Attachment AA-009.docx is a supporting document for Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-104 issued by Citrus County, Florida, related to 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 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit #SAJ-1999-00814 valid through April 18, 2027. The primary objective is to restore and revitalize the Gulf Economy by creating additional reef acreage to support recreational activities.

The project is funded through the Florida State Expenditure Plan and appears to be focused on environmental enhancement and economic development in the Gulf region. The County has already secured the necessary environmental permits, which simplifies the implementation process for potential bidders. The specific details about pricing, bid submission dates, and contract award timeline are not explicitly stated in the provided document. The project represents an opportunity for contractors specialized in marine construction, environmental restoration, and reef deployment to contribute to regional marine ecosystem development and recreational infrastructure.
