2025-2026 Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project — Distribution of Additional Non -
Federal Funding
On August 19, 2025, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) opened bids for the proposed FY-2025/2026
Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project. Notably, this bid solicitation was the third attempt to secure a contract
for the regularly scheduled federal beach project (after two (2) failed attempts the previous year). The lowest
bid received for the project was above the available federal/non-federal funding currently identified for the
project, and the USACE has formally requested additional non-federal funding to move forward with
contracting with the lowest bidder.
W 113 :ky/1911J:T_Tli 115003
October 10, 2023 - Board approval to distribute the non-federal funding required for the proposed FY-
2024/2025 Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project. (Agenda Item 2023-61973)
October 30, 2024 — USACE bid opening for the proposed FY-2024/2025 consolidated Ft. Pierce Shore
Protection and Ft. Pierce Inlet Operations & Maintenance Dredging Projects; No bids received. In response to
the situation, the USACE quickly committed to rebidding the federal shore protection project in an attempt to
award a bid for beach construction during the FY-2024/2025 construction window.
January 21, 2025 — USACE bid opening for the attempted "rebid" of the FY-2024/2025 Ft. Pierce Shore
Protection Project — two (2) bids were received, but both bids were well above the anticipated cost of
construction; no contract was awarded.
February 18, 2025 - Board approval of an Emergency Truck Haul Beach Project (+/- 95,000 cubic yards) as a
result of not being able to successfully bid out the proposed FY-2024/2025 Fort Pierce Shore Protection
Project. (Agenda Item 2025-3118)
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
An additional $237,665.24 is needed from the non-federal sponsor to balance the cost -share ledger with the
USACE for the proposed FY-2025/2026 Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project. Funding is proposed from the
Erosion District Reserves, account #184-9910-599300-910000.

2024-2025 Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project — Distribution of Non -Federal
Funding
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) administers the Beach Management Funding
Assistance (BMFA) Program, which provides funding annually to assist eligible local governments with their
beach erosion control projects. St. Lucie County's Port, Inlet & Beach Department requested a total of
$1,790,737.00 in State funding during the FY-2024/25 Local Government Funding Request (LGFR) application
period for the FY-24/25 Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project. A large portion of the requested grant funding
($1,550,737) will go towards the next Federal nourishment event at Fort Pierce Beach (FY-24/25). The
balance of new state funding will be used for beach design and monitoring efforts associated with future
beach restoration. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) FY-2024 Civil Works Program includes funding
from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2022), where $2,477,000 was appropriated for future
construction and nourishment for Fort Pierce Beach. The outstanding balance of federal funding is currently
identified in the FY-24 President's Budget and both the House/Senate FY-24 Energy and Water Appropriation
Bills ($8,367,000), for a total federal contribution of up to $10,844,000 (77.76%) towards the next federal
beach project. The total project cost is estimated at $13,945,474.00, with the non-federal share estimated at
$3,101,474.00 (22.24%). If successful, the State (FDEP) may cost -share in up to 50% of the requested non-
federal share.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
July 18, 2023 - Board approval to submit the Beach Management Funding Assistance (BMFA) Program, Local
Government Funding Request (LGFR) to the State of Florida (FDEP) for the FY-2024/25 Fort Pierce Shore

Port, Inlet & Beaches
2025 Ft. Pierce Beach Emergency Truck Haul (+/- 95,000 Cubic Yards of Upland
Sand) - ITEM AMENDED
Long-term monitoring efforts and frequent observation(s) have shown that chronic and aggressive erosion
occurs along the northernmost segment of Fort Pierce Beach (the northern 2,000 linear feet of the 1.3-mile
federal beach project area). Given this fact, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) typically works with the
County to plan beach nourishment events every two (2) years, per the County/USACE Project Cooperation
Agreement (PCA). This frequency ensures protection of the adjacent upland areas and limits the level of risk
associated with future storm/hurricane events. In some situations, the USACE is unable to regularly fund a
previously planned nourishment event, or bid solicitations may be unsuccessful, or above the threshold for
the Corps to proffer a contract to the lowest bidder. In these situations, St. Lucie County is forced to consider
mitigating future risk by considering a locally funded, separate emergency beach nourishment action to
ensure temporary protection of upland development until the next project window for the federal project is
realized. This was the case in 2011 (Emergency Truck Haul, +/- 64,000 cubic yards), 2017 (F.I.N.D. beneficial -
use dredging project, +/- 74,000 cubic yards), and 2020 (Emergency Truck Haul, +/- 75,000 cubic yards) where
St. Lucie County executed emergency beach nourishment efforts to help protect upland infrastructure. In
these instances, federal projects were ultimately constructed in the following years; 2012, 2018, and 2023,
respectively.
St. Lucie County is (yet again) in a similar situation as described above, with the regularly scheduled federal
beach project unable to proceed this construction window. On October 30, 2024, the USACE received no bids
for the consolidated Operation & Maintenance Dredging of Fort Pierce Inlet and the Ft. Pierce Shore
Protection Projects. Upon receiving feedback from prospective contractors, the USACE de -coupled the two
projects and re -solicited bids for the Ft. Pierce Shore Protection Project alone. Unfortunately, this bid
solicitation was also unsuccessful, as bids were well above the initial cost estimate for executing a contract.
Considering this, and the historic erosional trends previously experienced during the other three (3)
emergency events recently undertaken (2011, 2017, and 2020), an Emergency Truck Haul (+/- 95,000 cubic
yards) project is proposed within the first +/- 2,000 linear feet of beach south of the south jetty. This project
will help protect the northernmost section of this highly eroded beach until the next possible federal beach
nourishment project window opens (anticipated winter 2025/Spring 2026). Sand for the emergency project
will come from an FDEP prequalified upland sand mine (Stewart Materials, Indrio Rd.) and will be trucked,
placed, and graded within the permitted construction template. Specific plans are pending and will be
Page 11 of 31
conveyed to the contractor before notice to proceed and will be consistent with our existing FDEP and USACE
permits. A copy of the draft plans for the 2020 Emergency Truck Haul project are included for general
reference purposes.
Work Authorization No. 14 (C20-09-772) with Taylor Engineering, Inc. ($109,148.00) includes those tasks
necessary to complete design, permitting, and construction oversight of the proposed 2025 Emergency Truck
Haul project at Fort Pierce Beach. Work Authorization No. 02 (C24-07-669) with Dickerson Infrastructure, Inc.
($3,948,610.00) includes those tasks necessary for the purchase, transport, and grading of up to 95,000 cubic
yards (133,000 tons) of beach quality sand for the proposed 2025 Emergency Truck Haul project at Fort Pierce
Beach. The total cost of the emergency project is currently estimated at around $4,057,758.00.
The close proximity of the current beach erosion to upland development/infrastructure at Fort Pierce Beach
warrants serious and immediate consideration. The failure to nourish this highly eroded section of Beach
before the start of the 2025 hurricane season and/or before the project specific sea turtle nesting
construction window ends (May 30, 2025) will substantially increase the risk associated with future storm
damages. For these reasons, PIB staff recommend the Board declare an emergency in association with all
aspects of the federal Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project until the next federal beach nourishment is
completed and the imminent threat of future damage to adjacent infrastructure has been abated.
Given that predicting future erosion is difficult, and highly dependent on weather, PIB staff also requests that
the Erosion District Board provide the County Administrator with specific authority to increase the volume of
sand placed during construction by up to 30,000 cubic yards (for a total project volume up to 125,000 cubic
yards), if necessity requires increased sand volume to compensate for additional erosion that may occur
between execution and completion of the project.
Photos of the experienced erosion as of 1-30-2025 are included for reference purposes.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
• September 15, 2020 — Board approval of Contract No. C20-09-772 with Taylor Engineering, Inc. for
Coastal Engineering Services.
• July 16, 2024 — Board approval of Contract No. C24-07-669 with Dickerson Infrastructure, Inc. for
Emergency Dune Restoration & Miscellaneous Beach Services.
• October 30, 2024 — USACE bid opening for the 2024/2025 consolidated Ft. Pierce Shore Protection
Project and Ft. Pierce Inlet Operations & Maintenance Dredging Project; No bids received. The USACE
to repackage and resolicit the Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project before the end of the beach
construction window.
• January 21, 2025 — USACE bid opening for the rebid 2024/2025 Ft. Pierce Shore Protection Project —
Bids were received but well above the anticipated cost of construction; no contract awarded.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
100% of the 2025 emergency truck haul project cost at Fort Pierce Beach will come from the Erosion District
Reserves (184-9910-599300-910000). Work Authorization No. 02 with Dickerson Infrastructure, Inc. (C24-07-
669) requires $3,948,610.00 to purchase, transport, and grade up to 95,000 cubic yards (133,000 tons) of
beach quality sand and Work Authorization No. 14 (C20-09-772) with Taylor Engineering, Inc. requires
$109,148.00 to perform pre -construction and during construction engineering services for the proposed
emergency effort.
Page 12 of 31
The Erosion District will include a request in the State's FY-25/26 Beach Management Funding Assistance
Program (BMFA) application to seek reimbursement for 50% of the cost of this emergency effort.
:�X�I�]►�il►�i1�►1�L��[�LA
Staff recommends Board approval of 1) a Declaration of Emergency and the assigning of specific authority to

Fort Pierce Beach Emergency Truck Haul Construction Administration Services
Scope of Work
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) last nourished the Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project (SPP)
during spring 2023. With bids coming in well above the proposed budget to construct the next
nourishment in 2025 per the authorized 2-year nourishment interval, St. Lucie County must construct an
emergency truck haul project to protect upland infrastructure within the severely eroded section of beach
immediately south of the inlet. To assist the County with implementation of the truck haul project in
compliance with FDEP Permit No. 0327791-001-JC and Department of the Army Permit No. SAJ-1993-
00026 (SP-KDS), Taylor Engineering, Inc. will provide St. Lucie County with construction services as
detailed below.
Task 1: Pre -Construction Services
Construction Documents
Taylor Engineering will prepare, and provide to the construction contractor, construction drawings and
specifications for the truck haul project. We will conduct pre -construction wading -depth beach profile
surveys at FDEP reference monuments R-34, R-34.5, R-35, R-35.5, and R-36 to define baseline conditions.
Based on the performance of the 2011 and 2020 emergency truck haul project, we assume a fill volume
of 75,000 cy (105,000 tons) is sufficient to protect the project area until 2026. We will develop a
construction template, within the footprint of the authorized SPP, with an approximate capacity of 75,000
cy (105,000 tons) between the south jetty (north of R-34) and R-36.
Pre -Construction Sediment Testing
We will coordinate with Stewart Materials to set up a site visit with their pit located at 13700 Indrio Road
in Fort Pierce, Florida to inspect and collect up to 3 samples of the material proposed to be placed on the
Fort Pierce Beach. We will perform the following tests at the Taylor Engineering Geology Lab to ensure
compliance with the permitted Sediment Quality Assurance and Quality Control Plan: gradation by sieving
(ASTM D6913/ASTM D1140), carbonate content, organic content (ASTM D2974), and Munsell color.
Pre -Construction Permit Submittals
We will notify FDEP about the upcoming truck haul project. FDEP Permit No. 0327791-001-JC and the
subsequent permit modifications specify several information submittals and actions required by the
Permittee prior to construction commencement as outlined below. Taylor Engineering will prepare the
A-1
ffewXamy
Eym
Page 21 of 31
EXHIBIT A
P2024-1 81 FORT PIERCE BEACH EMERGENCY TRUCK HAUL
pre -construction submittals and coordinate with FDEP to satisfy the County's pre -construction
responsibilities as Permittee.
Request for Notice to Proceed: The Permittee shall submit to the FDEP a written request for a
Notice to Proceed. The notice must include the following items for review and approval:
a. Turbidity monitoring qualifications
b. Turbidity monitoring scope of work
c. Final plans and specifications
d. Biological monitoring qualifications
Notice of Commencement: The Permittee must submit to the FDEP JCP Compliance Officer and
the appropriate FDEP district office a written notice of construction commencement at least 48
hours prior to commencement of construction. The notice shall indicate the expected start date
and the expected completion date and include the Contractor's turbidity monitoring
qualifications.
Pre -Construction Conference Information: The Permittee shall coordinate and conduct a pre -
construction conference with the Contractor, Engineer of Record, JCP Compliance Officer, and
FWC representatives to review the specific conditions and monitoring requirements of the permit.
At least seven days prior to the pre -construction conference, the Permittee shall provide the
meeting participants with written notification of the agreed -upon date, time, and location of the
meeting, as well as a meeting agenda and teleconference number.
Taylor Engineering will coordinate between meeting attendees to choose a meeting date and time and
will prepare the meeting agenda. We have budgeted for one senior engineer and one project engineer to
attend the pre -construction meeting. Following the meeting, we will prepare meeting minutes and
coordinate as necessary to address any action items. We will also notify the USACE of the commencement
of construction and the pre -construction conference, per Special Condition 2 and 7 of Permit No. SAJ-
1993-00026 (SP-KDS).
Task 2: Construction Administration Services
Construction Observation
Taylor Engineering will remain available throughout construction to provide advice and consultation to
the County through site visits and teleconferences. In that role, we will address questions pertaining to
engineering, design, permitting issues, and any proposed changes to the project design. We will notify the
County of any observed permit violations and provide recommendations as to how to proceed with the
A-2
drapploaft
Page 22 of 31
EXHIBIT A
P2024-1 81 FORT PIERCE BEACH EMERGENCY TRUCK HAUL
project. We will participate in weekly contractor meetings, provide on -site observation services, and
review contractor construction submittals for permit compliance as detailed below.
We will attend the contractor's weekly project meetings onsite or virtually. These meetings will discuss
the project progress and address questions pertaining to engineering, design, permitting issues, any
proposed changes to the project design, scheduling, and any conflicts. The progress meeting agenda shall
generally include reviewing minutes of the previous meeting, work progress since the previous meeting,
current definable features of work, off -site activities, testing results (sediment QAQC, turbidity
monitoring, etc.), changes to construction schedule, site safety, and other business, as appropriate.
We will perform a site visit prior to the commencement of construction to document the pre -construction
conditions of the project area and staging area. During construction, we will conduct site visits three times
weekly (up to twenty-two visits), assuming construction will require 60 days from the commencement
and will occur 6 days a week.
During the on -site observations, our engineers will ascertain whether work is occurring in general
conformance with permit conditions and plans and specifications. As a part of each site visit, we will
photograph the work area and newly constructed beach and prepare a construction report to log
construction progress, delays, and/or issues. We will collect, test, and store representative samples of the
newly constructed beach observed during site visits and document any material of questionable quality.
We will collect and test a total of 24 samples throughout construction and will provide a sediment quality
assurance report as part of our post -construction summary report; each week during construction, we
will collect 3-4 samples during one of our visits. We will perform the following tests at the Taylor
Engineering Geology Lab to ensure compliance with the permitted Sediment Quality Assurance and
Quality Control Plan: gradation by sieving (ASTM D6913/ASTM D1140), carbonate content, and Munsell
color. Our visits will include detailed observation of the work and monitoring of the contractor's means,
methods, and sequences.
Our observations will include, but not be limited to, the following:
• Protection of existing work;
• Protection of new work from damage;
• Protection of private property;
• Provision of submittals on time and in proper format;
• Protection of land resources (fuel and oil, work areas, etc.);
• Protection of water resources (pollution prevention, turbidity, etc.);
• Protection of marine turtles (visual monitoring, lighting requirements, escarpments);
• Protection of migratory birds (monitoring, signage);
• Control of noise pollution;
A-3

EXHIBIT A
P2024-1 81 FORT PIERCE BEACH EMERGENCY TRUCK HAUL
• Turbidity monitoring (turbidity monitoring data review, sand dike observation, etc.);
• Maintenance of onsite bulletin board, project sign, and project safety sign;
• Maintenance of project site security;
• Cleanup of waste and debris;
• Placement of beach fill in accordance with plans and specifications;
• Adherence to the Sediment QA/QC Plan for maintenance of fill material quality (through borrow
load sampling, visual analysis, sieve testing, etc.); and
• Protection and maintenance of pedestrian beach access
Of note, the FDEP permit provides specifications for daily shorebird, marine turtle, and water quality
monitoring and reporting. The Contractor will be responsible for turbidity monitoring as described in the
permit. We will conduct all other environmental monitoring through construction completion as
described in a separate scope of work for the 2025 Physical and Biological Monitoring of the Fort Pierce
Shore Protection Project. We will track and review environmental monitoring efforts to verify that
construction activities and report submittals remain compliant with specific conditions of the permit.
Task 3: Post -Construction Project Close-out
Post -Construction Site Inspection
We will accompany the County and Contractor during the substantial completion inspection or the final
inspection and assist the County with identification of items requiring completion.
Post -Construction Permit Submittals
Within 30 days after completion of construction, we will electronically submit to FDEP a written statement
of completion and certification by a registered professional engineer per General Condition 11 of the
permit.
Within 60 days of construction completion, we will submit the as -built certification to USACE, per Special
Condition 6 of Permit No. SAJ-1993-00026 (SP-KDS).
The 2025 Year 2 beach profile monitoring survey for the 2023 Fort Pierce SPP nourishment, which will be
conducted under a separate scope of work, will serve as the post -construction survey for FDEP monitoring
requirements and USACE as -built drawings.

Deliverables
Upon completion of the project, we will prepare a summary report of our construction administration and
biological monitoring activities and compile all available project related reports, meeting minutes, and
submittals.
Deliverable A — Construction administration summary report; Deadline: September 30, 2025.
We will perform these services on a time and expenses basis not to exceed $109,148.00. Exhibit B provides
an estimated breakdown of this cost. Our budget assumes that project construction will require 60 days
from the commencement of fill placement. Note that we may require additional fees if additional onsite
visits are required to solve unanticipated problems, or if construction lasts longer than the assumed 60-
day period.
