Mr. A. John Szerlag, City Manager
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH
18070 Collins Avenue
Sunny Isles Beach, FIorid.a 33160
RE: INITIAL CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATIVE TO BEACH MANAGEMENT
FOR THE CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FLORIDA
Dear Mr. Szerlag:
Pursuant to recent discussions, we are pleased to submit this revised proposal for consulting
services relative to an initial evaluation of potential beach management initiatives within the City
of Sunny Isles Beach (Project). We understand the City would like for Coastal Systems
International, Inc. (Coastal Systems) to evaluate the relative need of additional coastal structures
to help stabilize the shoreline at the Project site.
As part of the feasibility study, we recommend comprehensive numerical wave modeling of
Sunny Isles Beach. Several historical studies of the project area have concluded that beach
nourishment projects at Sunny Isles Beach suffer from end losses to the adjacent areas; however,
the underlying coastal processes contributing to the erosion appear to be unidentified. The results
of the wave modeling will provide information regarding variations in the long-shore sediment
transport and the underlying coastal processes for Sunny Isles Beach. The wave modeling results
will assist in establishing optimal locations for future stabilization projects. Based upon the
results of this initial study, an appropriate continuing scope of services for conceptual design of
shoreline stabilization alternatives, regulatory permitting feasibility, and a cost/benefit analysis
can be defined.
The following tasks outline the scope of services to be provided by Coastal Systems for the City
of Sunny Isles Beach (Client):
PART 1- PHASE I - SHORELINE STABILIZATION STUDY
a. Data Collection and Review: Coastal Systems will collect available data including beach
profile surveys, previous coastal engineering reports, nautical charts, wind/wave data and
construction plans for the breakwaters. This data will be compiled and reviewed by Coastal
Systems as part of the coastal process analysis.
b. Hydrographic Survey: Coastal Systems will conduct a hydrographic survey of the
submerged breakwaters and the project area to obtain bathymetric survey data for the
Coastal, Environmental, Civil En,l,>1neering and Management
Attachment "A"
270000-R
Mr. A. John Szerlag

numerical wave modeling. Cross sections will be obtained at appropriate intervals to map the
breakwaters and obtain a general representation of the project area. The survey data will be
overlaid with applicable beach profile data obtained under Part 1 (a) service. The survey will
be completed with a vessel-based automated hydrographic survey system consisting of a
survey grade echo sounder to collect water depths and DGPS for horizontal positioning.
Coastal Oceanographic HyPack software will be used to collect the survey data and for
vessel navigation. An electronic tide gauge will be deployed and referenced to the vertical
survey control for the breakwaters and beach profiles conducted by DERM.
c. Base Map: Survey data collected in the field will be processed and reduced to the Florida
State Plane coordinate system. Contours reflecting significant changes in the water depth
within the hydrographic survey area will be established on the survey base map. In addition,
available aerial photography will be incorporated into the map.
d. Wave Modeling: Coastal Systems will utilize the state-of-the-art DHI MIKE21 Spectral
Wave (SW) numerical wave model to conduct a wave propagation study to evaluate the
effects of wave propagation from the offshore region to the nearshore region. The MlKE21
SW numerical wave model is a 3rd generation spectral wind-wave model that simulates the
growth, decay, and transformation of wind-generated waves in offshore and coastal areas.
The propagation of governing offshore wave events to the near-shore area will be simulated
in order to evaluate the near-shore wave conditions, which are a principal mechanism in
sediment transport.
e. Sediment Transport Evaluation: Coastal Systems will evaluate the sediment transport
characteristics in the project vicinity. Coastal Systems will combine the wave modeling
results and the general sediment characteristics to assess the overall sediment movement. The
assessment results will be utilized to understand the coastal processes at Sunny Isles Beach
and to identify erosional hot spots for subsequent beach maintenance event and/or
stabilization structure design.
f. Evaluation of Critical Areas: Coastal Systems will evaluate and rank the individual areas
experiencing erosion within the City of Sunny Isles Beach. The evaluation and ranking will
be based on the coastal engineering analysis as well as site observations. For each area, the
governing parameters relative to beach erosion will be identified and a recommended
management action, as appropriate, to supplement existing federal and county beach

Reef Balls As Submerged Breakwaters or for Erosion Control
Reef Balls can be used as submerged breakwaters to protect a beach from erosion or even to build up a
beach that has already eroded. They can also be used in a variety of erosion control applications such
as creating a wave fence for marinas or as red mangrove "pots" for shoreline stabilization. Shorelines
can also be stabilized using Reef Balls as a near shore breakwater or to grow oysters to create a
protective near shore oyster bar. However. all these applications for Reef Balls require specific
engineering because erosion control requires detailed. site specific planning. to avoid unexpected
results.

Reef Balls. However. the Reef Ball Foundation may still be involved in your erosion
control project when there are biological goals too..Jor example, if you are doing a coral
propagation and transplant project on the surface of your reef ball submerged breakwater.
Note also that our "roots" in the Reef Ball Foundation mean that we only offer erosion control
solutions that are environmentally sound. One of the main reasons we developed this technology is 10
help avoid environmentally damaging beach "renourishment" projects. In addition to solving your
erosion problems, you will enjoy the environmental benefits of using Reef Balls. Reef Balls will
function much like any other natural reef in similar waters, providing fishery habitat. possibly
snorkeling opportunities, and in coral reef areas you can even create a living coral reef system. Many

Reef Balls are a modular system
and it is possible to move or
removed them in case that is
needed, but because a living reef
system will develop on the Reef
Balls one should consider Reef
Balls as a permanent feature.

Our assistance typically involves
an initial on-site engineering and
design evaluation which will
produce a proposal that will
include feasibility and initial cost
range estimates. There are
engineering and design fees plus expenses for this initial evaluation that will be crediled to the overall
cost of the project if you accept the proposal. We prefer for you to gather as much site specific data as
you can before we arrive so that we can keep the initial visit fees low. (Checklist of typ_es of d<!ta we

How Do Reef Ball Submerged Breakwaters
Compare to Traditional Submerged
Breakwaters?
"Cost of Reef Balls verses rock breakwaters depends on local costs of
rock, concrete. and heavy equipment. If rock is available nearby and
cheap. then it may be the lowest cost. depending on transportation and
deployment costs. However, expensive and sometimes unavailable barges and
heavy equipment are needed to deploy the multi-ton rocks, whereas the Reef
Ball units can be floated out from the beach.
Required widths are similar, but we are able to deploy Reef Ball
breakwaters in shallower water (I .5m to 2m water depths) due to being able
to anchor them into the bottom. Rock breakwaters that would be submerged
may not be able to be built in that shallow water depth, so that would
make them taller and wider for the same protection.
Then there is the comparison of environmental enhancement, which will be
much better for the Reef Ball breakwater than just rocks..
http://www.reefbeach.com/
6111/2008
Reef Ball
Page 3 of 8
Another factor is the overall permeability of the breakwater. which will
be much greater for a Reef Ball breakwater than a rock breakwater. That permeability prevents the
"ponding" effect that can occur behind a breakwater, where the overtopping of waves can create an
increased water level behind the
breakwater, causing an accelerated return flow that can scour around the
ends of the breakwater. as well as washing sand out from landward of the
break water" -Dr Lee Harris. ..

Increased beach width in the Dominican Republic Project from 1998 to 2001 at center of project - looking west, this was
the result of natural accretion of sand by the Reef Ball submerged breakwater and not a sand renourishment project.
To fully understand the full scope of Reef Balls as submerged breakwaters. it is best to study carefully
our prior projects. The one project that does the best at demonstrating all the different options is the
Antigua Maiden Island Submerged Breakwater and simultaneous reef restoration project. Go to
http~/www.reetball.com/map/antiguascience/antiguapressrelease.htm and spend some time looking at
the areas that are of the most interest for your project. There are detailed sections on the engineering,
anchQring, construction, deQ.loymeIl1, cori!Lpropag;!tion, coral res~ue, coral transplant, mangrove
planting and other components of this particular submerged breakwater system.
We have a great deal of experience in using Reef Balls for submerged breakwaters and have carefully
developed the technology in more Ihan a dozen different submerged breakwater test projects over a 10
year period to ensure we could offer a genuine solution. Or. Lee Harris. of the Florida Institute of
Technology and a leading expert in submerged breakwater technologies has overseen all of these
projects. His expertise will help to ensure all of our clients are provided with the best possible
solutions (Reef Balls or other t hI' ) ~ th' T . t I

The basic premise of Reef
Ball submerged breakwaters
http://www.reefbeach.com/
611112008
Reef Ball
Page 4 of 8
is to mimic natural reef systems and their ability to attenuate waves so that (beach) erosion is managed
by natural like processes. The exact amount of attenuation needs to be engineered for each project and
is controlled by depth, wave climate, number of rows of Reef Balls, spacing of Reef Balls, etc. There
have been very extensive wave tank studies to allow us to custom design the desired wave attenuation
for a specific project.
(Above Right: Army Corp of Engineers Wave Tank in Vicksburg, Mississippi performing complex modeling studies for
the Reef Ball submerged breakwater in Miami. Sample data here llL/l'xceljormat)
In our most recent projects, (Miami and Antigua) we developed a much broader range of anchoring
technologies which for the first time allows the use of Reef Balls as submerged breakwaters on a wider
variety of bottom types...including deep sand bottoms. Essentially, we now have technology that not
only stops lateral movement of Reef Balls during storm events, but also prevents settlement into the
sand (which has been one of the major obstacles facing submerged breakwater designers in the past.)
We have also develop a much larger range of Reef Ball sizes to handle beaches that have steeper
slopes. Even so. Reef Balls as submerged breakwaters may be too costly for areas that require the
submerged breakwater to be in deeper than 3 meters.
After studying the grandiose Antigua project. you will
probably want to review more information from our prior
projects below.

Reef Balls as Wave Fences for Marinas
Square Reef Balls (for stacking) or standard Reef Balls if depths are shaIlow can be used to create
wave fences around marinas to help calm wave action inside a marina. By using a "double walled"
Reef BaIl instead of a standard vertical or horizontal slat wave fence, you can create fish habitat and
have a fence that does not require maintenance or regular replacement. There are often permitting
advantages to using environmentally accepted Reef Balls instead of wooden structures that can cause
dangerous debris in the ocean as they deteriorate. Reef Balls are often used in front of sea waIls to
help disperse reflective wave energy and to help mitigate for the shoreline habitat loss when a seawall
is built. The basic difference between a Reef Ball wave fence and a Reef Ball submerged breakwater
is that the tops of Reef Balls are emergent from the sea level to provide effective attenuation with a
single minimal rows of Reef Balls. Because of this, the top of Reef Balls are often modified in these
projects to accept. for example red mangrove seedlings (propogules) or to be sloped in a manner to
avoid injury of a person falling into the water.

Newly Installed Oyster Bar (before coverage by oysters)
In much the same way as submerged breakwaters can create living coral reefs in tropical waters, Reef
Balls can be used to create oyster bars where oysters are common. A big advantage of oysters is that
they will add a great deal of size to each Reef Ball in just a few years creating a better, and natural
looking breakwater. Oysters have a large filter feeding capacity and can improve water quality too.
Smaller sized Reef Balls are used in bays and protected areas where wave climates are not that great or
where the slope is very gentle into the water as pictured above. In moderate climates. oyster reefs are
best built inter-tidal sticking out of the water a low tide. They can be built deeper, but oyster growth is
slower. If the climate is very cold, it is better to keep the units below the low water mark for
protection from winter freezing. Smaller sized Reef Balls are very cost effective and some sizes can
even be deployed by hand.

Reef Balls as Red Mangrove planters for Shoreline Stabilization [See
WWW.MANGROVESOLUTIONS.COM for full details of high energy planting
system]
Red Mangroves are often planted along shorelines because they make excellent fishery habitats and
can help stabilize a shoreline from erosion. However. it is difficult to impossible to plant red
mangrove seedlings in areas with a firm bottom. Even with softer bottoms, smaller plants my be
difficult to hold in place against wave forces before they establish themselves enough to survive.
Therefore. Reef Balls can be used as the "pot" into which red mangroves are planted. They can be
arranged much like a submerged breakwater to immediately begin protecting the shoreline while
waiting for even better stabilization after the red mangroves start sending out protective prop roots.
Over time, the burlap bag will bio-degrade and the Reef Ball will be left as additional fish habitat
inside the "walking" roots of the mangroves. One can certainly use common mejhods to plant red
mangroves if conditions are righl but Reef Balls offer a wider range of possible planting sites and also
avoids leaving plastic pye pipes in the environment.

MEMORANDUM
The Honorahle City Commissio~ ^ (

June 19, 2008
Request for Consulting Engineering Services for Beach Management Initiatives
Background
Director of Cultural & Human Services Susan Simpson and I have been working with Mr. Carlos
Espinoza, DERM Director, to determine the feasibility of Sunny Isles Beach piggybacking a
State of Florida Demonstration Grant that is currently being considered in Miami Beach. This
project consists of a series of coastal structures in the Atlantic running parallel to the beach, the
intent of which is to help stabilize the shoreline along the project terminus. However, before we
can determine whether the City can participate in this grant, we must first ascertain whether these
coastal structures would be functional in Sunny Isles Beach. The way to make this assessment is
to conduct a numerical wave modeling to determine optimal locations for the proposed shoreline
stabilization projects.
Recommendation
Given the above, I recommend that the City enter into an agreement with Coastal Systems
International, Inc. for a Phase I - Shoreline Stabilization Study, at hourly rates attached as
Exhibit "A" for a total amount not to exceed Fifty-eight Thousand Forty-Eight Dollars
($58,048.00).
Funds are available in account number 20-600-5313.
Please know that once we establish optimal locations for the future stabilization projects, we will
not continue to proceed unless we are advised by the State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that our project will indeed be
funded (in part) as a Demonstration Grant. So in another words, we first have to show
scientifically that some kind of coastal structure will work to stabilize our shoreline and then, try
to get some funding for it. To this end, Sunny Isles Beach and DERM will work in tandem on
this issue. However, I can make no guarantees at this time, and we could be looking at a local

share of up to One Million Dollars for this project. That said, our most important physical
resource is the beach, and we should go for it.
One of the coastal structures being advanced for Shoreline Stabilization is called "Reef Balls".
Some material on how these structures work is attached.
