The contractor shall furnish all labor, material, equipment and supervision to dredge both projects. The Pelican Island Restoration (BA38-1) CWPPRA Project consists of the placement of approximately 957,600 cubic yards of marsh fill, 1,444,700 cubic yards of beach and dune fill, and 17,392 feet of containment dikeage along a 2.5-mile barrier island. It includes the construction of 206 acres of marshland on the bay side of the island and 163 acres of sub aerial dunes and beaches on the gulf side of the island. The construction berm elevation on Pelican Island is +6 feet NAVD, the marsh platform elevation is +3 feet NAVD, the average marsh width is 680 feet, and the average sub aerial dune and beach width is 540 feet. The construction of the marsh, dune, and beaches will increase the average width of Pelican Island to approximately 1,200 feet. The slope of the beach and dune fill template is one (1) foot vertical to forty-five (45) feet horizontal along both the bay and gulf sides of the dune.
