(APTIM) for professional coastal engineering and biological support services related to the management and nourishment of Sector 3 (Wabasso Beach). The Sector 3 project area is a critically eroded 6.6 -mile section of engineered shoreline that extends from the Seaview Subdivision south past the Turtle Trail beach park. The Sector 3 coastline suffered significant storm related losses to the beach and dune system from the impacts of Hurricanes Ian (2022) and Nicole (2022) creating the need for repair. On November 7, 2023, the BCC awarded Bid No. 2024004 to Dickerson Infrastructure, Inc. dba Dickerson Florida, Inc. for the Sector 3 Hurricanes Ian and Nicole Dune Renourishment Project. Construction commenced on December 1, 2023 and completed on April 13, 2024. The project consisted of a dune restoration project that placed approximately 223,040 cubic yards of beach compatible sand fill and installing approximately 728,633 native dune plants along the shoreline in Indian River County from FDEP range monuments R20 to R55. Regulatory permits issued for the beach restoration activities identify post -construction related monitoring to be performed on a set schedule for several years following completion of construction. These monitoring activities are evaluated to demonstrate compliance with permit conditions. APTIM will develop an engineering monitoring report that discusses the physical performance of the beach fill project in order to meet Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permit requirements. The proposed Work Order No. 2018006-20, in the amount of $28,218.00 provides professional services for assessing the project performance in the form of a Year 1 Physical Monitoring Report related to the Sector 3 Hurricanes Ian and Nicole Dune Renourishment Project.
