Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Contractor will plant cultch in specified areas which will be designated by MDMR personnel in advance of the day of the cultch deployment. The contractor will give the MDMR Project Manager at least twenty-four (24) hour notice of cultch deployment. Type of approved cultch material is oyster shell only. Cultch will be clean and free of any hazardous substances or excessive dust. The Contractor will guarantee that all cultch is clean and no more than 5% of the cultch material, by volume, may consist of fragments, pieces, fines, or shells smaller than ¾” to 1 ½” (three-fourths inch to one and one-half inch) in diameter. The MDMR reserves the right to have its representatives inspect all cultch material at the loading site before cultch material is accepted and each barge-load will be monitored at the deployment site. All small particles in excess of the allowed 5%, or otherwise outside of the specifications listed above, will be deducted from the total project cost. Cultch material will be transported to deployment areas on deck barges that are loaded to conform to the depth of the water at the deployment site. Tugboats and barges (loaded) will not draw more than five (5) feet of water. The deployment will be performed utilizing a grid pattern to accomplish a uniform distribution of the cultch material. To ensure proper maneuverability, the tugboat used to distribute the cultch material will not push or pull more than two (2) loaded barges at one time during deployment. MDMR employees will be onsite to monitor compliance with the terms of the contract. This will include, among other aspects, the even distribution of cultch material during the deployment at locations specified by the MDMR. The Contractor understands that this project consists of multiple deployment sites and irregular shapes ranging from 5 acres to 75 acres. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the minimal clearances are met. The MDMR will measure cultch material on board the barges prior to deployment and will calculate the total cubic yards of material on each barge
