The project includes construction of both a dune and beach berm. The landward portion of the beach berm will be flat and has a berm elevation of +8.0 feet North Atlantic Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The seaward 80 feet of the berm will have a seaward slope of 1V:40H to an elevation of +6.0 NAVD88. The foreshore slope of the berm will be 1V:10H until it ties into existing grade. The width of the berm varies from the Construction Baseline as shown on the drawings. The dune crest varies in height between +15.0 feet and +18.0 feet NAVD88, as shown on the drawings reflecting the average elevation of the natural dune. The slope of the seaward face of the dune is 1V:3H. Planting of dune vegetation will take place following completion of constructed segments.

Sand for the project will be dredged from the Flood Shoal Complex. Project work also includes, but is not limited to, beach tilling/vibration, monitoring, turbidity monitoring, and environmental species monitoring.

DESCRIPTON OF WORK: Refer to Section 01 11 00 for complete description.

1.3.3 Construction Baseline (CBL)

To closely resemble the shoreline, a Construction Baseline (CBL) was established. The CBL determines the seaward/gulfward berm crest width and the construction stationing for pre- and post-payment surveys.

1.3.4 Maximum Dredging Depth

The maximum dredge depth is shown on the plans for the borrow area. The

SECTION 35 20 25 Page 3

Contractor cannot remove material below this depth. Contractor will not be penalized for locations in the borrow area which were already deeper than maximum depth prior to dredging. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) designated "disturbance depth" is a 2 foot layer located beneath maximum depth in which material can be agitated but not removed.

1.3.5 Target Depth

The borrow area and each subdivision shall be completely exacavated to the target depth before relocating the dredge to another borrow area or subdivision. The Contracting Officer may permit the Contractor to relocate to another borrow area or subdivision prior to complete clearance to target depth if 1) the remaning quantity is the result of minor side slope sloughing, 2) in isolated areas the remaining sand thickness cannot be efficiently removed after suitable effort by the contractor to clear the entire borrow area or subdivision to target depth, or 3) other reasons determined valid by the Contracting Officer.

1.3.6 Work Area

Work area is defined as the area where Contract work is to be performed, as shown on the contract drawings, impacted by contractor operations, and additional areas agreed by the Contracting Officer.
