The requirement for additional sand resulted in a project cost increase of <br />$1,879,240.02 from $4,511,712.00 to $6,390,952.02. <br />Change Order No. 2 is to account for restoration costs associated with an alternative beach <br />access corridor, as well as decreases in contracted amounts of sand delivered/placed and <br />vegetation delivered/placed in the amount of $419,331.08, decreasing the final total project <br />cost to $5,971,620.94. <br />Construction of the Sector 5 Beach and Dune Restoration Project (IRC -1923) has been deemed <br />complete by the County and contracted Engineer, Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC <br />(APTIM). Certifications of project completion, as required under the permits issued for the <br />project, have been submitted by APTIM to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection <br />and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Additionally, survival rates for the dune <br />plantings met contract survival rates throughout the warranty period which expired on May 25, <br />2020. <br />Rio -Bak has been paid $5,437,454.06 to date, with $286,181.79 held in retainage. Rio -Bak has <br />submitted Contractor's Application for Payment No. 1923-5 for final payment and release of <br />retainage in the amount of $534,166.88. <br />11 <br />
