Scope of Work

The CEMS® system is designed to produce implementation success consistent with weather, environmental and other constraints. The work scope is functionally divided into - Project Development, Construction Project Management, Construction Consultant Services, Construction Data Collection & Modeling, Construction Site Work for Installation, Construction Site Demobilization, and Construction Site Monitoring and Testing. The following outlines the scope of work.

Project Development : 30 - 60 Days

Activities include site reconnaissance by project scientist, engineers and project management. Engineering activities include Geo-technical, Coastal and Environmental engineering surveys. Additionally, initial permitting discussions and analysis will occur with state and federal agencies. Specific deliverables include site acquisition assessment, survey analysis, general data harvesting and review, technical project review and sub-contracting assessments and selection.

Construction Project Management : Ongoing

During this period, BRI will begin the process of establishing the necessary documentation and analysis in meeting and obtaining the permitting from the appropriate state and federal agencies. Additionally, more extensive detailed site selection and data gathering protocols will be completed. Project calendar will be finalized with local sub-contracting selections being concluded. Scientific and engineering issues with action plans are documented. Project objectives and deliverables are finalized and overall project package provided to client.

Construction Consultant Services : 30 - 60 Days

Geo-technical, Coastal and Environmental Engineers perform pre-project analysis. This process establishes firm benchmarks for the overall project as well as resolving documented scientific and engineering issues. Remaining permitting issues are resolved at this stage.

Construction Data Collection, Processing & Modeling : 60 - 90 Days

General and site-specific data collection begins. This process includes, but is not limited to, the collection of NOAA weather data, historic site engineering data; site-specific data is acquired through the placement of multiple instrumentation platforms in both the swash zone and the near-shore environment. Additionally, the geomorphology of the beach is integrated. The deliverable will be data requirements necessary for fusion into the data matrix associated with the BRI models.

Construction Installation Site Work : 30 - 60 Days

Site preparation and implementation of the CEMS® Low Profile Stabilization System (LPSS).

Construction Site Demobilization : 10 - 15 Days

Post construction site clean-up.

Post Construction Monitoring & Testing : Six Months

Post-construction monitoring will take place for six months after the completion of the installation. High-resolution beach profiles will be obtained quarterly, as well as post-storm, along the entire length of the project site. Measurements will be made to assess updrift and downdrift impacts. Structural inspections of the CEMS® geo-textile systems will also be conducted during this period and video and still photos will be obtained.

Refinements to the scope of work will be accomplished after a specific site is selected and a preliminary site reconnaissance accomplished.
