  1. Erosion & Sediment Control in Florida Construction A New Approach for FDOT

  2. Erosion & Sediment Control • What is the new approach? • Brief history of current Erosion and Sediment Controls • What’s in it for Contractors? • What’s in it for FDOT? • What’s in it for Regulatory Agencies? • Challenges

  3. Erosion & Sediment Control The New Approach: Contractor responsible for the design and implementation of its plan for Erosion & Sediment Controls This allows the Contractor to optimize its approach to construction of the project and its use of E&SC measures

  4. Erosion & Sediment Control Brief History FDOT has historically provided in its contracts designs for erosion and sediment controls. These designs are based on assumptions that the FDOT’s Design Engineer makes about the approach a contractor will take in constructing the project.

  5. Erosion & Sediment Control Brief History Often the result of Designer assumed approach to project has been inefficiencies, overruns, extra costs, sometimes environmental citations/fines. Many of these issues can be avoided with a contractor developed erosion and sediment control plan.

  6. Erosion & Sediment Control What’s in this new approach for Contractor? • Increased efficiency • Control of products used • Possible competitive advantage • Change in approach to bidding the work • Increased/shared risk

  7. Erosion & Sediment Control What’s in this new approach for FDOT? • Potential cost savings • Better controls of sediment and erosion control on projects • Reduced/shared risk

  8. Erosion & Sediment Control What’s in this new approach for Regulatory Agencies? • Improved erosion and sediment control on FDOT construction projects

  9. Erosion & Sediment Control Challenges • Convincing Contractor’s that the increased risk is outweighed by the improved efficiencies or potential competitive advantages • Paradigm shift for Contractors in the way they bid this work • Get Contractors to recognize the opportunities

  10. Erosion & Sediment Control Challenges • Education • Ensuring that necessary information is provided to bidders

  11. Erosion & Sediment Control Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
