This is a Field Investigative Report related to the Phillippi Creek Phase II Maximum Allowable Dredging project in Florida, a construction contract opportunity involving dredging activities managed by the county. The project encompasses dredging approximately 77,160 cubic yards over an estimated 33,500 linear feet within the limits between US 41 and South Beneva Road, with the objective of restoring the permitted design elevation to -4 feet Mean Low Water (MLW). The scope of work includes dredge material management area preparation, material handling, disposal, turbidity control and monitoring, and site restoration. Bidders' offers are irrevocable for 180 days from the date of bid opening or until the County's issuance of Notice to Proceed, whichever occurs first. The County anticipates executing a construction contract that will remain in effect for the duration of the project.

The report documents investigative findings related to field conditions and site assessment for the dredging operation. Bidders must meet minimum qualifications as outlined in the solicitation documents and provide evidence of required insurance coverage. Specific pricing terms, set-asides, funding sources, and amounts are to be determined through the solicitation documents and attachments section. The project represents a significant infrastructure improvement effort focused on environmental restoration and waterway management within Sarasota County, Florida.
