Professional Engineering Services for Environmental Site Assessments

The Mercer County Improvement Authority in Trenton, New Jersey is seeking professional engineering services to conduct environmental site assessments. The agency requires a comprehensive geographical description and a clear map of the planning area, generally drafted at a scale of one inch equal to 2000 feet. This assessment must detail the local geology, topography, and soil types, specifically identifying any limitations regarding the use of on-site systems or the land application of effluent or residuals. The selected contractor must identify and map all environmentally critical areas within the designated planning area. These critical areas include wetlands, floodplains, important farmlands, agricultural development areas, and important aquifer recharge areas. The scope also covers coastal areas, stream corridors, parks, preserves, steep slopes, and specific locations of endangered or threatened species or their designated habitats. The agency limits eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. The designated engineering work must be performed onsite in Trenton, New Jersey. The contract term spans a period of one year, and the agency is currently requesting proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for these services.
