12.L1. WORK ORDER #5, COASTAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION INC., <br />SECTOR 3 BEACH RESTORATION PRE -CONSTRUCTION SERVICES <br />Coastal Resource Manager Jonathan Gorham, Ph.D., recapped his memorandum of June <br />1, 2009, outlining the proposed Work Order, and the three major tasks related to bidding and <br />permit modification for the Sector 3 Beach Restoration Project. He explained the critical nature <br />of scheduling work on the beach, since it can only be conducted from November 1st through May <br />1st of each year, to avoid the sea turtle nesting season. He outlined the tasks and descriptions, <br />and provided the anticipated start and completion dates for each task phase. Dr. Gorham <br />recommended the Board approve Work Order No. 5 with staff issuing the Notice to Proceed to <br />Coastal Technology Corporation, Inc. for only Task No. 1 at this time; and to issue a Notice to <br />Proceed with Tasks 2 and 3 at a later date. <br />Commissioner Wheeler wanted to know if funding was in place for the project, and Dr. <br />Gorham informed him that the County had not received State cost-sharing for construction, but <br />thought the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOA) stimulus money (if <br />approved), or available local funds could be used. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to see the timeline moved up; voiced concern that the <br />work would not be completed by the season of November 2009 to April 2010; and questioned <br />why the $150,000 fee to resubmit the application with an alternate sand source was necessary, <br />since the project is nearly approved — he did not think there should be any Requests for <br />Additional Information (RAI's) for this work season. <br />Dr. Gorham explained that the consultant had budgeted for three RAI's in the Work <br />Order as a contingency, and in the event they are not needed, the line item fees would not be <br />billed. <br />20 <br />June 9, 2009 <br />
