Attachment AA-010.docx is a document related to an Invitation to Bid (ITB 25-104) issued by Citrus County, Florida 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 deployment is part of the Florida State Expenditure Plan (FSEP) 13-3 artificial reef program, and the site is already permitted through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under permit #SAJ-1999-00814, which is valid through April 18, 2027.

The primary objective of the project is to restore and revitalize the Gulf Economy by expanding reef acreage and increasing recreational activities. The county has already secured the necessary environmental permits, which simplifies the implementation process. The project is funded through the FSEP and aims to create additional marine habitat and support local marine ecosystems while providing enhanced opportunities for recreational fishing and marine exploration.
