The project involves dredging and placement of approximately 2,915,000 cubic yards (in-place volume) of fill material borrowed from the Ship Shoal Block 88 borrow area in the Gulf of America. This environmental restoration initiative is designed to create beach and marsh habitat within state-owned waters of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The project falls under the heavy and civil engineering construction category and represents ongoing market research efforts to identify qualified sources capable of executing the dredging operations required for this restoration work.

The document serves as a sources sought announcement to conduct market research and identify potential contractors with the capability and experience to perform the dredging and material placement operations specified for the Raccoon Island Restoration Project. This procurement is funded through the Deepwater Horizon Program and represents an environmental restoration initiative prioritized under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process.
