The work solicited entailed addressing erosion concerns within DRA 7403 and DRA 7322 by adding three splash pads, one turf reinforcement mat (TRM), and four additional concrete masonry unit (CMU) blocks to three existing U-type end walls. The work also includes excavating, placing, and compacting fill-in 12-inch lifts, density testing, as-builts, and sodding disturbed areas. One (1) submittal was received; the tabulation is listed below:
