Offshore borrow areas previously identified and permitted by the County will be reviewed to determine the volume of beach compatible sand and determine their cost effectiveness. The data used to develop the borrow area will be reviewed, including the bathymetric, seismic, side scan sonar, and magnetometer survey data, vibracore logs, cultural resource report and any environmental resource surveys conducted in the vicinity of the borrow area. We intend to use the same outline and depths as previously developed unless there is a specific permitting or construction reason that the borrow area must be revised. We will inform the County prior to making any changes. It is assumed that since there will be no changes from the previous permitted borrow area and that the permit has not expired as yet (with respect to the borrow area) that the previous survey information is sufficient and no additional field work is required. We will develop borrow area permit sketches based on this review. If additional field investigations are required in order to permit the borrow area, a separate work order will be proposed to the County. It is advised that an updated bathymetric survey be conducted prior to construction but this is not included in this scope of work. The fill volumes and sand borrow sources will be used to estimate construction costs and durations . The construction timeline will consider sea turtle nesting season and expected permit conditions. Deliverables CPE will provide the following deliverables : 1 . An electronic copy (MS Word and PDF formats) of the draft feasibility report for the County's review and comments. 2. Two (2) hard copies an electronic copy of the final feasibility report. Required Data CPE requests that the following information be provided by the County to be used in the design of the Sector 3 berm and dune repair project. 1 . Beach Profile Monitoring Surveys — The County has scheduled beach profile monitoring surveys to be completed in July 2013 . The intent is to use the survey as the basis of the design for the dune repair. 2. Dune and Berm Template — The dune and berm template constructed 2010-2012 will used to estimate the volume of material required to repair the project area to the pre-Hurricane Sandy condition. 3 . Upland Sand Source Information — Information regarding the sediment characteristics and mine production rates will be used to evaluate the equilibrium beach profile and the anticipated construction durations . 4. Offshore Borrow Area Data — The following data will be required to verify and resubmit the offshore borrow area: bathymetric, seismic, side scan sonar, and magnetometer survey data; vibracore logs; cultural resources report; CAD files associated with the borrow area outline; offshore resource surveys in the vicinity of the borrow area. Schedule Upon receipt of the requested information we will begin the design and evaluation of the potential options for repairing the Sector 3 project area. It is anticipated that 60 days will be required to complete the analysis and compose a feasibility report documenting the findings . At such time, a draft report will be provided to the County for its review and comments. Once the comments are returned to CPE, the final report addressing the comments will be submitted to the County within in 15 days. 2481 NW BOCA RATON BOULEVARD , BOCA RATON , FL 33431 p 561 . 391 . 8102 • FAX 561 . 391 . 9116 • COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING , INC . , A CB & I COMPANY
