Maurice_River__Government_Conducted Sampling.xlsx

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing sedimentological sampling data for the Maurice River, with detailed grain size analysis across multiple sample locations (MA1 through MA11). The dataset includes comprehensive geotechnical measurements such as clay, silt, sand, and gravel percentages, along with granulometric parameters like D10, D50, and D90 for each sampling point. The samples were collected at various depths ranging from 2 to 120 inches below surface, with geographical coordinates recorded for each sampling location.

The associated federal contract opportunity is a maintenance dredging project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, for the Maurice River, New Jersey. The project involves dredging approximately 80,000 cubic yards from Station 0+500 to 10+000 to maintain a safe navigable depth of 8 feet MLLW plus 1-foot overdepth. The contract is estimated between $1-5 million, with a 240-calendar day performance period. Dredging will be conducted using a hydraulic pipeline dredge, with placement at the Heislerville State Wildlife Management Area. Environmental restrictions prohibit dredging from March 1 to September 30. The pre-bid site visit is scheduled for June 18, 2025, and bids must be submitted through the PIEE Solicitation Module.
