Engineering Services
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
On April 3, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a contract (RFQ#2018029) with Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC. (APTIM) for professional coastal engineering and biological support services related to the management and restoration of the Sector 5 (City of Vero Beach) beach project area. The Sector 5 project area is a 3.1 mile critically eroded section of engineered shoreline that extends just north of Tracking Station Beach Park and ends just south of the Riomar Beach Access. The Sector 5 Project Area suffered significant storm related losses to the beach and dune system from the impacts of Hurricanes Ian and Nicole during the 2022 hurricane season. These storm-related impacts, combined with prescribed maintenance activities to address background erosion, has created the need for a Sector 5 Beach and Dune Renourishment project.
The proposed APTIM Work Order No. 2018029-13, in the amount of $67,479.55, provides professional services for engineering and pre-construction related services related to a future Sector 5 Project. These services include:
· Task 1: Agency coordination ensuring permit compliance ($2,921.00)
· Task 2: Update construction drawings ($14,940.00)
· Task 3: Assistance with bid development and solicitation ($16,642.80)
· Task 4: Pre-Construction meetings and submittals ($7,154.80)
· Task 5: Additional late-season sea turtle monitoring ($25,820.95)
All subsequent engineering support for construction and post-construction monitoring of the Sector 5 Project area will be addressed through future work orders.
