Authorize the City Manager to Issue a Purchase Order to Earth Tech Enterprises, Inc. for the 2024-2025 Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Spit Sand Restoration to Recover from Impacts of Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the Amount not to Exceed $248,255, using Collier County Contract #21-7885 - Justin Martin, P.E., Director, Public Works
Body
BACKGROUND: Sand restoration is needed to restore the Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Spit beach berm at the northwestern tip of Marco Island that was eroded by Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The Sand Dollar Spit is designed to take the impacts from tropical storm systems similar to the bumper of a car taking the impact of a minor crash. The sand berm is restored after a storm impact similar to replacing the bumper of a car that is in a minor accident. The Sand Dollar spit is a nature-based solution that protects this area of Marco Island from damaging catastrophic impacts.
The sand restoration will be performed between November 15, 2024 and February 15, 2025 to avoid shore bird and sea turtle nesting seasons.
The Hideaway Beach Tax District Board authorized an amount not to exceed $250,000 for this sand restoration.
Earth Tech Enterprises, Inc. is currently performing work for Collier County and will be contracted by piggy-backing on Collier County contract # 21-7885.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: All the necessary funds are available in the FY25 Tax District’s budget. Funding for this Purchase Order will be provided by the Hideaway Tax District’s "REPAIR & MAINTENANCE” G/L No. 150-5700-5371-524600.
