Indian River County Work Order Number 2 Beach Preservation Plan Scope of Work Task 3 - FUNDING OPTIONS Task 3a - Public Access Inventory: Based upon documentation available from COUNTY and FDEP documents, the COUNTY will prepare a summary inventory of existing beach accesses and associated public facilities (parking, restrooms, etc.) in order to evaluate the degree of public access within each sector. 'Che COUNTY will prepare tabular summaries (in the form of EXCEL files) and "marked-up" aerials (in the form of GIS exhibits) to illustrate the length of accessible shoreline and the associated State cost-share percentages that can be expected under existing State Erosion Control Program policies. The COUNTY will identify potential beach access points for improvement and/or acquisition to increase the amount of State funds the COUNTY would be eligible to receive. COASTAL TECII will review the tabular summaries and aerials for compliance with FDEP rules. COASTAL TECH will confer with County staff regarding potential beach access points. Task 3b - Potential Funding Sources : Based on the conceptual designs developed under Task 2b and the degree of public access from Task 3a, COASTAL TECII will generically identify potential federal , state, regional and local revenue sources which might be used for future implementation of projects. The COUNTY will : 1 ) identify potential sources and funding levels, 2) assess the advantages and disadvantages of each funding source, and 3) chart the process and likely time frames for obtaining funds. Alternative sources may include Sebastian Inlet Tax District, general revenue, Municipal Services Benefit or Taxing Units (MSBU/M STU), special assessment, tourist tax, Florida Erosion Control Program, and the U. S . Army Corps of Engineer's Shore Protection Program. COASTAL TECII will confer with COUNTY staff to identify a long-term funding plan that appears to best address the COUNTY' s goals and objectives. Task 4 — PLAN FORMULATION Task 4a - DRAFT Plan : Based on the above tasks ( 1 -3), COASTAL TECH will prepare a DRAFT Beach Preservation Plan. The DRAFT plan will include the stand alone documents produced in Tasks 1 and 2 and the results of Task 3 . The Plan will be consistent with FDEP Erosion Control Program guidelines, and maximize State funding for erosion control projects. The Plan will include sections describing: 1 ) the locally preferred alternatives consistent with Florida statutes for addressing or abatement of beach erosion in each sector, 2) the necessary restoration and maintenance activities over the next ten years, 3) a 10-year funding strategy, including post storm recovery budget recommendations. COASTAL TECH will prepare a DRAFT Plan, which documents the results of the above tasks. COASTAL TECH will review the DRAFT Plan with the COUNTY, make appropriate revisions as may be identified by the COUNTY, and provide fifteen ( 15) copies of the DRAFT Plan for distribution by the COUNTY to the Beach Committee. COASTAL TECH will meet with the Beach Committee to present the results of the above tasks. COASTAL TECH will meet with the Board of County Commissioners to present the Plan.
