Re: CZT-3-13(L&W) VI Department of Public Works Veterans Drive Project 
Dear Director Hibbert:  
The Virgin Island Department of Public Works respectfully request the extension of CZT-3-12 (L&W).  
CZT-3-12 (L&W) was issued in July 2015 and the USACE permit was issued in 2017.  We are expecting 
to receive the renewed USACE permit either later this month or early January 2025 (timing may be 
affected by the federal government potential shutdown).  The project is expected to resume in early 
2025.  Phase 1A of the project and the mitigation activities for the project have been completed.  
Phase 1A of the project was completed in July of 2021 and we have submitted copies of the  5 year 
and final monitoring reports for both the seagrass transplant and coral transplants.   The 
compensatory mitigation monitoring at Triangle Reef was completed in May 2024. 
There are no changes related to the project design or construction.  The Environmental Assessment 
and Biological Opinion were both updated due to the new species listing and we are forwarding 
those documents to you herewith. 
The Phase 2 proposed schedule is as follows: 
June 2023 - Submission of 90% Bid documents 
March 2023 - Submission of 100% Bid documents (Schedule Split) 
August 2024 - Submission of Final bid documents 
September 2024 - Certification of Bid documents 
Fall 2024 - Bid Solicitation 
December 2024 - Award Contract 
January 2025 - Construction Notice to Proceed 
January 2027 - Construction complete 
 
Please let us know if you need any additional information.  We look forward to your earliest 
response. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Respectfully Submitted,
