Professional Coastal Engineering Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Master Agreement CN025 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for professional coastal engineering services throughout the state park system. This master contract enables task-based professional services covering a comprehensive range of coastal construction project engineering needs, including beach nourishment, marine facilities, coastal structures, erosion control, inlet management, beach access projects, living shoreline projects, and emergency coastal storm services. The IDV provides a flexible mechanism for procuring specialized coastal engineering expertise on an as-needed basis for various state park infrastructure and environmental management initiatives.

The master contract was awarded to Coastal Engineering Consultants, Inc. of Naples, Florida, with an initial contract period from November 5, 2010, to November 5, 2013, and the potential for up to three additional one-year renewals. The contract is a state-level master agreement specifically covering Florida, with compensation structured on a combination of fixed fee and cost reimbursement methods. An amendment to the contract in 2013 implemented a 3% reduction in contract rates, extended the completion date to November 5, 2016, and added a requirement for using the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system for employment eligibility verification.
