Description of the Project
The Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers is contemplating a base project to nourish approximately 1.6 miles of shoreline on Lido Key using beach compatible material. Placement area will occur between FDEP R-monuments R-34.5 and R-44. The fill template design includes a berm crest elevation of +4.0 feet North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88). Initial construction will consist of dredging approximately 1.2 million cubic yards from Big Sarasota Pass, primary offshore sand source, with the maximum dredge cut depth of -13.5' NAVD88. Project work also includes the construction of 2 groins at the south end of the project between R-42 and R-44. The groin construction will consist of 2-ton armor stones, placed on 12-inch-thick foundation mats, lying on geotextile fabric. The northern groin will be 170 feet in length and the southern groin will be 345 feet in length with a crest elevation set at +4.0 feet NAVD88. Other work includes, but is not limited to, beach tilling, construction/vibration control and monitoring, turbidity monitoring, environmental species monitoring, beach fill remediation and incidental related work.
Project location
Lido Key is located on the west coast of Florida within the City of Sarasota in Sarasota County and is approximately 45 miles south of Tampa and 20 miles southeast of the mouth of Tampa Bay. Longboat Key lies to the north of Lido Key across New Pass. Siesta Key is located to the south across Big Sarasota Pass. Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway separate Lido Key from the mainland. Access to the island is via the Ringling Causeway.
The Estimated Magnitude of construction is between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000.
The estimated period of performance is 275 calendar days after Notice to Proceed.
