observatic
wells will monitor drawdown and recovery at a distance of abo
10-feet from the extraction well. Tests will be monitored by a da
logger to continually record .the piezometric level in each we
constant-rate pumping test, and a recovery test. We will utili:
either the Theis or Jacob methods to determine aquifer coefficien!
whichever is deemed more appropriate.
We have assumed that the well clusters will be located in are
with no groundwater contamination and that an NPDES waivc
will be granted to allow discharge of the pumped groundwater in
the municipal sewer system. We have not prepared an estimate I
the anticipated volumes of groundwater to be pumped at this time

Woodward-Clyde is an international consulting firm that has
achieved prominence as a leader in geotechnical engineering.
Founded in California in 1950 as a geotechnical and materials
testing firm, the company has grown to more than 80 offices
throughout the United States and abroad Engineering News-Rec-
ord has listed Woodward-Clyde among the top 50 U.S. design
firms since it began that listing in 1965.
As demonstrated by the discussions presented above in the execu-
tive summary, scope of work, and project personnel list, Wood-
ward-Clyde is technically qualified to perform the proposed
geotechnicd investigation for the project. ~n our opinion, no other
company in southern California has as much qualifLing experience
in geotechnical engineering for pipelines. Our ability to under-
stand project needs and requirements in combination with main-
taining current in developing construction technologies sets us
apart from our competition.
Woodward-Clyde has performed services for some of the most

EXPERIENCE
Our local experience and
geologic datu base is
unparaf'efed in the
region*
Woodward-Clyde has
performed numerous
engineering servicesfor
local projects.
Woodward-Clyde has been operating in the local area for near1
40 years. Woodward-Clyde has performed geotechnical and env
ronmental engineering services for over 15,000 projects in Sl
Diego County, over 100 projects in the City of Carlsbad, and ovc
12 projects within a one mile radius of the proposed pipelir
alignments. We believe our local experience and geologic da
base is unparalleled in the region.
Woodward-Clyde has performed numerous engineering servicc
for local projects owned by the City and clients in Carlsbad. The
projects include the existing (3,100-foot) and under constructio
(2,500-foot) Carlsbad Boulevard seawalls; the Batiquitos Lagoa

The distributed cost for Task 5 (Groundwater Dewatering Pump Tests) in Section t
have been incorrectly presented. The breakdown should be $16,706 (37.5% share) a
$27,844 (62.5% share) for Part I and Part 11, respectively. Thus, the total cost for Pa
is 531,686 and Part I1 is $73,623.
Costs for additional pumping tests may be assumed to be $11,137 each if perforrr

CONTINGENCY PLAN
We suggest that an additional 10 percent contingency reserve on our fees be secured by th
CMWD in the event that expenditures not anticipated, as described above, may be coverec
Under this plan, Woodward-Clyde would be required to submit a detailed explanation ant
itemized cost breakdown in order to be authorized any payments from the contingenc
reserve. At this time, we expect that the majority of the contingency reserve would be use
for hauling, treating, and disposal pumped groundwater by Soil-Wash Technologies, Inc. at
rate of 30 cents per gallon. Assuming a roughly 40,000 gallons of water to be disposed th
added cost would be about $12,000.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this Amendment to our proposal to the CMWD an
the City of Carisbad. If you have any questions, please call.
