Scope of Services:

This project is for the maintenance and refreshment of armoring stone on existing wetland embankment slopes in the “Main Marsh” at Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area (see Figure 1). The contractor shall:

- Mow or grub all vegetation (up to 5” DBH), leaving no more than 3” above ground level

- Repair any damage from burrowing rodents and wave action,

- Regrade embankment slopes to a minimum of 2:1 in preparation for stone placement,

- Provide and place all crushed stone (Type “D” Riprap), as follows:

o Armor stone must be placed, fit, and/or compacted to prevent downslope migration o Top elevation of band of armor: 580.00’ or higher o Bottom elevation of band of armor: 575.00’ or toe of embankment (whichever comes first) o Minimum thickness of band of armor – 12 inches o Approximate total length of embankment to be armored – 6,000 linear feet

The contractor is encouraged to utilize tracked-machines and/or low-ground-pressure equipment to minimize rutting on existing travel ways and embankments. All ruts on grass-sod embankments resulting from the completion of this project shall be backfilled, compacted, and seeded with a cool-season mix approved by the Area Representative.

Two (2) proposed staging areas for material stockpiling are shown in Figure 2. Additional staging areas may be available to the contractor if approved by the Area Representative.

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