Attachment AA-001.docx is a supporting document for Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-104 issued by Citrus County, Florida, focusing on an Artificial Reef Deployment project. The project involves barging and deploying 2,000 to 3,000 tons of processed concrete construction debris to Fish Haven #1, located approximately 25 miles west of Homosassa in the Gulf of America. The deployment is part of the Florida State Expenditure Plan (FSEP) 13-3 artificial reef program, with a permitted U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorization (permit #SAJ-1999-00814) valid through April 18, 2027.

The primary objective of this project is to restore and revitalize the Gulf Economy by expanding recreational activities through additional reef acreage. The county has already secured the necessary environmental and deployment permissions, with the project aimed at creating marine habitat and supporting local economic development. While specific pricing details are not provided in the document, the project appears to be funded through state expenditure plan allocations, with a focus on environmental and economic restoration initiatives in the coastal region.
