About this file
This document is a set of geotechnical boring logs and figures related to the installation of steel poles for a federal contract opportunity to repair and maintain the trolley track system at the Lowell National Historic Park in Lowell, Massachusetts. The geotechnical investigation was conducted in March 2021 to gather subsurface data to support the steel pole design. The boring logs provide details on the soil conditions encountered, including the presence of urban fill, silty sand, and gravel, at various depths up to 10 feet. This information is likely intended to be used by contractors to evaluate site conditions and develop their technical and cost proposals for the trolley track repair work. The related federal contract opportunity has a solicitation number of 6913G624R200002 and is being procured by the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary.
