DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The proposed project will renourish approximately 12 miles of shoreline in Brevard County, Florida between FDEP Range Monuments R-75.3 and R-139. The project is comprised of two segments: Mid Reach and South Reach. The Mid Reach extends approximately 7.8 miles between FDEP Range Monuments R-75.3 to R-118.3. The South Reach extends approximately 3.8 miles between R-118.3 and R-139. The project includes construction of a beach berm and dune as shown in the drawings.
Beach compatible sand for the project will be dredged from Canaveral Shoals II. The Canaveral Shoals II borrow area is located east of Cape Canaveral in Federal waters and is centered approximately 4.5 miles offshore of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) and 8 miles from Port Canaveral. Pipeline corridors are not prescribed for the work; however, no pipelines are allowed within Mid-Reach (R-75.3 and R-118.3) as well as designated avoidance areas shown on the drawings.
Hydraulic placement within Mid-Reach is prohibited. Beach quality sediment can be attained from a South Reach beach stockpile area as shown on the plans or approved upland sources truck hauled to the placement area. The South Reach stockpile area is approximately 8 miles south of the Mid-Reach placement site with a maximum and minimum distance of 11.6 miles and 4 miles, respectively. The stockpile area can be hydraulically filled and then mechanically transferred to the placement area along Highway A1A only. After the truck haul is completed, a residual beach fill will be constructed within the entire stockpile area as shown on the drawings.
The South Reach Nearshore Disposal and Sand Rehandling Area (SR-NDSRA) is provided offshore of the South Reach project fill areas and may be used to temporarily stockpile beach fill material. The SR-NDSRA is located between R-126 and R-130.5 and may be utilized from 1 October to 30 April. See Plans for limits of SR-NDSRA.
Project work also includes, but is not limited to, beach tilling, vibration monitoring, turbidity monitoring, and environmental species monitoring.
This project will have an estimated period of performance of 545 calendar days after issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP), including 60 calendar days to commence work.
Magnitude of construction is between $30,000,000 and $60,000,000.
The request for proposal (RFP) will be issued on or around September 05, 2023 and proposals will be due on or about September 22, 2023.
