Attachment_AA-014.docx is a government file related to Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-104 for Artificial Reef Deployment, issued by Citrus County, Florida. The project involves the implementation of Florida State Expenditure Plan (FSEP) 13-3, which includes 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit #SAJ-1999-00814, valid until April 18, 2027.

The primary objective of this project is to restore and revitalize the Gulf Economy by expanding reef acreage to support increased recreational activities. The county has already secured the necessary environmental permits, which simplifies the deployment process. The project is funded through the Florida State Expenditure Plan and aims to create additional marine habitat and support local recreational fishing and marine ecosystem development.
