The Project consists of coastal shoreline restoration work with incidental removals, erosion control, stormwater management and vegetation re-establishment. The shoreline work primarily includes earthwork modifications to regrade damaged/eroded areas and the placement of large on-site armored stone and vegetated riprap along the beach enbankment for storm protection. Removal of existing vegetation, rock, bituminous and gravel surfacing will need to occur to accomodate the shoreline restoration. A series of beach access points and drainage ways intersect the shoreline restoration area and will include detailed grading for the swales, and installation of drainage rock, large stone steppers, surface aggregate and landscape boulders. Vegetation restoration will consist of native seeding with erosion control blanket, coir matting, netting straw mat and protection fencing as well as the planting of trees, native plugs, live stakes and brush bundles. E. The project includes one Base Bid and two Alternates for shoreline restoration work within the Gitchi Gammi Park limits and along Brighton Beach in Duluth, MN.
