He noted: • The project involves renourishment of Clam Pass Park beach, an activity which has not been undertaken in its entirety since 2007. • The work will be completed under the auspices of the new 15 year beach renourishment permit via truck haul or dredging. • The scope of work includes a"critical eroded beach"analysis to determine any Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)cost sharing funds which may be available for the area. • The engineering/design costs are high per the cubic yards of material intended to be placed in the area due to the fixed costs associated with undertaking this type of work. The following was noted under Committee discussions: • With the engineering/design costs being comparably high for the project,consideration may want to be given to combining the project with another project. • On a related note,any sand dredged from Clam Pass is placed on the down drift beaches at the time the work is completed. Mr. McAlpin reported in relation to the engineering/designs costs,the activity is a stand alone item, however it is envisioned the physical work associated with renourishing the area will be combined with another project to gain economies of scale. Mr. Sorey moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners accept a proposal from CB&I Environmental&Infrastructure,Inc. dated July 13, 2015 for the Tropical Storm Debby beach renourishment design,permitting and Engineer of Record certification;approve a Work Order under Contract 15-6382 for a not to exceed amount of$57,649,authorize the County Manager or his designee to execute this work order and hereby finds the item promotes tourism.
