30 | P a g e RFQ #16-06-01 Shoreline Surveying & Mapping Consulting Services Coastal Systems conducted a review of completed or planned beach management projects in the Tri- County area to update the Phase I Study as part of the Phase II – Coastal Structures Feasibility Study. An evaluation of existing beach management projects incorporating coastal structures in the Tri-County area was completed as part of the Phase II Study. The history and performance of these structures showed that similar projects may be feasible to stabilize the shoreline in Sunny Isles Beach. The current status and regulatory challenges associated with obtaining environmental permits for these projects, as they relate to potential projects within Sunny Isles Beach, was performed and showed that coastal structures are permittable if the impacts of said structures are avoided and minimized. A beach performance evaluation was also completed as part of the Phase II Study to quantify shoreline changes and sediment transport between Port Everglades and Baker’s Haulover Inlet. The regional evaluation of sediment transport was completed to quantify the amount of sand movement along the beaches of Sunny Isles Beach, as well as along the updrift and downdrift beaches and adjacent to the Newport Pier. A review of innovative technologies for beach management was conducted to evaluate their effectiveness for the beaches of Sunny Isles Beach. A beach management strategy was developed which included beach nourishment, coastal structures, data collection, and outreach. Coastal Systems has also provided consulting services to the City of Sunny Isles Beach regarding evaluation of potential alternative sand sources for placement on the beach, including material excavated from upland development sites within a noncontiguous municipality. These services included sand compatibility review and permitting strategy. Coastal Systems conducted an underwater investigation of submerged breakwaters located offshore of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. The structural assessment evaluated the condition of the existing breakwaters, collected representative measurements of the existing structures, and summarized the findings in an Engineering Assessment Report. The results confirmed significant settlement and displacement of the armor stone had occurred likely reducing the effectiveness of the structures for shoreline stabilization. Hillsboro/Deerfield Beach Renourishment, Broward County, Florida, Town of Hillsboro Beach Coastal Systems has provided continuing beach management consulting services since 1996 for the Town of Hillsboro Beach. The 2011 Hillsboro/Deerfield beach nourishment project that was designed and permitted included approximately 375,000 cy of beach compatible fill placed on 7,175 ft. of shoreline in the northern mile of Hillsboro Beach and a portion of southern Deerfield Beach. Environmental permits were processed through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and
