Professional Engineering Services for Environmental Site Assessments

The Mercer County Improvement Authority in Trenton, New Jersey, requires professional engineering services to conduct environmental site assessments. The agency needs to identify and document the physical, geological, and environmental characteristics of a designated planning area to support its local development and conservation initiatives.

The agency requires a comprehensive analysis of the local geology, topography, and soil types, specifically focusing on limitations regarding on-site systems or the land application of effluent and residuals. Additionally, the analysis must identify environmentally critical areas, including wetlands, floodplains, important farmlands, agricultural development areas, aquifer recharge areas, coastal zones, stream corridors, parks, steep slopes, and habitats of endangered or threatened species. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the selected contractor to perform all work onsite in Trenton, New Jersey. The contract term spans a period of one year, and the agency is currently seeking cost proposals to establish the budget for these services.
