Coastal Engineering Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) established a Master Agreement (Contract No. CN026) for professional coastal engineering services throughout the State Park System. This Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) covers a comprehensive range of coastal construction and engineering projects, including beach nourishment, dune repair, erosion control, inlet management, beach access projects, living shoreline initiatives, and coastal process studies. The contract provides a flexible framework for executing specialized engineering tasks across Florida's park system, with compensation structured on a fixed fee/cost reimbursement basis.

The master IDV was originally awarded to Taylor Engineering, Inc. on November 5, 2010, with an initial performance period of three years and subsequent extensions through November 5, 2016. The contract covers the entire state of Florida and allows for task assignments with a total contract multiplier of 3.0 and overhead rates not exceeding 168.00% for home and branch offices. The agreement is subject to annual legislative appropriation and includes provisions for multiple sub-consultants, with the DEP retaining the right to issue task assignments as needed for coastal engineering and professional services. The contract type is a Master Agreement, offering a structured approach to procuring specialized coastal engineering expertise across Florida's state park system.
