▪ Shorebird monitoring - $25,000
▪ Contingency $290,000
The cost estimate is based on recent historical pricing to support an anticipated construction start date of November 1,
2024. Placement of this sand is expected to renourish the beach for a design life of five (5) years, assuming no
exceptional storms, hurricanes, or unexpected weather conditions.
The sand quantities estimated for this project are based on surveys performed in January / February 2024. Actual
quantities needed based on field conditions will be determined immediately prior to construction. An adjustment of up to
+/- 25% in sand quantities is assumed for this item.
This project is currently being solicited with a bid opening scheduled for September 23, 2024. Approval of this item will
allow staff to work with Procurement to request a Purchase Order for sand production by Stewart Materials under
Contract No. 21-7827 so that the beach fill material can be stockpiled and ready to haul once the renourishment
construction contract is awarded. Prior to expenditure of funds, the Purchase Order will be presented to the Tourist
Development Council and will be subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
This Executive Summary is authorization to proceed with project planning, and all expenditures of tourist development
taxes will be presented to the Tourist Development Council and Board of County Commissioners prior to the expenditure
of funds.
This item is consistent with the Quality of Place Objectives of the County’s Strategic Plan.
