Mr. Brantley of the DEP that their sand would not be turned down; that some of their sand was <br />already on Sector 3; and relayed Bob Brantley's comment that the majority of the Sector 3 job <br />was a dune restoration. <br />Dr. Gorham explained why the Sector 3 Project is a Beach Restoration Project, which is <br />authorized under a Joint Coastal Permit, and that the sand sources which are authorized for this <br />Project must be done so through the Joint Coastal Permit process. <br />County Administrator Joseph Baird noted that the County had been unable to get a <br />written assurance from Mr. Brantley that the DEP would permit the upland sand sources. <br />Mr. Cramer felt if the sand miners are not given a chance, the County would be missing <br />a golden opportunity. <br />Mr. Smith believed that if the RFP is delayed, by default the upland providers would be <br />excluded because they would be unable to put 1/2 million yards of sand up and have it dried and <br />prepared for the beach placement in time, because of turtle season. <br />It was the Board's Consensus to put this item on the Agenda for the May 12, 2009 <br />meeting, with the option to remove it if Commissioner Wheeler is not in attendance. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis commented that 20% of the design work would have to <br />be modified if the bids are accepted prior to receiving the permits, which would open up the <br />whole Project to Change Orders, after the bids are in. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan reiterated the need for further information, and said that the <br />Board members would weigh these matters at the May 12, 2009 Commission meeting. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-0 <br />vote (Commissioner Wheeler absent), the Motion was <br />27 <br />May 5, 2009 <br />
