RFB-TDD 47-15 - Okaloosa County Artificial Reef Construction Project

Summary of Specifications:
The purpose of this RFB is to secure sealed bids for the construction of two large-scale artificial reefs in State waters offshore Okaloosa County, Florida. The construction will involve the loading and vehicle transport of approved concrete materials from land-based staging areas to a proposed waterside loading area, transferring the material to an appropriate offshore conveyance, offshore transport, and placement within designated permitted artificial reef areas in accordance with the contract documents. The approved materials used to construct the two reefs shall consist of re-purposed concrete targets of various sizes from Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) and surplus concrete materials (e.g. culverts) from Okaloosa County and Fort Walton Beach public works departments. 

This project is funded by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service – Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program, and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission – Division of Marine Fisheries Artificial Reef Grants Program, Grant No. FWC-13243.
