This README file provides technical specifications for survey data supporting the Flagler County Beach Nourishment Project - Reach II, a coastal restoration initiative undertaken by Flagler County, Florida. The document establishes the measurement standards and survey timeframes for two critical data sets: beach profile surveys conducted from February 25 through March 13, 2025, and borrow area surveys completed from April 3 through May 16, 2019. All measurements are recorded in feet and tenths relative to the horizontal datum NAD83 Florida State Plane East and vertical datum NAVD88, which are standard geodetic references for Florida coastal projects. The file explicitly disclaims that the survey data are provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a signed and sealed professional survey product.

The survey data supports the broader Beach Nourishment Project - Reach II, which involves placing approximately 1.8 million cubic yards of offshore beach-compatible sand across 5.5 miles of critically eroded coastline in Painter's Hill, Beverly Beach, and northern Flagler Beach. The project, funded through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection with $44,544,369.25 in state cost sharing and eligible for federal FEMA funding, requires bidders to submit sealed proposals by April 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with an optional pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 27, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Work is to commence upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed and must be completed within 240 calendar days, with a total contract performance period of 365 calendar days. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all requirements, with the contractor required to furnish 100 percent performance and payment bonds, comprehensive insurance coverage, and maintain a one-year warranty bond following project acceptance.
