BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (District) is preparing plans and specifications for the Fire Island Inlet to Montauk Point, Suffolk County, NY, Contract 3 Project.

FIMP Contract 3B is a structural contract that includes offshore dredging and sand placement, constructing coastal process features, replacement of five pedestrian crossovers, and construction of four vehicular crossings. Placement of fill to form a feeder beach at Downtown Montauk was originally proposed as a portion of Contract 3.

However, it will now be included in FIMI PIR 2019-11 as an option.

1. Beach and Berm Construction at Tiana Reach: Work includes offshore dredging and hydraulic placement of approximately 1,900,000 cubic yards of sand from a designated offshore borrow area. The project will construct a beach berm along approximately 20,000 ft of shoreline. The design berm will have a width of 100 ft at a crest elevation of +8.5 ft NAVD88.

Offshore dredging and hydraulic placement of sand from a designated offshore borrow area to the Tiana Beach Shoreline. The designated borrow area is located approximately

0.66 miles south of the Tiana Reach placement area. Fill will be placed to construct a beach berm with a crest elevation of +8.5 ft NAVD88 (+9.5ft NGVD29). The design includes a foreshore slope of 1V:10H to +1 ft NAVD88, and an offshore slope of 1V:20H to meet the existing seabed. The approximate fill volume is 1,000,000 cubic yards.

2. Coastal Process Features (CPFs): Work includes two Coastal Process Features (CPFs #11 & #12) located on the eastern portion of Westhampton Island, west of Shinnecock Inlet and Shinnecock County Park West. CPF #11 is located along the Dune Road bayside shoreline and will consist of fill placement within the offshore channel and along the shoreline as well as groin removal. CPF #12 is located at Tiana Bayside Park and will consist of bayside fill placement along the channel and shoreline and burial of existing gabions.

The initial expected volume is approximately 100,000 cubic yards for the two CPFs.

3. ADA-Compliant Pedestrian Crossovers: Work includes the replacement of five existing pedestrian crossovers with new, ADA-compliant structures.

4. Vehicular crossings: Work includes the construction of vehicular crossovers which will involve site grading and installation of multi-layer roadbed using geotextile fabric and a gravel surface. The scope includes creating a fenced, 20-foot wide, traffic lane to safely connect existing roadways and parking areas to beach access.

The project provides erosion risk reduction via berm fill to the ocean shoreline, augments coastal resiliency with restoration of the barrier island, enhances the overall barrier island and natural system coastal processes, and enhances public access through upgraded facilities. The feeder beach is to provide adequate sand into the system to maintain the existing, natural beach and to account for sediment loss that is expected over a four-year cycle.

Construction cost is in the range of $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.

OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS

The Contractor will conform to all local, state, and federal laws while carrying out the construction process for this project.

The Contractor shall prepare and submit a site-specific safety and health plan to the government for approval prior to mobilization.
