Abatement of the Osborne Reef

The Master Agreement SW232 established under the Florida Department of Environmental Protection provides an indefinite delivery vehicle for waste tire abatement and environmental remediation services. The primary scope of this IDV encompasses the recovery, removal, and offloading of waste tires from the Osborne Reef located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Under this vehicle, the State procures comprehensive marine salvage and industrial diving services necessary to extract and transport waste tires deposited on the reef to designated processing facilities. The contract provides for all associated services including support vessel operations with U.S. Coast Guard certification, commercial diving personnel and equipment, tire recovery and bundling operations, coordination with Port Everglades for container offloading, and transportation of recovered materials to waste tire processors. These services directly support Florida's environmental protection objectives by mitigating ecological damage to marine ecosystems and removing materials that endanger reef habitats.
