VIII. New Business
1. Beach Renourishment
Gary McAlpin presented the Executive Summary "Update the CAC and TDC
relative to bid No. 13 -6067R to renourish the Vanderbilt, Pelican Bay, Park Shore
and Naples Beaches via a offshore sand source utilizing hopper dredges along with
presenting alternatives for consideration and solicit Advisory Board
recommendations " dated June 20, 2013 for consideration: He reported:
• The County previously requested bids for the major beach renourishment
project from truck haulers and dredgers with bids being received from
truck haulers only.
• The County deemed the truck haul bids unqualified and decided to release
a second request for bid for the major beach renourishment for response
by dredge contractors only.
• The County received one bid from the request from Great Lakes Dock and
Dredge (GLDD) at $32M.
• The large bid amount is due to the high demand for dredging projects
including those necessary to repair major storm damage in the
northeastern portion of the country and projects approved by the US Army
Corps of Engineer in other regions.
• The County's budget for the project is approximately $15M and based on
the bid received, the following options are being considered:
1. Work with GLDD to evaluate and eliminate, if possible the "High Cost Obstacles
and Risks" to reduce the bid price. Some of these might be:
• Alternate material screening methods to eliminate dredge screening and
downtime.
• Eliminate pipeline relocations.
• Dredging/renourishment when capacity is available.
• Other methods of renourishment in "low fill volume" areas.

2. Reject the GLDD bid and postpone dredging for a year but be prepared to perform
emergency truck haul renourishment to deal with critical hot spots as they
develop.
• This would also include a permitting update component.
3. Reject the GLDD bid and rebid the project utilizing a modified truck haul
approach and extremely close coordination with the City of Naples. This project
would begin as soon as turtle nesting season ends or the beaches become available
and continue until 5/1/2014. Dual sand mines, dual haul /placement contractors
and multiple discharge locations on the beach would be required along with
approval to stockpile screened sand prior to placement. This approach would be
difficult but would be doable with coordinated planning and cooperation by all
stakeholders.
Discussion occurred on the options proposed including the rationale for the bid
amount, the probability of prices decreasing next year, impacts of truck haul
renourishment on turtle nesting season, traffic impacts, potential beach access points
for the truck haul, etc.
Chairman Sorey reported the preliminary conversations with representatives and
citizens of the City of Naples indicate a truck haul project, which was previously
opposed is "better than no beach renourishment at all." The scope of work would
need to incorporate constraints to manage vehicular and pedestrian traffic and
possible remediation to any damages on area roadways/bridges, etc. caused by the
activity.
Speaker
Bob Krasowski addressed the Committee supporting Option #3 and recommended,
given the cost estimates garnered for dredging renourishment, future workshops be
scheduled engage Stakeholders in developing innovative ideas for beach
renourishment.
Mr. McAlpin requested the Committee provided a recommendation on which Option
should be executed.
Discussion occurred recommending the Board of County Commissioners execute
Option I if the revised price quote is within acceptable budgeted parameters. If not,
execute Option 3 for a truck haul project.
The Committee was polled on the proposed recommendation with consensus
reached to endorse it. Ms. Roddy, Mr. Rios, Chairman Sorey, Mr. Moreland and
Mr. Burke voted "yes. " Mr. Raymond voted "no. "
2. Discussion of "What Promotes Tourism" for Beach Inlet Projects
* Ordinance 2013 -30: Amending the TDC Ordinance
* Resolution 2013 -81: Amending TDC Fund Policy
CAC September 12, 2013

Colleen Greene, Assistant County Attorney provided County Ordinance 2013 -30
and Resolution 2013 -81 for information purposes. She reported County Staff is in
the process of developing criteria to aid in determining if items proposed to be
funded with Tourist Tax Revenues "promote tourism." The criteria will be based
on County Ordinances and Policies, State Statutes and Attorney General
Opinions. Staff will present the proposed criteria to the Committee when they
have been developed. Ultimately, the intent is to have the criteria approved by the
Board of County Commissioners.
