This slide represents some of our major projects we have on our forecast for this FY. You will notice that all of these project areas are located in Central-south Florida.
HHD: We have two construction contracts that will include three culvert replacements along the Indian Prairie Canal, a tributary feeder canal to Lake Okeechobee. Also we will be awarding a cut-off wall gap closure contract within the Southeast reach of Herbert Hoover Dike. These contracts will continue to advance risk reduction measures at Lake Okeechobee and Herbert Hoover Dike. We currently have obligated $303million for culvert replacement to make the dam safe and welcome contractor interest in this project.
Kisssimmee River Restoration: We have 3 contracts forecasted for award this FY. These three contracts will continue the effort on the more than 40 sq miles of river-floodplain ecosystem that will be restored upon completion of KRR project.
C44: This is a bank stabilization project in connection with our C44 Project.
DMMA07 – as part of our dredging mission , the Corps looks towards non federal sponsors to obtain land for disposal. In this case of DMMA 07, in partnership with FIND, the Corps will procure and construct DMMA for future dredge material management needs.
Broward County WPA: This is a CERP project that consists of 3 major components that were recommended as part of CERP. We received authorization in WRRDA For this program, the first contract to be awarded under is small that and we expect to be in the SB program. Consists of levees, canals, and small structures. However, there is more to come on this program as funding is received.
C-111 Contract 8(a) : We will continue to advance the C-111 South Dade project through award of the construction Contract 8a this FY with Contract 9, L-31 West Canal backfill to follow.

7. JACKSONVILLE DISTRICT PROGRAM Funds Obligated by Fiscal Year (FY)
$ Millions
Highlight Small Business accomplishments in FY15 Program:
In FY15 we awarded $75mil dollars to SB prime contractors. In fact we met all of our SB goals except for WOSB. We are proud to say that our dollars increased significantly in all of our programs from FY14. In comparison to some of the large military districts that might not seem like a lot. But keep in mind we have huge/mega programs such as our navigation(dredging), SFEER, and HHD program.
But one thing we can brag about is all of the SB subcontracting opportunities afforded to small businesses as a result of these large contracts. In HHD alone we have almost $175million planned to be subcontracted to SB firms.
In FY16 we are confident we will also meet our goals as we have several robust projects slated for the SB program. So be sure to check out the District’s FY16 Forecast located in the District’s website.

Largest Shore Protection Program in the Nation
Constructs/maintains over 30% of the nation’s shore protection projects
17 Counties involved
Partnership with sponsors and agencies
Protects infrastructure and property from flood damage
Beneficial for recreation, habitat, and economy
Major projects include Dade County, Pinellas County, and Brevard County
Jacksonville District has the largest shore protection program in the Nation and constructs/maintains over 30% of the nation’s total shore protection projects.
Additionally SAJ has been very successful in placing sand on beaches through regional sediment management involving the beneficial use of navigation dredged material.
Opportunities: Construction Contracts and Environment Service Contract- resource surveys, geotech field work
To highlight the economic importance, annual revenues from international tourists in Miami Beach are greater than what the Federal Government spends on beach nourishment for the entire nation (Houston, 2013).
There are 3 awards scheduled this fiscal year with others possible pending funds. You can find out more about these on our forecast.

Each year, more than 6 million people travel to South Florida to visit Lake Okeechobee and the Okeechobee Waterway. Whether to camp, fish, bike, or relax and enjoy nature's beauty, the lake and the waterway have something for everyone.
In this “Heartland of South Florida” the Corps manages EIGHT prime recreation facilities that are easily accessible from I-95 or I-75. These facilities are manned by our District’s very capable Park Ranger staff as well as by our volunteers. The Corps-managed recreation areas are:
W. P. Franklin Lock & Dam North and South Recreation Areas, in Alva
Ortona Lock & Dam North and South Recreation Areas, in Moore Haven
Port Mayaca Lock & Dam Recreation Areas North and South
St. Lucie Lock & Dam North and South Recreation Areas.
Between W. P. Franklin, Ortona and St. Lucie we manage three campgrounds with 93 campsites. Our facilities also provide boat ramps at W. P. Franklin, Port Mayaca, Ortona and St. Lucie recreation areas.
The Corps has three visitor centers: W. P. Franklin Lock & Dam Recreation Area, St. Lucie Lock & Dam Recreation Area and the South Florida Operations Office in Clewiston.
