The project consists of approximately 3,100 feet of concrete wall with three platfon access ramps to the beach. The project is basically broken into two segments: The fc of this project is approximately 2500 linear feet and is located between the inlet and 01 the lagoon. A 600 foot southerly extension is also included which would be constrl south of the outlet jetty to protect that portion of Carlsbad Boulevard as well as a smal area. These Wo sections of coastline create a natural break in the project. Consequentl) limited funding sources available for this project, City and Corps staff focused on the mi the project between the jetties since this piece was within the projected funding limits. 103 Final Report and the previously approved Project Cooperation Agreement with 4 Engineers both indicated that the federal project being approved is for the portion jetties only. The southerly 600 foot extension is not part of the federal project and VU built if construction bid prices were favorable or if additional funds became available. noted that the existing permits with the Corps and the Coastal Commission propose entire 3,100 foot project. With this reasoning, staff has been pursuing construction of project. On September 25, 1996, the Army Corps of Engineers conducted a bid opening in ordc with the award of a construction contract for the shore protection wall. The bid doc1 required to cost the base bid (the portion between the jetties) and the additive project ( extension) separately such that final funding can be determined. The apparent lowesi estimated that this project will cost $3,737,220. Since this is a federal constructior Corps is adding various administrative charges to the total construction price.
