anticipated getting final permits sometime between Jan 15, 2010 and April 22, 2010. Dr. <br />Gorham divulged that between the Sebastian Inlet District's contribution of $4.68 million <br />towards the local share of Sector 3 construction costs, and the probability of the County securing <br />(within 3 years) a 50% cost-sharing Grant from the Florida Department of Environmental <br />Protection (FDEP), it is possible that the beach project could be built at no net cost to the <br />County. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher said that due to conversations and a letter of support received <br />from State Representative Ralph Poppell (copy on file), he felt the permitting for the upland sand <br />sources would be on an accelerated course. <br />The Chairman called a break at 10:44 a.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:55 a.m., <br />with all members present. <br />Dr. Gorham presented staff's recommendation as follows: (1) if completion of the <br />project by May 2010 is the overriding factor, the Bid Award to Great Lakes Dock and Dredge <br />Company under their base bid; (2) if stimulus to the local economy is the overriding factor, the <br />Bid Award to Storrawater and Underground, LLC under their alternative bid. He noted that the <br />Board may also want to consider the option of the award to Stormwater and Underground, LLC <br />under their base bid, wherein construction can begin this year, and be completed the following <br />year, if necessary. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to use Ranger <br />Construction Industries, Inc., and the upland sand sources. <br />Alluding to the support being offered by the State Representatives and the County's <br />lobbyist, Commissioner Wheeler affirmed that the permitting for the upland sand sources would <br />be obtained this year. <br />31 <br />September 8, 2009 <br />
