The file is an Invitation to Bid (ITB 25-104) from 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 site is already permitted through 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 (FSEP) 13-3 artificial reef program, with a focus on environmental and economic enhancement. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has pre-approved the deployment site, which suggests minimal additional regulatory hurdles. The project aims to create marine habitat and support local marine ecosystems while providing opportunities for recreational fishing and marine activities. No specific pricing details, set-asides, or incumbent information are provided in the available documentation.
