PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FROM ANY ENTITY OTHER THAN THE PREVIOUSLY LISTED FIRMS INCLUDED IN THE GROUP1 MATOC POOL.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The proposed project is to construct beach nourishment along 4 miles of the Atlantic Ocean shoreline commencing south from the northern boundary of Martin County between the FDEP reference monuments R-1 through R-25. The approved historical beach fill template included a 9O-foot wide berm at Elevation +6.5 NAVD 88. The constructed foreshore slope would be 1:10. At the south of the project, the beach tapers to the existing profile at monument R-25. The beach fill design also includes a 65-foot wide dune feature that has a 20-foot wide crest at Elevation +11.0 NAVD 88.

For this project, the Contractor shall construct alternate equal-length segments of shoreline using the historical template mentioned above with an experimental construction template. The experimental or turtle-friendly template would begin at the design toe of the dune at Elevation +6.5 NAVD 88. The design beach profile would slope at 1 on 50 to Elevation +5.5 NAVD 88 (50-foot wide). From this point, the turtle-friendly profile shall slope at 1 on 20 to mean low water (Elevation +2.6 NAVD 88). This experimental segment of fill shall also include the dune feature as specified above. The distance from R-1 to R-25 is approximately 21,600 feet. Each 2000-foot segment shall be separated by a 700-foot transition. The north limit of the project shall transition into the existing beach profile at R-1 with a 200-foot taper.

Magnitude of construction is between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00.
To fill this project will require a hopper dredge or similar equipment to obtain beach quality sand that will come from a borrow site located approximately 6 nautical miles offshore of the northern portion of the project. Designated pipeline corridors shall be used by the Contractor for access to the beach. This will minimize impact on the marine habitat offshore. The request for proposal will be issued on 10 OCTOBER 2012 and proposals will be due on or about 09 NOVEMBER 2012. The award of the task order will be made on the basis of Lowest Price Technical Acceptable (LPTA). For LPTA, the technical evaluation factors are availability of technically acceptable plant and equipment and past performance. Districts can contact the Jacksonville District regarding contractors' performance under the MATOC and/or check contractors' past performance on PPIRS (CCASS). See attached request for proposal for submission requirements.
