Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Operations are to be limited to daylight hours Monday through Friday. 2. Operations are to be staged from an upland area. 3. All work is to be performed in a manner that avoids and/or minimizes impacts to live bottom and other resource areas (e.g., seagrass beds, oyster beds, wetlands, mangroves, and other sensitive habitats) while approaching, working in, and leaving the derelict vessel site. 4. All work shall avoid impacts to manatees, sea turtles, and other species listed by the state and federal government as threatened or protected. 5. The Contractor will remove all contaminants and pollutants including fuels, batteries, paints, solvents, and engine from the derelict vessel prior to extraction. Any contaminant or pollutant found to be contained within a derelict vessel shall be removed by the Contractor, placed in an approved container, and disposed of properly. The placement of an absorbent blanket on the surface of the water around the derelict vessel within the turbidity barrier is required where free floating product (gas/oil) is observed. 6. The Contractor is to provide appropriate best management practices (BMPs) approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for erosion control and turbidity protection while each derelict vessel is being removed. In areas of low to moderate currents, a Type II floating turbidity barrier will be installed within a ten (10) foot radius of the vessel being removed prior to starting any removal activities. The turbidity barrier shall be anchored to the bottom of the waterway. 7. The Contractor is to provide appropriate BMPs for erosion control and turbidity prevention around the vessels/barges being used to remove the derelict vessel and around the perimeter of any upland staging site (where necessary). 8. The Contractor is to monitor turbidity levels throughout removal work. 9. In an effort to reduce turbidity, a crane, winch and/or approved alternate method is to be used to raise the derelict vessel from the water. 10. The Contractor will assess turbidity levels and allow them to return to an acceptable level similar to pre-project condition prior to removal of turbidity measures. 11. The dragging of vessels is to be avoided both on and off-shore. All vessels/barges used in vessel removal shall continually monitor water depths to avoid running aground. 12. The Contractor will load derelict vessels onto a barge and/or flat bed truck (or similar) for proper disposal...
