CAC March 8, 2012 VI -1 Approval of CAC Minutes 3of6 3. Collier Creek Dredging Completion — Verbal Update Gary McAlpin noted the issue of the sand placement was resolved with the Hideaway Beach Tax District and the project was completed as proposed. 4. Clam Bay Marker — Verbal Update Gary McAlpin noted Florida's Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) decision to deny the request for an administrative hearing in regards to the permit issued for installation of the informational markers proposed in Clam Bay /Pass has been appealed by David Buser. The County is moving forward with placement of the informational signs as proposed on County Beaches and /or other onshore lands. 5. Vanderbilt Bathroom — Verbal Update Gary McAlpin noted there has been a request by various parties for an administrative hearing on FDEP's "Intent to Issue a Coastal Construction Control Line Variance ". 6. RFP Engineering Consultants — TDC Rejection — Verbal Update Gary McAlpin noted the Tourist Development Council (TDC) rejected the recommended "short list of consultants" for engineering and permitting required for the City of Marco Island and City of Naples /Collier County's major beach renourishment project as they had not reviewed the proposed conceptual plan for the project. The tentative schedule is for the CAC to review the proposal today, the TDC on February 27 and the Board of County Commissioners on March 13. 7. Structural Inspection/Repair Clam Pass Bridge a. Backup Material Gary McAlpin presented the Executive Summary "Recommendation to authorize structural pilings, inspections and bridge repairs to the Clam Pass Draw Bridge and approve a budget of $72,500 to complete this work" dated February 9, 2012 for informational purposes. He noted the project's recommendations fall under the purview of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, however it was presented to the committee for informational purposes. The Committee recommended the County authorize and complete the necessary inspections of the structural components (pilings, etc.) of the bridge and determine its life expectancy before moving forward with allocating expenditures necessary to complete the proposed repairs. 8. Wiggins Pass — Verbal Update Gary McAlpin and Mr. Moreland (Chairman of the Wiggin's Pass Subcommittee) provided an update on the status of permit applications to revise the dredging template for Wiggin's Pass Mr. Sorey arrived at 1: 56 p.m. and assumed the Chair 9. North Marco Beaches Laser Grading — Verbal Update CAC March 8, 2012 VI -1 Approval of CAC Minutes 4 of 6 Gary McAlpin provided an update on the FDEP permit application for the County's long term permission to laser -grade the north Marco Beaches. VIII. New Business 1. Conceptual Plan /Schedule Collier County Main Beach Renourishment Gary McAlpin provided the document "TS Fay FEAM funding renewal discussion" dated February 9, 2012 as a primer to the item. a. Backup Material Gary McAlpin noted the item contained backup material and presented the Executive Summary "Recommendation to approve the Conceptual Plan for the FY2013114 beach renourishment of Barefoot, Vanderbilt, Clam Pass, Park Shore and Naples Beaches" dated February 9, 2012. He provided an overview of 4 options available for the major renourishment project for City of Naples /Collier County Beaches proposed by staff (based on previous input from the Coastal Advisory Committee): Option 1— Execute the TS Fay FEMA design This would place 175,000 CY's of fill sand on the beach at a cost of approximately $1 OM. This sand placement would only restore damage from TS Fay and not extend the life of the project whatsoever. It would not address any hot spot locations and would not include any jetty work to stabilize the beach. Only a minor permit modification for the extra nourishment would be required. Option 2 — Execute the 2005/2006 design This would place 482,000 CY's of fill sand on the beach at an estimated cost of $19M. This would continue the six -year design project life that most likely could be extended. This project would not maximize the renourishment cycle and does not address Clam Pass or Barefoot Beach renourishment needs. Additionally, it does not address beach hot spots, the groins at Park Shore or the need for a jetty spur south of Doctor's Pass. Option 3 — Execute the 2005/2006 design with beach and hot spot enhancements This would place 612,000 CY's of fill sand on the beach at a cost of approximately $24M. It would also include: removal of the groins at Clam Pass ($400K); renourishment of Clam Pass Park Beach (30K CY's at $950K); and for the repair /rebuild of Barefoot Beach GOOK CY's at $2.8M) that has lost 200 linear width of beach over the last 15 -20 years. This approach does not maximize the renourishment cycle and continues with a six plus year design that has the potential to be stretched to a longer life. It does however begin to address significant hot spots that have been identified through beach monitoring and modeling. Option 4 — Execute a ten -year proiect that maximizes the renourishment cycle This option would maximize the time between renourishment events with a 787K CY renourishment for an estimated cost of $31 M. This plan would increase the beach height (5 feet NAVD or 6.3 feet NGVD) as well as construction width in sections required to increase critical mass to resist erosion and produce a true ten -year beach renourishment. A jetty spur on Doctor's Pass is included to help minimize erosion on down drift beaches. CAC March 8, 2012 VI -1 Approval of CAC Minutes 5 of 6 In addition to the renourishment of Vanderbilt, Park Shore and Naples Beaches, this option includes renourishment for Clam Pass Park Beach, rebuild /repairs at Barefoot Beach, the removal of groins at Park Shore Beach, a jetty spur for Doctor's Pass and it addresses additional hot spots by adding critical mass through increased sand placement. A FDEP permit modification is required for this option. Sneaker Nicole Johnson, Conservancy of Southwest Florida The Committee recommended the Executive Summary (and/or any other similar presentations) clearly identify the cost savings associated with each Option. Mr. Moreland moved for the Coastal Advisory Committee to recommend that Option 4 be executed. Additionally, proposing the Option 4.A which includes the scope of work proposed in Option 4 and the concept of the County providing stockpiles of sand at strategic locations to assist in the renourishment of "hot spots" or other renourishment emergencies that may come to light over time. The project incorporates concepts of "Scope Management" as necessary. Second by Mr. Burke. Carried unanimously 8 — 0. 2. Marco South Revised Schedule/Permit Application Gary McAlpin presented the Executive Summary "Recommendation to approve the FY12 113 Marco South Beach renourishment /structure rebuild plan" dated February 9, 2012 for consideration. Mr. Pires left the meeting at 2:37p.m. Speaker Nancy Ritchie, City of Marco Island Mr. Waldack moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners approve the "FY 12113 Marco South Beach renourishment /structure rebuild plan" and recommends that staff contact the Hideaway Beach Taxing District for their renourishment schedule to determine if there would be any cost savings available for the parties via a consolidated renourishment effort in the area.
