TASKS and DELIVERABLES : TASK NUMBER 1 TASK NAME : Land Acquisition TASK DESCRIPTION : This process involved the land purchase for construction of the ATS facility . Closing for the sale and contract was executed on August 24, 2012 for a total cost of $ 754, 528 . 00 . This cost was expended as other required expenditures, not required match . ALLOWABLE COSTS : $754 , 528 for acquiring 12 . 81 acres of land; not required match so additional documentation not needed other than description of how funds were expended in the final project report. DELIVERABLES : 12 . 81 acres acquired, closing on August 24 , 2012 TASK NUMBER 2 TASK NAME : Design and Permitting, Bidding TASK DESCRIPTION : This task involves the surveying, sub- surface exploration, preparation of design drawings and specifications and application of construction permits . Design services were provided by several engineering consultants who comprised an engineering team to facilitate an accelerated schedule . The Grantee shall design the system as described in Tasks 3 , 3A, 313 , and 3C (BMP Construction) and obtain all necessary permits . Permits should be obtained from the U . S . Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), St. Johns River Water Management District, Indian River Farms Water Control District, and Indian River County Specifically , these permits will include : FDEP Industrial Wastewater (ww) and environmental resource permit (erp), five (5 ) separate Indian River Farms Water Control District ( IRFWCD) permits, a St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) consumptive use permit and Indian River County ( IRC) site plan permit. The Grantee shall prepare and solicit bids utilizing a bid package in accordance with state and federal laws and this Agreement. The work will be bid under two (2 ) separate projects : 1 ) The PC Sourth Algal Nutrient Facility, including a large pump station located on the IRFWCD South Relief Canal , and 2) A large diameter force main from the South Relief Canal Pump Station to the PC South Algal Nutrient Removal Facility Site . ALLOWABLE COSTS : All costs in this task are additional expenditures to be made by the Grantee, not required match. The design for site plan, electrical structural , pump station and pipe routing projects have resulted in a total cost of $778 , 315 in consulting fees . The permit application fees estimate a total cost of $7 ,025 . 00 in contractual review fees ; the estimated contractual cost of bidding services is $20,000 . 00 this task includes the permit application DELIVERABLES : Submission of copy of final design ; copy of all required permits . Submission of a copy of bid package and selection of contractor documents . PERFORMANCE STANDARD : Approval of final design is contingent upon approved permits . The Department Grant Manager will review the bid package and copy of subcontract to ensure compliance with state and federal laws specific to this Agreement. TASK NUMBER 3 TASK NAME : BMP Construction TASK DESCRIPTION : The Grantee shall develop approximately ten ( 10) acres within a 12 . 81 acre parcel for the purpose of creating an Algal Nutrient Removal Facility as depicted in Figures 1 and 2 , attached and incorporated herein . The entire PC South Algal Nutrient Removal Facility and connecting systems will be composed of the following components, which will be broken out into subtasks to utilize both 319 and TMDL funding: 1 . Influent flow delivery system , which will be a low head, high flow pumping system (e .g. submersible pumps), to be constructed under Task 3A 2 . Intermittent release control device or flow surger, designed to pulse flows in a manner emulative of oscillatory waves . This device is an automatic siphon mechanism placed on a surger box . The intermittent surging of water helps disrupt the algal cell wall boundary which enhances the rate of diffusion of nutrients, particularly at low concentrations, to be constructed under Task 3 B . 3 . An influent distribution system designed to distribute water equitably along the width of the ANRF floway, with flow introduced from the flow surger, to be constructed under Task 313 4 . A sloped ANRF floway that includes an impervious concrete surface as an attachment matrix for the algae . Floway length is determined by treatment requirements and influent characteristics , to be constructed under Task 313 5 . An effluent and harvest flume that runs the full width of the ANRF floway . Typically this flume is triangular in cross section, with a variable cross sectional area, increasing as flows accumulate . The slope is designed to ensure at least 1 . 5 fps velocity throughout the flume, which ensures conveyance of the harvested material . The flume serves both as a means to move effluent, and, during harvest, to transport harvested algae to an automated self cleaning bar DEP Agreement No . G0353 , Attachment A- 1 , Page 5 of 14
