SCOPE
The peninsula-shaped park contains a degraded seawall along a narrow strip of land used for recreational activities such as fishing and watching sunsets. The proposed project will involve the transformation of the hardened shoreline into a living shoreline (LSL) using green and gray design techniques. Specifically, activities will include the removal of 426 lin. ft. of existing seawall, twenty-five (25) 5x5-inch concrete posts, twenty-five (21) concrete-filled, in-water PVC bollards, and approximately 24-lin. ft. of reinforced concrete pipe. On the eastern side of the peninsula, approximately 1,026 ft2 of riprap will be installed at a 4:1 slope, while the western side will include 2952 ft 2 of riprap and deployment of 43-in-water, reef balls installed at 5-foot intervals. A 174- lin. ft., 5-foot-wide permeable paver walkway will be constructed in the uplands. Adjacent to the walkway, a 198- lin. ft., 4-foot-wide bioswale will be constructed within the uplands, passing under the walkway at one point eventually terminating at the Manatee River shoreline. Approximately 388 yd2 of native vegetation will be planted along the shoreline in both uplands and along the tidal slopes. Finally, two staggered rows of in-water, reef balls, containing a total of 26 units, will be placed to the north of the living shoreline. https://public.mymanatee.org/rfp_post/controller;jsessionid=06E6CE56941B0B7B23AF8FD9AA13B3CE?rfp_id=26-R089352DJ&action=details&view=home
