The USACE does not have a timeline requiring their response but may also submit a request for additional information. USACE RAIs may also include questions from USFWS, NOAA-NMFS, other Federal agencies and the general public. Ideally, we will try to provide an unofficial response to the agencies by coordinating with them during the initial period of review. However, some questions may require an official, written response. We will coordinate with the County on the extent of the response and what the implication may be to the permitting process and construction. . Sometimes, the RAI will contain cost implications due to an expanded monitoring or mitigation requirement. We will draft a response and submit this to the County for review prior to submittal to the agencies with a copy to the County. Deliverables Three hard copy responses to the RAI, along with an electronic copy, will be prepared. Two copies will be sent to the agencies while one will be submitted to the County. Schedule The schedule for the response to the RAI is dependent on the extent of the questions . We will attempt to respond to the questions within 14 days of receipt of a NTP from the County to begin the work. We will inform the County if we are unable to meet this schedule due to the extent of response required. Cos The cost to develop and submit a response to each RAI is $3,984, which includes one response to the FDEP and one response to the USACE. We will coordinate with the County upon receipt of an RAI and determine whether the cost included herein is representative of the extent of work required to develop the response. We have included two responses in the overall cost proposal for planning purposes . Each RAI response will be a separate NTP item from the County. CPE will not begin work on the RAI until the County issues a NTP. Construction Plans and Specifications Construction plans and specifications are required as part of the JCP permit application. However, we will request that these be included as a Notice to Proceed item by the FDEP and USACE. Thus they will be submitted after the Notice of Intent to Issue is received. Development of the construction plans and specifications will be initiated once the permits have been issued and the County has chosen to move forward with construction. Plans and specifications will provide the necessary details to the contractor to construct the project, establish payment criteria, and adhere to the permit conditions. The documents will be submitted to FDEP and USACE to fulfill the permit application requirements upon their completion. It is recommended that the County resurvey the borrow area to ensure that there have been no changes and that adequate volumes still remain. The cost of the field work is not included in this scope of work. Front end documents to assist bid solicitation and award, outline contractual obligations, and define the responsible parties and their roles will be developed in conjunction with the construction plans and specifications. The County will provide their front end documents for inclusion into the bid package. This scope of work does not included assistance with bid solicitation or oversight during construction. If these services are requested by the County, they will be included under a separate work order. 2481 NW BOCA RATON BOULEVARD , BOCA RATON , FL 33431 561 . 391 . 8102 • FAX 561 . 391 . 9116 • .
