The State of Washington, through its Department of Enterprise Services (DES), has established a master contract (Contract No. 12922) for Geotechnical Drilling Services, designed to support public works and infrastructure projects across the state. The primary purpose of this procurement is to provide state agencies and authorized users with access to qualified contractors capable of delivering a comprehensive range of geotechnical drilling services. These services include, but are not limited to, hollow stem drilling, rock coring, casing advance using specialized drilling methods, and a selection of optional services that may vary by contractor. The contract also specifies that drilling equipment mount types are detailed in each contractor’s price worksheet, ensuring transparency and alignment with project requirements.
The scope of work under this contract is broad, encompassing all activities necessary to perform subsurface investigations and related geotechnical drilling tasks. The intended outcomes are to facilitate safe, efficient, and compliant drilling operations that support the design, construction, and maintenance of public infrastructure. Contractors are required to adhere to prevailing wage laws and public works limitations, ensuring compliance with state labor standards. Additionally, all work must be performed in accordance with the Department of Ecology’s requirements as outlined in WAC 173-160, which governs water well construction and related drilling activities.
To address the geographic diversity of the state, the contract is divided into two regions: Eastern and Western Washington. The Eastern Region covers counties such as Spokane, Yakima, and Walla Walla, while the Western Region includes King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, among others. This regional division ensures that agencies can engage contractors with local expertise and resources, optimizing response times and project outcomes.
