1 Attachment A — SCOPE OF WORK Project Name. Indian River County Artificial Reef Construction 2013-2014 FWC Agreement No. 13127 compliance with Coast Guard standards to allow for its safe transport to the reef construction site. 5. The GRANTEE's Project Manager shall complete the FWC Artificial Reef Cargo Manifest form to be maintained onboard the vessel at all times during transport of materials, pursuant to Chapter 379.249, Florida Statutes. The form is available on the COMMISSION's website: http://www.myfwc corn/conservation/saltwater/artificial-reefs. DEPLOYMENT AND MATERIALS PLACEMENT • 6. During the deployment of the artificial reef material, the transport vessel must be effectively moored through double anchoring, be spudded down, or otherwise be held securely in place with minimal movement (+/-50 feet) to ensure accurate placement of the concrete patch reef on the bottom. Material must be arranged to provide habitat complexity as well as provide sand bottom forage area opportunities. Individual reef materials should not be widely scattered. Any machinery used to move and deploy the reef materials should be sufficiently powered/maneuverable and capably operated to ensure timely, effective and safe off-loading of materials. The tug or transport vessel shall meet all U.S. Coast Guard certification and safety requirements, be equipped with a working, accurate Global Positioning System (GPS) unit and other marine electronics including a working VHF radio. Effective and reliable communications shall exist at all times between the transport vessel, and the designated GRANTEE observer on site. Deployment operations will only be initiated when sea height in the operations area is no greater than two to four feet as forecast by the nearest NOAA weather office. Either the Commission's observer, the GRANTEE s observer or the subcontractor's vessel captain reserves the right to suspend off-loading operations if positioning and other deployment objectives, including safety of personnel and equipment, are not being met. 7. At least 800 tons of concrete railroad ties, concrete culverts, and/or other concrete modular construction materials will be 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 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. 8. The minimum vertical clearance of 40 ft. shall be maintained above the highest point of the reef material in the Indian River Site 2 Artificial Reef Site (in accordance with the special conditions of the US Army Corps of Engineers permit number SAJ-2004- 04393 (SP -TSD)). 9. The GRANTEE's Contract Manager or GRANTEE's designated official observer shall oversee the temporary marking of the reef deployment location in advance of reef materials deployment in order to assist the subcontractor in the proper placement of the artificial reef materials. The markers shall be buoys of sufficient size and color to be clearly visible to the tug captain, and sufficiently anchored and with sufficient scope so that they will not drift off the designated deployment site prior to deployment. The COMMISSION will not pay for materials placed outside the Version 1.0 — June 2013 Attachment A, Page 2 of 12
