Attachment A — SCOPE OF WORK Project Name. Indian River County Artificial Reef Construction 2013-2014 FWC Agreement No. 13127 1. DESCRIPTION OF GOODS / SERVICES PROCURED, OR PROJECT WORKPLAN A. DESCRIPTION OF GOODS / SERVICES The objective of this activity is to construct a marine artificial reef by deploying at least 800 tons of concrete railroad ties, concrete culverts, and/or other concrete modular construction materials divided among two patch reefs within the Indian River County Reef Site 2 permitted area. Each of the two patch reefs will consist of concrete materials placed as a single pile (400 tons each) located about 200 feet apart from each other. The Reef Site 2 permitted area is a square permitted zone measuring one square nautical mile encompassing 745.7 acres, in federal waters off Indian River County. This site is permitted to Indian River County by the U.S. Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers Permit Number 2004-04393 (SP -TSD), which is valid until November 10, 2021. The permitted site center is located approximately 10 nautical miles on a bearing of 68° from St. Lucie Inlet. The permitted site center is located at coordinates 27° 55.507' N and 80° 15 507 W. The proposed patch reefs will be located within the northeast quadrant of the permitted area, at coordinates 27° 56.018' N and 80° 15.009' W at a depth of 70 feet. • The artificial reef construction activity to be funded consists of the following elements: MATERIALS 1. Artificial reef materials must consist of a total of at least 800 tons of concrete railroad ties, concrete culverts, and/or other concrete modular construction materials. acceptable to the COMMISSION. All artificial reef materials shall be clean and free from asphalt, creosote, petroleum, or other hydrocarbons and toxic residues, loose free floating material or other deleterious substances. 2. For each barge load of artificial reef materials, the GRANTEE shall inventory all of the artificial materials, calculate the tonnage (either using before and after barge draft calculations, trucking receipts or the known weights of individual pieces or reef modules), and take a representative photograph of the artificial reef material on the barge or other deployment vessel immediately prior to deployment. 3. The GRANTEE agrees to allow the COMMISSION to conduct on-site inspections of the artificial reef materials before, during and after the deployment. LOADING AND TRANSPORTATION 4. Artificial reef materials will be loaded using a suitable means of conveyance for transportation to a staging area site and loading onto a barge or other suitable vessel for offshore transportation to the designated artifificial reef site. Offshore transportation shall be provided by a sufficiently powered transport or towing vessel, personnel, and all necessary equipment to transport the material offshore and deploy it. Reef material loaded on to the transporting vessel must be properly secured in • Version 1.0 — June 2013 Attachment A, Page 1 of 12
