Change Order No. 1 decreases the amount of <br />sand by 99,861 cy (a reduction of $4,313,995.20) and also decreases the Force Account by <br />$1,230,000.00, resulting in lowering the completed final project cost to $8,630,742.80. <br />Construction of the Sector 3, Phase 2 Beach and Dune Restoration Project (IRC -2109) has since <br />been deemed complete by the County and contracted Engineer, Aptim Environmental & <br />Infrastructure, LLC (APTIM).
