The work consists of furnishing all labor, materials, tools, and equipment for installing nature-based shoreline protection measures along approximately 469.5 linear feet of shoreline, including the placement of 1,110 cubic yards of sand for beach restoration and 400 cubic yards of earth fill to support vegetation along the landward edge of the restored beach. To provide additional stability to the restored beach, 760 tons of ODOT Type A Armor Stone and 125 feet of coir fiber block stabilization will be used along the landward edge of the restored beach, along with 1,700 tons of 1- to 2-ton Toe Stone along the water line and 30 feet offshore. Native seed and temporary grass cover seeding covering 0.27 and 0.06 acres, respectively, will be planted over the new fill.

The existing driftwood along the shoreline will be removed prior to fill placement and reinstalled and anchored afterwards to reduce run-up over the restored beach face Questions 1) Questions must be submitted via www.publicpurchase.com by Tuesday December 12, 2023, by 5:00pm EST 2) Questions will be answered by Cleveland Metroparks by Thursday December 14, 2023, by 5:00pm EST b.
