Y -- NORTH JETTY SAND TIGHTENING WITH GEOTEXTILE TUBES, CANAVERAL HARBOR SOL DACW17-97-R-0019 DUE 081997 POC Contract Specialist Deidra W. Cox (904) 232-1215 (Site Code DACW17) Project work is to sand tighten the north jetty at Port Canaveral Entrance. The proposed work consists installation of two 300-foot long 70- inch diameter sand-filled geotextile tubes constructed parallel to the existing north jetty and approximately 25 feet north thereof. The tubes will overlap by 30 feet, resulting in a total sand-tightened length of 570 feet extending to the approximate seaward end of the existing rock jetty. Three 50-ft long, 40-inch diameter tubes will be constructed adjacent to the 70-inch tubes to augment stability and project longevity. These tubes will be placed, one at the over-lap point and the other two at the seaward end on both sides of the larger tubes. In addition, to further augment stability and longevity, eight 20-ft, 40-inch tubes will be placed on the south side of the 70-inch tubes at 50 foot intervals. The tubes will be constructed upon a 30-ft wide geotextile fabric with integral 18-inch diameter sand-filled "toe-tubes". The approximate 700 cubic yards of sand utilized to fill the tubes will be excavated from the beach adjacent to the north jetty, or will be trucked to the site from an approved upland source containing beach compatible material. This procurement is being placed on a competitive negotiation basis. A higher price, technically more qualified offer/proposal may be determined to the best value over technically less qualified, lower priced offers.
