Y -- This segment of the Dade County Beach Erosion Control Project is being modified to have a widened beach berm and an offshore breakwater. The area to be nourished is located at Sunny Isles and Golden Beach DNR-6 to DNR-19 (1,000,000 cubic yards). It will have a 120-foot berm width from the Erosion Control Line (ECL) at EL 9 MLW with a foreshore slope of 1 vertical on 20 horizontal. The borrow area for this project is located offshore some 15,000 feet southeast of Government Cut. 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" in 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. Work also includes the construction of two 375-foot offshore breakwaters, 250 feet apart, at the north end of Sunny Isles. The breakwater will lie approximately 500 feet from the seawall in 8 to 11 feet of water based on a meanlow water datum. The breakwater will be a segmented rubble mound structure using 3.5- to 6.5-ton 12-inch marine mattress and filter fabric. The beach at Sunny Isles will be used for deployment. Protection of the environment, especially the existing reef system, is of paramount importance. The Contractor's operations will have to be carried out in accordance with permit requirements. It is anticipated that this project may be contructed during the turtle-nesting season and precautions will have to be taken. Only Coast Guard certified vessels will be allowed to work on this project. This contract will be awarded on a "best value" basis.
