City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Marine and Coastal Professional Engineering Consulting Services (CCNA) | RFQ No. 18‐02‐01 Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. 40 01C032018D APTIM worked to "piggy‐back" the Coquina Beach project onto the Federal project, saving Manatee County millions of dollars in mobilization/demobilization costs to nourish Coquina Beach. APTIM provided geotechnical services to identify the sand source, the engineering services, State and FEMA funding acquisition assistance, permitting services, extensive environmental services, technical consultation and construction oversight services to help restore this portion of the island’s receding coastline. APTIM also developed and acquired permits for a seven‐ mile‐long underwater pipeline corridor which allowed the dredging contractor to use the same equipment to deliver sand to both ends of the island. The use of an underwater pipeline to place sand in Coquina Beach avoided pipeline placement on the beach over almost the entire length of Anna Maria Island. APTIM also designed and constructed an approximate 5‐acre mitigative artificial reef approximately 1,100 feet off the coast of Coquina Beach. APTIM staff worked aggressively on the County's behalf to limit the amount of required artificial reef as replacement for burial of nearshore hardbottom by the beach nourishment project, again saving Manatee County construction funds. Other notable efforts for the county: Federal Coordination and Funding in the City of Anna Maria Island APTIM assisted Manatee County with proceeding under the authority of Section 206 as the non‐federal sponsor of construct the federally authorized Central Beach nourishment project. Section 206 allowed Manatee County to engineer and construct the project, control the design and schedule and reduce engineering and construction costs. APTIM adapted the construction project to include a 0.6‐mile coastal segment in the City of Anna Maria, which is not part of the Federal project. Emergency Response We have assisted Manatee County in securing funds and construction assistance for multiple storm repair projects: 2005 and 2011 projects in response to hurricane activity in 2004 (H. Charlie/Ivan), 2014 project in response to T.S. Debby, and currently working with the County to obtain FEMA funding associated with the storm damages from Hurricane Hermine and Hurricane Irma. Coastal Structure Removal & Replacement APTIM assisted the County with the Cortez Groins Removal and Replacement project, which included the demolition of three dilapidated pier‐type structures and replacement with new permeable adjustable groins in order maintain the stabilization of the shoreline that fronts the island’s evacuation route. The project was completed in 2016. Coquina Beach (2015).
