LETTER TO COUNCIL
NO. 180-2017
To: Mayor Gabriel Groisman and Members of the Village Council
From: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Manager
Date: November 3, 2017 G
Subject: Scheduled Army Corps of Engineers Beach Sand Placement Project -
November 2017 to January 2018
The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to transmit to you additional information
obtained after the October 24, 2017 Village Council meeting when this issue was
discussed. As previously stated, the Village received a letter dated August 28, 2017 that
was forwarded from the office of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The letter
received from Mr. James C. Dalton P.E., Director of Civil Works, the United States
Department of the Army, U.S. Corps of Engineers, provided information related to a
planned maintenance -dredging project in the area of the Baker's Haulover inlet. The letter
is attached for your reference (See Attached).
A summary of the project details contained within the letter is provided below:
• In March of 2017, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) performed emergency
dredging of the Baker's Haulover reach of the Intracoastal Waterway (IWW),
removing approximately 8,100 cubic yards of material from the IWW with
placement of that material in the nearshore along Bal Harbour Beach; This event
cleared an emergency shoal in the federal navigation channel.
• On July 21, 2017, the Corps issued a solicitation for a contract for a larger
maintenance -dredging event at Baker's Haulover, reach of the IVVVV with beach
placement of the dredged material. Construction is scheduled to start in December
2017. The material dredged from the Baker's Haulover reach of the IWW is beach
quality material and compatible for the beaches in Miami -Dade County. The Corps
anticipates that approximately 35,000 to 40,000 cubic yards of beach quality
material will be dredged with placement along Bal Harbour Beach starting 1,000
feet south of the Haulover Inlet at State Florida R -monument R-28 and running 1,000
feet south to R-29.

On November 1, 2017, Parks and Public Spaces Director John Oldenburg attended a
preconstruction meeting for this project with representatives of the U.S. Corps of
Engineers, Miami Dade County, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the
project contractor, Cavache, Inc. and their sub -contractors. During the meeting, we
received a presentation detailing the project, which is attached for your review (See
Attached).
As in previous sand placement dredging projects, performed along Bal Harbour Beach, a
eighteen inch (18") pipe line will be placed from the water dredging equipment across the
jetty and running south along the eastern edge of the dune. Sand will be deposited and
spread starting approximately one thousand feet (1000) from the jetty for approximately
one thousand two hundred feet (1200) to the south. The jetty and adjacent dune
crossovers will remain open to the public. However, during the sand deposit and
placement activities, sections of the beach will be closed to the public using security
fencing.
The tentative dates subject to required contractual submittals for this project are as follows:
• Beginning of mobilization at beach location: As early as November 13, 2017.
• Beginning of dredge mobilization: As early as November 10, 2017.
• Beginning of dredging operations: As early as November 18, 2017.
• Estimated completion date: January 25, 2018.
Due to the aforementioned time constraints, the project will be in operation seven (7) days
a week, twenty-four (24) hours per day. Additionally, during the meeting it was made clear
that it was not possible to delay the project until after the holiday season due to budget
and other contractual time constraints.
The Bal Harbour Police Department will coordinate the safety aspects of the project with
the contractor performing the work. I have requested that a representative of the Army
Corps of Engineers attend the November 21, 2017 Village Council meeting to provide
additional details and answer questions. I am currently awaiting their confirmation and I
will provide additional information as I receive it.
If you have, any questions please feel free to contact me directly.

Dear Representative Wasserman Schultz:
This is in response to your inquiry dated June 21, 2017, which forwarded
correspondence from your constituent, Ms. Karen Dubrofsky, concerning the beach
erosion on the shores in the Village of Bal Harbour, located in Miami -Dade County,
Florida. Ms. Dubrofsky expressed concern about the potential for damage to the sea
oats and other vegetation if immediate action was not taken to address the erosion.
In March of 2017, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) performed emergency
dredging of the Baker's Haulover reach of the Intracoastal Waterway (IWW), removing
approximately 8,100 cubic yards of material from the IWW with placement of that
material in the nearshore along Bal Harbour Beach. This event cleared an emergency
shoal in the federal navigation channel.
On July 21, 2017, the Corps issued a solicitation for a contract for a larger
maintenance dredging event at Baker's Haulover reach of the IWW with beach
placement of the dredged material. Construction is scheduled to start in December
2017. The material dredged from the Baker's Haulover reach of the IWW is beach
quality material and compatible for the beaches in Miami -Dade County. The Corps
anticipates that approximately 35,000 to 40,000 cubic yards of beach quality material
will be dredged with placement along Bal Harbour Beach starting 1,000 feet south of the
Haulover Inlet at State Florida R -monument R-28 and running 1,000 feet south to R-29.
Thank you for your interest in the Corps Civil Works program. I hope this response
has adequately addressed your concerns and questions related to this matter. If you
have additional questions, please contact me or your staff may contact Ms. Stacey
Brown, Deputy Chief, South Atlantic Division Regional Integration Team, at
(202) 761-4106.
Sincerely,
J. es C. Dalton, P.E.
Director of Civil Works
Proposed Work Plan
This project requires the dredging of approximately 38,000 cubic yards (CY) of beach compatible
fill from the IWW Channel in the Vicinity of Bakers Haulover Inlet, Cuts DA -9 to 10 feet required
Depth with a 2 feet allowable over depth. Dredge spoil shall be pumped just south of the inlet onto
Bal Harbor Beach. The Beach fill distance is approximately 1000 of embankment. The intent is to
fill the beach from the north to the south.
The IWW DA -9 cut station 23+00 to Station 55+00 is located just west of the Baker Haulover
Inlet. It covers an area of approximately 3,200 linear foot of IWW by a 125 foot deep cut bottom.
Dredging is to a depth of -10 feet MLLW (project depth of -10 feet and -2 foot allowable over
dredge).
The Intracoastal Waterway DA -9 cut is in the Vicinity of Bakers Haulover Inlet. Maintenance
Dredging is located just west of the A 1A Bal Harbour Causeway Bridge. Dredging is to a depth of
-10 feet MLW with an allowable 2 foot over dredge.
Cavache shall use a barge for water side staging and will keep a small cargo trailer on the beach fill
area for storing project materials. This small cargo trailer will be moved along with dredge discharge
operations and during the night shifts when not required shall be moved off site.

Introduction: Construction Project Signs
EP 310-1-6a
01 Jun 06
The use of signs to identify Corps
managed or supervised design, construc-
tion, and rehabilitation projects - both for
military and civil works - is an important
part of efforts to keep the public informed
of Corps work. For this purpose, a
construction project sign package has
been adopted. This package consists of
two signs: one for project identification
and the other to show on-the-job safety
performance of the contractor.
These two signs are to be displayed side
by side and mounted for reading by
passing viewers. Exact placement
location will be designated by the
contracting officer's representative.
The panel sizes and graphic formats have
been standardized for visual consistency
throughout all Corps operations.
Panels are fabricated using HDO plywood
or aluminum with dimensional lumber
uprights and bracing. The sign faces are
nonreflective vinyl.
All legends are to be die -cut or computer -
cut in the sizes and typefaces specified
and applied to the white panel back-
ground following the graphic formats
shown on pages 16-2 and 16-3. The
Communication Red panel on the left
side of the construction project sign with
Corps Signature (reverse version) is
screen -printed onto the white back-
ground.
A display of these two signs is shown on
the following two pages. Mounting and
fabrication details are provided on page
16-4.
Special applications or situations not
covered in these guidelines should be
referred to the district Sign Program
Manager.
