Indian River County Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project Additional Services Scope of Work PART 1 - ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES The primary focus of Part 1 services is to update the existing mapping and characterization of hardbottom as previously developed by DCA based upon 1999 aerial photography and the biological study and classification completed by Coastal Science Association Incorporated (CSAi) in 1999 . In general, the objectives of this Scope of Work are to : I ) Provide updated controlled aerial photography as a basis for hardbottom mapping using multi-spectral imaging analysis tools 2) Perform field work to ground truth the hardbottom classification types as defined in CSAi and on the maps by DCA 3 ) Perform field work needed to describe the abundance and biodiversity of the benthic flora and fauna associated with nearshore hardbottom in the Study Area 4) Assess the abundance of marine turtles in the Study Area 5) Evaluate the expected impacts to hardbottom associated with the proposed Project — based upon the updated hardbottom mapping and characterization. Task 1 : Controlled Aerial Photography General: In general, this task will produce controlled, vertical, color, aerial photography along the coastline for the primary purpose of mapping and quantifying exposed nearshore hardbottom and natural and artificial reef areas within the limits of the Study Area. Toward that end, it is imperative that the flight day be selected such that there is the best possible visibility in coastal waters and that the film selected is of type and quality to provide the best possible images in the greatest possible water depths. Within sixty (60) days of authorization to proceed, COASTAL TECH, via subcontract with M&E and P&A shall provide controlled aerial photography for the Study Area for a total distance of 8 .25 miles . The work shall be completed in compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) "Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects" as identified in "Section 02100 Environmental Aerial Photography Acquisition for Beach Erosion Control Projects" with the exception of: ( 1 ) Part II — Execution, Section B . Flight 16 - To provide for adequate visibility, the photography will be taken during a period of incoming tide. (2) Part II — Execution, Section B . Flight 17 — The work is to be conducted during one ( 1 ) flight; a "schedule" is not warranted. Task la - Aerial Targets : M&E in coordination with P&A, will set aerial photograph targets or identify existing landmarks (recognizable in high-altitude photography) in the Study Area (R14 to R58). Surveyed coordinates will be provided by M&E for post-flight "photo-identifiable reference points"- any set targets and/or landmarks. The points selected for reference will be relatively permanent (buildings, identifiable road demarcations , etc) such that this set of data can be used as ground control for future aerial work in this area. All ground control and coordinates will be based on the Florida State Page 2 of 14 June 13, 2007
