Scope of Services:

This project is for the maintenance and refreshment of armoring stone (type “D” Riprap) on wetland embankment slopes on various structures at Magee Marsh wildlife area (figure 1). Bidders will be expected to provide and place all crushed stone. The contractor is expected to (1) mow or grub all vegetation (up to 5” DBH), leaving no more than 3” above ground level, (2) repair any damage from burrowing rodents and wave action prior to armor stone placement, (3) level and smooth the slopes, repairing embankment slopes back to a minimum of 2:1 slope in preparation for armor stone placement. Toe stone (Type “B” rip rap) will be positioned at the base of the structure to prevent downward migration of the placed material. The type “D” armoring stone must be placed, fit, and compacted. Contractors must bid on all tasks per linear foot to be considered):

• Toe stone placement: a layer of Type “B” limestone riprap (measured 12” by 24”) installed along the proposed toe of the structure.

- Site 1 will require placement of new toe stone

- Site 2, 3, 4 -existing stone on the structure that measures 12” by 24” can be repositioned and used as toe stone.

• Place Type “D” limestone riprap (measured 4” by 12”) along the embankment slopes so that the resulting in a minimum ribbon between 12 to 18 inches thick. This will be up to the contractor to ascertain the amounts of stone needed throughout the length of embankment.

• The ribbon of armor stone must run from one foot from the top of the embankment to the bottom of the embankment.

• Approximate length of embankment to be armored.

- Site 1 = 2700 linear feet (figure 2)

- Site 2 = 500 linear feet (figure 3)

- Site 3 = 700 linear feet (figure 4)

- Site 4 = 975 linear feet (figure 5)

• Utilize Staging Area for additional stone stockpiling. (figure 6)

• Care must be taken not to create ruts more than 6 inches deep. All ruts on grass sod dikes will need to be backfilled, compacted, and seeded.

Contractor bids shall be submitted on a per linear foot basis to be considered for evaluation.
