The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (District) is preparing plans and specifications for the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet (FIMI) Reach PL 84-99, PIR 2024 Project. FIMI PL 84-99 PIR 2024 is a structural contract that includes repair and restoration of the project to design conditions, including advance fill. The total work will consist of approximately 1.7 million CY of beachfill restoration on the eroded shoreline, replacement of approximately 35,202 ft of sand fencing, planting of approximately 31 acres of dune grass, repair of approximately 6-10 elevated timber dune crossover structures, and repair of approximately two vehicular crossovers. The sand will be dredged from the Atlantic Ocean Sand Borrow Area 2C. The critically needed beachfill will restore the eroded beach that spans a distance of 44,150 feet spanning between the communities of Ocean Bay Park to Davis Park in Suffolk County, NY. The placement distance within the project area is approximately 23,000 feet. The beachfill includes a beach berm at elevation +8.5 ft NAVD88, backed by 1V:5H side slopes on both landward and seaward sides. The construction berm width will be 90 ft plus advance nourishment fill, with an onshore slope of 1V:20H to elevation -1ft NAVD88 and an offshore slope of approximately 1V:15H to ocean bottom. Construction cost is in the range of $50,000,000 to $100,000,000.
