- Description
- RECOVERY - PER FAR 5.7 THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY; THEREFORE FAR 5.203 DOES NOT APPLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS AVAILABLE ONLY TO CONTRACTOR(S) UNDER THE CURRENT CONTRACT NUMBER(S): W9127N10D0002 Portland District Corps of Engineers has issued Task Order 0008 under Contract W9127N-10-D-0002 for the following procurement: The Contractor shall characterize dredged material using a modified incremental sampling (IS) approach concurrently with conventional sampling protocols found in the 2009 Sediment Evaluation Framework for the Pacific Northwest (SEF), and to compare the effectiveness and utility of each methodology. IS was originally developed by the mining industry and was studied by the Corps for use at explosives-contaminated sites as a way to minimize sampling and subsampling errors by collecting a large number of closely-spaced surface soil samples that are then composited and submitted to a laboratory as a single sample. To the best of our knowledge, IS has not been used to characterize dredged material. The primary goal of IS (as applied to dredged material testing) is to collect equal amounts of material (known as increments) from each core to create a super-composite of material weighing about 1,000 g (wet weight), and then extract and analyze a greater mass of material than what is typically analyzed under the SEF protocol. Results of the analysis shall determine if analyses conducted on a larger subsample pulled from a composite of many cores better represents the true value of the particular analyte(s) in a given unit of material (aka the decision unit). The Corps has selected the Post Office Bar as the study area. Post Office Bar is a shoaling area located within the Federal Navigation Channel (FNC) in the Lower Willamette River (LWR) at river mile 2.1-2.4. The proposed dredging prism (DP) varies from 2 to 10 feet deep, with approximately 10% sand.
