Coastal Engineering Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Master Agreement CN024 provides comprehensive professional coastal engineering services throughout the state park system. The IDV enables the procurement of critical coastal construction project engineering services, including beach nourishment projects, dune repair, erosion control, inlet management, beach access projects, parking facilities, living shoreline projects, and emergency coastal environment services. Coastal engineering professionals can be engaged for tasks ranging from site assessments and environmental permitting to detailed coastal engineering reporting and infrastructure rehabilitation.

The master agreement was awarded to Coastal Systems International, based in Coral Gables, Florida, with an initial contract period from November 5, 2010, to November 5, 2013, and potential three-year renewals. The contract operates statewide within Florida and is structured as a fixed fee/cost reimbursement agreement with hourly rates ranging from $63 to $234 per professional classification. Professional services are procured through specific task assignments, with compensation subject to annual legislative appropriation. The contract's flexible structure allows the Department of Environmental Protection to efficiently engage coastal engineering expertise on an as-needed basis across various state park projects.
