BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) Indian River County following construction of the Sector 3 Dune Repair Project (2015). Program Description: Since 2013, APTIM staff have been providing quality coastal engineering consulting services to Indian River County. During this time, we have successfully implemented major beach management initiatives for the County. Our team has unequaled direct project experience on recent Indian River County beach restoration projects. This experience includes beach management, feasibility studies, design, engineering, permitting, construction management, biological support services, physical monitoring, grant writing assistance, and post‐storm assessments. Project Description: The initial Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project was completed in three phases between 2010 and 2012. The initial project was 6.6 miles long and spanned from R‐20 to R‐55. Following completion of the initial project, the effects of Hurricane Sandy passing off the coast of Florida in October 2012 resulted in significant dune erosion to the project area. APTIM designed, permitted, managed construction, and currently monitors the Sector 3 Dune Repair Project, constructed in the winter of 2014/15. Instead of obtaining a new permit to address the damages, APTIM was able to obtain an FDEP permit modification for a one‐time truck haul sand placement project to quickly address this need. There was tremendous savings of time and money for the County to have the repair project implemented this way. APTIM developed a feasibility study to specifically address the damages that occurred from Hurricane Sandy. The renourishment project was to have “no impact” to the nearshore hardbottom communities fronting the project area. The final project design entailed a modest dune feature and planting of dune vegetation from Treasure Shores Beach Park south to northern John’s Island (R‐24 to R‐55). All construction activities occurred seaward of the existing dune vegetation line and above the Mean High Water Line (MHWL). Sand for the construction was obtained from two upland sand sources, Blue Goose Mine (f.k.a. Hammond Mine) and Davis Mine, and transported to the project site via truck haul method. In total, the project placed approximately 173,068 cubic yards of sand. Following sand placement, the constructed dune crest was vegetated with Approximately 189,300 native plantings. APTIM developed the post‐construction physical monitoring report and continues to assist regarding post‐project physical monitoring and biological monitoring support.
