Project Name: | Okaloosa County Artificial Reef FWC Agreement No. 13243
Construction 2014-15
DESCRIPTION OF GOODS / SERVICES PROCURED, OR PROJECT WORKPLAN
A. DESCRIPTION OF GOODS / SERVICES
The objective of this activity is to construct a complex of marine artificial reefs in permitted
artificial reef areas in state waters of Okaloosa County, Florida. The process will involve the
identification of artificial reef materials acceptable to the selected contractor, GRANTEE,
and the COMMISSION. The loading, vehicle transport from land based staging areas to a
vessel for offshore transport and the placement within the designated permitted artificial reef
areas of the maximum tonnage of donated clean concrete culverts, concrete or concrete and
steel military target materials that can be moved and deployed will be based upon the
competitive bidding process using funds not to exceed $140,000 provided by the
COMMISSION with a cash match not to exceed $100,000 provided by the GRANTEE.
Each of the patch reefs will consist of artificial reef materials placed as a single contiguous
patch reef pile at the center points of two currently permitted reef areas, Fish Havens (FH) 13
and 14. The size of the individual patch reefs deployed in each of the two 40 acre permitted
Fish Haven areas utilized will depend on the lowest, qualified bid. Individual materials within
each patch reef will be composed of pre-cast concrete culverts and/or pre-cast concrete and
concrete and steel military target materials. For each vessel deployment trip, approximately
80% of the individual concrete units loaded on the deployment vessel for utilization in the
patch reef construction must weigh in excess of 1,000 pounds and no more than 20% of the
reef materials at the time of placement on the vessel for deployment will consist of broken
concrete rubble pieces or concrete units weighing between 500 and 1,000 pounds. The
GRANTEE and selected contractor will identify, for COMMISSION review, acceptable
materials that have the greatest potential for remaining substantially intact throughout the
loading, transport and deployment process. GRANTEE selected materials will be approved
by the COMMISSION’s Contract Manager during a final onsite staging area inspection prior
to any pre-bid meetings and subsequent materials transfer from the County solid waste site
location and the Eglin Air Force Base target range staging areas. The foot print and maximum
vertical relief of each patch reef will depend on the quantity of materials available to be
funded through the bidding process reviewed by the COMMISSION. Acceptable patch reefs
may either be tightly stacked and piled to achieve a vertical relief of 10 — 15 feet with a foot
print of approximately 50 feet in diameter or may be a lower profile more linear reef covering
a rectangular area of approximately 40 feet by 100 feet with an average vertical relief of not
less than four feet. The permitted artificial reef areas with permits active through the end of
the Agreement period and targeted for material deployment include Fish Havens 13 and 14.
FH 13 and 14 are located in state waters of the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 2.5 and 5.8
nautical miles west south-west of East Pass, respectively.
The artificial reef construction activity to be funded consists of the following elements:
MATERIALS
1. Artificial reef materials shall consist of concrete culverts, and used and unused concrete
or concrete and steel military pre-cast target materials secured from staging areas on
Eglin Air Force Base and acceptable to the COMMISSION following a final on site
materials inspection by the COMMISSION’s Contract Manager. At least 80% by
number of individual artificial reef military target units or culverts shall be sufficiently
intact to withstand movement and handling without breaking up and must weigh at least

1,000 pounds each. No more than 20% of the remaining pieces or units by number once
loaded on the deployment vessel shall consist of smaller concrete units or concrete rubble
with each rubble piece or unit weighing at least 500-1,000 pounds prior to deployment.
All materials shall be clean and free from asphalt, creosote, petroleum, or other
hydrocarbons and toxic residues, loose free floating material or other deleterious
substances. No topsoil or organic material such as vegetation shall be included in material
deployments. If pre-cast concrete reinforced with steel rebar is utilized, no exposed rebar
shall extend more than six inches beyond the concrete surface.
The GRANTEE agrees to allow the COMMISSION to conduct on-site inspections of
the artificial reef materials before, during, and after the deployment. The GRANTEE
shall meet with the COMMISSION’s Contract Manager to conduct an initial joint
review of proposed stockpiled pre-cast concrete materials located on Okaloosa County
property and on one or more Eglin Air Force Base test firing ranges. Following this initial
staging area inspection and follow up discussion, the GRANTEE will provide to the
COMMISSION’s Contract Manager an updated inventory of staging area materials
recommended for artificial reef utilization. The GRANTEE and the COMMISSION’s
Contract Manager, utilizing the GRANTEE’s updated materials inventory lists and
representative photos, shall jointly conduct a final on site review of available used pre-
cast target material and concrete culverts. The GRANTEE and COMMISSION shall
jointly evaluate the structural integrity of each concrete unit proposed for use, and shall
eliminate from artificial reef material consideration all badly damaged material that
would be prone to break apart into pieces less than 500 pounds in weight during the
handling and transport process. Units with extensive exposed rebar will either be
eliminated from consideration or the rebar will be cut back by the selected contractor to
within six inches or less of the units’ concrete surface prior to transport. Only materials
jointly approved by the COMMISSION and GRANTEE will be authorized for
deployment. The GRANTEE shall mark at the staging areas the materials selected for
use by the GRANTEE and COMMISSION’s Contract Manager to assist the selected
contractor in identifying which materials are to be moved from the County and Air Force
base staging areas to the dockside staging location and vessel loading site.
LOADING AND TRANSPORTATION
Artificial reef materials will be loaded using a suitable means of conveyance for
transportation from the Okaloosa County solid waste staging area and Eglin Air Force
Base target range staging areas to a dockside staging site and loading onto a barge or
other suitable vessel for offshore transportation to the designated artificial reef sites.
Offshore transportation shall be provided by a sufficiently powered transport or towing
vessel, personnel, and all necessary equipment to transport the material offshore and
deploy it. Reef material loaded on to the transporting vessel must be properly secured in
compliance with Coast Guard standards to allow for its safe transport to the reef
construction site.
The GRANTEE's Project Manager shall complete the FWC Artificial Reef Cargo
Manifest form to be maintained onboard the contractor’s vessel at all times during
transport of materials, pursuant to Chapter 379.249, Florida Statutes. The Cargo Manifest
shall be current and include a one paragraph description of the concrete material to be
