ITEM NO. (ID # 1756)
DATE: 12/17/2013
AGENDA REQUEST *CONSENT
AGENDA\MOSQUITO
CONTROL & COASTAL
MGMT. SERVICES
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the Harbor Branch Mangrove Marsh Restoration project is to complete the
hydrological reconnection and restoration of Impoundment 14C, a 178 acre mosquito
impoundment located within the Harbor Branch Preserve project area.
Due to the federal grant funding source, Local Preference Ordinance No. 09-005 is not
applicable. Therefore the bid is proposed to be awarded to the lowest responsive base
bidder.
Bid 14-002 was advertised in the legal section of the local newspaper on October 15, 2013,
641 companies were notified via Demandstar, 52 bid documents were distributed, 12
companies attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting, and 3 bids were received. On
November 20, 2013, submittals to Bid No. 14-002 were opened. The lowest responsive base
bidder was Blue Goose Growers, Inc. of Fort Pierce, Florida (aka Blue Goose Construction).
The project will include excavation of 4,100 Linear Feet of perimeter ditch and placement of
the dredged fill into 2,200 linear feet of geotubes (or equivalent), reconstruction of 11,070
linear feet of geotextile-wrapped dike, installation of 10,880 linear feet of shoreline rip/rap
and installation of 17, 30-inch diameter corrugated aluminum pipes.
The corrugated aluminum pipes (culverts) will provide exchange of tidewater between the
estuary and the wetlands of the site, improving the quality and function of the wetlands and
the estuary by transporting marine organisms back and forth between them and removing
nutrients and toxic materials from the estuarine waters through wetland bioremediation.
The hydrological connection provided by the culverts also allows for the marsh nursery
functions to be enhanced in the wetlands and in adjacent seagrass beds and enhances
wetland mangrove growth and survival, while also eradicating exotic plants from the
wetlands.
TO: Mosquito Control District
PRESENTED BY: James R. David, Mosquito Control and Coastal Mgt. Serv. Director
SUBMITTED BY: Mosquito Control & Coastal Management Services
SUBJECT: Award of Bid to Blue Goose Growers, Inc. for the Harbor Branch
Mangrove Marsh Restoration Project
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 24
Updated: 12/11/2013 8:02 AM by Bob Bentkofsky Page 2
The reconstruction of the dike will provide a public access trail and allows the District to
control the mosquito and sandfly populations by employing Integrated Mosquito
Management Techniques known as Modified Rotational Impoundment Management. The
reintroduction of RIM protocols reduces and/or eliminates chemical applications in the
marsh.
The modified-RIM protocol involves the constant circulation of estuarine water through the
impoundment during the 4-month-long summer water management period, which fosters
high water quality within the wetland. This circulation and exchange protects the marsh
from acidification, protects marine species with higher dissolved oxygen limits that enter the
wetlands, enhances nutrient removal (nitrates) from the water column and enhances
exchange of natural energy subsidies provided by wetlands.
A reduction in public health risk will be achieved as a result of reinstatement and
maintenance of the impoundment in an operational condition, due to elimination of the
extensive vector breeding that would otherwise occur during the managed impoundment
period. In addition, chemical control cost-savings of $30,000 are estimated to result due to
the reduction in chemical use. This estimate is based on a comparison of fiscal year 2013
chemical application costs for the region of the County impacted, with a two-year average of
those expenses incurred prior to reinstatement of management (in 2011 and 2012).
The reduction of chemical usage is consistent with our Integrated Mosquito and Ecosystem
Management efforts to prioritize non-chemical means of mosquito control over chemical
control and allows the savings to roll-over to offset annual impoundment operating costs
without requiring budgetary changes.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
02/19/13 - Board acceptance of a $999,403 grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission.
10/15/13 - Board approval to re-bid Harbor Branch Mangrove Marsh Restoration project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are appropriated and available in grant funds (145128-6233-563000-136601
Infrastructure).
RECOMMENDATION:
Board approval to award Bid 14-002 to Blue Goose Growers, Inc. of Fort Pierce, the lowest
responsive base bidder, in the amount of $995,287 and authorization for the Chair to sign
the documents as approved by the County Attorney.
