Hickman Borings Drilling and Testing
This contract seeks to recover intact samples of cemented sand and gravel from the bottom of the Mississippi River near Hickman, KY, because historical borings produced samples too disturbed for unconfined compressive strength testing. The contractor must perform river-based rotosonic borings and rock coring at designated coordinates. The amendment changes the basis for award to Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). All field work must be completed no later than 31 December 2026.
