BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br />The Rickenbacker Causeway connects Key Biscayne to downtown Miami, crossing historic Virginia Key and the <br />artificial Hobie Island. The Causeway serves as an important transportation corridor, but also has approximately 2.5- <br />miles of recreational shoreline. These popular beaches are favorites for swimming and water sports including <br />kayaking, kite boarding, sailing and wind surfing. Coastal engineering analyses were completed to determine winds, <br />waves and sediment transport along the Project shoreline. Designs were developed for shoreline stabilization <br />including rock revetment, mangrove planter and beach nourishment stabilization. <br /> <br />The beach nourishment was designed to avoid impacts to sensitive seagrass beds immediately adjacent to the Project <br />shoreline. Sand sources were evaluated based on geotechnical analyses to determine the most economical and <br />compatible beach fill. The beach restoration project includes upland paving and grading as well as stormwater <br />management improvements. Field investigations were completed including hydrographic surveying and beach <br />profiling. Marine resource (seagrass) surveys were conducted, as well as upland native and exotic vegetation <br />mapping. The field data was utilized to design a beach restoration project that included upland paving and grading as <br />well as stormwater management improvements. The $6M project combined an extensive upland exotic vegetation <br />removal effort with replanting of native salt-tolerant species. In addition, mangrove planters were designed to <br />enhance the shoreline and protect existing mangrove vegetation. <br /> <br />Environmental regulatory permits for the project were processed through Miami-Dade Division of Environmental <br />Resources Management (DERM), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the U.S. Army <br />Corps of Engineers (Corps). Coastal Systems prepared construction plans and specifications in conjunction with <br />funding constraints and prioritized project elements established by the County. Construction was completed in 2010. <br /> <br /> <br />25.
