The contract requires the lowest responsive and responsible bidder to furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and trucking to perform hydraulic dredging and design and implement a dewatering facility at the Nandivada Dredge Material Management Area.

Comprehensive insurance mandates include general liability of $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation, auto liability of $1 million combined single limit, and pollution liability of $1 million. Federal and state environmental permits authorized the work, including USACE Nationwide Permit 27, FDEP Environmental Resource Permits (Modification 331649-005-EM extending completion to September 9, 2029), and conditions requiring manatee protection with two to three dedicated observers, sea turtle and smalltooth sawfish protection, turbidity monitoring, and seagrass buffer setbacks of minimum 15 feet.
