Attachment A Scope of Services ell 11 ell April 2010 Work Order 16 Indian River County Beach Sectors 1 & 2 Post - Project Monitoring ( 2010 ) INTRODUCTION The sand placement for the limited renourishment of the Ambersand project was broken into two phases . Phase I , placement of sand from the Sebastian Inlet Sand Trap , was performed under a FDEP partial notice to proceed ( NTP ) , and allowed for placement of sand dredged from the Sebastian Inlet sand trap to be placed on the dry beach ( landward of the MHW line ) . The Phase I portion of the project was completed in May 2006 under contract with Great Lakes Dredge and Dock , Inc . ( GLDD ) . Pre-Construction baseline biological monitoring was performed in the summer/fall of 2007 , and FDEP issued the County a full NTP to complete Phase II of this project . Phase II placed approximately 160 , 000 c . y . from the offshore borrow site , resulting in a total construction volume of approximately 258 , 000 c . y . Sand placement was completed on December 291 2007 , and Final Completion was provided to GLDD on March 26 , 2008 Based on clarification from FDEP (4/7/08 e- mail from Ms . Childs ) regarding the permit- required monitoring schedule , the biological and physical monitoring survey schedules are off-set by one year. The biological portion of the 2010 post-project monitoring effort will be the 2"d Year Post- Construction Biological Survey. The physical portion of the 2010 post- project monitoring effort will be the 3rd Year Post- Construction Physical Survey. This scope of work includes tasks to perform and fulfill the permit- required post- project monitoring and reporting for 2010 . Task 1 Biological Monitoring and Reporting ( 2"d Year Post-Construction ) The FDEP permit requires biological monitoring following the construction . Continental Shelf Associates International , Inc . ( CSA) will perform the biological monitoring , Costal Eco-Group , Inc . ( CEG ) will perform required 2nd party quality assurance of the monitoring data , and ATM will perform necessary quality control on the reporting of the data per the DEP -approved Biological Monitoring Plan ( February 6 , 2007 ) . Work will include surveying the ten transects established under previous surveys ( R -5 , R -6 . 51 R -81 R -9 . 51 R - 10 . 51 R - 121 R - 14 . 21 R - 16 . 9 , R - 19 . 5 , and R -22 ) . The data collection will include collecting video transects , quadrat and sediment thickness data , and surveying the nearshore edge . A comparison of the data collected under this scope of services will be made to prior project datasets . If weather or visibility conditions prevent the collection of data , contingency monitoring will occur per protocol . The budget allocated to filed work , including contingency days and visibility checks is up to 10 days . ATM and CEG will coordinate with FDEP and USACE on nearshore conditions and efforts undertaken as part of this task . The consultants and the County will have weekly teleconferences to coordinate efforts . ATM and CSA will provide the County with regular updates via e- mail or teleconferences of the field efforts , and a report presenting the data and an analysis of the data .
