Z--Beach Erosion Control and Hurricane Protection Project, Dade County, Florida, Beach Renourishment 2011, Miami Beach - Contract "E"

The Contract E Renourishment Project, Dade County Beach Erosion Control and Hurricane Protection Project, FL consists of placing sand on three areas of Miami Beach using two separate sources of material. For Segment A, an estimated 250,000 cubic yards of sand will be placed on approximately 4,600 feet of the North Miami Beach Area. This material will come from an offshore borrow area some 11.2 nautical miles SSW of the project site. An offshore operational area has been set aside for the pumpout of this material to shore along a dedicated 25-foot wide East-West corridor through the reefs to a point about 600 feet south of FDEP monument R-42. The operational area is approximately 8,000 feet offshore. Placement of material greater than one inch on the beach is not acceptable and an approved method shall be used to screen the material on the dredge. Dumping of this larger material shall occur at an approved rock disposal site offshore of Miami Beach. In Segments B and C, an estimated 107,000 cubic yards of sand will be placed on two approximately 1,000 feet lengths of Miami Beach in the vicinity of 44th Street (57,000 cys) and 27th Street (50,000 cys). This material will come from an accreted portion of the beach at Lummus Park (R-64 to R-69) some 2 miles south of the project beaches at its farthest point. Truck haul will not be allowed for placement of the material from Lummus Park to the project beach and a hydraulic method of transport shall be utilized.
