BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) Since 1973, the City of Delray Beach has made major strides in restoring their eroded beach. Once at risk to being overtaken by the ocean, highway A1A and its neighboring properties have been protected by the wide beach. The beach of Delray Beach is known through the United States as a wonderful beach experience destination and an important economic asset to the City and State. To date, the City of Delray Beach (the City) has participated in eight beach nourishment projects. Approximately 7.9 million cubic yards of sand from offshore borrow areas have been placed as a result of the City's beach preservation efforts. Since the initial nourishment of 1973, the City has maintained the beach through planned, periodic beach renourishment on five occasions, including 1978, 1984, 1992, 2002 and 2013. Storm damage repair projects were constructed in 2005 and 2014 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in response to losses from the active 2004 hurricane season and 2012’s Hurricane Sandy. Since the initial restoration in 1973, the project area retains approximately 5.1 million cubic yards of beach compatible material, which is 64% of the total volume placed. The retention of material within the project area has continually improved, without significantly changing renourishment volumes of individual projects. Delray Beach after the 2013 truck Haul dune repair project (2013). The Fifth Periodic Beach Renourishment Project was constructed in March and April 2013 and included the placement of approximately 1,158,500 cubic yards of sediment along the 1.9‐mile project area in Delray Beach. The project reestablished the federally authorized project, based on the most recent federal design document, the 2001 Limited Reevaluation Report. The project also replaced losses caused by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. APTIM engineers provided all of the engineering services required for each project since 1978, including project design, geotechnical investigations, environmental studies, State and Federal permitting, surveying services and construction oversight required to build each project. The beach at Delray Beach won the “Best Restored Beach” award in 2002, and the American Shore and Beach Protection Association’s “Best Beach” award in 2005 and 2013. Emergency Dune Repair After the passage of Hurricane Sandy off the coast of Florida, the northern end of Delray Beach in Palm Beach County was riddled with dune scarping. This northern area had historically been stable and was therefore not included in the upcoming 2013 Fifth Periodic Beach Renourishment. To quickly address this need, the City of Delray Beach worked with APTIM to obtain an FDEP field permit for a truck haul sand placement project. APTIM also investigated a permit modification that would allow dredged sand to be stock piled during the upcoming periodic beach nourishment and then transported up the beach to the northern end. APTIM surveyors conducted pre‐ and post‐construction beach surveys of the impacted area. APTIM engineers coordinated
