Indian River County Sector 3 -- Post-Construction Monitoring Services Scope o f' Work WORK ORDER 13 Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project Post - Construction Monitoring Services Overview : This Scope cf Work is intended to provide services in support of monitoring - after construction of Phase 2b ( R20 to R26+ 500 ) of the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project ( Project) which includes fill placement from R20 to R55 . The monitoring under this Scope of Work is intended to fulfill monitoring requirements — as posed by the FDEP and/or the USACE permits consistent with the USF&WS Biological Opinion dated December 2 , 2009 - for : • year 2 " annual monitoring for the previously completed Phase I fill area ( R-36 - R- 55 ), and 0 year I " annual monitoring for the previously completed Phase 2 fill area ( R -26 + 500 - R- 36 ), and • immediate post-construction monitoring of the Phase 2b fill area ( R-20 - R-26+ 500 ) . Subsequent permit- required Biological or Physical Monitoring is not addressed in this Scope of Work. In general , the work will support the efforts of COUNTY staff, be performed by COASTAL TECH , and supported ( via sub -contracts) by Ecological Associates, Inc . (EAI ), Continental Shelf Associates , Inc . (CSA), Aerial Cartographics of America (ACA ) , Morgan & Eklund , Inc . ( M & E), and Inwater Research Group ( IRG ) as described below . The following describes the work under this Scope of Work : Task 1 — Post- Construction Physical Monitoring : In general , COASTAL TECH will provide physical monitoring services for post-construction monitoring for the Sector 3 Project — required by the FDEP Permit No . 285993 -001 -JC and outlined in the Physical Monitoring Plan dated December 16 , 2009 . It is anticipated that the COUNTY will provide topographic and bathymetric surveys of the beach and dune from R20 to R30 — as obtained by the Sebastian Inlet District . Specifically, COASTAL TECH will : • via subcontract with M & E , perform topographic and bathymetric surveys of the beach and dune from R30 to R60 , • via subcontract with ACA , provide controlled aerial photography from R15 to R60, • perform beach sand sample collection for Phases I and 2 - at a frequency of approximately every 3 , 000 shoreline feet (< 15 samples - obtained via subcontract with M& E at reference monuments R30 , R4I , and R52) , and analysis of sediment samples to evaluate the sediment characteristics of the restored beach , and • prepare and submit a post- construction engineering report and the associated monitoring data to FDEP and USACE (within 90 days post survey) . Task 2 —Post- Construction - Biological Monitoring - Escarpments : On a weekly basis, from May 1 through October 31 , 2012 or the end of the peak marine turtle nesting season ( whichever occurs sooner) - EAI will conduct visual surveys for escarpments along the entire Project area ( R20 to R55 ) to fulfill post. construction monitoring requirements of FDEP Specific Condition 24 and item 5 ( including 5a through 5b) of the "Terms and Conditions" for the "Protection of sea turtles" in the USF& WS Biological Opinion dated December 2 , 2009 - in accordance with FFWCC protocol . EAI will notify COASTAL TECH weekly of any persistent scarps within the Project area that may interfere with sea turtle nesting.
