MAY 14 1936 <br />Ll <br />BOOK 64 PA;F 433, <br />I am fairly confident that we would be exempt from a general permit, however,. <br />staff does not have the original 1968 dredging specs nor a�date that the original <br />work was performed. Our. available records indicate the bridge was opened June 12, <br />1970. <br />ALTERMTIVE,S FOR DREDGING <br />If the 150' wide channel is excavated to -4.5' (original design -6.5'). to <br />qualify as maintenance dredging, a maximum of 10,000 c.y. of material would be <br />removed. If .the material is hauled away by barge, -the following two large companies <br />could perform the work: <br />1) Norfolk Dredging -Stuart <br />Phone 287-2557 <br />2) Prosperity Dredging -Palm Beach Gardens <br />Mr. Glen Milling, President <br />Phone 622-6422 <br />Phone 626-4318 <br />Will dredge Canavel Harbor in 2 or 3 weeks and maybe able to give us a price <br />soon. <br />If the material was hydraulically pumped inland, the following companies could <br />do the work: <br />1) Dock Master's Division -American Marine <br />George Dawes -Representative <br />10,000 c.y. @ $3.00 = $30,000. <br />2) Doss Marine -Stuart, Florida . <br />287-5663 <br />Will call back for estimate <br />3) North American Dredging -out of business <br />305-799-1640 <br />4) Trans State Dredging -Ft; Pierce -out of business <br />-305-461-6129 - <br />The County Road and Bridge Department could do the work only if the Northwest <br />Dragline were stationed on shore and a dozer or track machine tow the bucket out off <br />shore -into position. The dragline could then pull the material out. . County trucks <br />would haul it away. This was tried in 1978 and the saltwater corroded the dragline, <br />the D-4 dozer, and county trucks to the point that the Dodge and Chevrolet trucks <br />were replaced. <br />Attached is a copy of the project area, past D.E.R. permit, etc. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that if this work is to be done, it be contracted out to a <br />Marine Contractor. Based upon recent inquiry, the cost could be$30,000 to $50,000. <br />If the work is done, perhaps the dredging can be pumped to restore the eroded <br />areas on the causeway. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that this concerns <br />the western -most bridge of the four sections of the Wabasso <br />causeway and perhaps the second bridge could stand some dredging <br />also. <br />38 <br />
