Weekly Progress Report

May 3 thru May 23, 2009

The following tasks were completed during the weeks of May 03rd thru May 23rd:

-The Contractor dredged an estimated 13,545 cubic yards during the reporting period. (4,693 cyds during the week of May 23rd). Work efficiency was approximately 31%. The efficiency for the project to date is 41%. Efficiency is calculated as the ratio of total dredging time to total work time.
-The Contractor encountered what is assumed to be a piling from the old temporary bridge on May 15th. The temporary bridge was built to bypass traffic while the current bridge was under construction in the early 80's.
-Production during the reporting period was slowed due to mechanical malfunctions with the booster pump. The additional pump is required to move the shell in the dredge material to the fill site.

The following tasks are anticipated during the week of May 24th thru May 30th:

-A Least Tern nest was identified south of the fill area on Sunday, May 24th. All project personnel and equipment are required to avoid the nest by a minimum of 300 feet.
-The County will locate the old pilings in the dredge area and identify if they should be removed. -Dredging operations are expected to alternate between Dredge 'Nate' in the Gulf and Dredge 'Michael' landward of the remaining sheet pile wall between the hours of 4am and midnight. It is expected ‘Nate’ will work during the morning hours and ‘Michael’ during the evening. It is expected only 1 dredge will work at any given time due to limitations with the booster pump and shell content in the sand.

Outstanding and other Items to Note:

-The required production rate to complete the project by July 8 is 776 cubic yards per day. The project records indicate the Contractor has not maintained this production rate for a period of 7 consecutive days without both dredges operational.
-J.N. 'Ding' Darling NWR and Lee County will be marking the boundaries of the ‘Pole and Troll” zone in Wulfert Flats by July 8th. Enforcement of the zone will begin immediately after the regulatory signs / buoys are installed. Efforts will be made to educate boaters of the new requirements prior to enforcement beginning. Regulations require all outboard motors to be raised out of the water, and vessels to move by trolling motors or other non-mechanical means.
