Background/Explanation:
Four bids were received, with award recommendation to Petrotech Southeast, Inc. as the lowest responsive responsible bidder in the amount of $ 198,710.00.
This project is part of a larger living shoreline effort at Philippe Park to increase resiliency and wildlife habitat in the area and provide a highly visible location for County residents to learn about the benefits of living shorelines. The Philippe Park Living Shoreline site is located along the southern shoreline of the park along Safety Harbor in Old Tampa Bay. Multiple applications were designed for this area, including oyster beds, oyster bag arrays, and offshore wave attenuating breakwaters. All design options were based upon the results of a coastal conditions analysis that utilized modeling data, site specific survey information, and coastal design calculations to size the material to withstand the wave energy this site has experienced over the past 100 years. The wave attenuation barriers installed through this project will provide additional protection for the shoreline, reduce erosion, and create additional habitat for oysters and other wildlife.
