The file Attachment_AA-006.docx appears to be an image (image1.jpeg) of Piling Bases Square Beams, related to the Citrus County, Florida Invitation to Bid (ITB 25-104) for 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 site is already permitted through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (permit #SAJ-1999-00814) valid through April 18, 2027, with the primary objective of restoring and revitalizing the Gulf Economy by expanding recreational activities through additional reef acreage.

The project is funded through the Florida State Expenditure Plan (FSEP) 13-3 artificial reef program, with the aim of creating additional marine habitat and supporting local recreational opportunities. The county has already secured the necessary environmental permits, which simplifies the implementation process for potential bidders. The project represents an opportunity for contractors to contribute to marine ecosystem enhancement and economic development in the Gulf region, with a focus on repurposing concrete construction debris for environmental and recreational purposes.
