SUBJECT: Fort Pierce Beach - 2013 Federal Beach Rehabilitation
ITEM NO. II-B
Background:
In 2012, approximately 481,989 cubic yards of beach sand was placed along 4,300 feet of shoreline
immediately south of Ft. Pierce Inlet, as part of the federally authorized shore protection project for Ft. Pierce.
Although the newly nourished beach performed very well during Hurricane Sandy and subsequent storm
events, most of the shoreline in the northern segment adjacent to Jetty Park eroded to the south. Due to storm
impacts associated with Hurricane Sandy, the Ft. Pierce project area is eligible for 100% Flood Control &
Coastal Emergency (FCCE) funding to assist with rehabilitating the shoreline to pre-storm conditions. In
addition, the USACE is seeking Construction General (CG) funding to restore the remaining shoreline to the
original design template at the normal project cost sharing percentage. The non-federal share for the CG
funding is $710,754, which will be cost-shared at 50% with the State. Amore detailed breakdown of the project
costs is included in the attached letter from the USACE.
Staff seeks Board approval of the attached Cooperation Agreement for 100% FCCE funding from the USACE.
In addition, staff is coordinating a scope of work for Taylor Engineering, Inc. to assist the County with project
coordination and permit compliance. The permitting agencies have been contacted in order to coordinate the
ambitious construction timeline proposed by the USACE. This project is intended to be constructed before
hurricane season.
Previous Action:
December 16, 2008 -Board approved master agreement for consulting services with Taylor Engineering, Inc.
January 12, 2010 -Board approved FDEP Project Agreement 09SL2 for Ft. Pierce Beach.
December 14, 2010 -Board approved Amendment No. 1 to FDEP Project Agreement 09SL2.
October 11, 2011 -Board approved Amendment No. 2 to FDEP Project Agreement 09SL2.
March 5, 2013 -Board approved Amendment No. 3 to FDEP Project Agreement 09SL2.
Recommendation:
Board approval of the attached Cooperation Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for
restoration of the Ft. Pierce Shore Protection project and a work authorization with Taylor Engineering,
Inc., in the amount of $100,000, and authorization for the Chair to sign documents as approved by the
County Attorney.
