THIS IS A PRESOLICITATION NOTICE ONLY – The Bureau of Reclamation, Office located in Denver, Colorado has a requirement for the innovative use of the Hydraulic Profiling Tool (HPT), High-Resolution K (HRK), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Logging for Optimizing Dewatering System Designs. This requirement The objective of this contract is to acquire a contractor technical service to evaluate the application of a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) logging system for improved subsurface investigations to assist with dewatering system designs in excavations with known experts in the field of subsurface investigation research. This contract is to conduct a research project into the understanding of subsurface site conditions at lower costs with the use of an NMR logging system. While HPT can be used to quickly assess the vertical change in aquifer properties at many locations, the NMR logging is a very efficient approach to measure the hydraulic conductivity (K) of fine-grained materials such as clays and silts due to no water injection. The NMR field logging test is expected to be performed at the Scoggins dam in Oregon, with the option to exercise additional NMR field logging test for the Hyrum dam in Utah, and Altus dam in Oklahoma over the next three years.
