AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a Request For Bids for the construction and installation
of a culvert on Canal #472 on Geiger Key, the 3rd ranked canal project in the Canal Management Master Plan.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This project is not one of the County's specified demonstration canal projects, this is
a new canal restoration project to be funded by the Department of Environmental Protection. The Water Quality
Protection Program Canal Restoration Advisory Subcommittee recommended award of DEP Grant S-0273 in
the amount of $ 100,000 to Monroe County at its meeting held on July 15, 2014 for construction of the Geiger
Key culvert on Canal #472. This is a continuation of work that the County completed under DEP Grant S0679,
where the County's consultant prepared the final design plans and obtained permits for the installation of this
culvert.
The work under the new DEP Grant S0273 includes funding up to $78,291 for the installation of the culvert, and
funding of $21,709 for construction support services from AMEC. The design plans, technical specifications
and permits prepared under DEP Grant S0679 form the basis for the technical scope of work. The grant does not
require matching funds. Please note if the bids for the culvert installation come in higher than $78,291.00,
the County must fund the excess amount $78,291 is the Engineer's Estimate.

SCOPE OF WORK
1.1 The Scope of Work shall include, but not be limited to, all work shown and listed in the Project
Drawings and Project Manual. The Contractor is required to provide a complete job as
contemplated by the drawings and specifications, which are a part of this bid package. The Scope
of Work for the proposed project includes the installation of an elliptical culvert across Boca
Chica Road that will hydrologically connect Monroe County Canals # 472 and #470. The
proposed project will be located perpendicular to Boca Chica Road between Venus Lane and
Mars Lane, Section 27, Township 67 S, Range 26 E, Geiger Key Monroe County, Florida (RE:
00 147016-003500 and 00 14557 10-000000).
1.2 The submerged culvert will be placed at -3.5 NAVD88 and remain submerged at low tide. All
heavy equipment will be land based. The 24" X 38" reinforced elliptical concrete pipe will
extend 112 linear feet and connect canals #472 and #470. Both ends of the culvert will be fitted
with manatee gates constructed in accordance with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission guidelines. Vibratory hammers will not be utilized in the installation of the culvert
connecting Monroe County canals 470 and 472.
Silt fence and floating turbidity barriers will be installed prior to construction and maintained
throughout the project in accordance with performance standards for erosion and sediment control
and stormwater treatment set forth in section 62-40.432, Florida Administrative Code (FAC).
All construction activities will be performed in accordance with the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) standard manatee conditions for in -water work and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Fisheries construction conditions for sea
turtle and smalltooth sawfish. The designer will provide adequately educated spotters to ensure
that no marine life will be harmed by the proposed action.
Materials for the culvert will be brought onsite via existing roads, the contractor will install and
maintain a stabilized construction entrance within the proposed construction zone to avoid
environmental impacts. The contractor will also implement maintenance of traffic plan in
accordance with Monroe County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Any
clearing and grubbing will be limited to the areas required to access the site and operate the
equipment.
The submerged culvert and concrete seawall will be installed using open cut excavation
techniques utilizing trench boxes, back -hoe excavator, front end loader, and roll off containers.
The back -hoe will excavate the overburden material and stockpile in designated reuse or unusable
roll -off containers to minimize erosion and sediment control concerns. Following the
aforementioned excavation, trench boxes will be installed to ensure OSHA requirements are
being met for worker safety. The contractor will install the 24�'X 38" reinforced elliptical
concrete pipe and concrete seawall as described in the plans and technical specifications.
Designers have proposed the following alternatives for the installation of the elliptical culvert
crossing Boca Chica Road:
Alternative 1: Dewate7ing Method I
U //U 1/ 14 SCOPE OF WORK 00300-1
v Culvert Connection between Canal #470 and #472
o A steel cofferdam system will be lowered into the canal with the use of heavy machinery located
within the upland. The steel sheets will be pushed into the canal's subsurface using only the
weight of the equipment. This option does not require the use of a vibrating hammer. Soil
disturbance is expected to be minimal. The sequencing of construction activities is as follows:
Typical Construction Sequencing:
• Installation of BAVs
• Installation of the cofferdam
• Removal of seawall
• Excavation of road bed
0 Stabilize area
• Installation of culvert
• Repair seawall
• Install manatee grates
• Remove the cofferdam
0 Remove erosion and sediment control measure
Alternative 2: Dewatefing Method 2
In order to contain the dewatering effluent, contractors shall erect aportadam cofferdam. Unlike
a steel constructed cofferdam, a portadam cofferdam does not penetrate the subsurface, their
installation does not require the use of earthen materials to create the structure, and their
component parts can be easily removed upon project completion without disturbance to the canal
0 bottom.
The portadam cofferdam can be deployed in four to six hours with minimal disturbance to the
canal bed. The structure can be installed on land and lowered into the canal with the assistance of
heavy equipment to minimize environmental impacts. Once the portadam cofferdam is installed
in the canal, it will effectively stop the flow of water. Any water still within the cofferdam and
seepage during construction will be controlled with trash pumps. After the job is completed, the
cofferdam is removed and the water in it goes back into the canal. The soil is not disturbed.
Typical Construction Sequencing:
• Installation of BM[Ps
• Installation of the portadam cofferdam
• Removal of seawall
• Excavation of road bed
• Stabilize area
• Installation of culvert
• Repair seawall
• Install manatee grates
• Remove the cofferdam
• Remove erosion and sediment control measure
Alternative 3: Wet Method
After the installation of the pipe, backfill material shall carefully and uniformly be simultaneously
placed on both sides of the pipe or structure by carefully lowering the material into the trenches
down to the water surface and then releasing it to settle through the water. Under no
circumstances shall backfill material be dumped, pushed, or shoved into the wet trench. Backfill
07/01/14 SCOPE OF WORK 00300-2
L, Culvert Connection between Canal #470 and #472
material shall be carefully and uniformly rammed around both sides of the pipe to properly bed
and support the pipe. No specified density requirement shall apply to backfi carefully Ily placed in
fu
wet trenches until the fill has reached a level 1 -foot above the water, at which elevation the
remainder of the backfill shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 9-inches. The operation of heavy
equipment shall be conducted so that no heavy damage to the pipe will result. Backfill material
12-inches and above the top of the pipe shall be compacted to not less than 95 percent of
maximum density as determined by AASHTO Designation T 180. Selected material for backfill
shall not contain any stones or rock larger than 3-inches.
1.3 Provide all labor, supervision, materials, supplies, equipment, tools, construction equipment,
transportation, proper execution and completion of all Work as specified on the Drawings and
referenced Technical Specifications included in this Bid Package.

maximum addition of ten percent (10%). If the Contractor does not enter into the Work, the maximum mark-up for
managing this Work will be five percent (5%);
.3 if the Subcontractor performs part of the actual Work, his percentage mark-up for overhead and profit shall be a

9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner, through the Owners
Representative, a schedule of values allocated to various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and supported

Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other reason.
9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and
equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the

observations at the site and the data comprising the Application for Payment submitted by the Contractor, that the Work has
progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the Owners Representative's and Owner's knowledge, information
and belief, quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject to
an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of
subsequent tests and inspections, to minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion and to
specific qualifications expressed by the Owners Representative or Owner. The issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment
or a Project Certificate for Payment will further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the
amount certified. However, the issuance of a separate Certificate for Payment or a Project Certificate for Payment will not be
a representation that the Owners Representative or Owner has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on -site inspections to check
the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed the Contractor's construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested
by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and Owners Representative cannot agree on a revised amount, the
Owners Representative shall process the Application for the amount he deems appropriate. The Owners Representative may
also decline to approve any Application for Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent
inspections, he may nullify, in whole or part, any approval previously made to such extent as may be necessary in his opinion
because of. (1) defective Work not remedied; (2) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of
such claims; (3) failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials, or equipment;

Owners Representative, the Owner, or another contractor working at the project; (6) reasonable evidence that the Work will
not be completed within the contract time; (7) persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.

9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be made for amounts
previously withheld.
9.6 Progress Payments
9.6.1 After the Owners Representative and Owner have issued a Project Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall make
payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall so notify the Owners
Representative and Owner. From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a progress payment, ten percent (10 %)
of such total amount will be deducted and retained by the Owner until final payment is made. The balance ninety percent (90
%) of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be certified for payment.
.1 It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive progress payment based
on quantities of Work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by approved change orders, except
when such excess quantities have been determined by the Owners Representative to be a part of the final quantity
for the item of Work in question.
.2 No progress payment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or Work in place, as to quality or
quantity. All progress payments are subject to correction at the time of final payments.
9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount
paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is
entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion
of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make
payments to Sub -subcontractors in similar manner.
9.6.3 The Owners Representative will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding
percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action taken thereon by the Owner, Owners

shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.
9.6.7 All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the sole property of the Owner,
and by this provision shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for the materials and
Work upon which payments have been made or the restoration for any damaged material, or as a waiver to the right of the
Owner or Owners Representative to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the Contract.
9.6.8 Except in case of bona fide disputes, or where the Contractor has some other justifiable reason for delay, the
Contractor shall pay for all transportation and utility services not later than the end of the calendar month following that in

9.8 Substantial Completion
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is
sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its
intended use.
9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is
substantially complete, the Contractor and Owners Representative shall jointly prepare and submit to the Owner a
comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete and correct
items on the list. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon receipt of the list, the Owner, assisted by the Owners
Representative, will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially
complete. If the Owner's inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the list, which is not in accordance with
the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial
Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Owner. The Contractor shall then submit a request for
another inspection by the Owner, assisted by the Owners Representative, to determine Substantial Completion. When the
Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Owner will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion,
shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and
insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate.
Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of
Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities
assigned to them in such Certificate.

9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when such
portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the
insurer as required under Subparagraph 11.3.11 and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such
partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and
Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage if any, security,
maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for
correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor
considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor and Owners Representative shall jointly prepare and submit a list
to the Owner as provided under Subparagraph 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner
and Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by decision of the Owner after consultation with the Owners Representative.

inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work.

Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward to the Owners Representative a final Contractor's
Application for Payment. Upon receipt, the Owners Representative will forward the notice and Application to the Owner
who will promptly make such inspection. When the Owner, based on the recommendation of the Owners Representative,
finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, the Owners Representative and
Owner will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief,
and on the basis of their observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with terms and conditions
of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in said final Certificate is due
and payable. The Owners Representative's and Owner's final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further representation

that conditions listed in Subparagraph 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment have been
fulfilled.
9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits to the
Owner through the Owners Representative (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or encumbered
(less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required
by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payments currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to
expire until at least 30 days' prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the Contractor
knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract
Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment
or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances
arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner, if a Subcontractor refuses to
furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify
the Owner against such lien.
9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the
Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, and the Owners Representative and Owner so
confirm, the Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Owners Representative and Owner, and
without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed or corrected
is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bond have been furnished, the written consent of surety to
payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to
the Owner through the Construction Manger prior to certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms
and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner as provided in
Subparagraph 4.7.5.
9.10.4 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of
claims by that payee except those previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of final
Application for Payment.
9.11 Any requirement of this Article 9 that the Contractor furnish proof to the Owner, or Owners Representative that the
subcontractors and materialmen have been paid is for the protection and convenience of the Owner only. Unpaid
subcontractors and materialmen may only seek payment from the Contractor and the surety that provided the Contractor's

There will be times when it will be necessary, or in the best interest of the County, to deviate from the standard insurance
requirements specified within this manual. Recognizing this potential, and acting on the advice of the County Attorney,
the Board of County Commissioners has granted authorization to Risk Management to waive and modify various
insurance provisions.
Specifically excluded from this authorization is the right to waive:
• The County as being named as an Additional Insured —If a letter from the Insurance Company (not the
Agent) is presented, stating that they are unable or unwilling to name the County as an Additional Insured,
Risk Management has been granted the authority to waive this provision.
and
• The Indemnification and Hold Harmless provisions
Waiving of insurance provisions could expose the County to economic loss. For this reason, every attempt should be
made to obtain the standard insurance requirements. If a waiver or a modification is desired, a Request for Waiver of
Insurance Requirements form should be completed and routed to Risk Management for consideration and negotiation as
soon as possible.
The form will be returned, either approved or disapproved, to the County Attorney who will submit the Waiver with the
other contract documents for execution by the Clerk of the Courts.
Should Risk Management deny the Waiver Request, the other party may file an appeal with the County Administrator or
the Board of County Commissioners, who retains the final decision -making authority.

Canal #470 and #472, Geiger Key, Florida
2. Moisture Content: When the material does not have the proper moisture
content to insure the required density, wetting or drying will be required. If
the material is deficient in moisture, water shall be added and uniformly
mixed in by discing the base course to its full depth. If the material contains
an excess of moisture, such excess shall be reduced or removed until the
required moisture is attained before being compacted. Wetting or drying
operations shall involve manipulation of the entire width and depth of the
base as a unit.
3. Density Requirements: As soon as proper conditions of moisture are
attained, the material shall be compacted to a density of not less than that
currently existing on the compacted surface.
4. Density Tests:
a. During final compacting operations, if blading of any areas is
necessary to obtain the true grade and cross section, the compacting
operations for such areas shall be completed prior to making the
density determinations on the finished base.
b. At least one density determination shall be made at each location
where limerock is placed on each day°s final operations on each
course, & the density determinations shall be made at more frequent
intervals if deemed necessary by the Engineer.
5. Correction of Defects:
a. If at any time the unsuitable material should become mixed with the
base course material, the Contractor shall dig out and remove the
mixture, reshape and compact the subgrade and replace the
materials removed with clean base material, which shall be shaped
and compacted as specified above.
b. If cracks or checks appear in the base, either before or after priming,
which in the opinion of the Engineer would impair the structural
efficiency of the base course, the Contractor shall remove such
cracks or checks by rescarifying, reshaping, adding base material
where necessary and recompacting.
E. Testing Surface: The finished surface of the base course shall be sufficient so that
when the asphalt surface course is applied, no irregularities exist or appear after
traffic is placed on the final surface. All irregularities shall be corrected by scarifying
& removing or adding limerock as may be required, after which the entire area shall
be recompacted as specified herein before.
F. Thickness Determinations: The thickness of the compacted limerock base shall vary
to achieve the final elevations as shown on the plans.

G. Priming and Maintaining:
1. The prime coat shall be applied only when the base meets the specified
density requirements and the moisture content in the top half of the base
does not exceed 90 percent of the optimum moisture content of the base
material. At the time of priming, the base shall be firm and unyielding.
2. The Contractor will be responsible for assuring that the true crown and grade
are maintained with no rutting or other distortion and that the base meets all
the requirements at the time the surface course is applied.

PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 SECTION INCLUDES
A. Finish grading within contract limits, including adjacent transition areas to new
elevations, levels and contours indicated. Provide uniform levels and slopes
between new and existing grades.
2.1 MATERIALS
A. 100%Q of material shall pass through a No. 4 sieve, as per ASTM D 1140, with no
more than 1 % organic matter (by Weight), and evenly gradated to fine sand.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 GRADING
A. Grading shall include the areas necessary to establish new grades and such
additional areas as are disturbed by construction storage, vehicle use and other
construction operations including utility trenching, areas where excess fill is
deposited, or where cutting is required to provide additional backfill material.
B. New grades shown are designed to produce the required configuration of the site
and do not necessarily represent a balance between cut and fill.
1. Sand in excess of that required to produce the grades shown shall be
removed from the site.
2. Additional sand required to produce grades shown shall be provided from
legal off -site source.
C. Install grade stakes at not more than the 25' intervals both ways.
1. Grades not otherwise indicated shall be uniform levels or slopes between
points where elevations are given.
2. Adjust grades as necessary to provide positive drainage away from clay.
3. Finish grades shall not deviate from established elevations and true profile in
excess of 0.5".
D. The finished subgrade shall be brought to elevations indicated and sloped to drain
water away from the building, court, play, parking and clay areas. Fill areas where
settlement occurs to required elevations.
E. After grading, compact subgrade surfaces as specified.

3.2 EROSION CONTROL
A. Provide erosion control methods in accordance with requirements of authorities
having jurisdiction.
3.3 MAINTENANCE
A. Protect newly graded areas from traffic and erosion. Keep graded area free of trash
and debris.
B. Repair and reestablish grades in settled, eroded, and rutted areas to specified
tolerances.
C. Where compacted areas are disturbed by subsequent construction operations or
adverse weather, scarify surface, reshape, and compact to required density prior to
further consideration.
D. Where settling is measurable or observable at excavated areas during project
warranty period, remove surface (pavement, lawn, or other finish), add backfill
material, compact, and replace surface treatment. Restore appearance, quality, and
condition of surface or finish to match adjacent work, and eliminate evidence of
restoration to greatest extent possible.
3.4 DISPOSAL OF EXCESS AND WASTE MATERIALS
A. Remove waste materials, including unacceptable excavated material, trash, and
debris, and dispose of it properly off site.

concrete surface (except where they are to be covered with a bituminous wearing
course) such concrete surfaces shall be protected by heavy paper or other protective
material while the prime or tack coat is being applied. Any bituminous material shall
not be deposited when such air temperature is less than 50OF in the shade, or when
the weather conditions or the condition of the existing surface is unsuitable. In no
case shall bituminous material be applied while rain is falling or when there is water
on the surface to be covered.
3.3 APPLICATION OF PRIME COAT
A. After the base has been finished, the full width of surface shall be swept with a power
broom supplemented with hand coat. Care shall be taken to remove loose dust, dirt
and objectionable matter. If deemed necessary, the base shall be lightly sprinkled
with water immediately in advance of the prime coat.
B. The temperature of the prime material shall be such as to insure uniform distribution.
The material shall be applied with a pressure distributor as specified above. The
amount to be applied shall be sufficient to coat the surface thoroughly and uniformly
without any excess to form pools or to flow off the base. For limerock base, the rate
of application shall not be less than 0.10 gallons per square yard.
C. If the roadway is to be opened for use following the application of the prime material,
a light uniform application of clean sand shall be applied and rolled. The sand shall
be nonplastic, shall be free from silt and rock particles and shall not contain any
sticks, vegetation, grass, roots or organic matter. After the sand covering has been
applied, the surface may be opened to traffic.
3.4 APPLICATION OF TACK COAT
A. In general, a tack coat will not be used on primed bases or between leveling and
surface course except in areas which have become excessively dirty and cannot be
cleaned or where the prime has cured and lost all of its bonding effect, or as directed
by the County Engineer.
B. No tack coat shall be applied until the surface has been cleaned and is free from
sand, dust or other objectionable material.
C. The tack coat shall be applied with a pressure distributor as specified above. It shall
be heated to a suitable consistency and applied in a thin uniform layer at the rate of
between 0.02 gallons and 0.08 gallons per square yard.

the pipe barrel. Any over excavation shall be replaced with suitable
SECTION 02720A 66 AMEC
Technical Construction and Material specifications and
Guidelines for the Culvert Connection Between AMEC Project No.: 6783-13-2563
Canal #470 and #472, Geiger Key, Florida
compacted material. Excavation for inlets and other appurtenances shall be
sufficient to provide a clearance between their outer vertical surfaces and the
face of the excavation or sheeting, if used, of not less than 12-inches.
2. Soft, spongy, or otherwise unstable material encountered below the
established grade of the excavation which will not provide a firm foundation
for subsequent work shall be removed and replaced as directed. Unless
otherwise directed, all such unstable materials shall be removed for the full
width of the excavation and replaced with approved fill material.
3. Where sheeting and bracing are necessary to prevent caving of the trench
sidewalls or sidewalls of excavation for other structures, and to safeguard the
workmen, the trench or excavation for other structures shall be dug to such
width that the proper allowance is made for the space occupied by the
sheeting and bracing to provide clearance as specified above.
3.2 Installation
A. Laying Concrete Pipe:
1. All pipe shall be carefully laid true to the line and grade shown on the
Drawings. Any deviation from true alignment or grade which would result in a
displacement from the normal position of the gaskets much as 1/4-inch, or
which would produce a gap exceeding 1/2-inch between sections of the pipe
for more that 1/3 of the circumference of the inside of the pipe, will not be
acceptable and where such occurs, the pipe shall be relaid without additional
compensation. No mortar, joint compound, or other filler which would tend to
restrict the flexibility of the gasket joint shall be applied to the gap.
2. Before installation of the pipe gasket, the gasket and the surface of the pipe
joint, including the gasket recess shall be clean and free from grit, dirt, or
other foreign matter at the time the joints are made. In order to facilitate
closure of the joint, application of an approved vegetable soap lubricant
immediately prior to closing of the joint will be permitted.
3. All pipes shall be laid with bells or grooves uphill. As the pipes are laid
throughout the work, they must be thoroughly cleaned and protected from dirt
and water. No length of pipe shall be laid until the two preceding lengths
have been thoroughly embedded in place so as to prevent any movement or
disturbance of the finished joint. No walking on or working over the pipes
after they are laid, except as may be necessary in tamping earth and refilling,
will be permitted until they are covered to a depth of 1-foot. Fill placed
around the pipe shall be deposited on both sides simultaneously to
approximately the same elevation and uniformly compacted.
C. Dewatering for Pipe Culvert:
The Contractor is responsible for the design, installation, and operation of an
adequate dewatering system, if deemed necessary, Contractor shall follow all
permit requirements. Submit a dewatering plan to the Engineer for his
records before beginning construction.
SECTION 02720A 67
Technical Construction and Material Specifications and
Guidelines for the Culvert Connection Between AMEC Project No.: 6783-13-2563
Canal #470 and #472, Geiger Key, Florida
Use well points or wells where the piezometric water level is above an
elevation 3 feet below the bottom of the excavation. Maintain the water table
3 feet or more below the maximum depth of excavation. Provide continuous
dewatering until completing construction of the culvert and backfill the
excavation at least 3 feet above the piezometric water table elevation.
Continue dewatering until the Engineer considers conditions safe to
discontinue dewatering. In the event of a dewatering failure, assist the
Engineer as required in determining the effects of such a failure on the
foundation soils, and take whatever corrective measures are required at no
additional expense to the County. When the Engineer approves the
discontinuing of dewatering, decrease the rate of pumping, allowing the water
level to rise slowly. Use a rate, in feet per hour, that the water table is allowed
to rise equal to the total number of feet the water table was lowered, divided
by ten hours or a rate of 1 foot per hour, whichever is less.
D. Backfilling for Pipe Culvert:
1. After the pipe has been installed, approved selected material from excavation
at a moisture content which will facilitate compaction shall be placed along
side the pipe in layers not exceeding 6-inches loose measure in depth. Care
shall be taken to insure thorough compaction of the fill under the haunches of
the pipe. Each layer shall be thoroughly compacted by rolling or tamping
with mechanical rammers. This method of filling and compacting shall be
continued until the fill has a horizontal and vertical extent of12 inches around
the pipe, then the remainder of the backfill shall be placed in lifts not
exceeding 9-inches. The operation of heavy equipment shall be conducted
in a manner which will not place undue stress to the pipe will result. For
density requirements around the structure, obtain a minimum Quality Control
(QC) density in any lift of 100% of the Standard Proctor maximum density as
determined by AASHTO T99 for a distance of one pipe diameter but not less
than 3 feet from the outside face of the structure.
Selected material for backfill shall not contain any stones or rock larger than
3-inches. Tests for density of compaction shall be done as follows:
Test Name
Quality Control
Verification
Standard Proctor
One per soil type
One per soil type
Maximum Density
One per four consecutive LOTs

Technical Construction and Material Specifications and
Guidelines for the Culvert Connection Between AMEC Project No.: 6783-13-2563
Canal #470 and #472, Geiger Key, Florida
1. After the installation of the pipe and drainage structures, backfill material
shall carefully and uniformly be simultaneously placed on both sides of the
pipe or structure by carefully lowering the material into the trenches down to
the water surface and then releasing it to settle through the water. Under no
circumstances shall backfill material be dumped, pushed or shoved into the
wet trench. Backfill material shall be carefully and uniformly rammed around
both sides of the pipe to properly bed and support the pipe. No specified
density requirement shall apply to backfill carefully placed in wet trenches
until the fill has reached a level 1-foot above the water, at which elevation
and above the backfill densities specified in Paragraph 3.2D.

after depositing in forms. Maintain at least one spare vibrator available at the site of
each structure during concrete placement. Do not hold vibrators against the forms or
against the reinforcing steel.
D. The location, manner, and duration of the application of vibrators shall be such as to
secure maximum consolidation of the concrete without causing segregation of mortar
and coarse aggregate and without causing water or cement past to flush to the
surface. The thickness of the layers shall be not greater than can be satisfactorily
consolidated by vibrators. Vibrators shall vertically penetrate into the previous layer
at regular intervals.
E. Do not permit vibrators to remain in one area long enough to create a cavity. Plunge
vibrators into concrete rapidly so as not to spatter forms or create depressions in the

3.1 GENERAL
A. Equipment: All equipment necessary for the proper construction of the work shall be
on the project, and in first-class working condition.
B. Limits of Construction: The Contractor shall construct the base to the full width
shown on the Drawings.
A. Excavation: The area in which the widening is to take place and the limerock base is
to be placed shall be excavated to the depth and dimensions shown in the Drawings.
The underlying subgrade shall be compacted sufficiently to assure that no distortion
will occur with the placement of the limerock base.
B. Transporting Limerock: The limerock shall be transported to the point where it is to
be used, over rock previously placed if practicable, and dumped on the end of the
preceding spread. No hauling over the subgrade or dumping on the subgrade shall
be done.
C. Spreading Limerock:
1. The limerock shall be spread uniformly, and all segregated areas of fine or
coarse rock shall be removed and replaced with well -graded rock.
2. When the specified compacted thickness of the base is greater than
8-inches, the base shall be constructed in two courses. The thickness of the
first course shall be approximately one-half the total thickness of the finished
base, or enough additional to bear the weight of the construction equipment
without disturbing the subgrade.
D. Compacting and Finishing Base:
General:
a. For single course base, prior to spreading, the specific section
requiring base shall be scarified and then shaped so as to produce
the required grade and cross section after compaction.
b. For double course base, the first course shall be cleaned of foreign
material, bladed & brought to a surface cross section approximately
parallel to that of the finished base. Prior to the spreading of material
for the upper course, the density tests for the lower course shall be
made by the Cntractorand the County Engineer shall have
determined that the required compaction has been obtained. After
the spreading of material for the second course is completed, its
surface shall be finished & shaped so as to produce the required
grade & cross section after compaction and free of scabs &
0 laminations.

The proposed Project includes the installation of an elliptical culvert across Boca Chica Road that
will hydrologically connect Monroe County Canals # 472 and #470. The submerged culvert will be
placed at -3.5 NAVD88 and remain submerged at low tide. All heavy equipment will be land based.
The 24" X 38" reinforced elliptical concrete pipe will extend 112 linear feet and connect canals #472
and #470. Both ends of the culvert will be fitted with manatee grates constructed in accordance with
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission guidelines. Vibratory hammers will not be
utilized in the installation of the culvert connecting Monroe County canals 470 and 472.
Silt fence and floating turbidity barriers will be installed prior to construction and maintained
throughout the project in accordance with performance standards for erosion and sediment control
and stormwater treatment set forth in section 62-40.432, Florida Administrative Code (FAC).
All construction activities will be performed in accordance with the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) standard manatee conditions for in -water work and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Fisheries construction conditions for sea turtle and
smalltooth sawfish. The designer will provide adequately educated spotters to ensure that no
marine life will be harmed by the proposed action.
Materials for the culvert will be brought onsite via existing roads, the contractor will install and
maintain a stabilized construction entrance within the proposed construction zone to avoid
environmental impacts. The contractor will also implement maintenance of traffic plan in accordance
with Monroe County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FIDOT). Any clearing and
grubbing will be limited to the areas required to access the site and operate the equipment.
The submerged culvert and concrete seawall will be installed using open cut excavation techniques
utilizing trench boxes, back -hoe excavator, front end loader, and roll off containers. The back -hoe
will excavate the overburden material and stockpile in designated reuse or unusable roll -off
containers to minimize erosion and sediment control concerns. Following the aforementioned
excavation, trench boxes will be installed to ensure OSHA requirements are being met for worker
safety. The contractor will install the 24" X 38" reinforced elliptical concrete pipe and concrete
seawall as described in the plans and technical specifications.
Designers have proposed the following two options for the installation of the elliptical culvert crossing
Boca Chica Road:
� I �41Z= =- 117T17-70TA
In order to contain the clewatering effluent, contractors shall erect a partadam cofferdam
(Attachment A — Construction Plans). Unlike a sheet pile constructed cofferdam, a portaclam
cofferdam does not penetrate the subsurface, their installation does not require the use of earthen
materials to create the structure, and their component parts can be easily removed upon project
completion without disturbance to the canal bottom.
The portaclam cofferdam can be deployed in four to six hours with minimal disturbance to the canal
bed. The structure can be installed on land and lowered into the canal with the assistance of heavy
equipment to minimize environmental impacts. Once the portadam cofferdam is installed in the
canal, it will effectively stop the flow of water. Any water still within the cofferdam and seepage
during construction will be controlled with trash pumps. After the job is completed, the cofferdam is
removed and the water in it goes back into the canal. The soil is not disturbed.
IiPP. NO. 140407-10 EAHIBIT 2.1 Page I of ZJ
Typical Construction Sequencing:
1) Installation of BMPs
2) Installation of the portadam cofferdam
3) Removal of seawall
4) Excavation of road bed
5) Stabilize area
6) Installation of culvert
7) Repair seawall
8) Install manatee grates
9) Remove the cofferdam
10) Remove erosion and sediment control measure.
Sheet piling will be lowered into the canal with the use of heavy machinery located within the upland.
The steel sheets will be pushed into the canal's subsurface using only the weight of the equipment.
This option does not require the use of a vibrating hammer. Sail disturbance is expected to be
minimal. The sequencing of construction activities is as follows:
Typical Construction Sequencing:
1 ) Installation of BMPs
2) Installation of the cofferdam
3) Removal of seawall
4) Excavation of road bed
5) Stabilize area
6) Installation of culvert
7) Repair seawall
8) Install manatee grates
9) Remove the cofferdam
10) Remove erosion and sediment control measure.

After the installation of the pipe, backfill material shall carefully and uniformly be simultaneously
placed on both sides of the pipe or structure by carefully lowering the material into the trenches
down to the water surface and then releasing it to settle through the water. Under no circumstances
shall backfill material be dumped, pushed, or shoved into the wet trench. Backfill material shall be
carefully and uniformly rammed around both sides of the pipe to properly bed and support the pipe.
No specified density requirement shall apply to backfill carefully placed in wet trenches until the fill
has reached a level 1 -foot above the water, at which elevation the remainder of the backfill shall be
placed in lifts not exceeding 9-inches. The operation of heavy equipment shall be conducted so that
no heavy damage to the pipe will result. Backfill material 12-inches and above the top of the pipe
shall be compacted to not less than 95 percent of maximum density as determined by AASHTO
Designation T 180. Selected material for backfill shall not contain any stones or rock larger than 3-
inches.

0 15 30
Miles Exhibit No: 1
1 inch = 5 miles
0 2.5 5 10 Miles
Project Description
The purpose of this application is to obtain a dewatering Water Use Permit to allow the installation
of a culvert between canals #470 and #472 across Boca Chica Road on Geiger Key. Withdrawals
are from within a cofferclammed area of the canals and the water table aquifer via three pumps.
Effluent water will be discharged to a settling basin to reduce turbidity prior to discharging back to
the canals as shown in Exhibit 6. The maximum extent of dewatering will be a groundwater
elevation of approximately -4.6 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), which is
approximately 6 feet below the average land surface elevation of 1.5 feet NGVD. The anticipated
duration necessary to complete all dewatering activities is less than 20 days. The maximum daily
pumpage is estimated to be approximately 0.197 million gallons. Dewatering is limited to one year
from the actual start of dewatering activities (Limiting Condition 26).
Existing Legal Users
There are no existing legal users of the surficial aquifer within 5 miles of the Project. Therefore, the
potential for the proposed dewatering activities to cause harm to existing legal users is considered
minimal.
Contamination
The nearest known contamination site is over one mile away from the Project. Therefore, the
potential for the induced movement of contaminants from known sources of pollution to occur as a
result of the proposed dewatering activities is considered minimal.
Wetlands
There are no state jurisdictional wetlands located on -site or directly adjacent to the project site.
However, the project is located in state jurisdictional tidal surface waters hydrologically connected
to the Atlantic Ocean. The dewatering effluent from the short term dewatering of tidal
ground/surface waters will be discharged outside of the coffer dam but inside of turbidity barriers.
Based upon this information, the potential for harm to occur to wetlands and other surface waters
as a result of the proposed dewatering activities is considered minimal.
Saline Water/Salt Water
All dewatering effluent is expected to be saline. The project is located in state jurisdictional tidal
surface waters hydrologically connected to the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, discharge to the saline
water canal systems is authorized pursuant to Section 2.5.2(6) of the Basis of Review for Water
Use Permit Applications.
Stormwater
If exceptional storm conditions occur which exceed the storage capacity of the project's storm water
management system, the Permittee is required to cease dewatering operations until adequate
storage is available to contain all dewatering discharge.
Turbiditv Monitoring
Effluent water will be routed to a settling basin to reduce turbidity prior to discharging within the
turbidity curtains of the canals as shown in Exhibit 6. Turbidity shall be measured and recorded
daily when dewatering effluent is discharged to the canal system. The Contractor is required to
keep a record of all turbidity measurements on the project site. If turbidity levels in the dewatering
water exceed 29 NTU above background conditions in the receiving water body, the Permittee is
required to correct the situation and cease dewatering operations until monitoring demonstrates that
turbidity standards are met.

Construction Methodology
The proposed Project includes the installation of an elliptical culvert across Boca Chica Road that
will hydrologically connect Monroe County Canals # 472 and #470. The submerged culvert will be
placed at -5.5 NAVD88 and remain submerged at low tide. All heavy equipment will be land based.
The 24" X 38" reinforced elliptical concrete pipe will extend 112 linear feet and connect canals #472
and #470. Both ends of the culvert will be fitted with manatee grates constructed in accordance with
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission guidelines. Vibratory hammers will not be
utilized in the installation of the culvert connecting Monroe County canals 470 and 472.
Silt fence and floating turbidity barriers will be installed prior to construction and maintained
throughout the project in accordance with performance standards for erosion and sediment control
and stormwater treatment set forth in section 62-40.432, Florida Administrative Code (FAC).
All construction activities will be performed in accordance with the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) standard manatee conditions for in -water work and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Fisheries construction conditions for sea turtle and
smalltooth sawfish. The designer will provide adequately educated spotters to ensure that no
marine life will be harmed by the proposed action.
Materials for the culvert will be brought onsite via existing roads, the contractor will install and
maintain a stabilized construction entrance within the proposed construction zone to avoid
environmental impacts. The contractor will also implement maintenance of traffic plan in accordance
with Monroe County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Any clearing and
grubbing will be limited to the areas required to access the site and operate the equipment.
The submerged culvert and concrete seawall will be installed using open cut excavation techniques
utilizing trench boxes, back -hoe excavator, front end loader, and roll off containers. The back -hoe
will excavate the overburden material and stockpile in designated reuse or unusable roll -off
containers to minimize erosion and sediment control concerns. Following the aforementioned
excavation, trench boxes will be installed to ensure OSHA requirements are being met for worker
safety. The contractor will install the 24" X 38" reinforced elliptical concrete pipe and concrete
seawall as described in the plans and technical specifications.
Designers have proposed the following two options for the installation of the elliptical culvert crossing
Boca Chica Road:
Option 1: Dewatering Method 1
In order to contain the dewatering effluent, contractors shall erect a portadam cofferdam
(Attachment A —Construction Plans). Unlike a sheet pile constructed cofferdam, a portadam
cofferdam does not penetrate the subsurface, their installation does not require the use of earthen
materials to create the structure, and their component parts can be easily removed upon project
completion without disturbance to the canal bottom.
The portadam cofferdam can be deployed in four to six hours with minimal disturbance to the canal
bed. The structure can be installed on land and lowered into the canal with the assistance of heavy
equipment to minimize environmental impacts. Once the portadam cofferdam is installed in the
canal, it will effectively stop the flow of water. Any water still within the cofferdam and seepage
during construction will be controlled with trash pumps. After the job is completed, the cofferdam is
removed and the water in it goes back into the canal. The soil is not disturbed.
Typical Construction Sequencing:
1) Installation of BMPs
2) Installation of the portadam cofferdam
3) Removal of seawall
4) Excavation of road bed
5) Stabilize area
6) Installation of culvert
7) Repair seawall
8) Install manatee grates
9) Remove the cofferdam
10) Remove erosion and sediment control measure.
Option 2: Dewatering Method 2
Sheet piling will be lowered into the canal with the use of heavy machinery located within the upland.
The steel sheets will be pushed into the canal's subsurface using only the weight of the equipment.
This option does not require the use of a vibrating hammer. Soil disturbance is expected to be
minimal. The sequencing of construction activities is as follows:
Typical Construction Sequencing:
1 ) Installation of BMPs
2) Installation of the cofferdam
3) Removal of seawall
4) Excavation of road bed
5) Stabilize area
6) Installation of culvert
7) Repair seawall
8) Install manatee grates
9) Remove the cofferdam
10) Remove erosion and sediment control measure.
Option 3: Wet Method
After the installation of the pipe, backfill material shall carefully and uniformly be simultaneously
placed on both sides of the pipe or structure by carefully lowering the material into the trenches
down to the water surface and then releasing it to settle through the water. Under no circumstances
shall backfill material be dumped, pushed, or shoved into the wet trench. Backfill material shall be
carefully and uniformly rammed around both sides of the pipe to properly bed and support the pipe.
No specified density requirement shall apply to backfill carefully placed in wet trenches until the fill
has reached a level 1 -foot above the water, at which elevation the remainder of the backfill shall be
placed in lifts not exceeding 9-inches. The operation of heavy equipment shall be conducted so that
no heavy damage to the pipe will result. Backfill material 12-inches and above the top of the pipe
shall be compacted to not less than 95 percent of maximum density as determined by AASHTO
Designation T 180. Selected material for backfill shall not contain any stones or rock larger than 3-
inches.
