The intent of the contract is to provide regrading to the lower section of the Eyak River Boat Ramp.  A brief summary of the project is as follows (a more detailed statement of work will be identified in the forthcoming solicitation packet):

--Ensure site and river access is maintained for the public.  A temporary ramp location immediately down river of the boat launch will serve as river access during construction. Ensure this area remains accessible during construction.

--Isolate and dewater the in-stream portion of the project site.  Hydraulic bladder dam is the only permitted method for work area isolation and dewatering.
