D. PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING
The following presents our understanding of the City’s needs, our general technical approach, and a
summary of APTIM’s project management philosophy used to deliver value and quality to the City’s
marine and coastal engineering projects.
Understanding of the City’s Needs
The City of Sunny Isles Beach is a unique coastal community and environment that requires an in‐depth
understanding of the resources, challenges, and program designed to protect it. The City is bordered by
both the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway, each of which present unique management
challenges. The City’s Atlantic Ocean shoreline is an asset that is influenced by the lack of sediment
bypassing at Port Everglades, beach nourishment projects between Port Everglades and Bakers Haulover
Inlet, and localized erosional hot spots within the City. Recent erosional losses in Sunny Isles Beach may
be the result of many factors including sand from the Broward County Segment III project moving through
the City, lower than normal longshore transport rates providing sand alongshore, historical hot spots
returning to an equilibrium position as sand moves south, the recent modifications to the Newport Pier
allowing adjacent shoreline to reach a new equilibrium, and of course, recent storm impacts. The City’s
shoreline is also managed through a series of public and privately owned bulkheads along the Intracoastal
Waterway, which provide stabilization and flood protection.
The beach in the City is currently maintained through the Federally‐authorized Miami‐Dade County Beach
Erosion Control and Hurricane Surge Protection Project. The shoreline is currently being nourished (2018)
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with support from Miami‐Dade County under this authorization. The
project is placing sand in previously identified erosional hotspots in the north end of the City near the
Ocean I and II Condominiums, as well as the shoreline adjacent to the Newport Pier. Continued
coordination with all relevant stakeholders and physical monitoring is recommended moving forward
should these areas present further erosion and require action.
It is our understanding that the City has previously evaluated coastal erosion and the feasibility of
installing structures to manage the shoreline. The City has implemented a physical monitoring program to
collect beach surveys and has evaluated the condition of the submerged breakwaters and their
effectiveness of mitigating end losses north into Golden Beach. APTIM is a proponent of responsible
beach management and supports these efforts. We recommend the development of a robust Beach
Management Plan to support the short‐ and long‐term management of your shoreline that will
incorporate all of your previous efforts and identify new, valuable projects. We have developed these
plans for many Florida municipalities. The plan will allow you to be proactive, rather than reactive, when
addressing your marine and coastal engineering needs. Many of the concepts and strategies used by
other municipalities could be applied to the City’s shoreline to the benefit of all stakeholders.
The Beach Management Plan would clearly identify the City’s objectives for coastal management
including stakeholder engagement, timeframe, and purpose. The Plan may include a coastal process
assessment using the latest numerical models to evaluate littoral transport, sea level rise, or coastal
flooding based on new data. A storm vulnerability evaluation can also be incorporated, which is an
invaluable tool to quantify the current level of storm protection in the City and identify areas for
improvement considering climate change. A cost‐benefit analysis can be used evaluate the capital
expense of structures, continued beach nourishment through the Federal project, or consider the value
of City‐sponsored beach projects. Other components may also include: identifying additional funding
opportunities, a hurricane preparedness plan, waterfront park development/improvements, bulkhead
condition assessments (asset management), and integration with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.

General Technical Approach
The purpose of this section is to outline the proposed approach for conducting Marine and Coastal
Engineering consulting services for the City. The approach described below is based on APTIM’s
understanding of the City’s needs, outlined above, and our extensive experience in the planning, design,
permitting, construction management, and post‐construction monitoring of many coastal, waterfront
facility, and infrastructure projects within the state of Florida. APTIM uses the same general approach to
all of our projects, but fine‐tunes the approach to address the specific scope and scale of each of project
and Client.
The primary focus of this technical approach will be to provide an overview of the process APTIM applies
to marine and coastal engineering projects so they can be planned, funded, designed, permitted,
constructed, and monitored in a thorough manner within the defined project scope, schedule, and
budget. These potential projects include, but are not limited to, beach nourishments, docks, seawalls,
marinas, boat ramps, dredge and fill, coastal structures, and mooring systems. This approach is applicable
to newly identified waterfront concerns and needs along the City’s shoreline. A breakdown of the
potential work to be provided by APTIM follows:
Permitting and Agency Coordination
We believe that early and thorough planning and coordination with our clients and regulatory agencies
leads to a smooth permitting path and a successful project that meets project goals while avoiding
environmental impacts. At project inception, our multidisciplinary team of APTIM professionals will work
with the City to define your project goals and identify the challenges, funding strategy, stakeholders, and
permitting path to design and implement a successful and cost‐effective project. Our experience and
familiarity with the environment in Miami‐Dade County and working with other coastal communities will
provide a strong basis to plan the most efficient path forward on your projects. It is important to
understand the environmental setting of each project and evaluate existing natural resource data in order
to determine what updated environmental assessments and surveys may be needed in order to plan and
permit the project. For instance, while historical data might show the presence of hardbottom in the
footprint of a proposed beach nourishment or artificial reef, an updated survey could show that those
resources are covered, no longer present, or have decreased in extent. Similarly, for projects in the
Intracoastal Waterway, seagrass resources may have moved or grown in extent over time, in which case
an updated survey would delineate the current conditions. The location and condition of submerged
resources can affect the design and permitting process for the project. In addition to the environmental
setting, we know that it is also critical to understand the local attitude and desired outcomes of the
residents.
Next, based on the proposed project, location, and natural resources in the area, we will chart out the
state and federal agencies that will be involved in the permitting for the project. We have experience in
obtaining local permits from Miami‐Dade County Environmental Resources Management, formerly
Division of Environmental Resource Management (DERM). We also have experience obtaining state
permits under the Joint Coastal Permitting (JCP), Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL), and
Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP) programs, which typically require close coordination with the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD), and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). We have strong ties with the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), having worked with project managers in their West Palm Beach
office on numerous marine and coastal projects in southeast Florida. Through our extensive project
experience, we understand expedited paths to local, state, and federal authorizations for our projects,
such as Nationwide Permits (NWP) and the State Programmatic General Permit (SPGP). We also recognize

that formal consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) often leads to lengthy delays in permitting. Therefore, whenever possible, we try to
design projects that will qualify for authorization under regional Biological Opinions (BO’s) for endangered
species and their critical habitat. Identifying and utilizing streamlined permits and consultation will help
us to obtain state and federal authorizations for the City’s projects in a cost‐efficient and expedited
manner. We understand that there are areas of hardbottom located offshore of the City, which provide
essential fish habitat (EFH) and potentially support threatened coral species. These resources affect
regulatory actions by requiring greater oversight and coordination by local, state, and federal agencies.
APTIM has experience designing and permitting projects in the vicinity of hardbottom in south Florida,
and will use this experience to help address agency concerns to prevent delays in permitting.
We approach every project with the design goal of avoiding adverse effects to natural resources, but in
some cases, successful marine and coastal projects involve some degree of unavoidable environmental
impacts. In these cases, our biologists work closely with state and federal agencies to develop mitigation
and monitoring programs. We have worked closely with FDEP and NMFS biologists to design hardbottom
mitigation projects throughout Florida and to monitor artificial reefs to document their colonization by
fish and benthic organisms. If the City requires a
marine project in an area of sensitive resources, our
design team will work to avoid impacts to the
maximum extent practicable, but will develop a cost‐
effective and successful mitigation solution if impacts
cannot be avoided.
In addition to the need for state and federal permits,
our projects may also require local permits and must
adhere to local ordinances and rules. We recognize
that Miami‐Dade County and the City have codes,
resolutions, and ordinances that help to ensure that
projects align with the local values and vision. APTIM
will work with the City to design, permit and
implement projects that meet your needs while
balancing project needs with the protection of
natural resources.
Environmental Assessments and
Monitoring
Identifying natural resources is vital to the successful design and permitting of each project. The approach
that we take in providing environmental services for each individual project starts with early coordination
with clients and agencies to provide baseline data and environmental documents to facilitate and often
expedite the permitting process. The presence of hardbottom, seagrass, endangered species and their
designated critical habitat, as well as the location of a project within Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW),
can have important implications to the design of a marine or coastal project. For each project we design
for the City, we will start by researching available historical and recent environmental site data, including
analysis of aerial imagery for detection of potential submerged resources. Following a desktop review of
environmental data, APTIM biologists will conduct an on‐site environmental assessment, if needed, to
document current site conditions.
We understand that Miami‐Dade County staff have conducted nearshore hardbottom and artificial reef
monitoring throughout the County in support of the beach nourishment program in compliance with
APTIM biologists conduct benthic resource surveys in
support of project design, permitting and permit
compliance.

permit requirements. However, if the City is ever in need of additional support, our marine biologists have
extensive experience developing and implementing hardbottom and artificial reef monitoring programs in
association with beach nourishment projects on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Florida. We have FDEP‐
approved biologists on staff, and utilize our own research vessels, boat captains, support divers and in‐
house sampling gear to conduct marine benthic surveys and habitat delineation for our clients.
APTIM biologists are highly skilled and specifically trained in scientific data collection in Florida’s coastal
and marine habitats. We have conducted numerous hardbottom, artificial reef and seagrass surveys in
support of dredging, nourishment, seawall construction and repair, marina development, and boat ramp
construction and reconstruction. Depending on the City’s specific project needs, our team can survey,
map, and characterize benthic resources that may occur in the project vicinity. In cases where the City
might want to replace a seawall or bulkhead, our biologists can survey the structure to document any
biota (such as stony corals, octocorals, and oysters) present. We will coordinate our survey protocol with
appropriate state and federal agencies to ensure survey results will be acceptable in support of project
design and permit applications.
When conducting surveys of hardbottom and artificial reef resources, we utilize the Benthic Ecological
Assessment for Marginal Reefs (BEAMR) methodology, which APTIM biologists developed in 2004 to
characterize the hardbottom and reef resources in south Florida. This method assess changes to the
biological communities as well as sedimentation on natural hardbottom or artificial reefs. The BEAMR
method is now considered an industry standard and
is recognized by state and federal agencies for
resource characterization and project effects
determinations. Our biologists also routinely conduct
fish population assessments on natural hardbottom
and artificial reefs using transect counts, stationary
counts, and timed swim (rover‐diver counts). For
seagrass surveys, we typically employ the Braun‐
Blanquet index methodology, which allows us to
quickly survey a large area of seagrass by using a
scale of numbers that are proportional to area
covered by each species identified. These data
provide species‐specific abundance and distribution
data, which can then be analyzed for potential
project‐related community changes or as a tool for
mitigation planning.
APTIM biologists work for our clients from project
inception in support of permitting, design, mitigation planning, and pre‐, mid‐, and post‐construction
monitoring. State and federal permits typically require long‐term environmental monitoring to ensure
coastal projects do not negatively impact valuable habitat or species. We not only design and implement
hardbottom, artificial reef, and seagrass monitoring programs, but we also assist our clients in
coordinating other permit‐required environmental monitoring such as sea turtle and shorebird
monitoring. We understand that Miami‐Dade County staff conducts the annual sea turtle monitoring in
the City under the direction of Teal Kawana, Project Manager, who holds the FWC turtle permit for the
County. We will coordinate with the County staff to ensure sea turtle monitoring and shorebird
requirements continue to be met for any future City projects.
APTIM biologists routinely monitor natural
hardbottom and artificial reefs.

Physical Data Collection
The purpose of this task is to acquire the physical data
on the coastal processes necessary for the design of
coastal protection projects. Physical data may include
topographic and bathymetric survey, geotechnical
data, wave climate and historical winds, and aerial
photography. This data will be used to develop the
design criteria that will govern the final design of the
project. Where possible, any previously collected data
and analysis will be used in lieu of new data collection
as a cost saving measure.
Due to the detailed needs of designing waterfront
projects for permitting and construction, updated,
site‐specific data collection efforts are to be
anticipated. APTIM has extensive field data collection
capabilities. Our survey group can determine the
scope of the required data, collect and reduce the
data, incorporate the data into a GIS system, and
apply the data in support of the project permitting and design. Employing our own field data collection
group allows the project managers to more closely control the scope, timing, and most importantly the
quality of the data collection efforts. The following is a description of how we would approach collecting
the various data sets:
Bathymetric and Topographic Surveys
Our surveyors have an extensive history of surveying in
south Florida. We also review newly collected data with
historic data as part of our QA/QC protocol. We own
and operate RTK (real time kinetic) GPS equipment,
which is the most efficient, accurate, and cost effective
surveying technique. We also ensure that there is an
overlap between bathymetric data collected using a
rover and data collected using hydrographic techniques.
This provides another level of data quality assurance.
Most waterfront structure design requires surveys
extending beyond wading depth. APTIM owns and
operates survey vessels capable of performing single
beam or multi‐beam bathymetric surveys. The boats are
also equipped with an RTK system that provides
centimeter level horizontal positioning accuracy and
when combined with our heave, pitch, and roll
compensator, provides excellent vertical accuracy.
This also avoids the need to tide correct data, resulting in efficient data reduction. Our survey crew is
experienced in surveying nearshore and inshore waters, borrow areas, and inlets.
APTIM also has extensive experience with the collection, reduction and analysis of LiDAR data. This data is
collected from an airplane and collects a bathymetric point at densities that can exceed one point every
Topographic survey of coastal structure.
APTIM conducts offshore biological monitoring and
bathymetric surveys using in‐house research vessels
and staff.

foot. APTIM was previously contracted to collect LiDAR data offshore of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami‐
Dade Counties. This data extended offshore to approximately the 120‐foot contour. The USACE also
contracted APTIM to assist in the reduction of their LiDAR
data sets.
While LiDAR data provides comprehensive bathymetric
and topographic data, collection of the data can be quite
expensive. The data can be used to supplement inlet and
nearshore bathymetry. We would track state or county
plans to collect additional LiDAR data in the City. Collection
of LiDAR data is sensitive to water clarity so timing of the
data collection is important, especially around inlets, since
tidal flows can cloud the water. Ideally, LiDAR should be
collected during a neap tidal cycle.
Recently, our team has expanded our service offerings with advanced laser scanning technology and
drone use. APTIM owns and operates Faro X330 terrestrial laser scanners and multiple drones. APTIM has
deployed these systems in a wide variety of environments for the scanning of existing topographic and as‐
built conditions, photo/video documenting of construction progress, and monitoring coastal conditions.
The scanning system allows for the rapid collection of millions of data points, at a resolution of up to one
point every 0.055 inches at 30‐foot scan distance. The scanner also contains an internal camera, which
allows for photographs in real color red‐green‐blue values to be transposed onto the 3D point cloud. With
the use of RTK GPS and a reflectorless total station, scan data can be repeated in future surveys.
APTIM’s drone fleet includes DJI’s Phantom III, IV,
and Inspire 1 Pro.
APTIM routinely utilizes drone technology for post‐storm damage evaluations and shoreline assessments.

Hydrodynamic Data Collection
The purpose of collecting hydrodynamic data is to
identify coastal processes in a specific area that would
contribute to the design of a project. Additionally,
collected hydrodynamic data is used to calibrate and
verify accuracy of the numerical modeling efforts
utilized in the beach nourishment and coastal
protection project design phases. Hydrodynamic data
collection typically consists of deploying Acoustic
Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) to measure waves
and currents in nearshore areas and within inlets.
APTIM owns and operates ADCPs. APTIM has divers
that deploy and recover the gauges that can be set to
collect data for as long as two months. Typically, a pair
of devices is deployed to show the propagation of
waves from offshore into the nearshore and through
the inlets. We have used this method in modeling and
permitting on previous projects. ADCP data can also be
used to evaluate seasonal variations of small‐scale boat wakes for use in the design of marinas and
mooring systems.
Underwater Structural Investigations
APTIM engineers have extensive experience
performing underwater structural investigations of
waterfront structures across Florida. Our designated
Project Manager for this RFQ, Jordon Cheifet, PE,
previously performed an underwater structural
investigation of the nearshore breakwaters in the City.
A thorough underwater evaluation can be conducted
to determine the existing or baseline condition,
recommend and prioritize maintenance and repair
actions, determine the suitability and serviceability for
specific uses and loads, evaluate life safety, improve
durability, enable historic preservation, establish a
baseline condition for change of ownership or legal
purposes, or to quantify post‐storm damage. Our
team of engineer‐divers can perform engineering assessments of the City’s waterfront infrastructure
including breakwaters, seawalls, piers, boat ramps, marinas, and mooring systems. Underwater structural
investigations performed prior to beginning the design process or as part of a regular maintenance
program can introduce potential cost‐savings to the City’s waterfront facilities.
Marine and Coastal Engineering
For over 30 years, APTIM's engineers have designed and managed the construction of over 100 marine
and coastal engineering projects including docks, seawalls, and dredge/fill projects. We will apply this
experience and understanding of marine and coastal construction to the City’s projects. Typical projects
for APTIM include the following:
APTIM divers have experience deploying ADCPs for
hydrodynamic data collection.

Docks
APTIM has designed docking facilities for many municipalities around the State of Florida. These projects
have ranged from 150 feet of timber dock at Curtis Park in Miami (Miami‐Dade County) to replacement of
docks at a 77 slip marina at Founders Park in Islamorada (Monroe County). APTIM’s dock designs
incorporate marine‐grade products to provide durable, long‐lasting projects. APTIM also designs docks
that can be easily built by qualified marine contractors to minimize project delays and change orders.
Seawalls
APTIM designs, permits, and assists with construction administration of bulkheads and seawalls. These
projects have ranged from a 600‐foot long Intracoastal Waterway bulkhead in Delray Beach to the seawall
replacement design at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. We designed and assisted with construction
contract administration of the Seawinds Condominium (Singer Island, Palm Beach County) where a 900‐
foot long oceanfront seawall was constructed of steel sheet piles with a drilled tie back anchor system.
Dredge/Fill
APTIM has experience in designing and evaluating cost‐effective dredge and fill projects. This includes
dredging and dredge material disposal alternatives to achieve both navigational and environmental
improvements in canal and river settings. Beach nourishment and dune restoration projects are a
specialty of APTIM’s engineers. We understand the entire process to design, permit, and monitor these
projects. We routinely develop borrow area designs for beach nourishment and navigation channel
projects where the sand quality must meet strict state‐required compatibility criteria for placement on
shore. Dredge designs consider sediment characteristics and contaminants, cultural resources,
environmentally sensitive areas, and hazards. Offshore sand sources in Miami‐Dade County have recently
been exhausted and projects have turned to upland (truck haul) sand sources. APTIM engineers routinely
visit the local mines to evaluate stockpiled material for beach compatibility for beach nourishment
projects. APTIM has an in‐house laboratory for sediment characterization, and uses an outside source for
chemical testing. Our expertise is applicable to potential projects described in the City’s RFQ.
Environmental Engineering
APTIM’s technical approach to environmental engineering was forged through years of experience as an
environmental engineering and consulting firm, and as a collaborative team member with our state and
local clients. We intend to not only accomplish the scope of services described in RFQ 18‐02‐01, but to
exceed City’s expectations in doing so. APTIM has collaborated with FDOT, FDEP, and DERM management
teams to optimize contract performance, and to efficiently meet their needs and priorities.
The technical approach to this contract requires more than just a method; it will be accomplished by a
team with the requisite knowledge and skills. APTIM’s Contract Management Team and its supporting
resources possess those skills more than any other firm does. Our combination of technical competency
with capabilities in field construction and project management makes our team unique. APTIM’s local
Environmental Engineering Management Team has a combined 50 years of local regulatory experience.
That experience includes all types and levels of various environmental engineering projects with the
practical application of complex science and engineering principles.
We stay abreast of local and national environmental regulatory issues through state activities and
through membership and active participation on several industry organizations. We also hold Miami‐Dade
County Professional Pre‐Qualifications in several environmental engineering‐related categories; further
evidence of APTIM’s technical proficiency.

APTIM is also one of a very few environmental engineering contractors with corresponding contracts with
the FDEP under the Petroleum Restoration Program as an Agency Term Contractor and a Dry Cleaning
Hazardous Waste Program Contractor. We have the experience and eligibility to seek FDEP funding and
program assignment to City projects that may eliminate or reduce cost to the City under the FDEP closure
guidelines. APTIM not only has the technical expertise and experience to perform the scope of services
required for this RFQ, but we have the right people and the capacity to get it done!
Project Engineering Design
Every project location in coastal environments is highly site specific and designing waterfront structures
requires in depth understanding of not only structural and geotechnical engineering but the coastal
processes (wave climate, water levels, currents, sediment transport rates and directions, etc.) affecting
the particular project site. Our experience working in South Florida is very useful in understanding these
processes at a holistic, regional scale and can be used where possible to minimize rework during the
project design phases. Empirical and desktop engineering design and modeling will be used where
feasible to minimize project costs and expedite project schedule. However, additional numerical
modeling may be necessary to closely manage the design details and evaluate the performance of a
potential project.
APTIM applies the provisions of local and state building codes to provide safe designs that can be easily
permitted. We also continuously monitor Florida Building Commission publications for recent Declaratory
Statements that may allow additional design flexibility. APTIM engineer’s use industry‐standard structural
modeling software for the design of waterfront structures including CWALSHT, ProSheet, and SPT97. Our
engineers are highly capable in the area of coastal engineering numerical modeling, having the state‐of‐
the‐art models and the required expertise to correctly run each model, such as Delft3D, GENESIS, REFDIF,
SWAN, CCCLA, SBEACH, and others. We often use the Delft3D model for coastal evaluations as it is
considered the most complete model available. It includes most of the relevant physical processes
required to conduct an accurate prediction of wave transformation on the nearshore habitat. The Delft3D
SWAN model accounts for wind growth, wave breaking, whitecapping, wave refraction, bottom friction,
wave current interactions and diffraction, which are all important processes to consider.
Design Plans and Specifications
APTIM takes a multi‐phased approach to the development of design plans and specifications to optimize
project schedule and budget while also considering stakeholders. The first step in the design process, the
Conceptual Design Phase, develops a complete understanding of the specific project objectives and goals
in coordination with the City once a potential project is identified. This process includes the review and
assessment of all available historical data and collection of new data to support the needs of the
proposed project. This information, along with a summary of the design criteria to be used in conducting
the preliminary and final engineering design work and the proposed project schedule will be summarized
in a memorandum of project understanding and basis of design document.
The second phase in the design process, the Preliminary Design Phase, includes development of a project
layout and cross‐sections of all elements of the design concept. Preliminary design of waterfront
structures may include structure lengths, elevations, materials, and foundation requirements. Preliminary
quantities of all major materials and construction items will be calculated.
A preliminary design report with 30% level design plans will be developed and submitted to the City. It
will summarize the review of the existing data and describe any new field data collected, as well as
present the results of the engineering analyses. This includes approach, methodology, and proposed

features identifying all project components that may have a significant impact on project execution,
permitting, and costs.
The third phase in the design process, the Final Design Phase, includes development of construction plans
and specifications. Marine and coastal engineering project plans will include existing site surveys,
structural plan views, cross‐sections, and structural details. The structural details provide vital information
to marine contractors to minimize Requests for Information (RFIs), Change Orders, and project delays.
The plans will also include information related to site access, staging areas, and other information
required for construction of the waterfront project. The plans will incorporate information concerning
site survey control, which may be used for constructing the waterfront project.
The plans and specifications for the construction of the waterfront projects will be prepared for bidding
for construction. APTIM staff will coordinate with the City to ensure that the technical specifications will
incorporate any requirements from the City for the bidding process. The specifications will provide
sections addressing general conditions, technical provisions, and environmental protection. Specifications
will also incorporate all permit documents requiring contractor compliance with permits through
reference. Also incorporated into the documents will be any geotechnical information for the contractor’s
use. Our plans and specifications will provide detail required by the marine construction contractors to
competently bid and construct the project.
Construction Cost Estimates and Bidding Assistance
APTIM has a thorough understanding of marine construction and has established long‐standing
relationships with marine contractors across the State of Florida. APTIM continuously monitors the
Florida Department of Transportation published pricing data for current unit prices on heavy construction
projects. APTIM uses this information to assemble an Opinion of Construction Cost for each project to
assist with budgeting. The cost estimate generally includes mobilization/demobilization cost, material
cost per unit, and bond costs for the waterfront project. APTIM will contact potential marine construction
contractors to evaluate project costs based on recently bid projects, construction contractor and
equipment availability, material location, and additional construction requirements.
For each project, we will assist the City with preparations to bid the project for construction. We will
obtain the City’s "boiler plate" contract documents for incorporation into a complete package to bid the
project. The bidding documents will include the City’s front end documents, the specifications (including
General Conditions, Technical Specifications, and Environmental Provisions), and the project plans. We
will coordinate with the Purchasing Department of the City to implement the bidding of the project. We
will provide the Purchasing Department names of qualified marine construction firms for waterfront
structures to ensure that capable contractors are aware of the project. Because of our extensive past
experience of managing successful marine and coastal protection construction projects, we are very
familiar with the contractors capable of constructing such specialized work.
APTIM will prepare for, and attend, the pre‐bid meeting for the project to discuss the project and clarify
particular aspects of the project. If necessary, following the pre‐bid meeting, APTIM will prepare addenda
to the plans and specifications for review by the City. If acceptable, the addenda will be sent to all
registered bidders and will become part of the bid package and subsequent contract documents.
We will review the bids presented to the City for the proposed work. In addition to cost factors, the bids
will be reviewed for technical completeness, contractor experience, work plan, schedule, and other
parameters deemed important. As appropriate, APTIM will contact the contractors’ references and make
a final recommendation to the City on the award to the lowest cost, qualified, and capable bidder.

APTIM will prepare for, and attend, the pre‐construction meeting to coordinate with the contractor, and
as required to address the project and permit requirements, review the construction methodology,
technical specifications and schedule, address construction access and work areas, any specific
conditions, and monitoring requirements. These items will be discussed with the contractor, contractor's
associated sub‐contractors, environmental regulatory agencies, and other involved parties.
We will coordinate communication and reporting protocols for the duration of contractor mobilization,
construction, and demobilization activities.
Project Construction Administration and Observation Services
APTIM brings complete marine and coastal engineering project construction administration and
observation experience to the City. General services include contract and permit administration, agency
and contractor coordination, plans and specification administration, construction supervision, quality
control/assurance through daily reporting and various engineering services to monitor the project progress,
contractor invoice review and recommendation, project completion certification, and public contact as
required by the City and other elements of the project. The extent of services can be tailored to support the
City’s needs. Some clients have requested a site observer 24 hours per day, while other clients select to
have an observer only visit once or twice per week and shoulder more of the day‐to‐day details with in‐
house staff. We will observe the project construction process to determine if the contractor is in substantial
compliance with both contract documents and project permits. If not already being performed by the
contractor, APTIM can also conduct any water quality, protected species, and daily sediment quality control
monitoring required.
Our technical personnel are trained and experienced in understanding compliance observation of marine
and coastal engineering projects. APTIM will review all contractor submittals and will notify the
contractor, the City, and the permitting agencies, as required, of any inconsistencies or problems with the
submittals. APTIM will provide periodic reports to the City that summarizes the progress of construction
and compliance with the permit and contract, including, but not limited to, equipment issues, problems
encountered during project construction, methods to correct problems, success in problem correction,
errors, omissions, or deviations from the Contract
Documents, and weather conditions that may have
affected project construction. APTIM will also review
project invoices and change order requests and
provide recommendations to the City.
APTIM will attend periodic progress meetings with
the Contractor and regulatory agencies as
appropriate during construction. We are very familiar
with the latest sediment QA/QC, dredge monitoring,
and environmental monitoring methods and
requirements.
Post-Construction Services
APTIM will continue to assist the City beyond the
construction phase of your projects. Depending on
the project, state and federal permits may require
post‐construction physical and/or biological monitoring to ensure the project performs as designed
without unanticipated environmental impacts. We can perform comprehensive post‐construction
surveying and reporting to meet your specific project needs. In cases where projects involve unavoidable
APTIM provides oversight of coastal construction
projects throughout Florida and the U.S.

impacts to natural resources, such as seagrass, our biologists will monitor the mitigation to document the
functional success of offsetting those impacts.
Some projects may not have permit‐required post‐construction surveys, but the City might choose to
develop a regular underwater inspection program for your existing and future waterfront structures.
APTIM can assist in the development and implementation such a program which can extend the service
life of existing structures and facilitate the City 's budgeting for the repair and replacement of this
infrastructure.
Funding Assistance
Projects along the City’s shoreline and adjacent inlets have been funded by multiple sources including the
Federal Government (through the USACE), the State of Florida (through the FDEP), Miami‐Dade County,
the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND), and the City itself. We recommend that the City continue this
approach of open communication and coordination with these public entities. APTIM has experience in
tracking these various funding sources for a variety of clients as well as additional funding options.
While not typical for smaller‐scale waterfront structures, obtaining funding for a project from the Federal
government is the most complicated and time‐consuming process of the potential funding authorities
listed above. However, Federal funding can be significant. APTIM can monitor, review, and apply on the
City’s behalf for any applicable funding available through the USACE.
The State of Florida provides funding for waterfront projects through the Beach Management Funding
Assistance (BMFA) Program, FWC Florida Boating Improvement Plan, FWC Boating Infrastructure Grant
Program, RESTORE act, and other similar marine‐related grant programs. APTIM can provide the data
needed to support funding requests on behalf of the City, as needed.
APTIM has extensive experience APTIM developing storm impact analysis reports to support the securing
of FEMA Public Assistance disaster relief funding for our municipal clients. We have successfully obtained
Project Worksheets for the City of Deerfield Beach, Manatee County, and Indian River County for
damages associated with Hurricane Hermine, Matthew, and Irma.
Project Management
APTIM has built its stellar reputation by satisfying the needs of clients throughout the state and the
country. The majority of our work comes in the form of indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ)
contracts that require the ability to react to as‐needed task orders that often come concurrently, involve
multiple disciplines, and are to be performed in different locations. APTIM’s project management
procedures support this profile of service and allow our teams to excel in their work delivery by
controlling cost and schedule, while simultaneously enhancing value and quality.
Our APTIM Management System (AMS) contains policies, processes, procedures, work instructions, tools
and supporting documents describing the way APTIM is to execute work activities. AMS represents
APTIM’s best work practices and is continually improving as the company pursues “Excellence in all we
Do.” This forms the basis for our Quality Assurance/Quality Control plan as it covers all facets of a project
from the proposal stage to final close‐out of the project.
While AMS represents APTIM’s baseline methodology for executing business and projects, we recognize
that each project is unique according to the dictates of the contract and task specifics. Our team will
apply APTIM’s proven, highly successful project management system to control all aspects of contract
delivery to meet the City’s goals. The primary features of our project management and control system
include:

A proven task delivery system with the Project Manager as the single point of contact, responsibility,
and authority for all project matters.
Complete project support capabilities, including fully compliant quality assurance, health and safety,
procurement, contract administration, and project controls functions implemented by experienced,
dedicated staff.
Program Delivery and Interaction with
the City
APTIM trains its personnel in our Project Delivery
System (PDS), which provides the framework for
Project Managers to lead a project through its
entire lifecycle: initiating, planning, executing,
monitoring and control, and closing. The objective
of the PDS is client satisfaction through
performance excellence. The focus of the system is
facilitating the highest possible quality in every
aspect of a job. Our PDS has been implemented on
thousands of projects, and generally follows a
flexible management style, meaning that there are
rigid centralized company controls but the project
has autonomy for entrepreneurship and innovation
depending on the needs of a specific client or
project. This process is illustrated in Exhibit 1.
Our project managers monitor and evaluate
technical, cost, and schedule performance within a
single integrated project baseline and can quickly
evaluate progress and make course corrections to
ensure project objectives are achieved.
Project management support includes timely
reports resulting from our project controls system
that include tracking progress, updating schedules,
financial execution, and numerous other elements
we routinely monitor to assess progress for our
clients. Successful project management and client
satisfaction requires close communications. We

understand that the City is at the helm and that it never wants surprises from its consultants either in the
performance of their services or in helping to foresee obstacles or increased risks that might impact the
goals of the City. The APTIM Team’s communications protocols and proactive consultancy will keep the
City’s best interests in the forefront. For example, on the City of Deerfield Beach Storm Berm
Nourishment project, continuous communication with the City was needed early in the project to meet
permit submittal deadlines and strategically determine the proper environmental permitting path to
pursue given a changing sand source. APTIM’s flexibility and continuous project management allowed us
to quickly change course and to deliver the proper permit type within a reasonable timeframe and within
the existing contract framework. We will use multiple methods of communications including written
reports, phone calls, and email.
With our team located close by, we find face‐to‐face meetings are also beneficial for developing project
scopes and discussion at key project milestones. We are also available to attend and present at City
Commission meetings as needed.
Project Planning
Upon receipt of the task order, the critical path schedule dictates the sequence of tasks, such as public
involvement and education, design approvals, environmental impacts, permitting, and bidding. A
successful project begins with the development of a detailed scope that properly defines the goals and
objectives, and clearly identifies the tasks involved to accomplish those goals and objectives. Upon the
agreement of a project scope, a work plan is developed that assigns a schedule to every task required in
the project’s life‐cycle. With the proper planning and dedication to adhering to that critical path plan,
surprises are kept to a minimum. Unforeseen circumstances happen, but by applying a proactive
approach to define the obstacle and presenting alternative solutions to mitigate the impacts of the
obstacle, time and cost impacts are avoided. APTIM uses the same general approach to all of our projects,
but fine‐tunes the approach to address the specific scope and scale of each of project.
As the City identifies work that it needs accomplished, APTIM’s management team will identify which
team members are required to complete the task and coordinate to develop a detailed scope of work and
budget. The Project Manager, with input from key team members, will develop a Project Work Plan that
acts as the blueprints for the project, including manpower, equipment scheduling, and a timeline for
deliverables.
Protecting our clients’ budget and schedule are important elements of project delivery. For the City,
APTIM will respond to all requests given with immediacy. Upon receiving a notice to proceed, our staff
will commence work to meet the identified timeline for deliverables.
Before beginning work, and at regular intervals thereafter, APTIM will work to develop and adapt (if
necessary) a project timeline for deliverables that meets the City’s needs. Depending on the complexity of
the project, which may involve many disciplines over a long period of time, the project’s Work Plan may
activate internal systems for continued control. Regular informal updates or formal reporting will be
provided to the City as a project progresses depending on the needs of the project and the City.

Sub-Consultant Management
APTIM applies high standards in choosing subcontractors for our teams. Each subcontractor must show
safety records, proper licensure, insurance, and financial stability. Our subcontractors are subject to the
same safety and performance quality rigors as our own staff.
APTIM’s experience with the City and our choice to use experienced sub‐consultants eliminates the
learning curve and allows us to provide continuous, seamless integrated services. The Project Manager
will be in continuous communication with each subcontractor to ensure the proper scope has been
defined, the budget and schedule are being satisfied, and project deliverables are of the quality the City
has come to expect from APTIM.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
APTM’s quality assurance/quality control program is more than just words; it represents a company‐wide
commitment to our clients that every aspect
of a project will be complete as requested
following established guidelines, plans, and
best management practices. APTIM has
standard operating procedures that address
virtually every aspect of our work and ensure
consistent, quality work products for any
project requirements (Exhibit 2).
In providing our services to the City under this
contract, quality assurance will involve
reviewing sub‐consultant deliverables to
confirm they meet APTIM’s and the City’s
expectations. Quality control steps will be
implemented routinely throughout the project
using manual and automated methods
including commercial and proprietary tools
including sampling procedures/analytical test
methods in accordance with established
industry standards and continuous review of
internal work products. APTIM measures
quality through the accuracy, consistency,
comprehensiveness, and understandability of
deliverables, which also must meet City
expectations.
APTIM understands that a project is not complete until a concise, thorough, and most importantly, an
understandable report is delivered. Our staff is experienced in developing reports that meet the needs of
our clients and regulatory reviewers and approvers. Our staff includes word processing specialists and
technical editors. Each deliverable is subjected to a stringent quality control review. Before final
reproduction, the document receives a final review by technical staff and the Project Manager. APTIM
can provide paper copies and electronic deliverables per the project scope. We develop standardized
templates for use in our reports. This enables consistent formatting and efficient production. We use the
latest in software and maintain high speed, high quality printers to ensure our deliverables are efficiently
produced.

Safety
Safety is a core value at APTIM, born of the belief that workplace accidents are preventable when staff is
properly trained and prepared for their tasks. To this end, our firm focuses on safety in a number of ways.
Meetings, conference calls, or other gatherings begin with a safety moment so that all individuals develop
a mindset and are rewarded for safety communications. Before personnel enter the field, they participate
in a tailgate meeting where they discuss the day’s work, possible hazards and their mitigation, proper
tools, and the location of emergency health facilities. In our work in Florida, the heat index and lightning
storms receive extreme vigilance in order to keep teams safe. Every employee carries a safety card that
empowers him/her to call a work shutdown if they
observe unsafe practices.
As a result of our safety efforts, APTIM maintains one
of the lowest Experience Modification Rates (EMR) (a
measure of safety performance) in the industry, as
illustrated in Exhibit 3. We also utilize an established
Dive Safety Program for all underwater work, which
exceeds OSHA and AAUS standards.
Invoicing
APTIM’s accounting department will prepare monthly
invoices for services rendered during the previous
month on a percent complete basis for lump sum
contracts or hourly for time and materials contracts.
Proposals and subsequent invoices will be based on
the approved rates and classifications for the Master
Agreement established for this continuing services contract. The Project Manager will review all invoices,
including those of other team members, before they are issued to the City for accuracy and
completeness.

Coastal Modeling
APTIM is on the forefront of coastal engineering numerical modeling. We have state‐of‐the‐art models,
such as Delft3D, GENESIS, REFDIF, SWAN, CCCLA, SBEACH and others, and the expertise to run them. We
often use the Delft3D model for coastal evaluations as it is considered the most complete model
available. Our modeling studies are developed by our coastal engineers who are strongly grounded in
coastal process theory and applications. We review our model results in the context of overall project
objectives and cost reduction and incorporate them into designs and analyses as a tool to improve
performance and longevity of projects. The behavior of beaches, inlets, and intracoastal shorelines can be
complex and dynamic. In order to overcome these complexities and test a wide range of solutions, APTIM
bases each project design on proven engineering principles with the added benefit of state‐of‐the‐art
numerical models.
Biology
Our biologists are highly regarded within the scientific
community for their expertise and commitment to
habitat conservation. APTIM values the collaboration of
biologists and engineers starting at project inception,
which allows the project team to identify natural
resources in the area and work towards designing and
permitting a project that avoids environmental
impacts.
Our biologists do a thorough review of available natural
resource data when a project begins, typically followed
by an on‐site field investigation to assess the current
environmental conditions. As part of the planning and
permitting process, APTIM biologists often survey and
delineate hardbottom, artificial reef and seagrass
habitats. Our biologists undergo training in industry‐
established data collection and monitoring
methodologies in order to accurately identify and
classify biota and habitat types. Our biologists are
trained in the application of the Unified Mitigation
Assessment Method (UMAM) that they routinely use to
determine appropriate mitigation when projects result in unavoidable impacts.
APTIM biologists routinely design and implement biological monitoring programs to detect potential
project‐related impacts to natural resources and to monitor the success of mitigative artificial reefs. Our
firm is certified as an American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) organization, committed to
always implementing the highest level of safe‐diving practices.
Following program design and implementation, our biologists conduct statistical analyses on the data
collected in order to report results in a clear and concise manner to our clients and regulatory agencies.
All monitoring and reporting are conducted in coordination with agency staff and in compliance of state
and federal permit requirements.
APTIM biologists routinely conduct benthic surveys
throughout Florida.

Permitting
Our team begins each project with early coordination between clients and agencies to provide baseline
data and environmental documents (including NEPA documents) to facilitate and often expedite the
permitting process. Our biologists, engineers and geologists work together to guide our clients through
the permitting process based on a thorough understanding of current regulations and environmental
resource concerns. APTIM routinely prepares joint‐coastal permit (JCP), environmental resource permit
(ERP) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredge and fill permit applications, coordinating with state and
federal agencies to obtain authorizations for a range of marine and coastal projects throughout Florida.
We have also acquired permits with the Florida Water Management Districts. Our in‐house staff of
professionals have the technical expertise to provide comprehensive and accurate information to the
regulatory agencies in a timely fashion and are highly experienced with the issues of primary concern to
regulators evaluating marine and coastal projects.
Funding Assistance
As a routine component of our business, APTIM works with various funding sources as applicable to a
particular project. This allows local governments to leverage other grants and cost sharing. APTIM staff
have the ability, knowledge and professional relationships to provide additional assistance to the City in
coordinating with governmental or other agencies, and with the public. An important step to gaining
consensus and support for a project is education of the long‐term trends, processes and benefits.
Our engineers and biologists often participate in local stakeholder meetings to discuss proposed projects
for clients.
Coastal Geology
Our geology department leads the industry in
identifying beach compatible sand sources. We have
located sand sources in Florida, Alabama, New York,
Louisiana, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and
Massachusetts, as well as in sand starved areas of the
upper Texas coast. Our geophysicists and geologists
are experts in the use of remote sensing techniques,
marine geophysical data collection, processing and
interpretation, combining geomorphological mapping
with geotechnical measurements to locate and define
sand deposits accurately and effectively. Our
techniques are proven and efficient as we are able to
modify field operations on the fly as data is collected
and immediately analyzed.
Our success in identifying beach compatible material is rooted in the systematic approach to marine sand
searches developed over the years by our team of professionals. In a comprehensive marine sediment
search, we organize the investigation into three sequential phases that the FDEP has adopted as a
standard. This phased approach can be modified to meet the scope of the investigation and account for
the level of work previously performed. Regardless of the phases executed during a sediment search, our
investigation sequencing is preserved in order to maintain efficiency to provide confident results. Our
regional sand search approach is so successful that it has also been incorporated into Louisiana's Office of
Coastal Protection and Restoration (OCPR) "General Guidelines: Exploration for Offshore Sand Sources."

Our highly trained and licensed team of surveyors performs topographic and hydrographic surveys using
the latest technology and techniques. The incorporation of cutting edge technologies, such as Real Time
Kinematic Global Positioning Systems (RTK GPS) and Dynamic Motion Sensors, provides for the highest
level of confidence in all aspects of the data collection. RTK GPS is capable of collecting centimeter scale
elevations onshore and highly accurate positions and tidal data at sea. The further integration of motion
sensors on the survey vessel delivers highly precise data, which meets or exceeds USACE and
International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) accuracy standards. Our high quality offshore data is easily
merged with topographic data, which is critical for beach profile measurement. Our survey team can
produce seamless beach profiles. The tools and techniques we have developed provide our clients with
the most accurate morphological data leading to the best coastal management decisions.
We also use multibeam sonars and 3D scanning sonars when a complete depiction of the seafloor is
needed to support a project. APTIM has collected thousands of miles of multibeam data throughout the
southeastern United States. Our surveyors utilize several GPS systems and Inertial Measurement Units to
collect the most accurate data possible. The powerful computer systems onboard the survey vessels
allow for real time monitoring of the survey data to ensure one hundred percent coverage and data
integrity. 3D Sonars are also uniquely suited for underwater infrastructure inspection and imaging
without the cost of divers and without having to put a person in harm’s way.
GIS/CAD
Our GIS/CAD department provides state‐of‐the‐art engineering drawings and mapping services in
compliance with local, state and federal resource protection and management agency directives. Our
team is experienced with the suite of ESRI’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) products and
supporting software applications including Oracle, MS SQL, Javascript API, Visual Studio, Silverlight, FLEX,
SDE, .NET, Access and Microsoft sync technology for wireless field synchronization.
Our GIS professionals are responsible for providing a wide range of information management services and

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
Indian River County following construction of the Sector 3 Dune Repair Project (2015).
Program Description:
Since 2013, APTIM staff have been providing quality coastal engineering consulting services to Indian River County.
During this time, we have successfully implemented major beach management initiatives for the County. Our team has
unequaled direct project experience on recent Indian River County beach restoration projects. This experience includes
beach management, feasibility studies, design, engineering, permitting, construction management, biological support
services, physical monitoring, grant writing assistance, and post‐storm assessments.
Project Description:
The initial Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project was completed in three phases between 2010 and 2012. The
initial project was 6.6 miles long and spanned from R‐20 to R‐55. Following completion of the initial project, the effects of
Hurricane Sandy passing off the coast of Florida in October 2012 resulted in significant dune erosion to the project area.
APTIM designed, permitted, managed construction, and currently monitors the Sector 3 Dune Repair Project,
constructed in the winter of 2014/15.
Instead of obtaining a new permit to address the damages, APTIM was able to obtain an FDEP permit modification for a
one‐time truck haul sand placement project to quickly address this need. There was tremendous savings of time and
money for the County to have the repair project implemented this way.
APTIM developed a feasibility study to specifically address the damages that occurred from Hurricane Sandy. The
renourishment project was to have “no impact” to the nearshore hardbottom communities fronting the project area.
The final project design entailed a modest dune feature and planting of dune vegetation from Treasure Shores Beach
Park south to northern John’s Island (R‐24 to R‐55). All construction activities occurred seaward of the existing dune
vegetation line and above the Mean High Water Line (MHWL).
Sand for the construction was obtained from two upland sand sources, Blue Goose Mine (f.k.a. Hammond Mine) and
Davis Mine, and transported to the project site via truck haul method. In total, the project placed approximately 173,068
cubic yards of sand. Following sand placement, the constructed dune crest was vegetated with Approximately 189,300
native plantings. APTIM developed the post‐construction physical monitoring report and continues to assist regarding
post‐project physical monitoring and biological monitoring support.

OTHER NOTABLE EFFORTS FOR THE COUNTY:
• Beach Preservation Plan (BPP)
In 2015, APTIM developed an update to the County’s BPP, first adopted in 1988. The BPP details the County’s strategies
for the management and the long‐term sustainability of its coastline. The purpose of this update was to reevaluate the
condition of the County’s coastline and identify cost effective alternatives to maintain and improve its sustainability. To
accomplish this, the following goals were established: 1) avoid adverse impacts to environmental resources including
nearshore hardbottom, 2) assess the vulnerability of upland property up to a 30‐year storm event, 3) quantify the
damages due to shoreline retreat over the next 30 years, and 4) determine the recreational value of the beaches. To
address these goals, APTIM completed several tasks, including updating the beach conditions by evaluating shoreline and
volumetric change data and performing erosion and storm impact analyses. We also held public meetings to explain the
objectives of the update to the BPP and to solicit public input into potential beach management strategies. Management
strategies were developed and analyzed to identify cost effective alternatives to maintain and improve the sustainability
of the County’s beaches. Additionally, APTIM identified potential funding sources and mechanisms to fund these
strategies, for the County’s consideration.
• Post‐Hurricane Matthew FEMA Assistance
APTIM developed storm impact analysis reports for the efforts of securing FEMA Public Assistance disaster relief funding
for the Sector 3 project, as well as the 2.6 miles of Sector 5 and the 2.1 miles of Sector 7. We continue to support the
County with FEMA coordination, as needed.
• Sector 5 Beach Restoration Design and Permitting
APTIM is currently performing design and permitting services for the proposed Sector 5 Beach Restoration Project in the
City of Vero Beach (R‐70 to R‐86). APTIM has developed a project feasibility study and preliminary design for the
~200,000 cy project. We are currently coordinating with State and Federal permit agencies in an effort to obtain
environmental permits for the project.

Manatee Public Beach (2016), Manatee County, Florida
Program Description:
Since 1989, the staff of APTIM have been the coastal consultant to Manatee County. We have produced and maintained
a comprehensive beach management plan for the County and have continually provided engineering and biological
services for the County’s coastal program, including: project design, geotechnical investigations, environmental studies,
hardbottom monitoring, State and Federal permitting, surveying services, and construction administration required to
build the County’s coastal projects. Our history with Manatee County is an example of our dedication to providing a
wealth of technical and program management services that benefit our clients.
Project Description:
Coquina Beach is located at the south end of Anna Maria Island, a 7.5 mile long barrier island located immediately south
of Tampa Bay. The beach renourishment of Coquina Beach was constructed by Manatee County in March 2014. The
2014 project included the placement of a total of about 332,200 cubic yards of sand along approximately 1.5 miles to
repair damages from Tropical Storm Debby and re‐fill the beach template to full capacity. The sand was obtained from
off of the northern end of Anna Maria Island within the ebb tidal shoal complex of Passage Key Inlet.
The federally authorized Central Beach project area, located immediately north of Coquina Beach, was nourished
between December 2013 and March 2014. Coquina Beach was not a part of the Central Beach Renourishment Program
and did not qualify for Federal funding. In order to renourish Coquina Beach, APTIM worked to "piggy‐back" the Coquina
Beach project onto the Federal project, saving Manatee County millions of dollars in mobilization/demobilization costs to
nourish Coquina Beach.

Coquina Beach (2015).
APTIM provided geotechnical services to identify the sand source, the engineering services, State and FEMA funding
acquisition assistance, permitting services, extensive environmental services, technical consultation and construction
oversight services to help restore this portion of the island’s receding coastline.
APTIM also developed and acquired permits for a seven‐mile‐long underwater pipeline corridor which allowed the
dredging contractor to use the same equipment to deliver sand to both ends of the island. The use of an underwater
pipeline to place sand in Coquina Beach avoided pipeline placement on the beach over almost the entire length of Anna
Maria Island.
APTIM also designed and constructed an approximate 5‐acre mitigative artificial reef approximately 1,100 feet off the
coast of Coquina Beach. APTIM staff worked aggressively on the County's behalf to limit the amount of required artificial
reef as replacement for burial of nearshore hardbottom by the beach nourishment project, again saving Manatee County
construction funds.
OTHER NOTABLE EFFORTS FOR THE COUNTY:
• Federal Coordination and Funding in the City of Anna Maria Island
APTIM assisted Manatee County with proceeding under the authority of Section 206 as the non‐federal sponsor of
construct the federally authorized Central Beach nourishment project. Section 206 allowed Manatee County to engineer
and construct the project, control the design and schedule and reduce engineering and construction costs. APTIM
adapted the construction project to include a 0.6‐mile coastal segment in the City of Anna Maria, which is not part of the
Federal project.
• Emergency Response
We have assisted the Manatee County in securing funds and construction assistance for multiple storm repair projects:
2005 and 2011 projects in response to hurricane activity in 2004 (H. Charlie/Ivan), 2014 project in response to T.S.
Debby, and currently working with the County to obtain FEMA funding associated with the storm damages from
Hurricane Hermine and Hurricane Irma.
• Coastal Structure Removal & Replacement
APTIM is assisting the County with the Cortez Groins Removal and Replacement project, which includes the demolition of
three dilapidated pier‐type structures and replacement with new permeable adjustable groins in order maintain the
stabilization of the shoreline that fronts the island’s evacuation route.

Since 1989, APTIM’s team of professionals has provided a
full range of engineering, geotechnical, environmental,
coastal modeling, coastal structures design, permitting,
construction assistance, funding acquisition, physical
monitoring and surveying services to the City of Sarasota
resulting in the construction of five beach nourishment
projects on Lido Key, Florida. The City’s beach
preservation program has been highly successful in
restoring and maintaining the popular recreational beach
of Lido Key, providing storm protection to the beach road
(Ben Franklin Drive), and protection to upland structures.
In 2009 and 2015, Lido Key Beach Renourishment
Projects were constructed as FEMA funded projects since
they repaired storm damages to a previously engineered
(non‐federal) beach renourishment project. APTIM
prepared a storm loss analyses in order for the City to obtain FEMA funding associated with the storm damages to the
beach. APTIM assisted the City in applying for time extensions and minor modification to the existing FDEP and USACE
permits, which allowed the project to be constructed with the existing permits. We also provided the City with oversight
and support during construction and assistance with the post‐construction permit requirements. The 2009 project won
the ASBPA Best Restored Beach Award.
An inlet management study developed by APTIM allowed for the use of New Pass ebb shoal as the sediment source.
APTIM conducted Delft3D numerical modeling to determine the coastal effects of excavating sediment from New Pass.
APTIM has also provided in‐kind services that enabled the USACE to re‐establish Lido Key as a federal project and to
develop a federally authorized and funded shore protection project, which will include fill placement and coastal
structures. We are assisting the City with the permitting and coordination for the federal project that will renouish Lido

Project Descriptions:
APTIM has provided various coastal and marine engineering services for the City of Deerfield Beach since 2005 and is
currently assisting the City with the development and implementation of their coastal and waterway program. The City’s
waterfront presents many unique challenges, which require attention during design and permitting to avoid impacts to
the environment while maintaining project intent and benefit. The following provides summaries of current and previous
projects APTIM is implementing or has completed for the City.
Storm Berm Nourishment Project
Since 2016, our team of coastal engineers has been involved with the preliminary design and permitting of a storm berm
nourishment project for the City. The project included topographic beach surveys along the entire City shoreline to
support the preliminary design, which included a varying design template to restore the dune and beach berm. Sand
samples were collected and analyzed by our in‐house geologists. A Coastal Construction Control Line permit was
prepared and submitted to the FDEP. The final permit was recently issued and provides the City with a proactive
mechanism to nourish their shoreline before or after a storm.
Hurricane Irma Pier Repair
APTIM performed a structural engineering assessment of the
International Fishing Pier to evaluate damage sustained during
Hurricane Irma. The assessment included both above and
underwater data collection, which was used to provide
recommendations for repair design. APTIM provided structural
engineering design for the repair of the structure. The project is
currently under construction and APTIM is providing construction
administration services.
Artificial Reef Project
APTIM is currently engaged by the City to design and permit the
construction of a recreational artificial reef in the nearshore of the City offshore of SE 2nd Street. The project is based on
the Artificial Reef Feasibility Study we completed in 2010. The project is partially funded with grants from Florida Sea
Grant. APTIM completed a materials assessment of the existing boulder stockpile in Tivoli Park, completed a stability
analysis to optimize the design, and prepared permit applications for Broward County, FDEP, and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The project is currently in permitting with construction expected in late 2018.

Vessel Exclusion Zone
APTIM is providing coastal engineering and permitting services for
a vessel exclusion zone. Services include coordination with the
FDEP and USACE to permit a series of buoys along the City
shoreline to create a safe area for public swimming and
snorkeling. The project is ongoing but will include sediment
probes to determine buoy foundation requirements, engineering
design, and preparation of plans and specifications. Construction
is expected to begin in late 2018.
FEMA Coordination Project
The effects of Hurricane Matthew passing off the coast of Florida
resulted in beach erosion along the City’s shoreline. APTIM
completed a post‐Hurricane Matthew storm damage assessment
using City provided topographic beach profile data. Volume losses
were calculated and documentation was submitted to FEMA.
APTIM obtained a fully executed Project Worksheet (PW) for
future project reimbursement.
2008/2009 Dune Restoration Projects
APTIM designed, permitted, and oversaw construction activities of
2 beach nourishment projects in the City. The 2008 and 2009
projects were constructed to address erosion that occurred
during the 2007 tropical storm season. The projects both qualified
for FEMA funding for restoration and placed 5,100 and 7,300
cubic yards of upland sand, respectively, to restore the eroded
beach. The projects were permitted by the FDEP under the CCCL
program, which restricted the fill placement to above the mean
high water line.
Deerfield Canals Hydrographic Survey
APTIM conducted a hydrographic survey of approximately 3.5
linear miles of 16 canals in the City of Deerfield Beach in 2005.
Approximately five longitudinal transects were surveyed through
each of the 16 canals and depths were collected at approximately
5‐foot intervals. The data was analyzed and presented to the City,
which allowed the City to avoid maintenance dredging and
significant capital expenditure.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
Since 1973, the City of Delray Beach has made major strides in restoring their eroded beach. Once at risk to being overtaken
by the ocean, highway A1A and its neighboring properties have been protected by the wide beach. The beach of Delray Beach
is known through the United States as a wonderful beach experience destination and an important economic asset to the City
and State.
To date, the City of Delray Beach (the City) has participated in eight beach nourishment projects. Approximately 7.9 million
cubic yards of sand from offshore borrow areas have been placed as a result of the City's beach preservation efforts. Since the
initial nourishment of 1973, the City has maintained the beach through planned, periodic beach renourishment on five
occasions, including 1978, 1984, 1992, 2002 and 2013. Storm damage repair projects were constructed in 2005 and 2014 by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in response to losses from the active 2004 hurricane season and 2012’s Hurricane
Sandy. Since the initial restoration in 1973, the project area retains approximately 5.1 million cubic yards of beach compatible
material, which is 64% of the total volume placed. The retention of material within the project area has continually improved,
without significantly changing renourishment volumes of individual projects.
Delray Beach after the 2013 truck Haul dune repair project (2013).
The Fifth Periodic Beach Renourishment Project was constructed in March and April 2013 and included the placement of
approximately 1,158,500 cubic yards of sediment along the 1.9‐mile project area in Delray Beach. The project reestablished
the federally authorized project, based on the most recent federal design document, the 2001 Limited Reevaluation Report.
The project also replaced losses caused by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.
APTIM engineers provided all of the engineering services required for each project since 1978, including project design,
geotechnical investigations, environmental studies, State and Federal permitting, surveying services and construction
oversight required to build each project. The beach at Delray Beach won the “Best Restored Beach” award in 2002, and the
American Shore and Beach Protection Association’s “Best Beach” award in 2005 and 2013.
Emergency Dune Repair
After the passage of Hurricane Sandy off the coast of Florida, the northern end of Delray Beach in Palm Beach County was
riddled with dune scarping. This northern area had historically been stable and was therefore not included in the upcoming
2013 Fifth Periodic Beach Renourishment. To quickly address this need, the City of Delray Beach worked with APTIM to obtain
an FDEP field permit for a truck haul sand placement project. APTIM also investigated a permit modification that would allow
dredged sand to be stock piled during the upcoming periodic beach nourishment and then transported up the beach to the
northern end.
APTIM surveyors conducted pre‐ and post‐construction beach surveys of the impacted area. APTIM engineers coordinated

with agencies, designed and calculated volumes of the dune fill templates, and produced a set of construction plan drawings
on an expedited schedule.
The truck haul project was constructed over three days in February of 2013. Approximately 2,500 cy of sand were hauled from
E.R. Jahna’s Ortona sand mine and delivered to the northernmost public access at Delray Beach. Eastman Aggregates, Inc.
placed the sand on the dry beach and graded it into sloping dunes along 970 linear feet of beach between R‐176 and R‐177.
Delray Beach before and after construction (2013).
During construction, APTIM engineers provided continuous construction oversight. The on‐site observer constantly monitored
sediment quality and verified that fill placement met the design template. APTIM collected weight tickets and tracked
delivered quantities for payment. During demobilization, APTIM engineers were able to ensure that the contractor returned
the access and staging area to its original condition.

Coastal Resiliency Planning
APTIM is perfectly suited for climate change vulnerability assessments and planning due to our specialized experience
with database management, GIS, modeling, engineering, planning, outreach and project management. We have several
resiliency projects under our belt and would welcome the opportunity to assist the City of Sunny Isles Beach in
developing adaptation plans that are clear, concise and defensible based on our documented quantifications and digital
procedures.
Resiliency
Although the “resiliency” term has become popular only in recent years, APTIM has been on the front lines of resiliency
since 1984. Our initial projects revolved around constructing beach nourishment projects that mitigated the effects of
coastal destruction caused by sea level rise and tropical storms. In order to design the best beaches and coastal
structures, we have built a team of experts that understand coastal process and the drivers for climate change. Our
experts specialize in sea level rise, storm surge, oceanography, sediment transport, remote sensing, and GIS to name a
few. With a company filled with a diverse set of skills that apply to all facets of coastal change, there was a natural
expansion of services to our clients that include scientific studies that focus on climate change.
We recently completed the Texas Coastal Resiliency project, which compiled and cataloged more than 900 reports that
addressed topics that ranged from emergency response plans to environmental to specific disaster information. An
expansive geodatabase with over 3,000 potentially affected systems were compiled and ranked based on their risk to
climate change.
In 2013, we completed a sustainability master plan for the City of Palm Bay, Florida. The plan focused on the
sustainability of the environment, economy and social equity to support a green economy that reduces energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emission while optimizing service quality to the community. The project involved
energy audits and quantifications of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from facilities, data centers, vehicles,
transportation infrastructure and park facilities. We also worked with the City to develop sustainable land use policies
and codes for construction.
APTIM has continued to assist the City of New York with preparations of a resiliency vision document along with
housing lighting and energy assessments. The vision document entitled Recover to Resiliency provides a roadmap for
choices, commitments and actions to guide the rebuilding efforts following Hurricane Sandy so that the City’s actions
will pay dividends for the residents and the environment for years to come.
We surveyed 26 sites, 229 buildings and more than 600 apartment units to help the City formulate a plan and obtain
funding to upgrade lighting fixtures at all Housing Authority owned properties. The upgraded lighting will not only
reduce energy consumption but also increase light quality to make sites safer and more inviting for residents and
visitors.
GIS
The GIS team based out of Boca Raton, Florida is responsible for providing a wide range of information management
services and product support to all of our offices. These services include GIS design and deployment, database design,
web server applications, document and record management, mobile data collection support, map development, GIS
training and user manual creation. Our team is experienced with the suite of ESRI’s GIS products and supporting
software applications including Python, Oracle, MS SQL, Javascript API, Visual Studio, Silverlight, FLEX, SDE, .NET, Access
and Microsoft sync technology for wireless field synchronization.

Texas Coastal Resiliency Study limits
SLOSH model results in Massachusetts
The Texas Resiliency project contained more than 3,000 datasets that were compiled into a single geodatabase. APTIM
developed a method to combine multiple hazards that allowed for quantification of vulnerability for each system. We
pushed the data online so that stakeholders can view the data and analyze the results. We developed custom tools that
produced reports for each identified system that was susceptible to climate change and those reports could be printed
by the stakeholders to assist with their planning duties.
APTIM has been assisting the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with their LiDAR and regional sediment management
(RSM) programs. For the LiDAR projects, we developed custom tools using Python within ArcGIS that extract metrics like
shorelines and quantifies volume change which provides coastal managers with accurate data for coastal management
planning. For RSM, we use Python to generate custom tools that ingest various USACE datasets to produce a national
summary that indicates how sediments are being disposed for all of their inlet dredging projects. The RSM database is
pushed online so that USACE District managers can review the results and provide additional information to improve
the geodatabase.

Modeling Applications
In order to fully understand how to apply modeling products to a climate change vulnerability assessment, it is
important to understand how to run and interpret the models that are producing the results. We have a dedicated
team at APTIM that runs a wide range of coastal models for many of our clients. Our modeling projects are developed
by a team of experienced physical oceanographers and coastal engineers who are strongly grounded in coastal process
theory and applications. In addition to SLOSH, APTIM also owns and operates Delft3D, MIKE21, Bouss2D, STWAVE,
ADCIRC, GENESIS, UNIBEST CL+, DNRBS, SBEACH, and the BEACH‐fx economic storm damage model.
APTIM recently completed running the SLOSH model for the EPA who was concerned about how climate change will
affect the water supply for the Mattapoisett area of southern Massachusetts. Four different SLR scenarios and three
different climate conditions were considered that produced more than 400 modeling runs. The SLOSH results were
then applied to the HEC‐RAS model to predict how quickly the water supply would flush seawater should the dam
protecting the water supply be overtopped.
Sustainability
APTIM strives not only to reach sustainability goals, but to exceed them by investing in the research and development
required to find new and innovative technologies that will set us apart from other firms, and benefit our clients.
APTIM encourages its employees to engage in community based sustainability initiatives such as the City of Chicago's
Green Office Challenge and Austin, Texas Green Business Leaders program. The Challenge and Green Business Leaders
are city‐wide programs that target businesses, non‐profits and government agencies to reduce their carbon emissions
and environmental footprint, as a key element of city climate action and sustainability plans. We consistently receive
the highest level of recognition in these programs.
APTIM incorporates green and sustainable activities into numerous areas within the organization, including integrating
sustainable design into its facilities such as LEED Gold and Silver spaces, and encourages sustainable practices at the
office level. Practices include bike parking and changing facilities, transit subsidies, alternative transportation, on‐site
composting, telecommuting, car‐sharing, emission offsets for rental vehicles, community supported agriculture, water
conservation, the regular purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs) and volunteer technical assistance to community
energy and sustainability projects.
APTIM is institutionalizing best practices by achieving ISO certification in the Madison, WI office. The best practices
from that successful pilot will be replicated in other APTIM offices.
Implementation is supported and coordinated by a number of sustainability and energy experts throughout the
company. APTIM supports the governance of this program within the existing management structure already set for its
current operations.
Internally, APTIM recently performed a sustainability and energy usage analysis of its own portfolio of buildings to
identify the top energy using locations. Based on this assessment, APTIM has performed internal energy audits of its top
seven facilities. The goal of these assessments is to find both low‐cost and capital improvement projects available to
reduce our energy usage and carbon footprint. These audits identified an average potential energy reduction of 10% to
13% across APTIM’s entire owned and operated facilities.
Based on our national energy spend, APTIM projects a potential cost effective annual energy savings potential of $1.2M.
This is based on implementation of a national energy reduction strategy applying low‐cost and capital improvement
energy efficiency projects. This equates to an approximate annual reduction of 11,300,000 kWh, 156,000 Therms, and
8,500 metric tons of CO2. APTIM is committed to investing time and resources to be the world’s leading sustainability
solutions‐based company that assesses, develops, implements, maintains, and operates environmental programs that
contribute to our clients’ sustainability goals and targets.
Reporting
Well‐written documentation is an essential element of our communication system. APTIM has over 30 years of
experience preparing all types of reports and documents for our Florida clients. This experience enables us to develop
reporting formats that provide clear, concise data for review and approval by the City.

Sector 3 Dune Repair Project
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
Program Description:
Since 2013, the APTIM staff have been providing quality coastal
engineering consulting services to Indian River County. During this
time, we have successfully implemented major beach management
initiatives for the County. Our team has unequaled direct project
experience on recent Indian River County beach restoration
projects. This experience includes beach management, feasibility
studies, design, engineering, permitting, construction management,
biological support services, physical monitoring, grant writing
assistance, and post‐storm assessments.
The initial Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project was
completed in three phases between 2010 and 2012. The initial
project was 6.6 miles long and spanned from R‐20 to R‐55. Following
completion of the initial project, the effects of Hurricane Sandy
passing off the coast of Florida in October 2012 resulted in
significant dune erosion to the project area. APTIM designed,
permitted, managed construction, and currently monitors the
Sector 3 Dune Repair Project, constructed in the winter of 2014/15.
Instead of obtaining a new permit to address the damages, APTIM
was able to obtain an FDEP permit modification for a one‐time truck
haul sand placement project to quickly address this need. There was
tremendous savings of time and money for the County to have the
repair project implemented this way.
APTIM developed a feasibility study to specifically address the
damages that occurred from Hurricane Sandy. The renourishment
project was to have “no impact” to the nearshore hardbottom
communities fronting the project area. The final project design
entailed a modest dune feature and planting of dune vegetation
from Treasure Shores Beach Park south to northern John’s Island (R‐

24 to R‐55). All construction activities occurred seaward
of the existing dune vegetation line and above the Mean
High Water Line (MHWL).
Sand for the construction was obtained from two
upland sand sources, Blue Goose Mine (f.k.a. Hammond
Mine) and Davis Mine, and transported to the project
site via truck haul method. In total, the project placed
approximately 173,068 cubic yards of sand. Following
sand placement, the constructed dune crest was
vegetated with Approximately 189,300 native plantings.
APTIM developed the post‐construction physical
monitoring report and continues to assist regarding
post‐project physical monitoring and biological
monitoring support.
OTHER NOTABLE EFFORTS FOR THE
COUNTY:
Beach Preservation Plan (BPP)
In 2015, APTIM developed an update to the County’s
BPP, first adopted in 1988. The BPP details the County’s
strategies for the management and the long‐term
sustainability of its coastline. The purpose of this update
was to reevaluate the condition of the County’s
coastline and identify cost effective alternatives to
maintain and improve its sustainability. To accomplish
this, the following goals were established: 1) avoid adverse impacts to environmental resources including
nearshore hardbottom, 2) assess the vulnerability of upland property up to a 30‐year storm event, 3)
quantify the damages due to shoreline retreat over the next 30 years, and 4) determine the recreational
value of the beaches. To address these goals, APTIM completed several tasks, including updating the beach
conditions by evaluating shoreline and volumetric change data and performing erosion and storm impact
analyses. We also held public meetings to explain the objectives of the update to the BPP and to solicit
public input into potential beach management strategies. Management strategies were developed and
analyzed to identify cost effective alternatives to maintain and improve the sustainability of the County’s
beaches. Additionally, APTIM identified potential funding sources and mechanisms to fund these strategies,
for the County’s consideration.
Post‐Hurricane Matthew FEMA Assistance
APTIM developed storm impact analysis reports for the efforts of securing FEMA Public Assistance
disaster relief funding for the Sector 3 project, as well as the 2.6 miles of Sector 5 and the 2.1 miles of
Sector 7. We continue to support the County with FEMA coordination, as needed.
Sector 5 Beach Restoration Design and Permitting
APTIM is currently performing design and permitting services for the proposed Sector 5 Beach
Restoration Project in the City of Vero Beach (R‐70 to R‐86). APTIM has developed a project feasibility
study and preliminary design for the ~200,000 cy project. We are currently coordinating with State and
Federal permit agencies in an effort to obtain environmental permits for the project.

Coquina Beach Nourishment Project
MANATEE COUNTY, FLORIDA
Program Description:
Since 1989, the staff of APTIM have been the coastal consultant to
Manatee County. We have produced and maintained a
comprehensive beach management plan for the County and have
continually provided engineering and biological services for the
County’s coastal program, including: project design, geotechnical
investigations, environmental studies, hardbottom monitoring,
State and Federal permitting, surveying services, physical
monitoring, and construction administration required to build the
County’s coastal projects. Our history with Manatee County is an
example of our dedication to providing a wealth of technical and
program management services that benefit our clients.
Coquina Beach is located at the south end of Anna Maria Island, a
7.5 mile long barrier island located immediately south of Tampa
Bay. The beach renourishment of Coquina Beach was constructed
by Manatee County in March 2014. The 2014 project included the
placement of a total of about 332,200 cubic yards of sand along
approximately 1.5 miles to repair damages from Tropical Storm
Debby and re‐fill the beach template to full capacity. The sand was
obtained from within the ebb tidal shoal complex of Passage Key
Inlet off of the northern end of Anna Maria Island.
The federally authorized Central Beach project area, located
immediately north of Coquina Beach, was nourished between
December 2013 and March 2014. Coquina Beach was not a part of
the Central Beach Renourishment Program and therefore does not
qualify for Federal funding. In order to renourish Coquina Beach,

APTIM worked to "piggy‐back" the Coquina Beach project
onto the Federal project, saving Manatee County millions
of dollars in mobilization/demobilization costs to nourish
Coquina Beach.
APTIM provided geotechnical services to identify the
sand source, the engineering services, State and FEMA
funding acquisition assistance, permitting services,
extensive environmental services, technical consultation
and construction oversight services to help restore this
portion of the island’s receding coastline.
APTIM also developed and acquired permits for a seven‐
mile‐long underwater pipeline corridor which allowed
the dredging contractor to use the same equipment to
deliver sand to both ends of the island. The use of an
underwater pipeline to place sand in Coquina Beach avoided pipeline placement on the beach over
almost the entire length of Anna Maria Island.
APTIM also designed and constructed an approximate 5‐acre mitigative artificial reef approximately 1,100
feet off the coast of Coquina Beach. APTIM staff worked aggressively on the County's behalf to limit the
amount of required artificial reef as replacement for burial of nearshore hardbottom by the beach
nourishment project, again saving Manatee County construction funds.
Other notable efforts for the county:
Federal Coordination and Funding in the City of Anna Maria Island
APTIM assisted Manatee County with proceeding under the authority of Section 206 as the non‐federal
sponsor of construct the federally authorized Central Beach nourishment project. Section 206 allowed
Manatee County to engineer and construct the project, control the design and schedule and reduce
engineering and construction costs. APTIM adapted the construction project to include a 0.6‐mile coastal
segment in the City of Anna Maria, which is not part of the Federal project.
Emergency Response
We have assisted Manatee County in securing funds and construction assistance for multiple storm repair
projects: 2005 and 2011 projects in response to hurricane activity in 2004 (H. Charlie/Ivan), 2014 project
in response to T.S. Debby, and currently working with the County to obtain FEMA funding associated with
the storm damages from Hurricane Hermine and Hurricane Irma.
Coastal Structure Removal & Replacement
APTIM assisted the County with the Cortez Groins Removal and Replacement project, which included the
demolition of three dilapidated pier‐type structures and replacement with new permeable adjustable
groins in order maintain the stabilization of the shoreline that fronts the island’s evacuation route. The
project was completed in 2016.

design and permitting to avoid impacts to the environment while
maintaining project intent and benefit. The following provides
summaries of current and previous projects we are implementing
or have completed for the City.
Storm Berm Nourishment Project
Since 2016, our team of coastal engineers has been involved with
the preliminary design and permitting of a storm berm
nourishment project for the City. The project included topographic
beach surveys along the entire City shoreline to support the
preliminary design, which included a varying design template to
restore the dune and beach berm. Sand samples were collected
and analyzed by our in‐house geologists. A Coastal Construction
Control Line permit was prepared and submitted to FDEP. The final
permit was recently issued and provides the City with a proactive
mechanism to nourish their shoreline before or after a storm.
Hurricane Irma Pier Repair
APTIM performed a structural engineering assessment of the
International Fishing Pier to evaluate damage sustained during
Hurricane Irma. The assessment included both above and
underwater data collection, which was used to provide
recommendations for repair design. We provided structural
engineering design for the repair of the structure. The project is
currently under construction and we are providing construction
administration services.
Artificial Reef Project
APTIM is currently engaged by the City to design and permit
the construction of a recreational artificial reef in the
nearshore of the City offshore of SE 2nd Street. The project is
based on the Artificial Reef Feasibility Study we completed in
2010. The project is partially funded with grants from Florida
Sea Grant. APTIM completed a materials assessment of the
existing boulder stockpile in Tivoli Park, completed a stability
analysis to optimize the design, and prepared permit
applications for Broward County, FDEP, and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. The project is currently in permitting
with construction expected in late 2018.

Vessel Exclusion Zone
APTIM is providing coastal engineering and permitting
services for a vessel exclusion zone. Services include
coordination with the FDEP and USACE to permit a
series of buoys along the City shoreline to create a safe
area for public swimming and snorkeling. The project is
ongoing, but will include sediment probes to
determine buoy foundation requirements, engineering
design, and preparation of plans and specifications.
Construction is expected to begin in late 2018.
FEMA Coordination Project
The effects of Hurricane Matthew passing off the coast
of Florida resulted in beach erosion along the City’s
shoreline. APTIM completed a post‐Hurricane Matthew
storm damage assessment using City provided
topographic beach profile data. Volume losses were
calculated and documentation was submitted to FEMA.
APTIM obtained a fully executed Project Worksheet
(PW) for future project reimbursement.
2008/2009 Dune Restoration Projects
APTIM designed, permitted, and oversaw construction
activities of two (2) beach nourishment projects in the
City. The 2008 and 2009 projects were constructed to
address erosion that occurred during the 2007 tropical
storm season. The projects both qualified for FEMA
funding for restoration and placed 5,100 and 7,300
cubic yards of upland sand, respectively, to restore the
eroded beach. The projects were permitted by the
FDEP under the CCCL program, which restricted the fill
placement to above the mean high water line.
Deerfield Canals Hydrographic Survey
APTIM conducted a hydrographic survey of
approximately 3.5 linear miles of 16 canals in the City of
Deerfield Beach in 2005. Approximately five
longitudinal transects were surveyed through each of
the 16 canals and depths were collected at
approximately 5‐foot intervals. The data was analyzed
and presented to the City, which allowed the City to
avoid maintenance dredging and significant capital
expenditure.
Post‐storm damage assessment
The 2008/2009 projects were truck‐haul nourishments
and utilized a conveyor system due to limited beach
access.
APTIM performed a boulder stockpile assessment in
Tivoli Park.

Lido Key Beach Nourishment Program
CITY OF SARASOTA, FLORIDA
Program Description:
Since 1989, APTIM has provided a full range of coastal engineering,
permitting, coastal modeling, beach and coastal structures design,
funding acquisition, geotechnical, environmental and surveying
services to the City of Sarasota resulting in the construction of five
beach renourishment projects (1998, 2001, 2003, 2009 and 2015)
on Lido Key, Florida. The City’s beach preservation program has
been highly successful in restoring and maintaining the popular
recreational beach of Lido Key and in providing storm protection to
the beach road (Ben Franklin Drive) and to upland buildings. The
project won the ASBPA National Best Restored Beach Award for
2009.
Post‐Disaster Projects
In 2009 and 2015, Lido Key Beach Renourishment Projects were
constructed as FEMA funded projects since they repaired storm
damages to a previously engineered (non‐federal) beach
nourishment project. APTIM prepared a storm loss analysis in
order for the City to obtain FEMA funding associated with the
storm damages to the beach. APTIM assisted the City in applying
for time extensions and minor modification to the existing FDEP
and USACE permits, which allowed the project to be constructed
with the existing permits. We also provided the City with oversight
and support during construction and assistance with the post‐
construction monitoring and reporting. An inlet management study
developed by our firm allowed for the use of New Pass ebb shoal
as the sediment source. APTIM conducted Delft3D numerical
modeling to determine the coastal effects of excavating sediment
from New Pass. APTIM is currently preparing a storm loss analysis
in order for the City to obtain FEMA funding associated with the
storm damages from Hurricane Hermine.
APTIM has also provided in‐kind services for the Corps’
effort to re‐establish Lido Key as a federal project and to
develop a federally‐authorized and funded shore
protection project. The proposed project includes fill
placement and coastal structures. We are currently
assisting the City with the permitting and coordination to
obtain the FDEP permit for the project. The project will
renourish Lido Key with Big Sarasota Pass as the proposed
borrow source, and places two groins at the south end of
the island.

As local sponsor for the project, the City has assisted the USACE by providing engineering, geotechnical,
benthic investigation and permit application services provided by APTIM including contributions to the
Feasibility Study, modeling study and project development. The City and the USACE have held public
meetings including the NEPA scoping meetings to initiate the NEPA process. Once Lido Key has been
restored using USACE funding, FEMA funding will not apply to future projects, however, the project will
now be eligible for federal funding for storm damage repair through the USACE FCCE funds.
