DESCRIPTION OF WORK: This beach renourishment project consists of the hydraulic placement of beach quality material onto Venice Beach, Florida. The project begins south of Venice Inlet (R-116) and extends to the southern end of Brohard Beach (R-133), a distance of 3.3 miles of critically eroded shoreline. The construction template for material to be placed will utilize the identified Construction Baseline (CBL) shown on the drawings to determine berm crest width and sloped berm crest width. A 50-foot flat berm crest at Elevation 8.4' NAVD88 will be constructed for about 2.4 miles. The remaining project will require a 20-foot flat berm from the established CBL. From the flat berm crest, the placement fill will continue gulfward but on a 1 vertical on 30 horizontal sloped berm. The foreshore slope of the fill will match existing grade on a 1 vertical to 15 horizontal. Beach Quality Sediment to be used for the nourishment will be from four designated borrow areas located approximately 10 nautical miles west to southwest from the middle of the project site. Access to the beach from offshore will be provided through designated pipeline corridors as shown on the drawings. To support the life of the project, five existing stormwater outfalls will have to be extended through the project fill as well as specific locale dune enhancements. The City of Venice will provide the culvert pipes for the outfall extension work. There are also two waterways which pass through the project placement area: Flamingo Ditch and Deertown Gully. Flamingo Ditch currently has a wooden training wall which will be demolished as indicated on the drawings with project fill strategically placed as to allow natural flow to occur to the gulf. Deertown Gully will only require strategic placement of fill material. The Contractor shall provide the culvert pipes and other necessary items to support this type of construction work. Other project work includes, but is not limited to beach tilling, construction vibration controls and monitoring, turbidity monitoring, sea turtle trawl sweeping and relocation, endangered species observers, sea turtle monitoring or coordination and beach fill remediation. Magnitude of construction is between $10,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00. The request for proposal will be issued on 24 July 2014 and proposals will be due on or about 26 August 2014. The award of the task order will be made on the basis of Lowest Price Technical Acceptable (LPTA). The technical evaluation factors are availability of technically acceptable plant and equipment and past performance under Group 4 DREDGING POOL.
