Attachment A — Scope of Services May 2008 Work Order 11 Indian River County Beach Sectors 1 & 2 Post -Project Monitoring (Summer 2008) INTRODUCTION The sand placement for the limited renourishment of the Ambersand project was broken into two phases. Phase I, placement of sand from the Sebastian Inlet Sand Trap, was performed under a FDEP partial notice to proceed (NTP), and allowed for placement of sand dredged from the Sebastian Inlet sand trap to be placed on the dry beach (landward of the MHW line). The Phase I portion of the project was completed in May 2006 under contract with Great Lakes Dredge and Dock, Inc. (GLDD). Pre -Construction baseline biological monitoring was performed in the summer/fall of 2007, and FDEP issued the County a full NTP to complete Phase II of this project. Phase II placed approximately 160,000 c.y. from the offshore borrow site, resulting in a total construction volume of approximately 258,000 c.y. Sand placement was completed on December 29, 2007, and Final Completion was provided to GLDD on March 26, 2008 Based on clarification from FDEP (4/7/08 e-mail from Ms. Childs) regarding the permit -required monitoring schedule, the biological and physical monitoring survey schedules are off -set by one year. The biological portion of the 2008 post -project monitoring effort will be the Post - Construction Biological Survey. The physical portion of the 2008 post -project monitoring effort will be the 1 -Year Post -Construction Physical Survey. Likewise in 2009, the 1 -Year Post -Construction Biological Monitoring and the 2 -Year Post -Construction Physical Monitoring events will occur. This scope of work includes tasks to perform and fulfill the permit -required post -project monitoring and reporting for the summer of 2008. Task 1 Biological Monitoring and Reporting (Post -Construction) The FDEP permit requires biological monitoring following the construction. CSA will perform the biological monitoring, CEG will perform required 2`d party quality assurance of the monitoring data, and ATM will perform necessary quality control on the reporting of the data per the DEP- approved Biological Monitoring Plan (February 6, 2007). Work will include surveying the ten transects established under previous surveys (R-5, R-6.5, R-8, R-9.5, R-10.5, R-12, R-14.2, R- 16.9, R-19.5, and R-22). The data collection will include collecting video transects, quadrat and sediment thickness data, and surveying the nearshore edge. A comparison of the data collected under this scope of services will be made to prior project datasets. If weather or visibility conditions prevent the collection of data, contingency monitoring will occur per protocol. The budget allocated to filed work, including contingency days and visibility checks is up to 10 days. ATM and CEG will coordinate with FDEP and USACE on nearshore conditions and efforts undertaken as part of this task. The consultants and the County will have weekly teleconferences to coordinate efforts. ATM and CSA will provide the County with regular updates via e-mail or teleconferences of the field efforts, and a report presenting the data and an analysis of the data.
