Flagler County Beach Nourishment Project - Reach II FPN 429573-1-38-01

Flagler County is seeking bids for the Flagler County Beach Nourishment Project - Reach II to restore the dune and beach along 5.5 miles of critically eroded coastline to improve community resilience within the communities of Painter's Hill, Beverly Beach, and northern Flagler Beach city limits. The beach nourishment project, known as the "Reach II" project, will consist of placing approximately 1.8 million cubic yards of offshore beach compatible sand within the project limits, and will be located immediately north of the USACE Coastal Storm Risk Management project that was recently completed in 2024.

Flagler County, FL, has 18 miles of Atlantic Ocean shorefront (Figure 1). The County beaches were severely impacted by storm surge and waves from Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, Hurricane Irma in September 2017, Hurricanes Ian and Nicole in late September and early November 2022, and numerous seasonal nor’easters over the past 5 to 10 years. The cumulative impacts of these storm events to the County’s beaches and dunes have been significant. In many areas, the entire primary frontal dune has been completely lost. Beach erosion and dune loss have exposed large areas of upland development and infrastructure, including State Road A1A along the southern area of the County, and increased threats from future coastal storms. The USACE has recently completed 3.5 of beach nourishment along the southern Flagler Beach coastline along SR A1A. The Flagler County Board of County Commissioners is pursuing a plan to restore the beach and dune along the 18-miles of coastline outside of the USACE Coastal Storm Risk Management Project, and this project will restore and additional 5.5 miles of the County's coastline through the City of Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach, and the unincorporated areas extending past Varn Park into the Hammock Dunes community.
