The stone will be specified and approved by the Corps. The material should be placed onto barges and delivered to Harris Creek where it will be placed onto areas about minus 6-9 feet mean lower low water.

The contractor must have access to equipment to perform this operation to include purchase, delivery, and placement. This should include barges, offloading equipment and support vessels. The period of performance will be about 180 days and will begin in the fall. Potential respondents should be familiar with Government submittals and requirements such as the current safety manual.
