Task Order #2022AE-91
For the Removal of Derelict Vessel/s and/or Marine Debris
Date: May 9, 2022
Adventure Environmental, Inc. is hereby authorized to proceed with the removal and disposal of the 16-foot
migrant vessel oceanside of MM 95 (FWC22ON0003033).
The County agrees to pay the proposed cost of $5,600.00 upon completion of the work and receipt of an invoice,
complete disposal receipt, and photographs.
The completion of the work shall be in accordance with the following schedule:
X Routine Removal- vessel should be disposed of by May 23, 2022
Environmental Emergency
Hazard to Navigation
Imminent Threat to Public Safety
General Requirements: Contractor shall provide notification to the investigating officer at least 24-48 hours
prior to the start of removal activities. Any anchors/mooring devices, or other appurtenances associated with the
vessel, shall also be removed. The awarded contractor shall dispose of vessels and marine debris at any of three
Monroe County Solid Waste transfer stations or other certified waste management facility. County transfer
stations require engines to be separated from the vessel. The vessel can contain no fuel or fuel tanks. All fluids
should be drained from the engine, which will be visually inspected by the transfer station for acceptance. Engines,
batteries, fuel, and fuel tanks (or other hazardous materials) shall be properly disposed of (transfer stations have
separate facilities/containers for engines, fuel, etc.). Any recyclable materials may be taken to a recycling center
or licensed scrap yard. If asbestos is present, further coordination with DEP and the Marine Resources office will
be required prior to removal. Please note that any vessels or debris that requires ‘processing’ (e.g.
crushing/compacting that is not contained) may require coordination with DEP. Work shall comply with all
County, State and Federal regulations. The Contractor shall contact the Marine Resources Office immediately if
circumstances arise in which the work cannot be completed according to the above indicated schedule, in which
case other arrangements may be necessary. It is understood that weather may delay removal efforts; however, the
Contractor's work load or logistical issues will not be considered 'good reason' for delays. All documents required
for payment (including invoices, photographs showing removal/disposal and complete disposal/recycling tickets)
shall be submitted electronically to the Marine Resources Office. The photographs shall document the condition
of the vessel prior to removal, the removal process, and the final disposition of the vessel.
