STATEMENT OF WORK
BISCAYNE BAY BLUEWAY
CITY OF MIAMI SEGMENT PHASE 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Biscayne Bay Blueway City of Miami Segment --Phase I Project (Project) is partially funded by
FY2006 Surface Water Management and Improvement (SWIM) funds provided to the South Florida Water
Management District (District) by the Florida Legislature in their 2005 Legislative session. These funds are
administered through the District and dispersed and managed at the local level.
One of the world's most beautiful bodies of water, Biscayne Bay defines South Florida. Its waters form a
rich ecosystem of subtropical plants, fish, birds and other wildlife. The coastal area is remarkable in its

and marinas, high-rise hotels, commercial areas and neighborhoods of every style and personality.
The Biscayne Bay Blueway represents a component of a statewide effort called the Florida
Circumnavigation Saltwater Paddling Trail to identify and map canoe and kayak trails around the state of
Florida. The Florida Circumnavigation Saltwater Paddling Trail was first recognized in law by the Florida
Legislature in 1989, Chapter 260:016(.1)(e). During the 2005 legislative session, Chapter 260 was amended
through HB 1141 to more formally establish the trail as part of the Florida Greenways and Trails Program,
and named 26 segments of the trail, of which nine are within the boundaries of the SFWMD. The SFWMD
entered into a cooperative agreement earlier this year with DEP and the Florida Wildlife Federation to begin
mapping three segments: The Florida Keys, Biscayne Bay, and Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale. The Biscayne
Bay Blueway is named in legislation as Segment 16 and lies within the jurisdictional boundaries of Miami
Dade County.
The City of Miami has been working cooperatively with the District to improve the habitat and shoreline of
Biscayne Bay since 2001. The City maintains twelve city parks and spoil islands adjacent to Biscayne Bay.
These parks and spoil islands contain a variety of native flora and fauna and offer spectacular views of the
Bay. Through a funding collaboration with the District, the City seeks to restore habitat, stabilize shoreline,
and develop canoe/kayak access and education points within Segment 16 of the Florida Circumnavigation
Paddling trail. The City's goal is to improve recreational opportunities within its parks, improve access to
Biscayne Bay, and restore environmentally sensitive lands adjacent to the Bay.
The District identified Biscayne Bay as a critical component of its Coastal Watershed Program. Educating
the public through low -impact environmental recreation fits well with the goal of preserving Biscayne Bay.
The funding partnership between the City and the District will accomplish both restoration and education
objectives of the Coastal Watersheds Program.
2.0 OBJECTIVE
The project consists of shoreline stabilization and installation of canoe/kayak launches with educational
materials and navigational signage at two City of Miami parks: Momingside and Margaret Pace.

2.1 Morningside Park improvements
Historic Morningside Park, between 50th and 55`h Street, in midtown Miami, fronts over 2,000 feet of
Biscayne Bay Shoreline. The Morningside residential District was established in the early years of Miami,
and the Park has stood as a hub of recreation for local area residents for many years. Historical shoreline
erosion at the Park has been abated by placement of concrete rubble in random fashion. However during
periods of heavy storm activity and hurricanes, some areas of the shoreline have undergone recession,
leaving rubble scattered on the Bay bottom several feet offshore of waters edge. The City has identified
areas of the shoreline where shoreline stabilization should occur. Based on meetings with the local
homeowners group, other areas of shoreline would remain open for access by small kayaks and canoes to
Biscayne Bay and the offshore spoil islands.
The area of Momingside Park shoreline from the lagoon outfall south to the public boat ramp has been
identified for partial shoreline stabilization, Residents of Morningside have stressed to the City of Miami

canoes and kayaks. Other areas of shoreline that have been colonized by wetland vegetation and mangroves
would also remain untouched. The immediate plan is to clean and dispose of old concrete rubble and debris
along the entire shoreline, followed by regrading and placement of filter cloth and native limerock boulders
to form a compact revetment.
At least two openings between mangrove stands have been identified for small boat access. These openings
are proposed to have offsetting riprap elements that will allow boat launching, and provide secondary
shoreline and wave protection. The upland will be regraded and overlaid with clean sandy material
conducive to placement of fiberglass boats prior to and after launching. Upland of these boat launching
areas, two informational kiosks will be constructed to inform the public of the Dade County Blueways
program and locations boaters may travel in North Biscayne Bay. The kiosks will also have informational
literature for distribution to the public. Planning for shoreline improvements to Momingside Park south of
the existing boat ramp will be initiated during the 2006 fiscal year.
2.2 Margaret Pace Park improvements
The improvements at Margaret Pace Park include habitat improvement of native shoreline plants,
stabilization of shoreline similar to Momingside Park and installation of signage with educational and
navigational information. A canoe Iaunch area already exists and will be improved through the installation
of additional vegetation.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The Biscayne Bay Blueway City of Miami Segment Phase I Project (Project) consists of the construction of
two boat launches at Morningside Park, improvement of one boat launch at Margaret Pace Park,
stabilization of shoreline, placement of educational and navigational signage, and planting of native
vegetation at both parks. The project will include outreach, engineering design, permitting, habitat
improvement and construction services.
