Cox (904) 232-1215 (Site Code DACW17) This project is the second contract of the second periodic nourishment for the Dade County Shore Protection Project. The areas to be nourished are located at Surfside from monuments DNR 31 to DNR 36 (approximately 660,000 cubic yards) and South Miami Beach from the north jetty at Government Cut for 1,500 feet (approximately 145,000 cubic yards).

The South Miami Beach segment will have a 180-foot berm width at E1. 14 MLW with a foreshore slope of 1 vertical on 15 horizontal. The borrow area for this project is located offshore some 15,000 feet southeast of the South Miami Beach segment. Rocks are present in the borrow area and separation will be necessary. A rock disposal area is provided for disposing of rocks in excess of 1" diameter. The rock disposal site is located directly offshore from Miami Beach about 8,500 feet. Rocks will not be separated from the sand on the beach. This contract includes the construction of an offshore artificial reef two miles off the Haulover Beach Park shoreline. The new reef will lie between two existing reefs. The artificial reef will be constructed using 176 concrete modules and approximately 5,000 tons of limerock boulders. The concrete modules must be fabricated according to the contract drawings. The limerock boulders will be rounded in form with the least dimension being 36 inches and the greatest dimension being 72 inches.
