Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On August 8, 2013, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (the “Company”) announced that the Company was the low bidder on an $81 million coastal restoration project in Louisiana that will commence dredging in the first quarter of 2014 and contribute to 2014 results. On August 13, 2013, the State of Louisiana, Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (“CPRA”) notified the Company that the CPRA had rejected the Company’s bid for failure to complete a unit price line item of the bid form and that the project will be re-advertised in the near future. On August 14, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana to compel the CPRA to issue the contract to the Company. The Company intends to continue to pursue the project.
