Description: Design, manufacture and install an artificial pre-cast concrete modular marine reef to develop a habitat to sustain a coastal marine ecosystem in the area of Deadmans Island near Gulf Breeze, Florida. This is a notice of sole source intent by the Mo bile District Corps of Engineers. See Note 22. Mobile District intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Artificial Reefs Inc., Gulf Breeze, FL, (850) 934-7201. Artificial Reefs product is patented and has been installed-tested in other locations and is approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. This is the only known product that can meet all of the following requirements. The artificial reef must be environmentally sensitive with similar characteristics of a natural barrie r reef, that would attract a full array of local marine species and promote marine growth on all surfaces of the reef, provide engineered openings to promote designed flow of micronutrient rich water across all surfaces and increase light access to promote the rapid growth of marine life. The design of the reef system must provide substantial cover and spawning habitat, contain the geometric and physical material properties similar to a breakwater in order to withstand wave heights and currents associated with a local 20-year storm events, as well as provide a structurally useful minimum 25 year life. The referenced reef must abate erosion of Deadmans Island, and allow the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to plant aquatic vegetation along the shoreline to imp rove both the aquatic and terrestrial habitat on the project area. The barrier reef system shall be composed of pre-cast concrete units configured and sized to protect the shoreline of Deadmans Island near Gulf Breeze, FL from erosion processes resulting from average wind and wave conditions. The project site encompasses an area of approximately 134,000 feet, with slopes from the shoreline to about minus 3 feet or minus 4 feet. The bottom sediment is composed of sandy material. The crest elevation of the breakwater shall be one (1) foot above Mean High Water. Permitting requirements of Florida Department of Environmental Protection precludes the dredging of channels in the project area. The contractor must provide a method of analysis to determine effec tiveness of the proposed breakwater design as well as a work plan to include drawings, specifications, and supporting technical documents for the fabrication and placement of 1,240 foot-long barrier reef/breakwater approximately 150 feet off the shoreline of Deadmans Island, Florida. Deadmans Island is near the City of Gulf Breeze, near the mouth of Pensacola Bay about 16 miles from the Alabama-Florida state line. Installation of the artificial reef/breakwater requires obtaining permits, namely Coastal Zo ne Certification and Water Quality Certification from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The contractor shall also coordinate with U.S. Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regarding their requirements for project navigation aids and warning signs, respectively. The design documentation must include: 1) drawings must be in a CADD format depicting topographic and hydrographic survey data including the required alignment of the artificial reef/breakwater; 2) method of analysis to determine effectiveness of reef/breakwater design/technical documents; 3) Technical specifications in Microsoft Word format; 4) manufacture and installation cost with schedules. The solicitation has two line items. The line item on e covers Phase I, the design phase and line item two is optional for the manufacture and installation of the artificial reef that if exercised would be a delay of 180 days between design approval process and contract modification to proceed to the manufact uring cycle. The design, manufacture and installation must be completed by August 01, 2004. All responsible sources may submit an offer that will be considere d.
