SECTION 0 10 10 SUMMARY OF WORK PART 1 — GENERAL 1 . 01 LOCATION OF WORK A . The work is located at the Spoonbill Marsh Wetland Facility , east of U . S . Highway 1 , off 57 `x' Street. This location is north of the North Relief Canal , west of the Grand Harbor parcel and abutting the Indian River Lagoon on the east . To schedule a site visit, contact Art Pfeffer, 772 - 226- 1826 or 772- 571 - 7511 . 1 . 02 SCOPE OF WORK A . The Contractor will furnish and install the Floating Mat System (FMS ) a .k. a floating plant mats and all plant material as required by Indian River County and as depicted in the Contract Specifications, Engineering Plans and Details . The Contractor will provide an Implementation Plan that maximizes the treatment efficiency of the floating plant mat, and provide sufficient quantity at strategic locations , in order to achieve a demonstrable net environmental benefit as defined in Permit FL166511 -002 -IW5A . At a minimum the floating mats will be located at the main points of ingress and egress to each of the major runnels . B . This project will be the installation of 20 , 000 square feet of effective surface area of floating plant mats . FMS is to be deployed at up to 40 specified locations with the initial planting sufficient to provide 80 % aerial coverage within 6 months . The plants to be installed within the mats shall be halophyte, native to Indian River County, Florida . See the Plans and Details for acceptable species . The planting density shall be consistent with the buoyant marine foam being used . The installation includes delivery to the project site of all fabricated mats , plant material and associated hardware. The defined estimated quantity is a maximum and is subject to be increased or decreased based on the unit price bid . C . A FMS shall consist of buoyant marine foam of a heavy duty commercial grade material that will provide sufficient floatation to support planted aquatic vegetation and wildlife without capsizing or sinking . The buoyant marine foam shall have a high surface area to volume ratio in order to enhance periphyton and biofilm growth that will facilitate nutrient removal and improve water quality in a constructed wetland . The FMS must demonstrate the proven ability to withstand marine conditions including anticipated wave action generated by high winds over the longest fetch in the system . Contractor shall provide nitrogen and phosphorus efficiency removal data for the system to be provided . D . Special Requirement : CONTRACTOR shall provide full cost accounting estimates of the Operation and Maintenance cost for a five year cycle . Contractor will provide follow up site visits by trained personnel to assess growth rates and condition of mats for a minimum of one visit per month , for twelve. months (one year) following the installation and planting of the floating plant mats . A Progress Report ( electronic format) shall be submitted monthly documenting rates of plant growth , rates of survival and overall condition of the plant mats . 01010 - 1
