The e xpert witness must also be familiar with the unique challenges of designing and building of Ten Mile Creek Water Preserve Project, to include review of all original geotechnical documents submitted prior to construction, review results of supplemental grou ndwater seepage analysis performed using SEEP/W, review results of supplemental transient seepage analysis performed to evaluate excess pore pressures as a result of rapid drawdown and the resulting uplift forces acting on the soil-cement on the interior f ace of the embankment, review results of supplemental slope stability analysis, review of erosion problems at the toe of the soil-cement apron. . The expert must be able to devote individual attention to the analysis and preparation of the Governments de fense, and if necessary, serve as a capable witness before the ASBCA or United States Court of Federal Claims. After researching firms on the Project Management Institute and other websites and communicating with other Districts, it is clear that BCI is c apable of addressing the myriad of issues presented in the AE liability claims.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 541690 and the size standard is $6.5Million. The sole source determinati on is based upon the knowledge, skills, and expertise possessed by BCI , coupled with its unique extensive local knowledge of the site.
