" Reconstruct the boardwalk tread with 2" x 6" x 7" tread boards and finish with 4" x 4" edge rail set on 2" x 4" x 12" spacers set every 3 feet on each side of the structure. " On the ocean ward side of the boardwalk, install a safety barrier consisting of fifteen 6" diameters, 54" long peeler core posts, each set in 24" deep, 8" diameter holes, with a finish height of 30" above ground. Backfill with natural soils and drill and attach a ½" coated safety cable through each post to complete the safety barrier. At the Moonstone Beach Drive stairway, work will: " Remove and replace approximately 20 existing storm damaged stairway steps/water bars with five foot long, 6" x 6" pressure treated lumber, secured with 2 food long ½ inch rebar. " Restore the tread surface with approximately 1 cubic yard of imported class 2 road base or decomposed granite and out-slope the trail tread for erosion control.
