33 | P a g e <br />RFQ #16-06-01 Shoreline Surveying & Mapping Consulting Services <br />Village of Key Biscayne Beach Nourishment, Key Biscayne, Florida <br /> <br />Coastal Systems has provided beach management consulting services to the Village of Key Biscayne since <br />1996. Services have included coastal engineering, beach nourishment design/permitting, sea turtle lighting <br />ordinance development, marine biology, and hydrographic surveying. Environmental permits for <br />maintenance beach nourishment projects were processed <br />through the Miami Dade County Department of Environmental <br />Resources Management (DERM), Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection (DEP), and the U.S. Army Corps of <br />Engineers for the 1.1-mile long beach to be nourished on an <br />interval of 3 to 4 years. These permits are valid for multiple <br />events, providing the Village with flexibility to manage the beach <br />with upland sources of beach fill. The first event was constructed <br />in June-July, 2012 with the placement of approximately 38,000 <br />cubic yards of beach fill from the Ortona Mine in central Florida <br />utilizing truck haul construction methods at a cost of $1.5M. The <br />beach fill project was specifically designed based on two different <br />modeling methodologies, as required by the regulatory agencies, <br />to not impact adjacent nearshore seagrass. Coastal Systems <br />assisted the Village with the bidding and managed the <br />construction that included construction stake-out and pre/post <br />construction beach profile surveys. Physical and biological <br />monitoring in accordance with the environmental permits is <br />ongoing. <br /> <br />Coastal Systems also assisted the Village in securing FEMA funding from impacts to the beach from <br />Hurricane Wilma in 2005. The beach is classified as an “Engineered Beach” due to the ongoing beach <br />management program, and $1.3M in FEMA funding was obtained for a two phase project that included <br />dune restoration in 2008 and the truck haul nourishment in 2012. The 2008 dune rehabilitation truck haul <br />project was designed and permitted in 2007 to address severe erosion since Hurricane Wilma. This project
