(12) The City may reject a Quotation if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Quotation is materially unbalanced. A Quotation is materially unbalanced when:
a) it is based on prices which are significantly less than cost for some items of work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other items of work; and
b) the City had determined that the Quotation may not result in the lowest overall cost to the City even though it may be the lowest submitted Quotation; or

1 DESCRIPTION Geotechnical, hydrogeological and geo-environmental investigations are required to provide input related to the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Sanitary Trunk Sewer (STS) located between an existing sewer at Finch Avenue West and the Humber Sewer Treatment Plant. In connection with this project, there are also a series of new Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) tanks proposed. It is expected that much of the sewer will be constructed using tunneling methods. The plan involves the new STS alignment as follows:
(1) The sewer will run north to south along Keele Street extending from an existing sewer at Finch Avenue West to Weston Road at Gunns Road. This portion is approximately ten (10) kilometres in length.
(2) From Weston Road at Gunns Road, the sewer will then continue westward for approximately four (4) kilometres along the Ontario Hydro right-of-way located north of St. Clair Avenue to the existing Humber Trunk Sewer.
Drawing No. 1 shows the preliminary location of the proposed sewer.
This document contains project-specific standard methods to collect the geologic, geotechnical, geo-environmental, and hydrogeological information required to successfully complete the investigation and make recommendations for the construction of the STS and CSO tanks. The included recommended scope of work has been designed based on an evaluation of existing published information and available data reports, summarized in a Desktop Study (Appendix A) completed by WSP Canada (WSP).
The purpose of the current Work Plan is for the Class EA and preliminary design of the proposed sewer. Further investigation will be required for the detailed design and construction of the proposed sewer.

2 SCOPE OF WORK
2.1 GENERAL
In preparation for completing the Class EA and preliminary design of the Black Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer, WSP has designed a geotechnical, hydrogeological and environmental investigation program for the preferred sewer alignment. Drawing No. 2 shows the proposed borehole and monitoring well locations. Borehole, monitoring well and vibrating wire piezometer locations have been selected to complement existing information and confirm the subsurface conditions for the final design of the sewer. The general purpose of the investigation is to characterize the overburden, bedrock and groundwater conditions which may impact the proposed design, construction and operation of the project.

o Table 1 provides a list of estimated boreholes and their respective approximate locations and depths to be drilled.
o Document geological, geotechnical, geo-environmental and hydrogeological conditions for the site.
o Identify and classify the geologic features, geologic formations and layers and their extents at borehole locations.
o Where encountered, identify and classify the overburden materials including fill, top of till and bedrock transition zone, top of weathered bedrock and top of fresh bedrock at borehole locations by means of in situ and laboratory testing.
o Where specified, perform in-situ stress measurements in rock and borehole imaging.
o Characterize the physical properties of each geologic layer including strength, weathering, hardness, abrasiveness, slake durability, geologic structure and all other pertinent geologic, geo-mechanical and engineering properties.
o Characterize the discontinuities (joints) in the rock mass.
o Determine the corrosivity and sulphate content of the soil, bedrock and groundwater.
o Prepare a 2-D subsurface stratigraphic profile depicting the ground surface, overburden soil strata, top of bedrock (including geologic formations and layers), the presence of buried stream channels, bedrock valleys, and any additional subsurface anomalies.
o All monitoring and testing required as part of the geotechnical testing program including sample transportation to the laboratory.
o Borehole decommissioning as per Ontario Regulation 903 requirements.
o Prepare geotechnical drawings for a Geotechnical Baseline Report showing the different soil and rock layers with the standard graphic symbols and colours. Note that preparation of the Geotechnical Baseline Report is not included in this scope of work.
o Detailed characterization of soil, bedrock and groundwater as it relates to off-site disposal, on-site re-use, as well as discharge to storm/sanitary sewer.
o Recommendations for further geotechnical investigation based on gaps identified in the final data from the preliminary geotechnical investigation.

All soil and bedrock testing must conform to the latest editions of the geotechnical testing of soils and bedrock standards outlined in Section 2.6.1.
2.3.4 STORAGE OF SAMPLES
All soil and bedrock samples collected during the investigation must be stored for a minimum of 36 months following completion of this contract.
Storage of samples shall be indoors in a temperature-controlled space, with temperatures above freezing and below 30°C. Soil and rock samples shall be sealed to preserve their natural moisture conditions. The samples shall not be destroyed or disposed unless notified in writing by the City of Toronto.
The Vendor shall provide access and viewing areas to the City of Toronto and other parties as per their requests during the Tender and Construction phases. The Vendor shall be responsible for disposal of the samples after the retention period at its own cost.
2.3.5 BOREHOLES WITH BLOW-OUT PREVENTION
The Georgian Bay Shale formation expected to be encountered in the boreholes is known to occasionally contain natural gas. Should natural gas (methane) be encountered in quantities and pressures sufficient to pose a health and safety concern (above 20% Lower Explosive Limit) the borehole shall be decommissioned in accordance with the OGSRA (The Oil, Gas and Salt Resources Act) requirements. Additional licensing, drilling, site supervision and potentially blow out prevention (and other potentially extensive gas control measures) will be required to re-drill the borehole to the target depth (as identified in Table 1). With reference to the definition of a ‘well’ under OGSRA, the onus is on the vendor proposing to drill a geotechnical well to determine whether their proposed drilling operation would constitute a “well” under clause of the definition, therefore requiring the vendor to apply for a well licence under the OGSRA. Further, applicable Provincial Operating Standards and reporting requirements under the OGSRA must be followed. The application documents and the process for licencing wells under the OGSRA are outlined in the Provincial Operating Standards and could be downloaded from www.ogsrlibrary.com.

Specific tasks include the following and are detailed in the following subsections:
o Investigative field activities, groundwater elevation measurement, groundwater sampling (for comparison to the Provincial Water Quality Objectives [PWQO], sanitary and sewer use by-law criteria), and hydraulic testing designed to characterize the site conditions, evaluate groundwater control needs, and to address areas of potential groundwater impact.
2.4.3 MONITORING WELL AND VIBRATING WIRE PIEZOMETER INSTALLATIONS
Monitoring wells shall be installed in accordance with ASTM D5092, O.Reg. 903 and O.Reg. 153/04, as amended. Monitoring wells should be constructed using 50mm diameter PVC casing, except for two (2) wells which require large diameter (150mm diameter) PVC casing. The monitoring well screens shall be a maximum of 3m long and be properly sealed to avoid short circuiting of groundwater between two aquifers. A clean, appropriately-graded silica sand pack should be placed between the well screen and the annulus of the borehole wall, from the bottom of the well screen to 30 to 60 cm above the top of the well screen. A granular bentonite seal of 60 to 90 cm thick will be placed in the borehole annulus above the sand-packed well-screen section. Each well should be capped with a J-plug. The new monitoring wells should be finished with either flush-mount or monument casings, per the site conditions. Monument-style casings should be secured using a weather-resistant padlock.
There shall be one (1) 50mm diameter monitoring well installed at each borehole location. At two (2) locations, a large diameter (150mm) pumping well shall be constructed. In addition, at each proposed tunnel shaft location, a fully grouted Vibrating Wire Piezometer (VPN) shall be installed. Exact depths are to be determined once soil conditions are known at each location. The monitoring well testing will be carried out using Solinst Leveloggers. The total number of tests required will be confirmed towards the end of the drilling program and depend on the groundwater levels and the soil profile. For costing purposes, assume that each well shall undergo the minimum of a Single Well Hydraulic Test (SWRT) and a pumping test. The two (2) 150mm diameter wells shall undergo Aquifer Performance Pumping Testing.
The newly installed wells should be developed at least one day after well installation. Each of the monitoring wells installed should be developed and pumped out at least three (3) well volumes (or until the monitoring well is purged dry three (3) times). All excavation derived wastes, such as excess soils, drilling fluids and purge or development water must be containerized, characterized and properly disposed in accordance with Ontario Regulations and municipal by-laws. Loggers refer to electronic datalogging equipment.
2.4.4 GROUNDWATER LEVEL MEASUREMENTS
Collect six (6) rounds of groundwater elevation measurements from all monitoring wells. Additional groundwater elevation measurements should be taken on a bi-weekly basis after installation for a minimum of three (3) readings including the use of an oil-water interface probe. Dataloggers shall be installed in all wells and set to an appropriate measurement interval of twelve (12) hours. Instruments are to be left in place for a period of six (6) months. Loggers shall be downloaded when manual levels are taken and corrected for barometric pressure based on barologger data. A discussion of measurements taken after report submission shall be summarized in a technical memorandum. Results from this monitoring program shall be considered in the design.
2.4.5 BEDROCK COREHOLE PACKER TESTING
Bedrock corehole packer tests shall be performed at each coring location to assess and verify the hydraulic conductivity of weathered and unweathered bedrock. The packer tests should be conducted at 3.0 m intervals from the top of the bedrock to the bottom of the corehole to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the bedrock. Double packer HQ sized wireline water pressure acceptance test apparatus is to be used. This test procedure shall follow standard BS EN ISO 22282-3 (2012).
2.4.6 SINGLE WELL RESPONSE TESTS
Single Well Response Tests (SWRTs) shall be completed at all monitoring well locations to provide supplementary information on the groundwater hydraulic parameters. This will be used to assess the need for groundwater control and to estimate construction water takings, if required.

2.4.7 AQUIFER PERFORMANCE PUMPING TESTS
Aquifer Performance Pumping Tests shall be carried out on the two (2) large diameter (150mm) pumping wells. The depth and location of the tests will be determined based on the soil profiles encountered in the investigation. The tests should be carried out using Solinst leveloggers along with a manual water tape for back-up. The groundwater levels in both the test well and the adjacent wells must be monitored throughout the duration of the testing. For costing purposes, presume that each well is 80m below grade, with a four (4) hour step test followed by a 72 hour constant head test (subject to change based on conditions encountered).
The vendor is responsible for obtaining PTTW/ESAR as well as city discharge permits to allow the pumping tests.
2.4.8 GROUNDWATER QUALITY SAMPLING AND TESTING
Groundwater quality samples from various monitoring wells shall be collected and analysed to characterize the groundwater quality of the local aquifer(s) as per Table 3.
Groundwater quality sampling from selected monitoring wells should be analysed for comparison to the PWQO and Sewer-Use By-Law criteria. The data shall be used to determine management options for the discharge of potential construction dewatering (if required) as well as to be used as background information in case of any complaint from neighbouring properties.
The groundwater testing program should conform to the latest edition of the following standards:
o ASTM D653 -Terminology Relating to Soil, Rock, and Contained Fluids
o ASTM D4043 -Guide for Selection of Aquifer Test Method in Determining Hydraulic Properties by Well Techniques
