body
Background:
The Pollywog Creek Stabilization Project will address the bank stabilization of Pollywog Creek in Hendry County which suffered severe erosion caused by Hurricane Irma. The project aims to increase resilience by reducing sediment runoff, enhancing water quality and preventing further erosion into the Caloosahatchee River by implementing bioengineering techniques and structural supports, such as riprap and vegetative plantings, to secure the soil along both sides of the most severely eroded portion of the creek banks. This is Phase 1 of this project, the design of the creek stabilization with cost estimates and preparation of the permit applications, which includes the following tasks:
Task 1 Project Management $15,510
Task 2 Survey $25,000
Task 3 Preparation of Environmental Resource Permit $17,510
Task 4 Federal section 404/10 Dredge and Fill Permitting $9,300
Task 5 Construction Plans $83,140
Task 6 Geotechnical $19,000
Task 7 Hydrologic and Hydraulic Study Report $30,540
The Coastal & Heartland National Estuary Partnership (CHNEP) has reviewed the Scope of Work and associated fees and has recommended award to DRMP, Inc. of Fort Myers, Florida in the amount of $200,000.
