FIRM REFERENCES AND SIMILAR WORK COMPLETED <br /> <br />CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH RFQ NO 20-07-01 SECTION F – FIRM REFERENCES AND SIMILAR WORK COMPLETED <br />COASTAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING LLC | PAGE 4 <br /> <br /> <br />CPE staff worked closely with the Town and USACE and <br />provided construction observation and project support <br />for the Mid-Town project. We provided coastal <br />engineering analyses, construction observations, <br />project management oversight, and environmental <br />services including permit compliance. <br />MID-TOWN GROIN PROJECT <br />Although the Mid-Town Beach Nourishment Project was <br />completed in 2015, the groin that was authorized for <br />construction near R-99.3 was not constructed during <br />the nourishment project. In 2017, we requested state <br />and federal permit modifications on behalf of the Town <br />to construct the groin prior to peak sea turtle nesting <br />season in 2018. Our staff worked with USACE and FDEP <br />to expedite the permit modification to ensure <br />construction would not interfere with nesting season. <br />Additionally, initial authorization did not include <br />consultation with NMFS for Section 7 consultation since <br />the groin was originally planned to be built on the newly <br />nourished beach. Our staff designed the project so that <br />construction of the groin would be built β€œin the dry,” <br />otherwise consultation would have not made <br />construction feasible for that season. The modification <br />requests were submitted in late December 2017 and the project was deemed substantially complete in <br />May 2018. <br />REACH 8 NOURISHMENT <br />Our staff assisted the Town with NEPA documentation <br />and agency coordination for their Reach 8 <br />nourishment project. The Reach 8 nourishment <br />project was evaluated with an adjoining project in the <br />Southern Palm Beach Island Comprehensive Shoreline <br />Stabilization Project Environmental Impact <br />Statement, which was finalized in 2016. The Town <br />contracted with our team when the USACE requested <br />additional information on the Reach 8 project to <br />facilitate Endangered Species Act Section 7 <br />consultation and consultation under the Magnuson- <br />Stevens Act. Our staff were able to quickly compile the <br />requested information and provide the Town with an <br />artificial reef design to respond to USACE and resource agencies. The response has since been routed for <br />review with the agencies. <br />Mid-Town Beach Nourishment, 2020 <br />Mid-Town construction, 2018 <br />Nearshore hardbottom in Reach 8
