EASEMENTS NECESSARY TO DEMONSTRATE CONSTRUCTIBILITY AND SECURE FUNDING <br />Partial funding for Sectors 3 and 7 Beach and Dune Restoration Projects is made available <br />through FEMA funding as shown in the table below. FEMA funding requires that projects be <br />completed within 18 months of Project Worksheet issuance. As the Sector 3 and Sector 7 Beach <br />and Dune Restoration Projects are very large and complex, extensions to FEMA funding have <br />previously been requested in order to retain funding availability. The granting of extensions <br />typically requires demonstration of project constructability by the County to FEMA, however <br />the constructability of the project(s) is contingent upon the County obtaining enough <br />easements from the property owners within the limits of the project(s) to justify the protection <br />benefit to the shoreline of such a project. Requesting extensions does run the risk of FEMA not <br />granting the extension, and thus the County losing potential funding sources. Additionally, <br />FDEP Local Governmental Funding Requests (LGFR) grants are also made available for these <br />projects, and these Grants also come with deadlines for project completion, or risk the loss of <br />funds if an extension is not granted. FDEP LGFR 171R2 requ.ires project completion by <br />4/30/2021, and grant 191R2 expires on 11/30/2021. <br />SECTOR 3 SECTOR 7 <br />FEMA Hurricane Matthew <br />$4,655,204.27 <br />$2,384,436.65 <br />FEMA Hurricane Irma <br />$2,759,508.70 <br />$971,248.65 <br />FEMA Hurricane Dorian <br />$2,335,398.63 <br />$2,145,296.13 <br />FDEP Grants <br />171R2 $446,551.30 <br />191R2 $307,538.00 <br />Total Funding <br />$10,196,662.90 <br />$5,808,519.43 <br />PROJECT BID STATUS <br />On July 26, 2020 the County advertised both the Sector 3 and Sector 7 Beach and Dune <br />Restoration Projects, soliciting bids to restore the dunes and beaches using sand from an <br />approved upland sand source or from the County's offshore borrow area identified in the <br />respective Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Permits. <br />The bid opening for the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project was held on September 9, <br />2020.
