Attachment_B_-_Access_Point_Memo.pdf

This memorandum from the Director of Engineering at the St. Johns Water Management District to the Regulatory Manager of the Bureau of Environmental Resource Regulation outlines the access point strategy for the Lake Geneva Restoration Project (GSSL-019-232368-1) in Clay County, Florida. The project will utilize four designated access points to remove trees and vegetation from permitted restoration areas across approximately 342 acres. Access Point A consists of the 5th Street boat ramp, a Clay County-owned facility that will be closed to the public during the restoration project and will provide access to Restoration Area 1. Access Point B is located at 6312 Baker Road, a privately-owned undeveloped parcel with written authorization for access to Restoration Area 2. Access Point C is situated at 7941 Breezy Point Road West, a privately-owned parcel with written authorization that will provide access to Restoration Areas 3 and 4. Access Point D is located at 4413 State Road 21, a privately-owned parcel with written authorization for access to Restoration Area 5. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 4, 2025, with final bid submission due December 18, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., and bid opening on December 19, 2025.

All access points must comply with erosion and sediment control measures specified in the Construction Techniques Memo and will be subject to regular inspections by Clay County Engineering Department certified erosion and sediment control inspectors. Any additional access points used by the contractor will be subject to the same rules and regulations as the designated points. The contract term is twenty-four months from execution with potential extensions for two additional twelve-month periods. The project is funded in part by a Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant Agreement totaling $250,000 with no county match requirement. Contractors must maintain a five percent bid bond and a 100 percent Performance and Payment Bond if the contract exceeds $200,000, with liquidated damages assessed at $100 per day past the final completion date. Work hours are restricted to Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., unless specifically approved by the County Project Manager.
