Description:

The project is located along the Canaveral National Seashore within the Playalinda District in Titusville, Florida and within the Apollo District in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The project will replace 11 of the 21 beach boardwalks in the Playalinda and Apollo Districts. The boardwalks include nine (9) pedestrian boardwalks and two (2) equestrian boardwalks.

The Canaveral National Seashore hosts the largest sea turtle nesting program in the country. All work is expected to be completed either before or after sea turtle nesting season. If any proposed construction is conducted during sea turtle nesting season (March 1 to November 30), daily early morning surveys for sea turtle nests shall be conducted through the completion of the project. Nests will be marked and avoided with a 10-foot buffer. Nesting surveys must be conducted by personnel with prior experience and training in nesting survey and egg relocation procedures. Surveyors must have a valid Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) permit. Nesting surveys must be conducted daily between sunrise and 9AM.

Surveys must be performed in such a manner to ensure that construction activity does not occur in any location prior to completion of the necessary sea turtle protection measures. Relocation of sea turtle nests to accommodate construction is not authorized.

If work should occur May 1 through October 31, no construction equipment will be used or stored on the beach.

All excavations and temporary alteration of beach/dune topography shall be filled, covered, or leveled to the natural beach profile prior to 8PM each day.

Contractor must have experience with Helical Piers as they will be used in the construction of the new boardwalks.

All work performed shall be performed in accordance with all manufacturer instructions and requirements, Federal, State Regulations and Standards.

The Contractor is responsible for acquiring all necessary permits that are required for this project.

Equipment and vehicle staging/parking/storage areas should be located on the paved surfaces and outside of vegetated areas or areas of storm-buried vegetation.

The Park will remain open during construction, thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor impact.

The anticipated period of performance of 210 calendar days including any potential weather shutdown.
